Do Not Believe In These "Trends" Concerning Lightweight Double Buggy
A Lightweight Double Buggy For Families With Twins Or Closer Together
If you have twins or two children close in age, a double buggy can be a game-changer. They are larger and offer more seating options than single strollers.
They don't need to be heavy or bulky. Some are slim and fold flat to make it easier to fit in tight spots or up and down the stairs.
