9 Things Your Parents Teach 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 stroller can be a game-changer. They are larger and offer more seating options than single strollers.
They don't need to be bulky or heavy. Some are small and fold flat, making it easier to maneuver around tight spaces or up and down stairs.
Leclerc Influencer
This stroller is lightweight at 6.6 kg and features an auto-folding mechanism that can be operated in a matter of minutes. It can be used as early as birth with the bassinet option (sold separately) and is approved by the cabin for use in overhead bins during flights - although it's always best to check with your airline's guidelines as they do vary. Jane the mother of our two testers, said the Influencer Air was easy to push and provided adequate stability. She also likes that the sun canopy can be adjusted to give adequate coverage for taller kids and comes with a travel-cup holder. You can purchase extra accessories like a clear rain cover and a Teddy Footmuff which combines a cozy teddy sherpa lining and a water-resistant outer fabric for colder temperatures.
The Leclerc Baby Influencer XL blows the competition out of the water with its striking design, stunning colours and beautifully constructed fabric and frame materials. Its one-touch, super-fast folding system allows it to fold and unfurl in just 1.5 seconds. This makes it perfect for everyday use as well as long-distance 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 as you depart on vacation.
iCandy Orange
The iCandy Orange is a great option for parents with money to spend who are looking for a light buggy with plenty of unique nifty features. It comes with an innovative integrated ride-on board, a spacious basket and car seat adapters. The risers are optional and can be used to turn it into an a tandem.
It's easy to push due to its excellent turning circle and the suspension bounces on bumps. It's also simple to maneuver even with a toddler in the seat on the front wheels. In double running buggy mode, it's somewhat more difficult to negotiate big curbs, since the weight shifts to the front. However this is the case for most twin buggies.
The back wheels have been made smaller in this 2021 update which makes it easier to maneuver through tight spaces like the entrances to shops and doors and on public transport. The tyres are also very robust and have treads that can withstand mud and grass. It's simple to fold, too. Just release a clip near the rear wheels and pull two levers at the handle. When folded, it can stand on its own. There's also a sun screen 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 simple as it can be. It weighs only 10kg which makes it one of the lightest twin stroller with car seats strollers on the market, and it's extremely easy to ride, drive and lift and load. The pushchair can be folded in one hand, and it can stand on its own. It's also compatible with Joie Gemm and i-Snug baby car seats (car seat sold separately) to create an entire travel system.
The rear seat doesn't fully recline. However, this is a minor issue in a genuinely great double buggy. Another issue is that you cannot add a buggy board, but it's not uncommon in side-byside designs.
Overall all, the Evalite is a lovely buggy that with some small tweaks could become a perfect model. It's easy to drive and the seats are comfortable for children of all different ages. The handle is padded so it's easier to grip and the wheels come with suspension to ensure a smooth ride. It's also very sturdy and has a decent amount of storage space, particularly when you attach the shopping basket. It's also a stylish pushchair with a variety of eye-catching colour ways.
