The Best Double Buggy Strollers
A double buggy is ideal when you are expecting twins, or if you have two children of different ages. The ideal double buggy is easy to maneuver and is able to handle rough surfaces.
These cars also come with features such as large sun canopies and transparent hoods, and adjustable seats.
1. Baby Jogger City Tour 2 double buggy for twins
The City Tour 2 Double is the smallest double stroller in the Baby Jogger range. It's designed to travel and easily fits through most normal doors thanks to its slim design, it's also one of the most lightweight double buggies that are available, weighing only 14lb when folded. It's perfect for traveling with a toddler and infant because you won't be able to over-exceed airline baggage allowances. It can also be folded to the size of a small double buggy travel bag, making it easy to store in the back of your car.
The one-handed, Z-shape folding is easy to fold and it's extremely compact once you've mastered it. It takes a few seconds to unfold. However, our tester found the auto lock to be a bit confusing. Also, since the handlebar doesn't lock into place when you press it, it hit her legs when she was using it. She also thought the handlebar was on the short side. This is especially true when a large change bag is hanging from it.
Unlike other lightweight travel buggies, this doesn't skimp on features and is one of the most full-featured double strollers that are available. It's compatible with two carry cots (available separately), has multiple recline positions and an UV 50+ canopy. You can put the bassinet to one or both seats to make this a travel system.
The four composite wheels made of rubber are ideal for pavements as well as urban terrain, but they're not built for off-roading. They slid with long grass and gravel and there's a lack of clearance between the bracket and the wheel, so mud was able to get stuck easily. Our testers loved this buggy, and it was able to climb some beautiful muddy hills.
2. iCandy Orange
The iCandy Orange stokke double Stroller buggy is the ultimate in style, versatility and quality. It is a must-have for parents who want cutting edge design quality, style and quality that lasts. The Orange has a gorgeous sleek, lightweight chassis that has a massive basket that easily fits two car seats. It has a luxurious, interchangeable water repellent and ventilated canopy with mesh ventilation. It comes in trend-led colours such as Pistachio, Fossil, Latte and Rose on an Jet Black frame. The option of adding a built-in ride for an older sibling is also available.
This 2021 update has few improvements, including improved maneuverability, a larger basket, and a new bumper bar that has a leatherette cover. The seats are very comfortable and have a sculpted look. They're also adjustable, so they can be set to suit the needs of siblings. iCandy has included the first-ever "cinema seating" design that allows parents to maintain eye contact with their children. They can also be adjusted to face either parent or to face the world.
It's a heavier buggie in tandem, but it's easy to operate and drive especially on smooth pavements. It's stable in double and single mode and even on sloping terrain. It's not as simple to use on public transport as it requires two hands on the handlebar. It's also a bit bulky and won't fit into a standard family car boot with the seat attached but this is a problem that can be overcome by thoughtful planning. iCandy includes a footmuff and changing bag included in the price, so this is a great value package for parents who are just starting out.
3. Joie Evalite Duo
This is a lightweight tandem stroller. It has two non reversible seats, which are suitable for babies until around 3 years old. The rear seat can also accommodate car seats.
It comes with an easy and simple to use folding mechanism that makes it ideal for storage and travel. It also comes with a huge basket that is ideal to store your baby and toddler's essentials.
The Joie Evalite Duo double buggy is a fantastic choice for beginners, as it is affordable and easy to operate. It is also extremely lightweight and easy to push over long distances. It also has a premium suspension system that guarantees an easy ride for both kids and parents.
This stylish and practical city stroller can be used by twins, a toddler and one or two children by adding UPPAbaby's ‘PiggyBack’ board (sold separately). Its sleek frame and compact dimensions make it ideal for shopping malls and narrow streets in cities. Its swivel front wheels and four-wheel suspension allows it to handle rough or uneven terrain.
Another benefit is that this buggy can fit a car seat in the back This makes it ideal for families who plan on traveling. It has a secure one-click fold and is compatible with a variety of Joie infant car seats. It has a spacious basket, and comfortable seats for children. The only drawback is that the front seat can't recline completely, which could be a problem for babies. It's a great choice to consider if you're searching for a light and inexpensive stroller.
4. Cybex Gazelle S
This is the stroller you need for twins if you're expecting. It's the Cybex first travel system and it has built-in adaptors that allow you to transform from one stroller to a double. The adaptors on the upper end can slide up and down to match your height whilst the lower ones can be turned around and rotated which makes it a breeze to change from one configuration to another. The Gazelle's seat units also recline to a flat position and have an extended, large UV 50+ sun canopy, which is essential for children.
Suitable from birth as a mono pushchair double and from 4 years old as double travel stroller, with the addition 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 one-pull harness makes securing your child an easy and simple process, especially when you're carrying the baby on your back!
Contrary to other double strollers the Gazelle S folds compactly with both seats connected, making it easy to squeeze into the storage space at home or in your trunk. A large lower basket can hold up to 25 lbs. of shopping, everyday essentials, or food items. A detachable basket for shopper's provides additional space. This stroller is extremely flexible and family-friendly thanks to its single-pull harness and large recline. It also comes with puncture-proof tires so you do not have to worry about flat tires during your trips.
5. Nipper Double V5
The Nipper Double V5 from Out 'n' About is an updated version of the award-winning all terrain double buggy-terrain buggie. It's made for siblings or twins, and features independent reclining seats, compatibility with carrycots, and a light frame for hassle-free manoeuvring on uneven terrain.
The adjustable height handle and rear wheel suspension offer a comfortable ride for kids up to 22kg. The tough pneumatic tyres, that are easy to clean, give a smooth ride while running. The 360 swivel wheel on the front can be locked for easier manoeuvring around the city, and the single pedal easy-lock brake is simple to use.
Our testers noted that the Nipper Double was incredibly easy to maneuver, even moving on uneven ground or turning quickly in the middle of a busy street. The possibility that the seats could be reclined independently was also hugely appreciated.
The hoods were also easy to adjust for sun or wind protection. They did not offer as much coverage as the Baby Jogger City Mini Hoods. It's probably worth having an extra rain cover inside the case.
Overall, our testers were impressed with the Nipper double's capacity to allow them to take their twin daughters Sydney and Lyla to all sorts of adventures. From spotting wildlife in a forest to rushing to the park to play with their friends they were thrilled. They were also amazed by how comfortable and spacious the two seats are, with plenty of space for toddlers to stretch out in. The lack of parent facing seating and the inability to use car seats in this buggy were cited as a problem by our testers. They would have wanted a bigger storage space for shopping and other equipment.
