The Best Double Buggy Strollers
A double buggy is ideal when you are expecting twins or have two children of different age groups. The ideal double buggy is simple to maneuver and can be used on uneven surfaces.
They also come with features such as large sun canopies, see-through hoods and seats that can be adjusted.
1. Baby Jogger City Tour Double
The City Tour 2 Double stroller is the smallest of the Baby Jogger range. It was designed specifically for travel, and can fit through standard doorways easily with its slim and compact design. It’s also among the lightest double buggies on the market with a weight of just 14lbs when folded. It’s ideal for travel with a newborn and toddler because you won’t be able to over-exceed airline baggage allowances. It can also be folded to the size of the size of a small travel bag so you can store it in the back seat of your car.
The one-handed Z-shape fold is a breeze, it’s incredibly compact when you get the hang of it and takes seconds to unfold. However our tester found the auto lock to be a bit confusing and as the handlebar doesn’t lock into place when you press it, it landed on her legs when she was using it. She also thought the handlebar was on the shorter side. This is particularly true when a large bag for changing is hanging from it.
This double stroller is not as light as other travel buggies. It has a full array of features and is among the most versatile double strollers available on the market. It’s compatible with two carry cots (available separately) and features multiple recline positions as well as a UV 50+ canopy. You can also add a bassinet to one or both seats, and turn it into a travel set-up.
The four wheels made of rubber are perfect for pavements and urban terrain however they’re not made for off-roading. They struggled with long grass and gravel, and there isn’t much clearance between the wheel and bracket which means 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-have item for parents looking for a stylish and durable double buggy that lasts.

The seats can also be adjusted, so they can be set to meet the needs of siblings. iCandy has included the first-ever ‘cinema seating’ design that allows parents to keep eye contact between both children. They can be moved so that they face the parent or the world.
It’s a heavier tandem buggy but it’s very easy to use and steer, particularly on smooth pavements. It’s stable in single and double mode, and can be used on sloped terrain. It’s not as easy to use on public transport because it requires two hands to hold the handlebar. It’s also a little bulky and can’t be stuffed into a standard family car boot with the seat in place, but this is a problem that can be overcome with some thoughtful planning. iCandy include a footmuff, changing bag and car seat adapters in the price, so it’s an excellent value for new parents.

Our test participants found that the Nipper Double was incredibly easy to manoeuvre, even when walking on uneven ground or turning swiftly in a busy street. They were also amazed by the fact that both seats recline independently, meaning they can be adjusted to suit individual needs – ideal for napping.
They also loved the fact that the hoods could be moved forward and back, which made them easier to adjust to the sun or for wind protection. They didn’t offer the same amount of coverage as the Baby Jogger City Mini Hoods. It’s worth packing an extra rain cover inside the case.
