1. Baby Jogger City Tour Double
The City Tour 2 Double stroller is the smallest model in the Baby Jogger range. It's designed for travel, and can fit through doors that are standard with its slim and compact design. It's also among the lightest double buggies available weighing only 14lb when folded. It's perfect for trips with a toddler and a newborn since you won't exceed the allowances for luggage on airlines. It can also be folded up into the size of 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 get used to it, it's small and takes only a few minutes. However, our tester found the auto lock a little confusing. As the handlebar wasn't locked into position when you press it, it struck her legs when she used it. She also believed that the handlebar was on the shorter side. double pram and pushchair is particularly true when a large changing bag is hanging from it.
In contrast to other travel buggies that are lightweight it doesn't sacrifice features. It's one of the most feature-packed double strollers on the market. It's compatible with two carry cots (available separately) and offers multiple recline positions, and an UV 50+ canopy. You can even add the bassinet to either or both seats to transform it into a travel set-up.
The four tires made of rubber are great for pavements and urban terrain. However, they're not made for off-roading. They struggled with gravel and long grass and there wasn't enough clearance between the wheel bracket and wheel and mud sank easily. Our tester loved this vehicle and was able to climb pretty hillocks that were muddy.
