The Best Double Buggy Strollers

If you're expecting twins or two children of different age groups, a double buggy can help you get out and about. The best ones are simple to maneuver and can handle rough surfaces and kerbs.

These vehicles also come with features such as large sun canopies and see-through hoods, as well adjustable seats.

1. Baby Jogger City Tour Double

The City Tour 2 Double Stroller double is the smallest of the Baby Jogger range. It's designed to travel and fits through doors that are standard with its slim and compact design. It's also among the lightest cheap double buggy buggies you can find weighing only 14lb when folded. It's perfect for trips with a newborn and toddler as you won’t over-exceed airline baggage allowances. It also folds up to the size of a backpack so you can tuck it away in the back of your car when not when you're not using it.

The one-handed, Z-shape folding is a breeze and it's extremely compact once you master it. It can take a couple of minutes to fold. However, our tester found the auto lock a bit confusing and as the handlebar wasn't locked to its place when you press it, it struck her legs when she was using it. She also felt that the handlebar was a bit on the short side particularly with a large changing bag hanging off it.

In contrast to other travel buggies that are lightweight that aren't loaded with features and is among the most feature-packed double strollers on the market. It is compatible with two carrycots (available separately), features various recline positions, and a UV 50+ canopy. You can put the bassinet to either or both seats to create an all-in-one travel system.

The four rubber composite wheels are perfect for pavements and urban terrain however they're not made for off-roading. They slid on long grass and gravel, and there isn't much clearance between the wheel and the bracket so mud got stuck easily. Our tester loved this buggy and was able to climb pretty dirt hills.

2. iCandy Orange

The iCandy Orange is a premium double buggy that is the best in style and versatility. It is a must-have for parents looking for a stylish high-end double stroller with infant car seat buggy that will last. The Orange is a stylish frame that is lightweight and sleek with an enormous basket that easily fits two car seats. It has a gorgeous, removable canopy that is both water-resistant and breathable. It comes in trendy colours such as Pistachio, Fossil, Latte and Rose on an Jet Black frame. The option to add a built-in ride to older siblings is also available.

This 2021 update has a few changes that improve manoeuvrability as well as an even larger, better shopping basket with a re-designed bumper bar and leatherette cover. The seats are very comfortable and have a moulded look. The seats can also be adjusted which means they can be positioned according to the needs of siblings. iCandy have included the first ever 'cinema' seating system that allows parents to maintain eye contact with their children. They can be adjusted so that they face either the parent or the world.

It's a heavier buggie in tandem, but it's a breeze to use and drive particularly on smooth roads. It is stable in double and single mode, and can be used on sloped ground. It's not as simple to use on public transport because it requires two hands on the handlebar. It is also bulky 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 the footmuff and changing bag with the price, making this a great value package for new parents.

3. Joie Evalite Duo

This is a light tandem stroller. It comes with two non-reversible seats, suitable for children from birth up to 3 years of age. The rear seat can also be used to accommodate the car seat.

This buggy is also ideal for families who plan to travel, as it can accommodate a car seat in the back. It has an easy-to-fold system that is compatible with a variety of Joie infant car seats. It has a large basket, as well as comfortable seats for kids. The only downside is that the front seat isn't able to recline completely, which could be a problem for young infants.

4. Cybex Gazelle S

If you're expecting twins, this is the stroller for you. It's the first travel system made by Cybex and has built-in adaptors that allow you to transform one pushchair to a double. The upper adaptors are able to slide up and down to match your height whilst the lower ones can be twisted around and turned over which makes it a breeze to switch from one configuration to another. The Gazelle's seat units recline to a flat position and come with an extended large UV 50+ sun canopy that is essential for children.

Suitable from birth as a mono pushchair and from 4 years old as a double when you add the of the CLOUD Z i-Size car seat, an additional seat unit or Gazelle Cot, this is the stroller that is future-proof that adapts to your family. The new safety harness with one-pull makes it easy to ensure your child's safety even when you're wearing your baby on your back.

It is specifically designed for twins or siblings, and comes with recliner chairs that are independent, compatible with carrycots, as well as an ultra-light frame that allows for easy maneuverability on bumpy terrain.

The adjustable height handle and rear wheel suspension provide the comfort of children who weigh up to 22kg. the hard-wearing pneumatic tyres are easy to clean and give a smooth ride when jogging. The 360 swivel front wheel can be locked for easier manoeuvring around the city, and the single pedal easy-lock brake is simple to use.

Our test participants found that the Nipper Double is incredibly easy to maneuver, even on uneven terrain or when turning in a busy road. They were also amazed 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.

The hoods were also easy to adjust for wind or sun protection. Our testers did discover, however, that they didn't offer an extensive amount of coverage as something like the Baby Jogger City Mini hoods, so it might be recommended to bring a rain jacket to be prepared in the event of.

Overall, our test participants were impressed with the Nipper double's ability allow them to take their twin pushchair daughters Sydney and Lyla to all sorts of adventures. From spotting wildlife in a forest to rushing to the park for a playdate they were thrilled. Our testers were also amazed by how spacious and comfortable the two seats are. There's plenty of room for growing toddlers. The lack of parent-facing seating and the inability of using a car seat on this buggy were both noted as a disadvantage by our testers. They would have also preferred a larger storage area to store shopping items and other accessories.
