1. Baby Jogger City Tour Double
The City Tour 2 Double is the smallest double stroller in the Baby Jogger range. It was designed specifically for travel, and can fit through doors that are standard with its ultra-narrow shape. It's also one the lightest double stroller with infant car seat buggies available with a weight of just 14lbs when folded. This makes it perfect to travel with a baby and toddler since you won't exceed airline luggage allowances. It folds down to the size of a travel bag so that you can put it away in the back of your car when it's not in use.
The one-handed Z-shape fold is easy to fold, it's incredibly compact when you master it. It takes a few seconds to unfold. 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 the handlebar was a bit too short, especially with a big changing bag hanging off of it.
This double stroller is not as light as other buggies. It comes with a wide range of features, and is one 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 put a bassinet on either or both seats to create an ideal travel system.
The four rubber composite wheels are perfect for pavements and urban terrain, but they're not built for off-roading. They slid on long grass and gravel and there's not much space between the wheel and the bracket which means that mud could get stuck easily. Our tester loved this buggy and was able to climb pretty hillocks that were muddy.

Our testers found that the Nipper Double is incredibly easy to navigate, even on rough terrain or when turning on a busy road. They were also impressed by the fact that both seats recline independently, meaning they can be adjusted to meet the individual's needs. This is ideal for napping.
The hoods were also easy to adjust for sun or wind protection. They didn't offer as much coverage as the Baby Jogger City Mini Hoods. It's probably worth packing an extra rain cover inside the case.
