A Lightweight Double Buggy For Families With Twins Or Closer Together
If you have twins or two children similar in age, a double buggy can be a game-changer. They can provide more seating options and are generally bigger than single strollers.
But, they don't have to be bulky or heavy. Some are slim and fold flat to make them easier to squeeze into tight spaces or to go going up and down steps.
Leclerc Influencer
This compact stroller weighs only 6.6 kg and features an auto-folding mechanism that is operated in only a few minutes. The bassinet is available separately and can be used as early as birth. It's cabin-approved to fit into overhead bins on flights. Jane is our mother of two test subject, states that the Influencer Air is super-easy to push and offers good stability. She also likes the fact that the sun canopy can be adjusted providing adequate coverage for taller children, and the stroller comes with the capacity to hold a cup for travel. You can also purchase additional accessories, such as a transparent rain cover and a Teddy Footmuff which combines a comfortable teddy sherpa liner with a water-resistant outer fabric to keep you warm in colder weather.
The Leclerc Baby Influencer XL blows the competition out of the water with its striking design, stunning colours and exquisitely constructed frame and fabric materials. Its ultra-fast folding system that is one-touch means it can be folded and unfolded in 1.5 seconds which makes it perfect for daily use or long trips. It includes a travel case to make it easier. It can be put in a bag in your car or on a train or in the overhead compartment on a plane.
iCandy Orange
The iCandy Orange is a great option for parents with a budget who want a compact buggy that comes with a wide range of nifty features. The iCandy Orange has an integrated ride-on board and a large basket. The risers are optional and can be used to convert it into the form of a tandem.
It's easy to push, with a great turning circle and soft suspension that bounces lightly over bumps. It's also simple to maneuver even with a child in the seat, which is a good thing since it has front wheels. In double mode it's slightly more difficult to navigate large curbs, as the weight shifts to the front. However, this is true for most twin buggies.
The rear wheels have been made slightly smaller in the 2021 update which makes it easier to maneuver in narrow spaces such as doorways and shops, as well as on public transportation. They're solid and durable with tyre treads which performed well on grass and a muddy road. It's also easy to fold - simply releasing a clip by the back wheels and pulling two levers on the handle pops it open in a matter of seconds. When folded, it can stand on its own. There's also a sun screen for the seat and carrycot that can be put on in a matter of seconds.
Joie Evalite Duo
The Joie Evalite Duo was designed to make travel for two people as simple as it can be. It is one of the lightest twin strollers on the market and is easy to ride, drive and load. The pushchair folds flat seamlessly with one hand and stands up on its own when not in use. It also works with Joie's Gemm and iSnug baby seats (car seats are sold separately) to create a complete travel set-up.
The rear seat isn't able to fully recline. This is a minor flaw in an otherwise excellent double buggy. It's not possible to add an additional board to the buggy, but this is not uncommon for side-byside designs.
Overall overall, the Evalite buggy is a beautiful buggy that can be made even better with just a few tweaks. The seats are comfortable for children of any age, and it's simple to drive. The handle is padded making it easier to grip and the wheels have suspension to ensure an easy ride. It's also extremely robust and comes with plenty of storage space. It is also a stylish stroller with a variety of attractive colors.

It's a top-rated double stroller for people who need a variety of seating options and a sturdy, all-terrain stroller.
It has a great canopy that offers plenty of coverage that can be easily adjusted to different head heights. The handlebar is a bit higher than the majority of the competition, so it may not be suitable for parents with shorter heights however it's an excellent option for those with longer strides. The front wheels are able to swivel or lock, which is a great feature for navigating through difficult terrain.
The only downside to this stroller is that it doesn't fold like the other strollers we have in our guide. The second seat has to be removed in order to fold the stroller, which can be a challenge if you need to store it in your vehicle or closet. It has one of the biggest storage bins among our top picks, so it's still a good choice for those who are looking for a lightweight double-stroller for their family.

Graco SnugRide SnugLock
The Graco SnugRide SnugLock infant car seat is rear-facing only and includes a base. It comes with an exclusive SnugLock arm that is basically an enormous clamp that holds the seatbelt in place. The arm can be closed easily with just one hand and requires little force to close. It is particularly suitable for parents or grandparents with arthritis or limited physical strength. It's also a great choice for those who don't wish to use LATCH and prefer seatbelts.

The SnugRide SnugLock DLX is narrow at 17 inches, making it an ideal choice for three across vehicles. It also comes with a load-leg that minimizes rotation while absorbing the force of a crash.
It is FAA approved for both international and domestic travel. It can be fitted without the base by using the standard belt routing or European routing (the seatbelt must be routed through the lap area and not through the shoulder section). It is also possible to install the carrier inside the vehicle seat with the lower anchors or lockoff.
