A Lightweight Double Buggy For Families With Twins Or Closer Together
A double buggy side by side buggy is a great option when you have twins, or two children of similar age. They are larger and offer more seating options than single strollers.
However, they don't have to be bulky or heavy. Some come with narrow designs and fold flat to make them easier to fit in tight spots or up and down the stairs.
Leclerc Influencer
The stroller is compact and weighs just 6.6 kg and has an auto-folding mechanism that is operated in just seconds. The bassinet is available separately and can be used as early as the time of birth. It's cabin-approved for use into overhead bins on flights. Jane, our mum-of-two tester, says the Influencer Air is incredibly easy to push and provides excellent stability. She also loves that the sun canopy can be adjusted to provide adequate coverage for taller kids, and that it comes with a travel-cup holder. You can purchase additional accessories such as an opaque rain cover and a Teddy Footmuff, which combines the warmth of a teddy-sherpa with an outer fabric that is water-resistant in colder weather.
Leclerc's Baby Influencer is a step ahead of its rivals thanks to its stunning design, vibrant colours and beautifully constructed frame and fabric materials. Its one-touch, super-quick folding mechanism 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 comes with a travel bag to make it easy. It can be put in a bag in your car, on a train, or in the overhead compartment on an airplane.
iCandy Orange
The iCandy Orange is a great option for style-conscious parents with money to spend who want a compact buggy that has a variety of distinctive useful features. It comes with an innovative integrated ride-on board, a super large basket, and car seat adapters. The risers are optional and can be used to transform it into an a tandem.
It feels easy to push, with a great turning circle and soft suspension that bounces gently over bumps. It's also simple to maneuver, even with a toddler in the seat, which is a good thing since it has front wheels. In double mode, it's somewhat more difficult to maneuver large curbs as the weight shifts in front. However, this is true for most twin pushchair buggies.
The back wheels have been made smaller in this update to 2021 which makes it easier to maneuver through tight spaces like doors and shops as well as on public transport. However, they still feel sturdy and robust with tyre treads that performed well on muddy and grassy bridgeway. It's also simple to fold - releasing clips on the back wheels and pulling two levers on the handle pops it up in seconds. When folded, it can stand on its own. There's also a mesh sun screen for the seat and carrycot that can be popped on in a matter of seconds.
Joie Evalite Duo
The Joie Evalite Duo is a cheery combo designed and engineered to make travelling with two kids as easy as possible. It weighs only 10kg which makes it one of the most lightweight twin stroller strollers on the market. It's extremely easy to move, ride or load and lift. It can be folded flat with just one hand, and it is able to stand on its own. It's also compatible with Joie Gemm and i-Snug baby car seats (car seat sold separately) for a complete travel system.
The rear seat doesn't fully recline. But, this is a minor flaw in a genuinely great double buggy. Another issue is that you cannot add an extra buggy, but that's not uncommon in side-by-side designs.
Overall overall, the Evalite buggy is an exquisite buggy that is able to be improved upon with just a few adjustments. It's easy to drive and the seats are comfortable for children of all ages. The handle is cushioned, so it's easier to grip and the wheels come with suspension to provide an enjoyable ride. It's also very durable and offers a good amount of storage space, particularly when you connect the basket for shopping. It's also a stylish pushchair, with a wide choice of striking colours.

It has a fantastic canopy that provides ample coverage and is a breeze to adjust to different head heights. It's a bit higher than the majority of its competitors, so it might not be suitable for parents with shorter strides. However, it is still a good choice for those who have longer strides. The front wheels can be used to lock or rotate, which is great for steering on rough terrain.
The only downside to this stroller is that it can't fold as compactly as some of the other models in our guide. The second seat has to be removed to fold the stroller, which could be a challenge if you intend to keep it in a 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 light double-stroller for their family.
