10 Things Everyone Hates About Best Double Buggy
The Best Double Buggy Strollers
If you're expecting twins, or have two young children of different ages then a double buggy can help you out and out and. The ideal double pushchair with car seat buggy is easy to maneuver and is able to take on rough surfaces.
These cars also come with features like large sun canopies, as well as 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 designed to travel and fits through standard doors easily due to its slim and compact design. It's also one the lightest double buggies available weighing only 14lb when folded. This makes it ideal for flying with a toddler and newborn because you won't have to exceed the luggage allowances of airlines. It folds down to the size of a backpack so that you can put it away in the back of your car when not when you're not using it.
It's simple to fold the Z-shape using one hand. Once you get used to it, it is compact and can be folded in a matter of seconds. Our test subject found the auto-lock a bit confusing, and since the handlebar doesn't lock into the position you push it into to the side, it struck her leg when she was using it. She also believed that the handlebar was on the shorter side. This is especially true when a large change bag hangs from it.
Unlike other lightweight travel buggies it doesn't sacrifice features and is one of the most full-featured double strollers available. It's compatible with two carry cots (available separately) and features multiple recline positions as well as a UV 50+ canopy. You can even add the bassinet to either or both seats to transform it into a travel set-up.
The four wheels made of rubber are ideal for pavements as well as urban terrain, but they're not built for off-roading - they struggled with long grass and gravel, and there isn't 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 manage to climb some pretty dirt hills.
iCandy Orange
The iCandy Orange double buggy is the ultimate in style, versatility and quality. It is an essential item for parents who want a chic, high-quality double buggy that will last. The Orange has a gorgeous, lightweight, streamlined chassis with a large basket that will easily take 2 car seats. It has an elegant, adjustable canopy that is both water repellent and ventilated. It is available in trendy colors like Pistachio on the Jet Black Frame, Fossil on a Jet Black Frame, and Rose. There is also the possibility of a built-in riding on the bike for older siblings to take part in the fun.
This 2021 update has few improvements, including improved maneuverability, a bigger shopping basket, and a new bumper bar with leatherette covers. The seats are very comfortable and feature a moulded look. They're also adjustable so that they can be positioned to suit siblings' needs. iCandy have introduced the first-ever 'cinema' seating concept that allows 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 a breeze 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 easy to drive on public transport, however, as it requires more than one hand to grip the handlebar. It's also a little bulky and can't be stuffed into the standard car boot for families with the seat on, however this can be overcome with some cautious planning. iCandy include the footmuff, changing bag and car seat adapters in the price, so it's an excellent value package for new parents.

This is an ultra-lightweight tandem stroller. It has two non-reversible seats, suitable for babies up to 3 years old. The rear seat can also be used to accommodate the car seat.

This fashionable and practical city stroller can be used by twins or a toddler with a baby or even three children with the addition of UPPAbaby's ‘PiggyBack’ board (sold separately). Its frame is sleek and compact size, which makes it suitable for narrow city streets and shopping malls. Its swivel front wheels and four-wheel suspension allows it to withstand rough or uneven terrain.

The only issue is that the front seat doesn't recline completely, which can be a problem for babies. It's a great choice if you are looking for a lightweight and affordable stroller.
4. Cybex Gazelle S
This is the stroller to get when you're expecting twins. It's the first travel system manufactured by Cybex and has built-in adaptors which make it easy to convert a single pushchair into a double. The upper adaptors are able to slide up and down to match your height whilst the lower ones can be twisted around and turned over making it easy to change from one configuration to another. The Gazelle's seat units also recline into a pretty flat position and have an extended UV 50+ sun canopy that is essential for young ones.
This is the future-ready multi-purpose stroller that is able to adapt to your family. It's suitable from birth as a mono-pushchair and after four years, it can be a double pushchair with the addition of a CLOUD Z iSize car seat or a second-seat unit, or Gazelle Cot. The new safety harness that is one-pull allows you to easily secure your child, even when you are wearing your child on your back.
Unlike most double strollers, the Gazelle S folds down compactly with both seats connected, so it's easy to fold into storage spaces at the home or in your trunk. The large lower basket can hold up to 25lbs of shopping, daily essentials or groceries and a detachable shopper basket provides more space for all of your purchases. A single-pull harness, a huge recline, and useful features like the basket that you can remove for shopping means this is a remarkably versatile and child-friendly stroller. It also has wheels that are puncture-proof, so you don't have to worry about sudden flat tubes on your journeys away from home.
5. Nipper double stroller with bassinet V5
The Nipper Double V5 is a updated version of Out 'n' About of the award-winning buggies that are all-terrain. It's made for siblings or twins and it has independent reclined seats, compatibility carrycots and a light frame for hassle-free manoeuvring on bumpy terrain.
The height-adjustable handle and rear wheel suspension guarantee a comfortable ride for children who weigh up to 22kg. the durable pneumatic tyres easy to wipe clean and give a smooth ride when jogging. The 360-swivel front wheel can be locked into place for easier manoeuvring around town, and the one pedal brake that locks easily is simple to use.
Our testers found the Nipper Double was incredibly easy to maneuver, even taking off on uneven ground or turning quickly in an area with a lot of traffic. The feature that the seats can be reclined independently was hugely appreciated.
They also loved the fact 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 test subjects did notice however that they did not provide an enormous amount of coverage as similar to the Baby Jogger City Mini hoods which is why it's worth packing a rain cover just in case.
Overall, our testers were impressed by the Nipper double's capacity to allow them to take their twin pushchair daughters Sydney and Lyla to all sorts of adventures. From seeing wildlife in the forest or rushing to a park for a playdate, they loved it. They were also awed by how comfortable and spacious the two seats are with plenty of room for growing toddlers to sprawl out in. Our testers did mention that the lack of a parent-facing seating and the inability to use car seats with this buggy was a drawback and they would like to see more storage space for shopping and other equipment.
