A Lightweight Double Buggy For Families With Twins Or Closer Together
If you have twins or two kids similar in age, a double buggy could be a game changer. They can provide more seating options and are usually wider than single strollers.
They don't have to be heavy or bulky. Some come with narrow designs and fold flat to make it more compact for fitting into tight places or to climb going up and down steps.
