The 9 Things Your Parents Taught You About Lightweight Double Buggy
A Lightweight Double Buggy For Families With Twins Or Closer Together
If you have twins or two kids close in age, a double buggy could be a game changer. They can provide more seating options and are typically larger than single strollers.
They don't need to be bulky or heavy. Some are slim and fold flat, making it easier to maneuver through tight spaces or to climb and descend the stairs.
Leclerc Influencer
The stroller is compact and weighs just 6.6 kg and comes with an auto-folding mechanism that can be operated in a matter of seconds. The bassinet is available separately and can be used from the time of birth. It's cabin-approved to fit into overhead bins on flights. Jane, our mum-of-two test subject, says that the Influencer Air is extremely easy to push and provides excellent stability. She also likes that the sun canopy is adjustable providing adequate coverage for taller children and that the stroller has an integrated cup holder for travel. You can buy extra accessories, such as an opaque rain cover and a Teddy Footmuff, which combines a warm teddy-sherpa lining to an outer fabric that is water-resistant in colder conditions.
Leclerc's Baby Influencer XL is a step above its rivals thanks to its stunning design, vibrant colours and a beautifully constructed frame and fabric materials. Its quick one-touch folding mechanism means it can be folded and unfolded in 1.5 seconds which makes it perfect for everyday use or extended trips. It comes with a travel case to make it easy. It can be put in a bag in your car or on a train or in the overhead compartment of a plane.
iCandy Orange
The iCandy Orange is a great option for parents who are fashion-conscious and have a budget, but want a lightweight stroller with a lot of innovative features. The iCandy Orange comes with an integrated ride-on board and a large basket. It can also be set up into a tandem with the optional risers.
It's a joy to push, with a great turning circle and soft suspension that bounces lightly over bumps. It's also easy to manoeuvre, even with a toddler in the seat, which is a good thing since it has front wheels. In pushchairs double mode, it's a bit more difficult to maneuver large curbs as the weight shifts from front to back. However this is the case for most twin buggies.
The rear wheels have been made smaller in this update to 2021, making it easier to maneuver in tight spaces like doorways and shops as well as on public transportation. However, they still feel solid and durable with tyre treads that performed well on grass and a muddy bridgeway. It's easy to fold, too - just remove a clip on the back wheels and pull two levers at the handle. It's freestanding when folded as well. There's also a mesh sunscreen for the seat and carrycot which can be popped on in seconds.
Joie Evalite Duo
The Joie Evalite Duo was designed to make travelling with two people as easy as it can be. It weighs just 10kg making it one of the lightest twin strollers on the market. It's extremely easy to move, ride, carry and load. The stroller folds flat using just one hand, and it can be set up on its own when not in use. It is also compatible with Joie's Gemm and iSnug infant seats (car seats sold separately) to create a complete travel system.
The rear seat doesn't fully recline. This is a minor flaw in an otherwise excellent double buggy. It's not possible to add a board to the buggy, however this isn't unusual for side-by-side designs.
Overall, the Evalite is a wonderful buggy that with a few tweaks could be perfect. The seats are comfortable for children of all age and it's easy to drive. The handle is cushioned so it's easier to grip and the wheels have suspension to ensure an enjoyable ride. It's also extremely robust and comes with a lot of storage space. It's also a stylish stroller, with a variety of striking colors.
