The Best Double Buggy Strollers
If you're expecting twins, or have two young children of various ages then a double buggy can help you get out and out and. The best ones are easy to maneuver and deal with rough surfaces and kerbs.
These cars also come with features like large sun canopy and transparent hoods, as well as adjustable seats.
1. Baby Jogger City Tour Double
The City Tour 2 Double stroller is the smallest model in the Baby Jogger range. It's designed for travel and easily fits through normal doors thanks to its slim design. It's also one of the lightest double buggies that are available, weighing only 14lbs when folded. This makes it ideal for flying with a toddler and newborn because you won't have to exceed the allowances for luggage on airlines. It also folds to the size of a travel bag so that you can put it away in the back of your car when not in use.
It's easy to fold the Z-shape with one hand. Once you get used to it, it is small and takes only a few seconds. However, our tester found the auto lock to be a bit confusing. Also, since the handlebar isn't locked to its place when you press it, it landed on her legs when she was using it. She also thought the handlebar was on the short side. This is particularly true when a large changing bag is hanging from it.
As opposed to other light travel buggies it doesn't sacrifice features and is one of the most feature-packed double strollers available. It's compatible with two carry cots (available separately), features multiple recline positions as well as a UV 50+ canopy. You can also add a bassinet to one or both seats, and turn this into a travel system.
The four rubber composite tires are great for pavements as well as urban terrain. However, they are not made for off-roading. They struggled with gravel and long grass and there was not enough clearance between the wheel bracket and wheel which meant that mud could get stuck easily. Our tester loved this buggy, and it was able to climb beautiful dirt hills.
iCandy Orange
The iCandy Orange double buggy is the ultimate in style, versatility and quality. It is a must for parents who want cutting edge design and quality. It is also stylish and lasts. The Orange is a stylish, lightweight, streamlined frame with an enormous basket that can easily accommodate two car seats. It has a gorgeous, removable canopy that is both water-resistant and breathable. It comes in trendy colours such as Pistachio on a Jet Black Frame, Fossil on a Jet Black Frame, and Rose. The option to add a built-in ride for older siblings is also available.
The 2021 update includes some changes, including improved manoeuvrability and an even better, larger shopping basket that has been redesigned with a bumper bar and leatherette cover. The seats have a moulded feel and are really comfortable. They are also adjustable, so they can be placed according to the needs of siblings. iCandy have introduced the first ever "cinema" seating concept that allows parents to keep eye contact with their children. They can be repositioned so that they face the parent or the world.
It's a heavier buggie in tandem, but it's a breeze to drive and use particularly on smooth roads. It is stable in both single and double mode and even on sloping terrain. It's not as easy to drive on public transport, however, because it requires more than one hand on the handlebar. It's also a little bulky and won't fit into a standard family car boot with the seat in place, however this can be overcome by careful planning. iCandy has included the footmuff, changing bag and car seat adapters included in the price so this is an excellent value bundle for parents who are new.

This buggy is also ideal for families that plan to travel, as it can accommodate a car seat in the back. It features a secure one-click fold, and is compatible with a wide range of Joie infant car seats. It has a large basket, and comfortable seats for kids.

4. Cybex Gazelle S
This is the stroller you need for twins if you're expecting. It's the Cybex first travel system and it has built-in adaptors that make it easy to transform from one stroller to a double. The upper adaptors can easily slide up and down to suit your height, while the lower ones can be turned around and flipped over making it easy to change from one configuration to another. The Gazelle's seat units recline into a pretty flat position and have an extended UV 50+ sun canopy which is a must for your little ones.
This is the future-ready, multi-purpose stroller that can adapt to your family's needs. It's suitable from the time of birth as a mono-pushchair. It can be used after four years, it can be a double pushchair with the addition of a CLOUD Z iSize car seat, a second seat unit or Gazelle Cot.

5. Nipper Double V5
The Nipper Double V5 from Out 'n' About is a new version of the award-winning all-terrain buggy. It's designed for siblings or twins, and features independent reclined seats, compatibility carrycots and a light frame that allows for easy maneuvering on uneven terrain.
The height-adjustable handle and rear wheel suspension provide a comfortable ride for kids up to 22kg. The sturdy pneumatic tyres that are easy to clean, give a smooth ride while running. The 360-swivel front wheel can be locked into place for easier manoeuvring around the city, and the single pedal easy-lock brake is simple to use.
Our testers found the Nipper Double was incredibly easy to manoeuvre, even when walking on uneven ground or turning swiftly in a busy street. The possibility that the seats could be reclined independently was also hugely appreciated.
They also liked that the hoods could be moved forward and back making them easy to adjust to the sun or for wind protection. Our test subjects did notice however that they did not provide the same amount of coverage as something like the Baby Jogger City Mini hoods and it's worth packing a rain cover just in case.
Overall, our test participants were impressed with the Nipper double's ability let them take their twin daughters Sydney and Lyla to all kinds of adventures. From seeing wildlife in the forest or rushing to a park for a playdate they were thrilled. The testers were also impressed by how spacious and comfortable the two seats are. There is plenty of room to stretch out for toddlers who are growing. The absence of parent-facing seating and the inability to use a car seat in this buggy were cited as a drawback by our test participants. They would have also wanted a bigger storage area for shopping and other equipment.
