Why We Why We Best Double Buggy (And You Should, Too!)

The Best Double Buggy Strollers

A double stroller with bassinet buggy is perfect when you are expecting twins or have two children of different age groups. The best ones are simple to manoeuvre and deal with rough surfaces and kerbs.

They also come with features like large sun canopies with hoods that can be seen through and adjustable seats.

1. Baby Jogger City Tour Double

The City Tour 2 Double is the smallest double stroller within the Baby Jogger range. It's designed to travel and easily fits through standard doorways with its ultra-narrow design, it's also one of the lightest double buggies on the market, weighing just 14lb when folded. This makes it perfect for traveling with a toddler and newborn since you won't exceed the allowances for luggage on airlines. It can also be folded up into an incredibly small travel bag so you can store it in the back of your car.

The one-handed, Z-shape fold is a breeze, it's incredibly compact when you've mastered it. It can take a couple of seconds to unfold. However, our tester discovered the auto lock to be a little confusing. As the handlebar isn't locked to its place when you press it, it landed on her legs when she was using it. She also thought that the handlebar was on the shorter side. This is particularly true when a large changing bag hangs from it.

This double stroller isn't as light as other travel buggies. It's got a broad range of features, and is one the most versatile double strollers available on the market. It's compatible with two carry cots (available separately) It also offers multiple recline positions, and an UV 50+ canopy. You can put a bassinet on one or both seats to make this an ideal travel system.

The four tires made of rubber are ideal for pavements and urban terrain. However, they are not made for off-roading. They had trouble with gravel and long grass and there wasn't enough clearance between the wheel bracket and wheel which meant that mud could get stuck easily. That being said our testers still enjoyed the buggy and did manage to climb some pretty muddy hills.

iCandy Orange

The iCandy Orange is a premium double buggy that is the best in design and versatility. It is a must-have for parents who demand cutting edge design and quality. It is also stylish and lasts.

The seats are molded and are extremely comfortable. They're also adjustable, so they can be placed to meet the needs of siblings. iCandy has included the first-ever "cinema seating" design that allows parents to keep eye contact between both children. They can be adjusted so that they face either the parent or the world.

It's a heavier tandem buggie but it's a breeze to operate and drive, especially on smooth pavements. It's stable in single and double mode and even on sloped ground. It's not as simple to drive on public transport, however, as it requires more than one hand to grip the handlebar. It's also a little heavy and will not fit in a standard family car boot with the seat in place, but this is a problem that can be overcome by thoughtful planning. iCandy include the footmuff, changing bag and car seat adapters in the price, making this an excellent value bundle for new parents.

4. Cybex Gazelle S

It was designed for twins or siblings, and comes with recliner chairs that are independent, compatible with carrycots, as well as lightweight frame that allows that allows for easy maneuverability on bumpy terrain.

The adjustable height handle and rear wheel suspension provide the comfort of children up to 22kg, while the durable pneumatic tyres are easy to clean and offer a smooth ride for running. The 360-degree swivel wheel 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 discovered that the Nipper Double is incredibly easy to navigate, even on rough terrain or when turning in an area with a lot of traffic. They were also awed by the fact that both seats recline independently. This means they can be adjusted to meet individual needs - ideal for napping.

They also appreciated that the hoods could be moved back and forward and back, making them much easier to adjust in the sun or for wind protection. They didn't provide as much coverage as the Baby Jogger City Mini Hoods. It's worth carrying an additional rain cover in the case.

Overall, our testers were impressed by the Nipper double's ability to let them take their twin stroller daughters Sydney and Lyla to all kinds of adventures. From spotting wildlife in a forest to rushing to the park for a playdate, they loved it. They were also impressed by how cozy and spacious the two seats are, with plenty of room for toddlers to play in. The lack of parent-facing seating and the inability of using a car seats with this buggy were noted as a problem by our test participants. They would have also preferred a larger storage space to store shopping items and other accessories.
