The Best Double Buggy Strollers

A double buggy is ideal when you are expecting twins or have two children of different age groups. The best ones are simple to maneuver and deal with rough surfaces and kerbs.

These cars also come with features like large sun canopies and transparent hoods, and adjustable seats.

1. Baby Jogger City Tour 2 Double

The City Tour 2 Double is the smallest double stroller within the Baby Jogger range. It's designed for travel, and fits through standard doorways easily with its ultra-narrow shape. It's also one the lightest double buggies available that weighs just 14lbs when folded. This makes it perfect to travel with a newborn and a toddler since you won't exceed airline luggage allowances. It can also be folded into the size of a small travel bag so you can store it in the back of your car.

It's easy to fold the Z-shape with one hand. Once you're used to it, it is small and takes only a few seconds. However our tester found the auto lock a bit confusing. Also, since the handlebar isn't locked to its place when you press it, it hit her legs when she was using it. She also felt the handlebar was a little too short particularly with a large changing bag hanging off of it.

This double stroller is not as lightweight as other travel buggies. It has a full range of features, and is among the most versatile double strollers on the market. It's compatible with two carrycots (available separately) and has multiple recline positions, and an UV 50+ canopy. You can even add a bassinet to one or both seats to transform it into a travel set-up.

The four rubber composite wheels are ideal for pavements and urban terrain however they're not made for off-roading. They slid with long grass and gravel and there's a lack of space between the bracket and the wheel, so mud was able to get stuck easily. However, our tester still loved using this buggy and it did manage to climb some beautiful muddy hills.

2. iCandy Orange

The iCandy Orange is a premium double buggy that is a top choice in design and versatility. It is a must-have for parents looking for a stylish high-end double buggy that lasts.

The seats are extremely comfortable and feature a moulded look. The seats can also be adjusted which means they can be positioned according to the needs of siblings. iCandy is the first to introduce a "cinema seating" style that allows parents to maintain eye contact between both children. They can be repositioned to face either the parent or the world.

It's a heavier tandem buggy, but it's incredibly easy to operate and steer, particularly on smooth pavements. It feels stable in both double and single modes and even on sloping terrain. It's not as simple to drive on public transport, however, as it requires more than one hand on the handlebar. It's also a little heavy and will not fit in a standard car boot with the seat attached however this can be overcome with cautious planning. iCandy include an infant footmuff, a changing bag and car seat adapters in the price so this is an excellent value package for new parents.

The only downside is that the front seat isn't able to recline completely, which could be a problem for infants and babies.

The 360 swivel front wheel can be locked in place for easier manoeuvring around the city, and the single pedal brake is easy to use.

Our testers found that the Nipper Double is incredibly easy to navigate, even on bumpy terrain or when turning in an area with a lot of traffic. They were also amazed by the fact that both seats recline independently, meaning they can be adjusted to meet your individual preferences - perfect for napping.

They also loved that the hoods were able to be moved back and forward making them easy to adjust in the sun or to provide wind protection. Our test subjects did notice however that they didn't offer the same amount of coverage as similar to the Baby Jogger City Mini hoods, so it might be worth packing a rain cover to be prepared in the event of.

Overall, our testers loved the way the Nipper Double made it possible for them to take their twin girls Sydney and Lyla to all sorts of adventures, from seeing wildlife in the woods, to rush to the park for a quick playdate. The testers were also awed with how spacious and comfortable the two seats are. There is plenty of room to stretch out for growing toddlers. Our testers did note that the lack of a parent-facing seating and the inability to use car seats with this buggy was a drawback and they would have liked to have seen more storage space for shopping and other gear.
