A Lightweight Double Buggy For Families With Twins Or Closer Together
A double stroller is a great option if you have twins, or two children with similar ages. They offer more seating configurations and are typically bigger than single strollers.
But, they don't need to be bulky or heavy. Some have narrow designs and fold flat to make it more compact for fitting into tight places or to climb to move up and down steps.
Leclerc Influencer
Weighing just 6.6 kg the stroller is light and compact, with a clever auto-folding mechanism that takes only minutes to operate. It can be used from birth with the bassinet option (sold separately) and is also approved by the cabin for use in overhead bins when flying - although it's always best to check with your airline as regulations are different. Jane the mother of two who is our test subject, says that the Influencer Air is incredibly easy to push and provides good stability. She also appreciates that the sun canopy is adjustable, offering good coverage for taller children and that the stroller comes with a travel cup holder. There are additional accessories available, such as a transparent rain cover and Teddy Footmuff which combines a cozy teddy sherpa lining and a waterproof outer fabric for colder weather.

It is easy to push thanks to its excellent turning circle and the suspension bounces over bumps. It's also simple to move around, even if toddlers are in the seat above the front wheels. It's a bit more difficult to get over large curbs because the weight shifts forward when in double mode, however this is true for the majority of twin buggies.

The tyres are robust and have treads that can withstand grass and mud. It's simple to fold, too. Just release a clip near the back wheels and pull two levers on the handle.

It also works with Joie's Gemm and iSnug infant seat (car seats are sold separately) to create an entire travel system.
The only downside is that the rear seat doesn't fully recline, but that's a minor flaw for an otherwise great double buggy. There is no way to add an extra board to the buggy, however this isn't uncommon for side-byside designs.
Overall overall, the Evalite buggy is an exquisite buggy that can be made even better with just a few tweaks. It's light to drive and the seats are comfortable for children of all ages. The handle is padded so it's more comfortable to hold and the wheels are equipped with suspension to ensure an enjoyable ride. It is also very robust and comes with lots of storage space.
