The Best Double Buggy Strollers
If you're expecting twins or have two young children of various ages then a double buggy can help you get out and out and. The ideal double buggy is easy to maneuver and can handle rough surfaces.
These cars also come with features like large sun canopies, as well as transparent hoods, and adjustable seats.
1. Baby Jogger City Tour Double
The City Tour 2 Double is the smallest double stroller in the Baby Jogger range. It's designed for travel, and can fit through doors that are standard with its ultra-narrow shape. It's also one the lightest double buggies on the market that weighs just 14lbs when folded. This makes it perfect for flying with a newborn and a toddler since you won't exceed the luggage allowances of airlines. It can also be folded into the size of the size of a small travel bag which means you can put it in the back seat of your car.
It's easy to fold the Z-shape using one hand. Once you're used to it, it is compact and only takes seconds. Our test subject found the auto-lock a little confusing, and since the handlebar doesn't lock into its position when you push it to the side, it struck her leg when she used it. The handlebar was a bit too short particularly with a large changing bag hanging off of it.
Unlike other lightweight travel buggies that aren't loaded with features and is among the most compact double stroller feature-packed double strollers available. It is compatible with two carrycots (available separately) It also has several recline positions and comes with a UV 50+ canopy. You can also add a bassinet to one or both seats and transform this into a travel system.
The four composite wheels made of rubber are ideal for pavements and urban terrain, but they're not built for off-roading. They struggled with long grass and gravel, and there isn't much clearance between the wheel and the bracket which means that mud could get stuck easily. Our tester loved this buggy, and it was able to climb pretty hillocks that were muddy.
iCandy Orange
The iCandy Orange is a premium double buggy that is a top choice in design and versatility. It is a must for parents who demand cutting edge design and quality. It is also stylish and lasts. The Orange has a gorgeous sleek, lightweight chassis that has a massive basket that can easily fit two car seats. It has a luscious interchangeable water repellent and ventilated canopy with mesh ventilation. It comes in trend-led colours - Pistachio, Fossil, Latte and Rose on a Jet Black frame. There's also the possibility of a built-in ride on board for older sibling to join in the fun.
The 2021 update includes several changes, that improve manoeuvrability as well as an even larger, better shopping basket with a new bumper bar and leatherette cover. The seats are extremely comfortable and have a moulded look. They're also adjustable so they can be set to suit siblings' needs. iCandy have introduced the first ever 'cinema' seating concept that allows parents to maintain eye contact with both children. They can also be repositioned to face either parent or world facing.
It's a heavier tandem buggie but it's a breeze to use and drive especially on smooth pavements. It is stable in both double and single and double stroller modes and even on sloping ground. It's not as easy to drive on public transport, however, because it requires more than one hand to grip the handlebar. It's also a bit bulky and won't fit into the standard car boot for families with the seat in place, but this is a problem that can be overcome with some cautious planning. iCandy have included the footmuff, changing bag and car seat adapters included in the price so this is an excellent value for parents who are new.
3. Joie Evalite Duo
This is an ultra-lightweight tandem stroller. It comes with two seats that are not reversible that are ideal for infants to around 3 years old, and it can fit a car seat in the rear.
It features an easy-to use folding mechanism that makes it convenient for storage and travel. It also comes with a large basket that is ideal to store everything your baby's and toddler's essentials.
The Joie Evalite Duo double buggy is a great option for newbies, as it is both affordable and simple to operate. It is also extremely lightweight which makes it easy to push across long distances. It also comes with a top-quality suspension system, which ensures an enjoyable ride for kids and parents.
This is an elegant and practical city buggy that can be used for twins, a baby and a toddler or even three kids with the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack board (sold separately). It has a sleek frame and compact dimensions, making it suitable for narrow city streets and shopping malls. Its swivel wheels on the front and four-wheel suspension allow it to cope with slightly rough or uneven terrain.
This model is also great for families that plan to travel since it can fit a car seat in the back. It features a one-click secure fold and can be used with a wide range of Joie infant car seat. It also comes with a large basket and comfortable seats for both children. The only downside is the front seat cannot recline completely, which could be a problem for young babies. It's a great option when you're looking for a lightweight and low-cost stroller.
4. Cybex Gazelle S
This is the stroller you require if you are expecting twins. It's the Cybex first travel system, and it comes with built-in adaptors that make it simple to convert one stroller to a double. The upper adaptors can easily slide up and down to match your height while the lower ones can be twisted around and flipped over, making it really easy to switch from one configuration to another. The Gazelle's seat also reclines to a flat position. It also has a large UV 50+ sun shade that is vital for your children.
This is the modern multi-purpose stroller that is able to adapt to the needs of your family. It is suitable from birth as a mono-pushchair and up to four years old as a double pushchair with the addition of a CLOUD Z iSize car seat, a second seat unit or Gazelle Cot. The new safety harness that is one-pull makes it easy to ensure your child's safety even when you are wearing your child on your back.
The Gazelle S is different from other double strollers as it folds down compactly with the two seats firmly attached. This makes it simple to store at home or even in your trunk. The large lower basket can hold up to 25 lbs of shopping, daily essentials or groceries. A detachable shopper basket gives you more space for everything you buy. This stroller is extremely flexible and family-friendly thanks to its single-pull harness and large recline. It also has wheels that are puncture-proof, so you don't need to worry about those unexpected flat tubes on your adventures away from home.
5. Nipper Double V5
The Nipper double buggy that converts to single V5 from Out 'n' About is a new version of the award-winning all-terrain buggie. It's designed for siblings or twins and has separate reclined seats, compatibility with carrycots and a light frame that makes it easy to maneuver on uneven terrain.
The adjustable height handle and rear wheel suspension offer the most comfortable ride for children up to 22kg. The tough pneumatic tyres, that are easy to clean, also provide a smooth ride when running. The 360-degree swivel can be locked in place to make it easier to manoeuvre around the town. The one-pedal easy lock brake is also simple to use.
Our testers found that the Nipper Double is incredibly easy to navigate, even on rough terrain or when turning on a busy road. The fact that the seats can be reclined independently was a big hit.
The hoods were also easy to adjust for sun or wind protection. Our testers did discover, however, that they did not provide the same amount of coverage compared to something like the Baby Jogger City Mini hoods, so it might be worthwhile to pack a rain cover just in case.
Overall, our test participants loved the way the Nipper Double made it possible for them to take their twins Sydney and Lyla on a variety of adventures, from seeing wildlife in the woods, to rushing to the park for a quick playdate. The testers were also impressed by how comfortable and spacious the two seats are. There's plenty of room for growing toddlers. Our testers did mention that the lack of parent-facing seating and the inability of using car seats in the buggy was a disadvantage and they would like to see more storage space for shopping and other gear.
