A Lightweight Double Buggy For Families With Twins Or Closer Together
If you have twins or two children close in age, a double buggy could be a game changer. They offer more seating configurations and are usually bigger than single strollers.
They don’t have to be heavy or bulky. Some have narrow designs and fold flat to make them easier to squeeze into tight spots or up and down stairs.
Leclerc Influencer
At just 6.6 kg the stroller is super-light and compact, with an innovative auto-fold mechanism that takes only seconds to operate. It can be used as early as birth with the bassinet that is available (sold separately), and is cabin-approved for use in overhead bins when flying but it’s recommended to consult with your airline as regulations can differ. Jane, our mum-of-two test subject, states that the Influencer Air is extremely easy to push and provides good stability. She also likes that the sun canopy can be adjusted to give adequate coverage for taller children and includes a cup holder for travel. You can also purchase extra accessories, such as a transparent cover for rain and an Teddy Footmuff, which combines the warmth of a teddy-sherpa with an outer fabric that is water-resistant in colder weather.
Leclerc’s Baby Influencer XL is an upgrade over its peers thanks to its stunning design, vibrant colours and well-constructed frame and fabric materials. Its one-touch, super-fast folding mechanism lets it fold and unfurl in only 1.5 seconds. This makes it ideal for daily use and longer trips. It also comes with bags for travel to make it easier when you’re packing it in the car, on the train or in the overhead compartment of your plane when you depart on vacation.
iCandy Orange
The iCandy Orange is a great choice for parents who are style-conscious and have a budget to spend and want a light stroller that has lots of innovative features. This includes an ingenious ride-on board, a spacious basket and car seat adapters. The optional risers can be used to transform it into the form of a tandem double buggy.
It feels easy to push, with a good turning circle and soft suspension that bounces gently over bumps. It is also easy to move around, even if a toddler is sitting on the front wheels. In double running stroller mode, it’s somewhat more difficult to navigate large curbs as the weight shifts in front. However this is the case for most twin buggies.
This update for 2021 has made the back wheels a bit smaller, which makes it easier to maneuver in tight spaces, such as the entrances to shops, doors and public transport. The tyres are also very robust and come with treads that are able to handle mud and grass. It’s also a breeze to fold – releasing an attachment on the back wheels and pulling two levers on the handle opens it up in seconds. When folded, it stands on its own. A sun screen made of mesh is also available for the seat and carrycot. It can be affixed in seconds.
Joie Evalite Duo
The Joie Evalite Duo is a fun and cheerful combo that was designed and engineered to make travelling with two as easy as it can be. It weighs only 10kg making it one of the lightest twin strollers available on the market. It’s super easy to ride, drive and load and lift. The pushchair folds flat seamlessly with just one hand and then stands up by itself when not in use. It’s also compatible with Joie Gemm and i-Snug baby car seats (car seat sold separately) to create the complete travel system.
The rear seat isn’t able to fully recline. However, this is a minor issue in a genuinely great double buggy. You can’t add an extra board to the buggy, however this is not unusual for side-by-side designs.
Overall overall, the Evalite buggy is a stunning buggy that can be improved upon with a few small adjustments. The seats are comfortable for children of all age and it is easy to drive. The handle is padded to make it easier to grip, and the wheels are suspended to ensure an enjoyable ride. It’s also very sturdy and has a decent amount of storage space, especially when you attach the shopping basket. It’s also a stylish stroller with a variety of eye-catching colours.

This is a top-rated double buggy for those looking for a sturdy all-terrain stroller with lots of seating options.
It has a great canopy that offers ample coverage and is a breeze to adjust to different heights of heads. The handlebar is taller than the other models and therefore may not be suitable for smaller parents however, it’s a great choice for people who have longer strides. The front wheels can be used to lock or rotate, which is great for steering on rough terrain.
The only drawback of this stroller is that it doesn’t fold as compactly as the other strollers in our list. The second seat needs to be removed to fold the stroller, which could be a problem if intend to keep it in your vehicle or closet. It does have one of the largest storage bins we’ve seen in our rankings, so it should still be a decent fit for most people who need a light double stroller for their children.
