A Lightweight Double Buggy For Families With Twins Or Closer Together
If you have twins or two kids similar in age, a double stroller can be a game-changer. They are larger and offer more seating options than single strollers.
However, they don’t necessarily need to be bulky or heavy. Some come with narrow designs and fold flat to make it more compact for fitting into tight spots or to move up and down the stairs.
Leclerc Influencer
This stroller is lightweight at 6.6 kg and features an auto-folding mechanism which can be operated in only a few seconds. The bassinet is available separately and can be used from the time of birth. It’s a cabin-approved stroller that can be placed into overhead bins on flights. Jane, our mum of two testers, said the Influencer Air was easy to push and offered adequate stability. She also appreciates that the sun canopy is adjustable providing adequate coverage for taller children, and that the stroller comes with the capacity to hold a cup for travel. You can purchase additional accessories like an opaque rain cover and a Teddy Footmuff, which combines an insulated teddy-sherpa liner with a water-resistant outer fabric in colder conditions.
Leclerc’s Baby Influencer XL is an upgrade over its peers thanks to its stunning design, vibrant colours and beautifully constructed frame and fabric materials. Its one-touch, super-quick folding mechanism allows it to be folded and unfurled in only 1.5 seconds. This makes it ideal for everyday use, as well as extended trips. It’s also supplied with an easy-to-use travel bag regardless of whether you’re packing it for the car, on the train or in the overhead compartment of your plane as you fly off for a vacation.
iCandy Orange
The iCandy Orange is a great option for parents who appreciate style and have money to spend but need a light stroller with lots of innovative features. The iCandy Orange has an integrated ride-on board that can be used as a large basket. It can also be set up to form a tandem using the optional risers.
It’s easy to push thanks to its excellent turning circle and the suspension bounces over bumps. It’s also easy to manoeuvre even with a child in the seat on the front wheels. In double mode it’s slightly more difficult to navigate large curbs, as the weight shifts to the front. However this is the case with most best twin buggy buggies.
The rear wheels have been made smaller in the 2021 update, making it easier to navigate narrow spaces such as the entrances to shops and doors and on public transport. The tyres are sturdy and have treads that are able to handle mud and grass. It’s simple to fold, too – just release a clip near the back wheels and pull two levers on the handle. It’s freestanding when folded, too. 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 was designed to make travel for two people as simple as it can be. It weighs only 10kg making it one of the most lightweight twin strollers on the market, and it’s extremely easy to drive, ride and lift and load. The pushchair can be folded into a flat position with one hand, and is able to stand on its own. It’s also compatible with Joie Gemm and i-Snug infant car seats (car seat sold separately) to create a complete travel system.
The rear seat doesn’t fully recline. However, this is a minor issue in a genuinely great double buggy. Another disadvantage is that you aren’t able to add a buggy board, but that’s not uncommon in side-by-side designs.
Overall, the Evalite is a lovely buggy that, with a few adjustments could be perfect. The seats are comfortable for children of all age, and it’s simple to drive. The handle is cushioned to allow it to be more comfortable to hold, and the wheels are suspended to ensure the smoothest ride. It’s also extremely durable and offers a good amount of storage space, especially when you attach the shopping basket. It’s also a stylish pushchair, with a variety of striking colours.

It’s a bit higher than its rivals, and may not be suitable for parents with shorter strides, but is still a good choice for those who have longer strides. The front wheels can be used to lock or pivot, which is ideal for steering over rough terrain.
The only drawback to this stroller is that it doesn’t fold as compactly as the other strollers in our list. The second seat needs to be removed in order to fold the stroller, which could be a problem if want to store it in a car or in a closet. It does, however, have one of the largest storage bins we’ve seen in our rankings, so it will remain a good fit for those who require a lightweight double stroller for their family.
