The Best Double Buggy Strollers
A double buggy is the best when you are expecting twins or have two children of different age groups. The best ones are simple to maneuver and handle rough surfaces and kerbs.
These vehicles also have features such as large sun canopies and transparent hoods, and adjustable seats.
1. Baby Jogger City Tour Double
The City Tour 2 Double stroller is the smallest in the Baby Jogger range. It’s designed to travel and easily fits through the majority of standard doorways with its ultra-narrow design, it’s also one of the most light double buggies available on the market weighing just 14lbs when folded. It’s perfect for trips with a newborn and toddler as you won’t exceed airline luggage allowances. It can also be folded into the size of a small travel bag, which means you can put it in the back of your car.
The one-handed Z-shape fold is easy to fold and it’s extremely compact once you master it. It takes a few seconds to unfold. Our test subject found the auto-lock a bit difficult to understand, and also because the handlebar does not lock into place when you push it to the side by side double stroller, it struck her leg when she used it. She also felt that the handlebar was a little too short, especially with a big changing bag hanging off of it.
This double stroller is not as light as other travel buggies. It’s got a broad variety of features, and is one the most versatile double strollers on the market. It is compatible with two carrycots (available separately) It also has several recline positions and an UV 50+ canopy. You can add the bassinet to one or both seats to make this a travel system.
The four composite wheels made of rubber are perfect for pavements and urban terrain however they’re not made for off-roading. They struggled on long grass and gravel and there’s not much space between the bracket and the wheel, so mud got stuck easily. Our tester loved this buggy and was able to climb some pretty muddy hills.
2. iCandy Orange
The iCandy Orange thule double stroller buggy is the most stylish, versatile and quality. It is a must for parents who are looking for high-end design and quality. It is also stylish and lasts.

The seats have a moulded feel and are really comfortable. They’re also adjustable so they can be set to suit siblings’ needs. iCandy is the first to introduce a ‘cinema seating’ design that allows parents to maintain eye contact with both children. They can be moved to face either the parent or the world.
It’s a heavier tandem buggy but it’s extremely easy to use and steer, particularly on smooth roads. It is stable in single and double mode, and even on sloped terrain. It is not as easy to use on public transport since it requires two hands to hold the handlebar. It’s also large and can’t be stuffed into the standard car boot with the seat on, however this can be overcome with careful planning. iCandy have included an infant footmuff, a changing bag and car seat adapters in the price, so it’s an excellent value bundle for parents who are new.

The Gazelle’s seat reclines to an upright position. It also comes with an extensive UV 50+ sun shade that is vital for your children.

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 stroller with reversible Handle is incredibly easy to maneuver, even on uneven terrain or turning into a busy road. The feature that the seats can be reclined independently was also an enormous hit.
They also liked that the hoods could be moved forward and back making them easy to adjust in the sun or to provide wind protection. They didn’t provide the same coverage as Baby Jogger City Mini Hoods. It might be worth having an extra rain cover in case.
Overall, our testers were impressed with the way the Nipper Double allowed them to take their twins Sydney and Lyla to all sorts of adventures, from seeing wildlife in the woods, to rush to the park for a playdate. They were also awed by how cosy and spacious the two seats are, with plenty of room for toddlers to stretch out in. The lack of parent-facing seating and the inability of using a car seat in this buggy were cited as a problem by our test participants. They would have also liked to see a larger storage area for shopping and other gear.
