1. Baby Jogger City Tour Double
The City Tour 2 Double stroller is the smallest of the Baby Jogger range. It is designed for travel, and can fit through doors that are standard with its narrow and slim design. It's also one the lightest double buggies on the market weighing only 14lb when folded. This makes it perfect for traveling with a toddler and newborn because you won't have to exceed airline luggage allowances. It also folds to the size of a travel bag so that you can put it away in the back of your car when it's not when you're not using it.
It's simple to fold the Z-shape with one hand. Once you're used to it, it's small and takes only a few seconds. However our tester found the auto lock a little confusing. As the handlebar wasn't locked to its place when you press it, it struck her legs when she used it. She also thought that the handlebar was on the short side. This is especially true when a large bag for changing is hanging from it.
This double stroller isn't as lightweight as other travel buggies. It has a full array of features and is among the most versatile double strollers on the market. lightweight double buggy is compatible with two carrycots (available separately), features several recline positions and has a UV 50+ canopy. You can even add a bassinet to one or both seats, and turn this into a travel system.
The four wheels made of rubber are ideal for pavements as well as urban terrain however, they're not designed for off-roading - they struggled with long grass and gravel, and there isn't much clearance between the wheel and the bracket which means that mud could get stuck easily. But our tester was still enthralled riding this buggy, and it did manage to climb some beautiful dirt hills.

It's a heavier tandem buggie but it's a breeze to operate and drive, especially on smooth pavements. It's stable in double and single mode and even on sloping ground. It's not as easy to drive on public transport, however, as it requires more than one hand to grip the handlebar. It is also bulky and won't fit in the standard car boot with the seat attached, but this can be overcome with careful planning. iCandy has included the footmuff, changing bag and car seat adapters included in the price so this is an excellent value package for new parents.

Our testers noted that the Nipper Double was incredibly easy to maneuver, even taking on uneven ground or when turning swiftly in an area with a lot of traffic. The fact that the seats can be reclined independently was an enormous hit.
The hoods were also easy to adjust for sun or wind protection. Our testers did find, however, that they didn't provide an enormous amount of coverage as similar to the Baby Jogger City Mini hoods, so it might be recommended to bring a rain jacket in case of need.
Overall, our test participants loved the way that Nipper Double let them to take their twins Sydney and Lyla on a variety of adventures, from spotting wildlife in the woods, to running to the park for a quick playdate. The testers were also impressed by how comfortable and spacious the two seats are. There's plenty of room for growing toddlers. The lack of parent facing seating and the inability to use car seat on this buggy were both noted as a disadvantage by our test participants. They would have also wanted a bigger storage space for shopping and other equipment.
