The Best Double Buggy Strollers

These cars also come with features such as large sun canopies and transparent hoods, as well as adjustable seats.
1. Baby Jogger City Tour 2 Double
The City Tour 2 Double is the smallest double stroller in the Baby Jogger range. It was designed specifically for travel, and can fit through standard doors easily due to its slim and compact design. It's also among the lightest double buggies you can find that weighs just 14lbs when folded. It's ideal for travel with a newborn and toddler as you won’t exceed airline luggage allowances. It can also be folded up to the size of an incredibly small travel bag making it easy to store in the back seat of your car.
The one-handed, Z-shape fold is easy, it's incredibly compact when you get the hang of it. It can take a couple of only a few seconds to unfold. Our test subject found the auto-lock somewhat confusing, and since the handlebar doesn't lock into the position you push it into and it landed on her leg when she was using it. She also thought that the handlebar was on the shorter side. This is particularly true when a large change bag hangs from it.
The double stroller isn't as light as other buggies. It has a full array of features and is one the most versatile double strollers on the market. It's compatible with two carry cots (available separately) It also has multiple recline positions and a UV 50+ canopy. You can also add the bassinet to one or both seats to make this an all-in-one travel system.
The four rubber composite wheels are perfect for pavements and urban terrain however they're not made for off-roading. They slid with long grass and gravel and there's not much clearance between the wheel and the bracket so mud got stuck easily. However our testers still enjoyed using this buggy and it did get up to some pretty hilly terrains.
2. iCandy Orange

The seats are very comfortable and have a sculpted look. The seats can also be adjusted, so they can be positioned according to the needs of siblings. iCandy have introduced the first ever "cinema" seating concept that allows parents to maintain eye contact with both children. They can be moved so that they face either the parent or the world.
It's a heavier tandem buggy, but it's incredibly easy to operate and steer, especially on smooth roads. It feels stable in both double and single modes and even on sloping ground. It's not as easy to drive on public transport, however, because it requires more than one hand to grip the handlebar. It's also quite bulky and won't fit into the standard car boot for families with the seat on, but this is a problem that can be overcome with some careful planning. iCandy has included an infant footmuff, a changing bag and car seat adapters included in the price, making this an excellent value bundle for new parents.

The adjustable height handle and rear wheel suspension ensure a comfortable ride for kids up to 22kg. The tough pneumatic tyres, that are easy to clean, provide a smooth ride when jogging. The 360 swivel front wheel can be locked to facilitate moving around town, and the one pedal brake that locks easily is simple to use.
Our testers noted that the Nipper Double was incredibly easy to maneuver, even moving off on uneven ground or turning swiftly in an area with a lot of traffic. They were also impressed by the fact that both seats recline independently, which means they can be adjusted to fit your individual preferences - perfect for napping.
The hoods were also easy to adjust for wind or sun protection. They didn't provide the same coverage as Baby Jogger City Mini Hoods. It's probably worth carrying an additional rain cover in the case.
Overall, our test participants loved the way the Nipper Double made it possible for them to take their twin girls Sydney and Lyla on all sorts of adventures, from spotting wildlife in the woods to rushing to the park for a quick playdate. twin pushchair were also impressed by how cosy and spacious the two seats are, with plenty of space for toddlers growing to sprawl out in. The lack of parent-facing seating and the inability of using a car seat on this buggy were both noted as a disadvantage by our test participants. They would have liked to see a larger storage space for shopping and other equipment.
