The Best Double Buggy Strollers
If you're expecting twins, or have two young children of different age groups, then a double buggy can help you out and about. The best ones are simple to maneuver and handle rough surfaces and kerbs.
double infant strollers have features such as large sun canopies with hoods that can be seen through and seats that are adjustable.
1. Baby Jogger City Tour 2 Double
The City Tour 2 Double stroller is the smallest model in the Baby Jogger range. It is designed for travel, and fits through standard doors easily due to its narrow and slim design. It's also one the lightest double buggies on the market that weighs just 14lbs when folded. It's ideal for travel with a toddler and infant as you won’t exceed the allowances for luggage on airlines. It also folds to the size of a travel bag so you can tuck it away in the back of your car when not being used.
The one-handed Z-shape fold is easy and is extremely compact once you've mastered it. It can take a couple of minutes to fold. Our test subject found the auto-lock somewhat confusing, and because the handlebar doesn't lock into place when you push it and it landed on her leg when she used it. She also thought the handlebar was on the shorter side. This is especially the case when a large change bag hangs from it.
In contrast to other travel buggies that are lightweight that aren't loaded with features. It's one of the most feature-packed double strollers available. It can be used with two carrycots (available separately), features multiple recline positions, and has a UV 50+ canopy. You can even add an additional bassinet to one or both seats, and turn it into a travel system.
The four tires made of rubber are ideal for pavements and urban terrain. However, they were not designed for off-roading. They had trouble with long grass and gravel and there wasn't enough clearance between the wheel bracket and the wheel which meant that mud could get stuck easily. That being said our tester was still enthralled riding this buggy, and it did climb some pretty dirt hills.
iCandy Orange
The iCandy Orange double buggy is the most stylish, versatile and quality. It is a must-have for parents who want a stylish high-end double buggy that lasts. The Orange has an elegant, lightweight, streamlined frame with a large basket that easily fits two car seats. It has a luxurious, removable water repellent as well as a airy canopy with mesh ventilation. It comes in trendy colours - Pistachio, Fossil, Latte and Rose on an Jet Black frame. There's also the option of a built-in ride on the board for older siblings to take part in the fun.
The 2021 update includes a few changes that improve manoeuvrability as well as an even better, larger shopping basket that has been redesigned with a bumper bar and leatherette cover. The seats are very comfortable and have a moulded appearance. The seats can also be adjusted and can be placed according to the needs of siblings. iCandy have introduced the first ever "cinema" seating concept that allows parents to maintain eye contact with both children. They can also be adjusted to face either the parent or the towards the world.
It's a heavier tandem buggy, but it's extremely easy to use and steer, especially on smooth pavements. It is stable in double and single mode, and also on sloping ground. It's not as easy to drive on public transport, however, as it requires more than one hand on the handlebar. It's also quite heavy and will not fit in a standard family car boot with the seat on, however this can be overcome by cautious planning. iCandy has included the footmuff and changing bag in the cost, so it's a great value package for new parents.
3. Joie Evalite Duo
This is a lightweight tandem stroller. It has two non-reversible seats, suitable for babies up to about 3 years old. The rear seat can also accommodate car seats.
It has an easy and simple to use folding mechanism that makes it convenient for travel and storage. It also comes with a large basket that is ideal to store all of your baby's or toddler's essentials.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a ideal double buggy for newbies because it is a great value for money and is simple to move. It is also extremely lightweight and easy to push across long distances. It also comes with a top-quality suspension system, which guarantees a smooth ride for both parents and kids.
This is an elegant and practical city buggy that can be used for twins or a baby with a toddler or even three kids with the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack board (sold separately). Its sleek frame and compact dimensions make it ideal for shopping malls and crowded city streets. Its swivel front wheel and four-wheel suspension allow it to cope with slightly rough or uneven terrain.
Another great feature is that this buggy can fit a car seat in the back making it a great choice for families that plan to travel. It features a secure one-click fold and works with a wide range of Joie infant car seats. It comes with a large basket, and comfortable seats for kids. The only drawback is that the front seat cannot recline fully, which may be a concern for small infants. However, it's a great option for families who are seeking a cheap and lightweight stroller.
4. Cybex Gazelle S
This is the stroller you require for twins if you're expecting. It's the first travel system made by Cybex and comes with built-in adaptors which make it easy to transform a single pushchair into a double. The adaptors on the upper end can slide upwards and downwards to accommodate your height whilst the lower ones can be twisted around and flipped over which makes it a breeze to change from one configuration to another. The Gazelle's seat unit also can recline into flat position. It also comes with an extensive UV 50+ sun shade that is essential for your kids.
This is the modern multi-purpose stroller that is able to adapt to your family's needs. It can be used from the time of birth as a mono-pushchair. It can be used from four years as double pushchair with the addition of a CLOUD Z iSize car seat or a second seat unit or Gazelle Cot. The new one-pull safety harness allows you to easily ensure your child's safety even when you're wearing your child on your back.
The Gazelle S is unlike most double strollers because it folds down compactly with both seats tucked away. This makes it simple to store at home, or even in your trunk. A large lower basket can hold up to 25lbs. of shopping, everyday necessities or food items. A detachable shopper's basket offers an additional space. A one-pull harness, huge recline, and useful features like the shopping basket that can be removed this is a remarkably flexible and comfortable stroller for families. It also comes with wheels that are puncture-proof, so you don't have to worry about sudden flat tubes on your adventures away from home.
5. Nipper Double V5
The Nipper Double V5 from Out 'n' About is a new version of the award-winning all-terrain buggie. It's made for siblings or twins, and features independent reclined seats, compatibility carrycots and a light frame that allows for easy maneuvering on bumpy terrain.
The height-adjustable handle and rear wheel suspension provide the most comfortable ride for children up to 22kg. The durable pneumatic tyres, which are easy to clean, offer a smooth ride when jogging. The 360-swivel front wheel can be locked in place to make it easier to maneuver around town, and the one pedal easy-lock brake is simple to use.
Our testers noted that the Nipper Double was incredibly easy to maneuver, even when moving on uneven ground or turning quickly in the middle of a busy street. The possibility that the seats could be reclined independently was an enormous hit.
The hoods were also simple to adjust for sun or wind protection. They didn't offer the same amount of coverage as the Baby Jogger City Mini Hoods. It's probably worth having an extra rain cover in case.
Overall, our testers were impressed with the way Nipper Double let them to take their twin girls Sydney and Lyla on a variety of adventures, from spotting wildlife in the woods to running to the park for a playdate. They were also amazed by how cozy and spacious the two seats are with plenty of space for growing toddlers to sprawl out in. The absence of parent-facing seating and the inability of using a car seat on this buggy were both noted as a problem by our test participants. They would have preferred a larger storage space to store shopping items and other accessories.
