1. Baby Jogger City Tour 2 Double

The City Tour 2 double stroller with bassinet (click for info) stroller is the smallest model in the Baby Jogger range. It's designed for travel and easily fits through doors with its narrow design, it's also one of the most light double buggies available on the market weighing just 14lbs when folded. It's ideal for travel with a newborn and toddler as you won’t over-exceed airline baggage allowances.

It's simple to fold the Z-shape with one hand. Once you get used to it, it's small and takes only a few minutes. Our tester found the auto lock a bit confusing, and since the handlebar does not lock into the position you push it into to the side, it struck her leg when she was using it. The handlebar was a little too short particularly with a large changing bag hanging off of it.

The double stroller isn't as light as other travel buggies. It's got a broad array of features and is among the most versatile double pushchair with car seat strollers available on the market. It is compatible with two carrycots (available separately), features various recline positions, and an UV 50+ canopy. You can also add a bassinet to one or both seats to transform 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 on long grass and gravel and there's a lack of clearance between the bracket and the wheel, so mud got stuck easily. That being said, our tester still loved the buggy and did climb some pretty muddy hills.

They were also awed by the fact that both seats recline independently, meaning they can be adjusted to meet your individual preferences - perfect for napping.

They also loved the fact that the hoods could be moved back and forward and back, making them much easier to adjust in the sun or for wind protection. They didn't offer the same amount of coverage as the Baby Jogger City Mini Hoods. It's probably worth having an extra rain cover in case.

They would have wanted a bigger storage area for shopping and other gear.
