5 Laws That Can Benefit The Lightweight Double Buggy Industry
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 have to be bulky or heavy. Some are slim and fold flat, making them easier to move through tight spaces or to climb and descend steps.

It is easy to push due to its excellent turning circle and the suspension bounces off bumps. It is also easy to maneuver, even when children are sitting on the front wheels. It's a little tougher to get over large curbs because the weight shifts to the front when used in double mode, but this is true of most twin buggies.
