The Best Double Buggy Strollers
If you’re expecting twins, or have two children of different age groups, a double buggy will help you get out and out and. The ideal double buggy is simple to maneuver and is able to handle rough surfaces.
They also come with features like large sun canopies as well as hoods that are transparent and seats that are adjustable.
1. Baby Jogger City Tour Double
The City Tour 2 Double stroller is the smallest of the Baby Jogger range. It’s designed for travel and easily fits through the majority of standard doorways with its ultra-narrow design. It’s also one of the most lightweight double buggies that are available, weighing only 14lb when folded. It’s perfect for traveling with a newborn and toddler as you won’t exceed the allowances for luggage on airlines. It can also be folded up to the size of the size of a small travel bag making it easy to store in the back of your car.
The one-handed, Z-shape fold is easy and it’s extremely compact once you’ve mastered it. It can take a couple of seconds to unfold. Our tester found the auto lock a little confusing, and because the handlebar doesn’t lock in its position when you push it to the side, it struck her leg when she tried to use it. The handlebar was a bit too short, especially with a big changing bag hanging from it.
The double stroller isn’t as light as other buggies. It comes with a wide variety of features, and is one the most versatile double strollers available on the market. It’s compatible with two carry cots (available separately) and has multiple recline positions and an UV 50+ canopy. You can also add an additional bassinet to one or both seats to transform it into a travel system.
The four tires made of rubber are great for pavements as well as urban terrain. However, they are not designed for off-roading. They had trouble with gravel and long grass and there was not enough clearance between the wheel bracket and wheel, so mud stuck easily. Our tester loved this buggy, and it was able to climb some beautiful muddy hills.
2. iCandy Orange
The iCandy Orange double buggy is the ultimate in style, versatility and quality. It is an essential item for parents who want a stylish, high-quality double buggy that lasts.

The seats are extremely comfortable and feature a moulded appearance. They’re also adjustable so that they can be placed to meet the needs of siblings. iCandy is the first to introduce a “cinema seating” design that allows parents to maintain eye contact with their children. They can also be repositioned to face either parent or to face the world.
It’s a heavier buggie in tandem, but it’s easy to use and drive, especially on smooth pavements. It’s stable in single and double mode and even on sloping ground. It’s not as simple to drive on public transport, however, as it requires more than one hand on the handlebar. It’s also large and can’t be stuffed into a standard car boot with the seat on, however this can be overcome by careful planning. iCandy has included an infant footmuff and a changing bag with the cost, so it’s an excellent value for parents who are just starting out.

The 360-degree swivel wheel is able to be locked in place to help you maneuver around town. The one-pedal easy lock brake is also simple to use.
Our test participants found that the Nipper Double is incredibly easy to navigate, even on bumpy terrain or when turning in a busy road. The feature that the seats can be reclined independently was a big hit.
The hoods were also easy to adjust for wind or sun protection. They did not offer as much coverage as the Baby Jogger City Mini Hoods. It might be worth packing an additional rain cover in the case.
Overall, our testers were impressed with the way Nipper Double let them to take their twins Sydney and Lyla on all sorts of adventures, from spotting wildlife in the woods to rushing to the park for a playdate. They were also impressed by how cozy and spacious the two seats are with plenty of room for growing toddlers to play in. The lack of parent facing seating and the inability to use car seats with this buggy were noted as a drawback by our test participants. They would have wanted a bigger storage area for shopping and other gear.
