10 Lightweight Double Buggy Meetups You Should Attend
A Lightweight Double Buggy For Families With Twins Or Closer Together
A double buggy is a great option when you have twins, or two children with similar age. They are wider and have more seating options than single strollers.
However, they don't necessarily need to be bulky or heavy. Some are small and fold flat, making them easier to move in tight spaces, or to climb and descend stairs.
Leclerc Influencer
The stroller is compact and weighs just 6.6 kg and has an auto-folding mechanism that can be operated in only a few seconds. It can be used as early as birth with the bassinet that is available (sold separately), and is cabin-approved to be used in overhead bins when flying - although it's always best to inquire with your airline as regulations are different. Jane the mother of two who is our test subject, states that the Influencer Air is super-easy to push and offers good stability. She also appreciates that the sun canopy is adjustable providing adequate coverage for taller children, and the stroller comes with an integrated cup holder for travel. You can buy extra accessories like a transparent cover for rain and an Teddy Footmuff, which combines a warm teddy-sherpa lining to a water-resistant outer fabric in colder conditions.
The Leclerc Baby Influencer XL blows its competitors out of the water with its striking design, stunning colors and beautifully constructed fabric and frame materials. Its one-touch folding mechanism lets it be folded and unfurled in only 1.5 seconds. This makes it perfect for daily use and long-distance trips. It's also supplied with bags for travel to make it easier when you're packing it for the car, 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 who are style-conscious and have a budget but need a light stroller with lots of innovative features. It comes with an innovative integrated ride-on board, an extremely spacious basket and car seat adapters. It can also be arranged to form a tandem using the risers available.
It's easy to push, with a great turning circle and a soft suspension that bounces lightly over bumps. It's also easy to maneuver, even with a toddler in the seat over the front wheels. It's more difficult to negotiate large curbs as the weight shifts to the front when used in double mode, but this is true for the majority of twin buggies.
The back wheels have been made slightly smaller in this 2021 update which makes it easier to navigate narrow spaces such as doors and shops and on public transportation. However, they still feel sturdy and robust with tyre treads which performed well on muddy and grassy bridgeway. It's also easy to fold - releasing clips on the back wheels and pulling two levers on the handle, you can pop it up in seconds. It's self-standing when folded, as well. There's also a sun screen for the seat and carrycot that can be popped on in a matter of seconds.
Joie Evalite Duo
The Joie Evalite Duo was designed to make travelling with two people as easy as it can be. It weighs just 10kg making it one of the lightest twin Stroller strollers on the market. It's extremely easy to drive, ride or load and lift. The stroller can fold in one hand, and it can stand on its own. It's also compatible with Joie's Gemm and iSnug baby seats (car seats sold separately) to create a complete travel system.
The only downside is that the rear seat doesn't fully recline, but that's a minor flaw for an otherwise fantastic double to single buggy buggy. You can't add an extra board to the buggy, however this is not uncommon for side-by-side designs.
Overall, the Evalite is a lovely buggy that with some small adjustments could be perfect. The seats are comfortable for children of all age and it's easy to drive. The handle is cushioned so it's easier to grip and the wheels have suspension to ensure an enjoyable ride. It is also very durable, and has lots of storage space. It's also a stylish pushchair, with a range of appealing colour options.
Baby Jogger City Mini
The Baby Jogger City Mini is a stroller with a lot of features in an extremely compact frame. It was specifically designed for parents who want to travel comfortably and stylishly with their children.

The large storage basket is able to hold two shopping bags. The seats are padded, and recline to an almost flat position. This is great for napping. However the leg support isn't adjustable and might cause dangling legs. The City Mini GT2 is available in various colors and comes with a variety of accessories, including UV 50 canopies and magnetic peekaboo windows.
Baby Jogger City Select
The Baby Jogger City Select stroller is a versatile dream that can fit up to three kids with the addition of a gliderboard.

It has a fantastic canopy that offers plenty of coverage and is a breeze to adjust to different heights of heads. It's higher than its competitors, so it might not be suitable for parents with shorter strides, but is still a great option for those who have longer strides. The front wheels are able to lock or rotate, which is great to steer on uneven terrain.
This stroller has one flaw It is that it doesn't fold as compactly as other models in this guide. The second seat must be removed to fold the stroller, which can be a problem if need to store it in a car or closet. It is one of the largest storage bins in our rankings so it is an excellent option for those seeking a light nipper double buggy-stroller for their family.
Baby Jogger City Elite
The Baby Jogger City Elite nipper double buggy stroller is a fantastic choice if you are looking for a light, high-quality stroller. It's a jogger with modern comfort and luxury over any terrain.

The City Elite isn’t cheap, but it comes with a fantastic cost of resales and is designed to last through many adventures with your kids. It's a great choice for parents who want to spend time together in nature or for long runs without hiring a babysitter.
The new City Mini GT2 is similar to the original, but it has a soft and more rougher material. It has an ergonomic handlebar that is better and easier to maneuver. The canopy is extended further, providing real shade and a peekaboo. One of the most appealing features is that it can fold using just one hand. This is an excellent feature for a busy parent who has to quickly adjust your stroller 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 a giant clamp for holding the seat belt. The arm requires only a little force to close and can easily be closed by one hand. It is especially suitable for grandparents or parents with arthritis or weak physical strength. It's a great option for those who prefer to install seatbelts and do not need LATCH.

The FAA has granted it approval for both international and domestic travel. It can be positioned without the base using either standard belt routing or European route (the seatbelt should go through the lap portion, not through the shoulders). You can also put it in the car seat with a lockoff and lower anchors.
