A Lightweight Double Buggy For Families With Twins Or Closer Together
If you have twins or two kids close in age, a double stroller could be a game changer. They are wider and have more seating options than single strollers.
However, they don't necessarily need to be bulky or heavy. Some are slim and fold flat, making them easier to squeeze into tight spaces or to go to move up and down the stairs.

It's more difficult to navigate over steep curbs as the weight shifts to the front when it's used in double mode, however this is true of most twin buggies.

They're solid and sturdy with tyre treads which performed well on grass and a muddy bridleway. It's easy to fold too. Just release a clip near the rear 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.

It also works with Joie's Gemm and iSnug baby seats (car seats are sold separately) to create a complete travel set-up.
The rear seat isn't able to fully recline. This is a minor issue in a perfectly functioning double buggy. Another disadvantage is that you aren't able to add an extra buggy, but that's not uncommon in side-by-side designs.
Overall overall, the Evalite buggy is a beautiful buggy that could be improved upon with just a few adjustments. It's easy to drive and the seats are very comfortable for children of all age groups.
