The Best Double Buggy Strollers
A double buggy is perfect when you are expecting twins, or if you have two children of different ages. The best ones are simple to manoeuvre and deal with rough surfaces and kerbs.
These vehicles also come with features like large sun canopies, as well as transparent hoods, as well as adjustable seats.
1. Baby Jogger City Tour 2 Double
The City Tour 2 Double stroller is the smallest of the Baby Jogger range. It's made for travel and easily fits through the majority of normal doors thanks to its slim design, it's also one of the most light double buggies available on the market weighing just 14lb when folded. It's perfect for traveling with a toddler and infant because you won't be able to exceed the allowances for luggage on airlines. double pram and pushchair can also be folded up to the size of an incredibly small travel bag so you can store it in the back seat of your car.
The one-handed, Z-shape fold is a breeze and it's extremely compact once you've mastered it. It takes a few seconds to unfold. Our test subject found the auto-lock a little confusing, and since the handlebar doesn't lock into its position when you push it to the side, it struck her leg when she used it. The handlebar was a little too short particularly with a large changing bag hanging off of it.
This double stroller isn't as lightweight as other travel buggies. It has a full array of features and is among the most versatile double strollers on the market. It is compatible with two carrycots (available separately) and has several recline positions and has an UV 50+ canopy. You can even add an additional bassinet to one or both seats to transform it into a travel set-up.
The four composite wheels made of rubber are ideal for pavements and urban terrain however they're not made for off-roading. They struggled on gravel and long grass, and there isn't much clearance between the wheel and the bracket which means that mud could get stuck easily. However, our tester still loved riding this buggy, and it did climb some beautiful muddy hills.
iCandy Orange
The iCandy Orange double buggy is the ultimate in style, versatility and quality. It is an essential item for parents who are looking for high-end design quality, style and quality that lasts.

This 2021 update includes a couple of improvements, including better manoeuvrability, a larger shopping basket, and a new bumper bar with leatherette covers.

They're also adjustable, so they can be positioned to suit the needs of siblings. iCandy have included the first ever 'cinema' seating design enabling parents to maintain eye contact with their children. They can be repositioned to face either the parent or the world.
It's a heavier tandem buggie, but it's easy to use and drive, especially on smooth pavements. It is stable in both double and single mode 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 is also bulky and can't be stuffed into a standard car boot without the seat in place, but this can be overcome by careful planning. iCandy has included a footmuff and changing bag in the price, making this an excellent value for new parents.

It comes with a large basket, and comfortable seats for children. The only downside is that the front seat can't recline completely, which can be a problem for infants.

4. Cybex Gazelle S
This is the stroller you need if you are expecting twins. It's the first travel system made by Cybex and comes with adaptors which make it easy to transform one pushchair to a double. The upper adaptors are adjustable to your height, and the lower adaptors are twisted and turned to allow you to switch from one configuration into another. The Gazelle's seat also reclines into a flat position. It also comes with a large UV 50+ sun shade that is vital for your kids.
This is the modern multi-purpose stroller which can adapt to your family's needs.

The new one-pull harness makes the process of securing your child a simple and easy procedure - perfect when you're wearing the baby on your back!
The Gazelle S is unlike most double strollers as it folds up compactly, with both seats tucked away. This makes it easy to store at home or even in your trunk.

5. Nipper Double V5
The Nipper Double V5 from Out 'n' About is a new version of the award-winning all-terrain buggy. It is designed for twins or siblings, and comes with independent reclining chairs, compatibility with carrycots and lightweight frame that allows to allow for easy maneuverability on bumpy terrain.
The adjustable handle's height and rear wheel suspension offer a comfortable ride for kids up to 22kg. The sturdy pneumatic tyres that are easy to clean, also offer a smooth ride when jogging. The 360-degree swivel wheel is able to be locked to make it easier to manoeuvre around the town. The one-pedal easy lock brake is also easy to use.
Our testers found the Nipper Double was incredibly easy to maneuver, even when walking on uneven ground or turning swiftly 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 fit the individual's needs. This is ideal for napping.
They also loved that the hoods could be moved back and forward and back, making them much easier to adjust in the sun or for wind protection. Our testers did discover, however, that they didn't offer an extensive amount of coverage as something like the Baby Jogger City Mini hoods and it's worthwhile to pack a rain cover in case of need.
Overall, our testers loved the way that the Nipper Double made it possible for them to take their twin girls Sydney and Lyla on a variety of adventures, from seeing wildlife in the woods to rush to the park for a playdate. The testers were also impressed with how spacious and comfortable the two seats are. There is plenty of room to stretch out for toddlers who are growing. The lack of parent facing seating and the inability to use car seats in this buggy were cited as a drawback by our test participants. They would have also preferred a larger storage space for shopping and other equipment.
