10 Signs To Watch For To Get A New Lightweight Double Buggy
A Lightweight Double Buggy For Families With Twins Or Closer Together
If you have twins or two kids similar in age, a double stroller could be a game changer. They are a lot wider and offer more seating options than single to double stroller strollers.
However, they don't have to be bulky or heavy. Some are narrow and fold flat, making them easy to move through tight spaces or up and down the stairs.
Leclerc Influencer
This stroller is lightweight at 6.6 kg and has an auto-folding mechanism which can be operated in a matter of minutes. It can be used as early as birth with the bassinet option (sold separately) and is also approved by the cabin for use in overhead bins during flights but it's best to inquire with your airline as regulations do vary. Jane the mother of two who is our test subject, states that the Influencer Air is super-easy to push and provides excellent stability. She also appreciates that the sun canopy can be adjusted and provides adequate coverage for taller children and that the stroller has an integrated cup holder for travel. You can also purchase extra accessories, such as a transparent rain cover and an Teddy Footmuff, which combines a warm teddy-sherpa lining to an outer fabric that is water-resistant in colder weather.
Leclerc's Baby Impactcer XL is a step above its rivals thanks to its stunning design, vibrant colors and well-constructed frame and fabric materials. Its one-touch, super-fast folding system allows it to fold and unfurl in just 1.5 seconds. This makes it perfect for daily use and long-distance trips. It comes with a travel bag for convenience, whether you're packing it in the car or on the train, or in the overhead compartment of your plane when you fly off for a vacation.
iCandy Orange
The iCandy Orange is a great option for parents with cash to spend who are looking for a light buggy with plenty of unique cool features. This includes an ingenious ride-on board, a spacious basket and car seat adapters. It can also be configured into a tandem with the risers available.
It is easy to push due to its good turning circle, and the suspension bounces off bumps. It's also easy to manoeuvre even with a child in the seat, which is a good thing since it has front wheels. It's a bit more difficult to get over large curbs as the weight shifts to the front when it's used in double mode, however this is true of most twin buggies.
The back wheels have been made slightly smaller in this 2021 update, making it easier to navigate tight spaces such as the entrances to shops and doors as well as on public transportation. They're solid and durable with tyre treads that coped well on muddy 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. When folded, it can stand on its own. A mesh sun screen is also available for the carrycot and seat. It can be attached within a matter of minutes.
Joie Evalite Duo
The Joie Evalite Duo is a fun and cheerful combo that was engineered and designed to make traveling with two children as simple as it can be. It weighs in at just 10kg making it one of the most lightweight twin strollers on the market. It's super easy to move, ride, load and lift. It 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) for the complete travel system.
The only downside is that the back seat does not fully recline, but that's not a major issue for an otherwise great double infant stroller buggy. Another disadvantage is that you aren't able to add a buggy board, however this isn't uncommon in side-by-side designs.
Overall all, the Evalite is a wonderful buggy that, with a few tweaks could be perfect. It's light to drive and the seats are very comfortable for children of all age groups. The handle is padded to allow it to be more comfortable to hold, and the wheels are suspended to guarantee a smooth ride. It's also extremely durable, and has a lot of storage space. It's also a stylish pushchair, with a wide choice of eye-catching colour ways.

The City Mini is compact and easy to fold. It can be tucked away in most doorways. The City Mini has an adjustable handlebar, and the parking brake is operated by hand. The large storage basket is able to hold two shopping bags. The seats are cushioned, and recline to a nearly flat position. This is great for naps. Leg support isn't adjustable and could cause legs to hang.

Baby Jogger City Select
The Baby Jogger City Select is a stroller with a variety of configurations that can accommodate one, two or- with a glider board (sold separately) -- three kids. It can be connected to infant car seats as well as a bassinet, and standard stroller seats in 24 different configurations, and it also has a unique double rear-facing feature. It's a top rated double Buggy with car seat stroller for those who require a wide range of seating options as well as an all-terrain, durable buggy.
It has a fantastic canopy that provides plenty of coverage and is a breeze to adjust to different heights of heads. It's a bit higher than its competitors, so it might not be suitable for parents who have shorter strides, but is still a good choice for those who have longer strides. The front wheels can swivel or lock, which is great for steering through tough terrain.
The only downside to this stroller is that it can't fold as compactly as some of the other strollers in our list. The second seat needs to be removed in order to fold the stroller, which can be a challenge if you intend to keep it in a vehicle or in a closet. It does have one of the largest storage bins in our rankings, so it will remain a good fit for most people who need a lightweight double stroller for their children.

The Baby Jogger City Elite double stroller is an excellent option if you're looking for a light, premium stroller. It's a jogger that provides modern comfort and luxury over any terrain.

This is a great option for parents who want to be able to spend time outdoors with their children or take on long runs together without hiring a babysitter.
The new City Mini GT2 is similar to the original model, but it has a soft and more textured material. It has an ergonomic handlebar that is better and more maneuverable. The canopy is extended further, providing real shade and a peekaboo view. It folds with just one hand. This is a fantastic feature if you're a busy parent who needs to change the size of your stroller quickly when you're on the move.
Graco SnugRide SnugLock
The Graco SnugRide SnugLock is a rear facing only infant car seat that comes with an base. It comes with a SnugLock arm, which acts as an enormous clamp that holds the seatbelt. This arm can be easily closed with only one hand and requires only a little force to close. It is particularly suitable for parents and grandparents who suffer from arthritis or limited physical strength. It's also a great option for those who don't want to use LATCH and prefer seatbelts.
This model has a range of features, including a silent canopy and a harness with no rethread. It also has a one hand handle adjustment and can be converted to an elevated chair. The SnugRide SnugLock DLX has narrow width of just 17 inches and is therefore a good option for vehicles with three rows. It also has a load-leg that reduces the rotation while absorbing the impact forces.
The FAA has approved it for both the domestic and international travel. It can be used without the base by using the standard belt routing or European routing (the seatbelt has to be routed through the lap area and not through the shoulder section). You can also install the carrier in the vehicle seat using the lower anchors or lockoff.
