A Lightweight Double Buggy For Families With Twins Or Closer Together
If you have twins or two kids similar in age, a double stroller could be a game changer. They are larger and offer more seating options than single strollers.
However, they don't need to be bulky or heavy. Some have narrow designs and fold flat, making them more compact for fitting into tight places or to climb up and down stairs.
Leclerc Influencer
This stroller is lightweight at 6.6 kg and features an auto-folding mechanism which can be operated in a matter of minutes. It can be used from birth using the bassinet option (sold separately) and is also approved by the cabin for use in overhead bins on flights - although it's always best to inquire with your airline's guidelines as they can differ. Jane, our mum-of-two test subject, states that the Influencer Air is incredibly easy to push and provides excellent stability. She also likes that the sun canopy can be adjusted to provide adequate coverage for taller kids and comes with a travel-cup holder. You can also purchase extra accessories like a transparent cover for rain and an Teddy Footmuff, which combines the warmth of a teddy-sherpa with an outer fabric that is water-resistant in colder weather.
