The Best Double Buggy Strollers

If you’re expecting twins or two young children of various ages then a double buggy will help you out and about. The best double buggy is easy to maneuver and is able to handle rough surfaces.

These vehicles also come with features like large sun canopy and see-through hoods, as well 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 for travel and easily fits through most standard doorways with its ultra-narrow design. It’s also one of the lightest double buggies on the market weighing just 14lb when folded. It’s perfect for trips with a toddler and a newborn as you won’t over-exceed airline baggage allowances. It also folds up to the size of a backpack so that you can put it away in the back of your car when not being used.

It’s simple to fold the Z-shape with one hand. Once you’ve gotten used to it, it’s small and takes only a few seconds. Our test subject found the auto-lock somewhat confusing, and since the handlebar doesn’t lock into place when you push it, it hit her leg when she was using it. She also believed that the handlebar was on the shorter side. This is particularly true when a large change bag hangs from it.

Unlike other lightweight travel buggies it doesn’t sacrifice features and is among the most comprehensive double strollers that are available. It’s compatible with two carrycots (available separately) and has several recline positions and an UV 50+ canopy. You can add an additional bassinet to either or both seats to create an ideal travel system.

The four rubber composite wheels are ideal for pavements and urban terrain however they’re not made for off-roading. They struggled with long grass and gravel and there’s not much clearance between the wheel and bracket which means that mud could get stuck easily. Our tester loved this buggy, and it was able to climb some beautiful muddy hills.

iCandy Orange

The iCandy Orange double buggy is the ultimate in style, versatility and quality. It is a must-have for parents who want cutting edge design, quality and style that lasts. The Orange has a gorgeous light, sleek chassis with a huge basket that easily fits two car seats. It has a luxurious, interchangeable water repellent and breathable canopy with mesh ventilation. It comes in trendy colours such as Pistachio, Fossil, Latte and Rose on the Jet Black frame. There’s also the option of a built-in ride on the board for older siblings to join in the fun.

The 2021 update comes with few enhancements, including improved maneuverability, a bigger shopping basket and a redesigned bumper bar that has a leatherette cover. The seats are very comfortable and have a sculpted look. They’re also adjustable so that they can be positioned to suit the needs of siblings. iCandy have created the first ever ‘cinema’ seating system that allows parents to keep eye contact with both children. They can also be moved to face either the parent or the to face the world.

It’s a heavier tandem buggy but it’s extremely easy to use and steer, especially on smooth roads. It’s stable in double and single mode, and even on sloped terrain. It’s not as easy to use on public transport as it requires two hands on the handlebar. It’s also large and can’t be stuffed into a standard car boot with the seat in place, but this can be overcome by careful planning. iCandy has included the footmuff and changing bag in the price, making this an excellent value package for parents who are just starting out.

3. Joie Evalite Duo

This is a tandem stroller which is ultra-lightweight. It has two seats that are non-reversible that are suitable for children aged from birth to around 3 years old. Additionally, it can fit a car seat in the rear.

It features an easy and user-friendly folding mechanism, making it convenient for storage and travel. It also features a spacious basket, ideal to store all of your baby’s or toddler’s essentials.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a ideal double buggy with car seat buggy for newbies because it provides excellent value for money and is simple to steer.

This fashionable and practical city stroller is suitable for twins or a toddler with a baby or even three children by adding UPPAbaby’s ‘PiggyBack’ board (sold separately). It has a sleek frame and a compact size, which makes it suitable for narrow Double stroller streets and shopping malls. The swivel wheels on front and four-wheel suspension allows it to handle uneven or rough terrain.

Another benefit is that this buggy can fit a car seat in the back, which makes it ideal for families planning on traveling. It has an easy-to-fold system that is compatible with a variety of Joie infant car seats. It has a spacious basket and comfortable seats for children. The only issue is that the front seat can’t recline completely, which can be a problem for babies. However, it’s an excellent choice for families seeking a cheap double stroller and lightweight stroller.

4. Cybex Gazelle S

This is the stroller you need if you are expecting twins. It’s the Cybex first travel system and it has built-in adaptors that make it simple to convert from an individual stroller into a double. The adaptors on the upper end can slide upwards and downwards to accommodate your height while the lower ones can be twisted around and rotated which makes it a breeze to switch from one configuration to another. The Gazelle’s seat unit also can recline into a flat position. It also has an enormous UV 50+ sun shade that is essential for your kids.

From birth, it is mono pushchair and up to 4 years as a double when you add the of the CLOUD Z i-Size car seats or an additional seat or Gazelle Cot, this is the stroller that is future-proof that can be adapted to your family. The new harness with one-pull makes securing your child an easy and simple procedure – perfect when you’re carrying the baby on your back!

Unlike most double strollers, the Gazelle S folds compactly with both seats firmly attached, making it easy to squeeze into the storage space at home or in your trunk.

5. Nipper Double V5

The Nipper Double V5 from Out ‘n’ About is a refreshed version of the award-winning all-terrain buggy. It’s designed for siblings or twins and has separate reclined seats, compatibility with carrycots and a lightweight frame that makes it easy to maneuver on bumpy terrain.

The adjustable handle’s height and rear wheel suspension ensure a comfortable ride for kids up to 22kg. The sturdy pneumatic tyres that are easy to clean, also give a smooth ride while running. The 360-degree swivel wheel is able to be locked to allow for easier maneuvering around town. The one-pedal, easy lock brake is also simple to use.

Our testers noted that the Nipper Double was incredibly easy to manoeuvre, even when taking on uneven ground or turning swiftly in an area with a lot of traffic. The possibility that the seats could be reclined independently was also hugely appreciated.

The hoods were also easy to adjust for sun or wind protection. Our test subjects did notice, however, that they did not provide the same amount of coverage as similar to the Baby Jogger City Mini hoods and it’s recommended to bring a rain jacket just in case.

Overall, our test participants were impressed by the Nipper double’s capacity to let them take their twin daughters Sydney and Lyla to all kinds of adventures. From spotting wildlife in a forest to rushing to the park to play with their friends, they loved it. The testers were also impressed by how spacious and comfortable the two seats are. There’s plenty of room to stretch out for toddlers who are growing. The lack of parent facing seating and the inability of using a car seat in this buggy were cited as a disadvantage by our test participants. They would have also wanted a bigger storage space for shopping and other equipment.
