A Lightweight Double Buggy For Families With Twins Or Closer Together
If you have twins or two children close in age, a double buggy can be a game-changer. They are a lot wider and offer more seating options than single strollers.
However, they don't necessarily have to be bulky or heavy. Some are slim and fold flat to make it easier to squeeze into tight places or to climb up and down the stairs.
Leclerc Influencer
At just 6.6 kg the stroller is extremely light and compact, featuring a clever auto-folding mechanism that takes only minutes to operate. It can be used from birth using the bassinet that is available (sold separately) and is approved by the cabin to be used in overhead bins during flights - although it's always best to inquire with your airline as regulations can differ. Jane is our mother of two testers, said the Influencer Air was easy to push and offered adequate stability. She also loves that the sun canopy can be adjusted to give adequate coverage for taller kids, and that it has a cup holder for a travel cup. You can also purchase additional accessories, such as a transparent rain cover and Teddy Footmuff which combines a comfortable teddy sherpa liner with a waterproof outer fabric for colder temperatures.
The Leclerc Baby Influencer XL blows the competition out of the water with its eye-catching design, stunning colours and well-constructed fabric and frame materials. Its one-touch, super-fast folding mechanism lets it fold and unfurl in just 1.5 seconds. This makes it ideal for everyday use as well as longer trips. It comes with a travel bag to make it easier. You can pack it in your car or on a train or in the overhead compartment on the plane.
iCandy Orange
The iCandy Orange is a great option for parents with cash to spend who want a compact buggy with plenty of unique useful features. It comes with an innovative integrated ride-on board, a large basket, and car seat adapters. It can also be set up to form a tandem using the risers available.
It's a joy to push, with a great turning circle and a soft suspension that bounces gently over bumps. It's also simple to maneuver, even when a toddler is in the seat above the front wheels. It's a little tougher to negotiate large curbs as the weight shifts forward when in sit n stand double stroller mode, however this is true for the majority of twin buggies.
The back wheels have been made slightly smaller in this update to 2021, making it easier to maneuver in tight spaces such as the entrances to shops and doors as well as on public transport. The tyres are robust and have treads that can withstand mud and grass. It's also a breeze to fold by releasing clips on the back wheels and pulling two levers on the handle opens it up in a matter of seconds. It's freestanding when folded, as well. There's also a mesh sunscreen for the seat and carrycot that can be put on in a matter of seconds.
Joie Evalite Duo
The Joie Evalite Duo is a fun and cheerful combo that was engineered and designed to make travelling with two children as simple as it can be. It's one of the lightest twin-strollers on the market and is simple to transport, ride and load. The pushchair folds flat seamlessly with just one hand and then stands up on its own when not in use. It's also compatible with Joie Gemm and i-Snug baby car seats (car seat sold separately) to make a complete travel system.
A drawback is that the rear seat isn't fully reclined however, it's a minor flaw for an otherwise fantastic double buggy. It's not possible to add an additional board to the buggy, but this isn't uncommon for side-byside designs.
Overall, the Evalite is a wonderful buggy that with some small tweaks could be perfect. It's easy to drive and the seats are very comfortable for children of all different ages. The handle is cushioned to allow it to be more comfortable to hold, and the wheels are suspended to guarantee the smoothest ride. It's also very sturdy and has a decent amount of storage space, especially when you attach the shopping basket. It's also a stylish pushchair with a range of striking colours.
Baby Jogger City Mini
The Baby Jogger City Mini stroller is a compact stroller that comes with many features. It was designed for parents looking to move around in style and comfort with their children.

Baby Jogger City Select
The Baby Jogger City Select stroller is a versatile dream that can accommodate up to three children with the inclusion of a glider board. It can attach infant car seats or a bassinet as well as standard stroller seats in 24 different configurations. It also has an exclusive double rear-facing option. This is a top-rated double buggy for people who are looking for a sturdy all-terrain stroller with plenty of seating options.
It comes with a great canopy that provides ample coverage and is easy to adjust to different heights of heads. It's a bit higher than most of its competitors, so it may not be suitable for parents who have shorter strides, but is still a good choice for those with more strides. The front wheels can be used to lock or rotate, which is great to steer on uneven terrain.
The only downside to this stroller is that it does not fold as compactly as some of the other models in our list. It can only be folded with the second seat removed, which can be a problem if you want to store it into your car or a closet. It does, however, have one of the largest storage bins in our rankings, so it should still be a suitable choice for most people who need a compact double tandem pushchair stroller for their family.
Baby Jogger City Elite
The Baby Jogger City Elite double pram buggy stroller is a fantastic choice if you are looking for a light, high-quality stroller. It's a jogger that offers modern comfort and luxury over any terrain.

It can fit through standard doors and comes with a parking brake that can be operated by hand. It also works with car seats adapters, making it easy to transform this stroller into an entire travel system.
The City Elite isn't cheap double pushchair, however, it has a high return value and is designed to withstand many adventures with your kids. It's a good choice for parents who want to spend time outdoors as a family or to go on long runs without hiring a babysitter.
The new City Mini GT2 is similar to the first model, but it has a soft and more smooth material. It has a better, more ergonomic handlebar and is more maneuverable. The canopy is extended further, providing real shade as well as an opportunity to peek at. One of the most appealing features is that it can be folded using just one hand. This is an excellent feature if you're a busy parent who has to adjust your stroller quickly when you're on the move.
Graco SnugRide SnugLock
The Graco SnugRide SnugLock infant car seat is rear-facing only and comes with the base. It has an SnugLock arm, which is an enormous clamp that holds the seat belt. It is easily closed using just one hand, and requires little force to close. It is particularly suitable for parents and grandparents who suffer from arthritis or weak physical strength. It's a great option for those who prefer to use seatbelts, but do not want LATCH.
This model has a wide range of user features including a non-rethread harness and a silent canopy. It can also be transformed into a highchair, and comes with a one-handed handle adjustment. The SnugRide SnugLock DLX is a bit narrow at 17 inches, making it a great option for three-wheeled vehicles. It also has an axle that reduces rotation and absorbs the force of a crash.
It is FAA certified for domestic and international travel. It can be positioned without the base by using either standard belt routing or European route (the seatbelt should be routed through the lap portion and not the shoulders). It can also be installed in the car seat with a lockoff and lower anchors.
