10 Tell-Tale Warning Signs You Need To Find A New Lightweight Double Buggy
A Lightweight Double Buggy For Families With Twins Or Closer Together
A double stroller is a great choice if you have twins or two children of similar ages. They offer more seating configurations and are generally wider than single strollers.
They don't need to be heavy or bulky. Some come with narrow designs and fold flat to make them more compact for fitting into tight spots or going up and down steps.

This stroller is lightweight at 6.6 kg and comes with an auto-folding mechanism that can be operated in only a few minutes. It can be used from birth with the optional bassinet (sold separately), and is cabin-approved for use in overhead bins on flights - although it's always recommended to consult with your airline as regulations are different. Jane, our mum of two testers, stated that the Influencer Air was easy to push and offered good stability. She also loves that the sun canopy can be adjusted to provide good coverage for taller kids and comes with a travel-cup holder. You can buy extra accessories such as a transparent cover for rain and an Teddy Footmuff, which combines a warm teddy-sherpa lining to an outer fabric that can withstand water in colder conditions.

It is easy to push due to its good turning circle, and the suspension bounces over bumps. It's also simple to maneuver even with a toddler in the seat over the front wheels. In double mode it's somewhat more difficult to negotiate large curbs, as the weight shifts in front. However this is the case with most twin buggies.
