The
Best Double Buggy Strollers
A double buggy is ideal for twins who are due, or if you have two children of different ages. The best ones are simple to maneuver and deal with rough surfaces and kerbs.
These vehicles also come with features such as large sun canopies and 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 made for travel and easily fits through most doors with its narrow design. It's also one of the most light double buggies available on the market, weighing just 14lb when folded. It's ideal for travel with a toddler and a newborn because you won't be able to exceed airline luggage allowances. It can also be folded into a small travel bag, which means you can put it in the back of your car.
It's simple to fold the Z-shape with one hand. Once you've gotten used to it, it's compact and only takes just a few seconds. However our tester discovered the auto lock to be a little confusing. As the handlebar isn't locked into position when you press it, it struck her legs when she was using it. She also felt that the handlebar was a bit on the short side and especially with the large changing bag hanging from it.
In contrast to other travel buggies that are lightweight, this doesn't skimp on features. It's one of the most feature-packed double strollers that are available. It is compatible with two carrycots (available separately), features multiple 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 perfect for
compact double buggy pavements and urban terrain however, they're not designed for off-roading - they struggled on gravel and long grass and there's not much space between the wheel and bracket so mud was able to get stuck easily. That being said our testers still enjoyed the buggy and did get up to some beautiful muddy hills.
2. iCandy Orange
The iCandy Orange double buggy is the most stylish, versatile and quality. It is a must-have for parents who are looking for high-end design and quality. It is also stylish and lasts. The Orange is a stunning, lightweight, streamlined chassis with a large basket that can easily fit two car seats. It comes with a gorgeous adjustable water repellent and breathable canopy with mesh ventilation. It is available in trendy colors such as Pistachio on the Jet Black Frame, Fossil on a Jet Black Frame, and Rose. The option of adding a built-in ride for older siblings is also available.
This 2021 update has some changes, with improved manoeuvrability, and an even better, larger shopping basket with a new bumper bar and leatherette cover. The seats are very comfortable and feature a moulded appearance. They're also adjustable so that they can be placed to meet the needs of siblings. iCandy have introduced the first-ever 'cinema' seating concept that allows parents to keep eye contact with their children. They can also be adjusted to face either parent or world facing.
It's a heavier tandem buggie however, it's very easy to drive and use especially on smooth pavements. It is stable in both double and single modes and even on sloping ground. It's not as simple to use on public transport because it requires two hands to hold the handlebar. It's also heavy and will not fit into the standard car boot with the seat attached, but this can be overcome with careful planning. iCandy includes the footmuff and changing bag included in the price, making this an excellent value for new parents.
3. Joie Evalite Duo
This is a tandem stroller that's extremely light. It comes with two non-reversible seats, suitable for babies up to 3 years old. The rear seat can also accommodate the car seat.
It comes with an easy-to fold mechanism that makes it convenient for travel and storage. It also comes with a huge basket that is perfect to store your baby's and toddler's essentials.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a excellent double buggy for novices because it provides excellent value for money and is easy to steer. It is also extremely lightweight, making it easy to push across long distances. It also features a high-quality suspension system, which ensures a smooth ride for both parents and children.
This fashionable and practical city stroller can be used by twins or a toddler and an infant, or even three children by adding UPPAbaby's"PiggyBack" board (sold separately). Its frame is sleek and a compact size, which makes it suitable for narrow streets and shopping malls. The swivel wheels on front and four-wheel suspension allows it to handle uneven or slightly rough terrain.
Another great feature is that this buggy can accommodate a car seat in the back making it a great choice for families who plan on traveling. It comes with a one-click secure fold and is compatible with a variety of Joie infant car seat. It comes with a large basket, and comfortable seats for the kids. The only downside is that the front seat isn't able to recline fully, which could be a problem for babies. It's a great option when you're searching for a light and inexpensive stroller.
4. Cybex Gazelle S
If you're expecting twins, this is the stroller for you. It's Cybex first travel system with built-in adaptors that make it simple to convert from an individual stroller into a double. The upper adaptors are adjustable to your height, whilst the lower adaptors can be turned and flipped to allow you to switch from one configuration into another. The Gazelle's seat units also recline into a nice flat position and come with an extended, large UV 50+ sun canopy which is essential for your children.
This is the future-ready multi-purpose stroller that is able to adapt to the needs of your family. It's 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 harness with one-pull makes securing your child an easy and simple procedure - perfect when you're wearing the baby on your back!
The Gazelle S is different from other double strollers in that it folds down compactly with both seats tucked away. This makes it easy to store at home or even 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 offers additional space. A one-pull harness, huge recline, and practical features such as the basket that you can remove for shopping means this is a remarkably versatile and family friendly stroller. It also comes with puncture-proof tires so you aren't worried about flat tires on your trips.
5. Nipper Double V5
The Nipper Double V5 is a refreshed version from Out 'n' About of the award-winning buggies that are all-terrain. It's made for siblings or twins and it has 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 ensure a comfortable ride for kids up to 22kg. The sturdy pneumatic tyres that are easy to clean, provide a smooth ride when jogging. The 360-degree swivel wheel is able to be locked in place to help you maneuver around town. The one-pedal lock brake is also easy to use.
Our testers found that the Nipper Double is incredibly easy to navigate, even on bumpy terrain or turning into an area with a lot of traffic. They were also impressed by the fact that both seats recline independently, which means they can be adjusted to suit individual needs - ideal for napping.
They also liked that the hoods were able to be moved back and forward and back, making them much easier to adjust in the sun or for wind protection.
