Other side-by-side models such as the Joie Evalite Duo are also incredibly lightweight and have a smaller footprint so they're easily able to be inserted into doors and on public transport and often you can put them away with the seats still attached. They require more effort to push over kerbs, and they aren't ideal for uneven surfaces.
