A Lightweight Double Buggy For Families With Twins Or Closer Together
A double buggy is a great choice if you have twins, or two children of similar age. They offer more seating configurations and are generally larger than single strollers.
They don't have to be heavy or bulky. Some are small and fold flat, making them easier to move through tight spaces or to climb and descend stairs.

It's a joy to push, with a good turning circle and soft suspension that bounces gently over bumps. It is also easy to move around, even if children are sitting on the front wheels. In double mode it's a bit more difficult to maneuver large curbs as the weight shifts from front to back. However this is the case for the majority of twin buggy buggies.

Overall overall, the Evalite is a great buggy that, with a few adjustments could be perfect. It's lightweight to drive and the seats are very comfortable for children of all age groups. The handle is cushioned to make it easier to grip, and the wheels are suspended to ensure a smooth ride.
