These vehicles also have features like large sun canopy 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 was designed specifically for travel, and can fit through standard doors easily due to its slim and compact design. It’s also one the lightest double buggies on the market weighing only 14lb when folded. It’s perfect for traveling with a toddler and infant since you won’t exceed the allowances for luggage on airlines.

The one-handed, Z-shape fold is easy and it’s extremely compact once you get the hang of it. It can take a couple of seconds to unfold. However our tester discovered the auto lock to be a little confusing. As the handlebar wasn’t locked into place when you press it, it struck her legs when she was using it. She also believed that the handlebar was on the shorter side. This is particularly true when a large bag for changing is hanging from it.
Unlike other lightweight travel buggies it doesn’t sacrifice features and is one of the most comprehensive double strollers available. It can be used with two carrycots (available separately) It also has multiple recline positions, and has a UV 50+ canopy. You can put the bassinet to either or both seats to make it an ideal travel system.
The four rubber composite wheels are perfect for pavements and urban terrain, but they’re not built for off-roading – they struggled on long grass and gravel, and there isn’t much clearance between the wheel and the bracket so mud was able to get stuck easily. That being said our tester was still enthralled using this buggy and it did get up to some beautiful hilly terrains.

It’s not as simple to use on public transport because it requires two hands to hold the handlebar. It is also bulky and won’t fit in a standard car boot without the seat in place, but this can be overcome with careful planning. iCandy have included the footmuff, changing bag and car seat adapters in the price, so it’s an excellent value package for new parents.

The 360-degree swivel wheel can be locked to help you maneuver around the town. The one-pedal, easy lock brake is also simple to use.
Our testers noted that the Nipper Double was incredibly easy to maneuver, even when walking on uneven ground or turning quickly in a busy street. They were also awed by the fact that both seats recline independently, which means they can be adjusted to fit the individual’s needs. This is ideal for napping.
They also appreciated that the hoods were able to be moved back and forward, which made them easier to adjust in the sun or to provide wind protection. Our testers did discover, however, that they didn’t provide an enormous amount of coverage as something like the Baby Jogger City Mini hoods which is why it’s worthwhile to pack a rain cover just in case.
Overall, our testers were impressed with the Nipper double’s ability allow them to take their twin daughters Sydney and Lyla to all sorts of adventures. From seeing wildlife in the forest or rushing to a park to play with their friends they were thrilled. The testers were also awed by how spacious and comfortable the two seats are. There is plenty of room for toddlers who are growing. Our testers did note, however, that the lack of parent-facing seating and the inability to use car seats in the buggy was a disadvantage, and they would have liked to have more storage space for shopping and other equipment.
