The Best Double Buggy Strollers
If you're expecting twins or two young children of different age groups, a double buggy will help you get out and about. The ideal double buggy is easy to maneuver and is able to handle rough surfaces.
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 in the Baby Jogger range. It was designed specifically for travel, and fits through doors that are standard with its ultra-narrow shape. It's also one the lightest double buggies available with a weight of just 14lbs when folded. It's perfect for trips with a toddler and a newborn as you won’t exceed the allowances for luggage on airlines. It folds down to the size of a bag for travel so you can tuck it away in the back of your car when not when you're not using it.
It's easy to fold the Z-shape with one hand. Once you're used to it, it's small and takes only a few minutes. Our test subject found the auto-lock a bit confusing, and since the handlebar doesn't lock in the position you push it into, it hit her leg when she tried to use it. She also believed that the handlebar was on the short side. This is especially true when a large change bag is hanging from it.
As opposed to other light travel buggies it doesn't sacrifice features and is among the most comprehensive double strollers on the market. It can be used with two carrycots (available separately) and has several recline positions and a UV 50+ canopy. You can also add the bassinet to either or both seats and transform this into a travel system.
The four rubber composite wheels are ideal for pavements and urban terrain however they're not made for off-roading. They slid with long grass and gravel and there's not much clearance between the wheel and bracket which means that mud could get stuck easily. That being said our tester was still enthralled riding this buggy, and it did manage to climb some pretty hilly terrains.
2. iCandy Orange
The iCandy Orange is a premium double buggy that is a top choice in style and versatility. It is an essential item for parents looking for a stylish high-end double buggy that lasts. The Orange has an elegant frame that is lightweight and sleek with an enormous basket that is able to accommodate two car seats. It has a luxurious, adjustable water repellent and ventilated canopy with mesh ventilation. 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 option of a built-in ride on the board for older siblings to join in the fun.
This 2021 update has several changes, including improved manoeuvrability and an even larger, better shopping basket with a new bumper bar and leatherette cover. The seats are very comfortable and have a sculpted look. The seats are also adjustable and can be set to meet the needs of siblings. iCandy has included the first-ever "cinema seating" style that allows parents to keep eye contact with their children. They can be adjusted to face either the parent or the world.
It's a heavier tandem buggie but it's easy to operate and drive especially on smooth pavements. It feels stable in both double and single modes and even on sloped ground. It's not as easy to use on public transport because it requires two hands to hold the handlebar. It's also a bit bulky and won't fit into a standard car boot with the seat attached but this can be overcome by careful planning. iCandy has included a footmuff and changing bag with the cost, so it's an excellent value for new parents.
3. Joie Evalite Duo
This is a light tandem stroller. It has two seats that are non-reversible that are ideal for children aged from birth to about 3 years old. In Push Chairs And Prams , it can also accommodate a car seat in the rear seat.
It features an easy-to use folding mechanism that makes it easy for travel and storage. It also has a large basket that is ideal for storing your baby and toddler's essentials.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a excellent double buggy for novices because it provides excellent value for money and is simple to maneuver. It is also incredibly lightweight and makes it easier to push over long distances. It also features a high-quality suspension system, which ensures an enjoyable ride for parents and kids.
This stylish and practical city stroller is suitable for twins or a toddler with one or two children with the addition of UPPAbaby’s ‘PiggyBack’ board (sold separately). Its sleek frame and compact dimensions make it ideal for shopping malls and narrow city streets. Its swivel wheels on the front and four-wheel suspension enable it to cope with slightly rough or uneven terrain.
Another good feature is that this buggy can fit a car seat in the back seat making it a great choice for families that plan to travel. It features the one-click fold that secures it and is compatible a wide range Joie infant car seat. It has a spacious basket, and comfortable seats for children. The only downside is the front seat can't recline completely, which can be a problem for young babies. It's a great choice if you are looking for a lightweight and affordable stroller.
4. Cybex Gazelle S
This is the stroller you need if you are expecting twins. It's the first travel system from Cybex and has built-in adaptors that allow you to transform a single pushchair to a double. The upper adaptors are adjustable to your height, while the lower adaptors can be turned and turned to allow you to change from one configuration to another. The Gazelle's seat can recline into flat position. It also comes with an enormous UV 50+ sun shade that is essential for children.
This is the modern multi-purpose stroller which can adapt to your family's needs. It can be used from birth as a mono-pushchair, and up to four years old as 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're wearing your baby on your back.
Unlike most double strollers, the Gazelle S folds down compactly with both seats firmly attached, so it's easy to fit into the storage space at home or 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 gives you an additional space.

5. Nipper Double V5
The Nipper Double V5 from Out 'n' About is a new version of the award-winning all-terrain buggie. It is designed for twins or siblings and has independent reclining chairs, compatibility with carrycots, and lightweight frame that allows to allow for easy maneuverability on bumpy terrain.
The height-adjustable handle and rear wheel suspension offer the most comfortable ride for children up to 22kg. The sturdy pneumatic tyres that are easy to clean, also offer a smooth ride when running. The 360 swivel front wheel can be locked in place for easier manoeuvring around the city, and the single pedal brake that locks easily is simple to use.
Our testers found the Nipper Double was incredibly easy to manoeuvre, even when taking on uneven ground or when turning quickly in the middle of a busy street. They were also amazed by the fact that both seats recline independently. This means they can be adjusted to meet your individual preferences - perfect for napping.
They also loved that the hoods were able to be moved back and forward, which made them easier to adjust in the sun or to provide wind protection. Our testers did discover, however, that they didn't provide an extensive amount of coverage when compared to something like the Baby Jogger City Mini hoods which is why it's worth packing a rain cover in case of need.
Overall, our test participants were impressed with the Nipper double's ability let them take their twin daughters Sydney and Lyla to all kinds of adventures. From exploring the forest for wildlife or rushing to a park to play with their friends, they loved it. They were also amazed by how cozy and spacious the two seats are, with plenty of room for growing toddlers to stretch out in. The lack of parent facing seating and the inability of using a car seat on this buggy were both noted as a drawback by our testers. They would have wanted a bigger storage space for shopping and other gear.
