A Lightweight Double Buggy For Families With Twins Or Closer Together
A double stroller is a great option when you have twins, or two children of similar ages. They are larger and offer more seating options than single strollers.
But, they don't have to be bulky or heavy. Some are slim and fold flat, making them easy to maneuver through tight spaces or up and down stairs.

It can be used from birth with the bassinet that is available (sold separately), and is cabin-approved for use in overhead bins when flying however it is recommended to consult with your airline as regulations are different. Jane the mother of our two testers, said the Influencer Air was easy to push and provided adequate stability. She also loves the fact that the sun canopy can be adjusted to provide good coverage for taller kids and includes a cup holder for travel. You can buy extra accessories, such as a transparent cover for rain and a Teddy Footmuff, which combines an insulated teddy-sherpa liner with a water-resistant outer fabric in colder temperatures.

It is easy to push due to its good turning circle, and the suspension bounces on bumps. It is also easy to move around, even if children are in the seat over the front wheels. In double pushchair mode, it's a bit more difficult to maneuver large curbs as the weight shifts in front. However, this is true for the majority of twin buggies.
This 2021 update has made the rear wheels a bit smaller, making it easier to maneuver in tight spaces, such as doors, shops, and public transport. However, they still feel solid and sturdy with tyre treads that coped well on muddy grass and a muddy bridgeway. It's simple to fold, too - just remove a clip on the back wheels and pull two levers towards the handle. It's freestanding when folded, as well. There's also a mesh sunscreen for the seat and carrycot which can be popped onto in mere seconds.

A downside is that the back seat doesn't fully recline However, that's only one minor flaw in an otherwise excellent small double buggy buggy. Another issue is that you cannot add an extra buggy, but this isn't uncommon in side-by-side designs.
Overall overall, the Evalite is a great buggy that, with a few tweaks could become a perfect model. The seats are comfortable for children of all age and it is easy to drive. The handle is cushioned, so it's easier to grip and the wheels have suspension to ensure an enjoyable ride.
