A Lightweight Double Buggy For Families With Twins Or Closer Together
If you have twins or two children similar in age, a double stroller can be a game-changer. They are wider and have more seating options than single strollers.
They don't have to be heavy or bulky. Some are slim and fold flat to make it easier to squeeze into tight spaces or to go going up and down stairs.
Leclerc Influencer
With a weight of just 6.6 kg the stroller is light and compact, featuring an intelligent auto-fold mechanism that takes just seconds to operate. The bassinet is available separately and can be used from the time of birth. It's cabin-approved to fit into overhead bins on flights. Jane the mother of two who is our test subject, says that the Influencer Air is extremely easy to push and offers good stability. She also loves the fact that the sun canopy can be adjusted to provide adequate coverage for taller children, and that it has a cup holder for a travel cup. You can buy extra 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.
The Leclerc Baby Influencer XL blows the competition out of the water with its striking design, stunning colours and well-constructed frame and fabric materials. Its one-touch, super-quick folding mechanism allows it to be folded and unfurled in only 1.5 seconds. This makes it ideal for daily use and extended trips.

iCandy Orange
The iCandy Orange is a great choice for parents who appreciate style and have a budget and want a light stroller with lots of cool features. The iCandy orange comes with an integrated ride-on board as well as an enormous basket. The optional risers can be used to turn it into an a tandem.
It feels easy to push, with a nice turning circle and soft suspension that bounces gently over bumps. It's also easy to maneuver even with a toddler in the seat, which is a good thing since it has 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 the case with most twin buggies.
The back wheels have been made smaller in the 2021 update which makes it easier to maneuver in tight spaces such as the entrances to shops and doors, as well as on public transportation. But, they're solid and durable with tyre treads that coped well on muddy grass and a muddy road. It's also a breeze to fold by releasing an attachment on the back wheels and pulling two levers on the handle, you can pop it up in seconds. When folded, it stands on its own. A mesh sun screen is also available for the seat and carrycot. It can be attached in a matter of seconds.

The rear seat does not fully recline. But, this is a minor issue in an otherwise excellent double buggy . Another disadvantage is that you aren't able to add a buggy board, but it's not uncommon in side-byside designs.
Overall, the Evalite is a great buggy that with some small tweaks could be perfect. It's lightweight to drive and the seats are comfortable for children of all different ages. The handle is cushioned so it's easier to grip and the wheels have suspension to ensure an easy ride. It's also extremely 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 range of striking colours.
