The Best Double Buggy Strollers
A double buggy is ideal if you are expecting twins or have two children of different age groups. The best ones are easy to maneuver and handle rough surfaces and kerbs.
These cars also come with features like large sun canopies, as well as transparent hoods, as well as adjustable seats.
1. Baby Jogger City Tour Double
The City Tour 2 Double stroller is the smallest model in the Baby Jogger range. It's designed to travel and easily fits through most doors with its narrow design. It's also one of the lightest double buggies on the market weighing just 14lb when folded. This makes it perfect for traveling with a toddler and newborn since you won't exceed the luggage allowances of airlines. It also folds up to the size of a backpack so you can tuck it away in the back of your car when not being used.
The one-handed, Z-shape folding is a breeze, it's incredibly compact when you get the hang of it. It can take a couple of minutes to fold. Our test subject found the auto-lock somewhat confusing, and since the handlebar doesn't lock in its position when you push it, it hit her leg when she tried to use it. She also felt that the handlebar was a bit too short particularly with a large changing bag hanging from it.
This double stroller is not 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's compatible with two carry cots (available separately) It also offers multiple recline positions, and an UV 50+ canopy. You can also add a bassinet on either or both seats to create an all-in-one travel system.
The four rubber composite tires are ideal for pavements and urban terrain. However, they were not designed for off-roading. They had trouble with gravel and long grass and there was not enough clearance between the wheel bracket and wheel, so mud stuck easily. Our testers loved this buggy and was able to climb some beautiful hillocks that were muddy.
2. iCandy Orange
The iCandy Orange double buggy is the most stylish, versatile and quality. It is an essential item for parents who want high-end design and quality. It is also stylish and lasts. The Orange is a stylish lightweight, sleek frame with a large basket that easily fits two car seats. It comes with a gorgeous, removable canopy that is water-resistant and air-conditioned. It comes in trendy colours - Pistachio, Fossil, Latte and Rose on the Jet Black frame. The option to add an integrated ride for older siblings is also available.
This 2021 update includes a couple of improvements, including better maneuverability, a larger basket, and a revamped bumper bar with leatherette cover. The seats are extremely comfortable and have a sculpted appearance. They're also adjustable so that they can be set to suit the needs of siblings. iCandy has included the first-ever 'cinema seating' design that allows parents to keep eye contact between both children. They can be moved to face either the parent or the world.
It's a heavier tandem buggie, however, it's very easy to use and drive, especially on smooth pavements. It's stable in double and single mode and even on sloping terrain. It's not as simple to drive on public transport, however, as it requires more than one hand on the handlebar. It's also a little bulky and won't fit into a standard family car boot with the seat on, but this can be overcome by cautious planning. iCandy have included a footmuff, changing bag and car seat adapters in the price so this is an excellent value bundle for new parents.
3. Joie Evalite Duo
This is a tandem stroller that is ultra-lightweight. It comes with two non-reversible seats, which are suitable for babies up to about 3 years old. The rear seat can also be used to accommodate the car seat.
It comes with a simple and easy-to-use folding mechanism that makes it convenient for storage and travel. It also has a spacious basket, perfect to store all of your baby's and toddler's essentials.
The Joie Evalite Duo double buggy is a fantastic option for those who are just starting out, since it is affordable and simple to operate. It is also extremely light and makes it easier to push for long distances. It also features a high-quality suspension system that ensures a smooth ride for both kids and parents.
This fashionable and practical city stroller can be used by twins, a toddler and one or two children by adding 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.
This buggy is also ideal for families that plan to travel as it can fit a car seat in the back. It features a secure one-click fold and is compatible with a range of Joie infant car seats. It also has a large basket and comfortable seats for both children. The only downside is that the front seat isn't able to recline fully, which could be a problem for infants. It's a great option when you're looking for a lightweight and inexpensive stroller.
4. Cybex Gazelle S
This is the stroller you need if you are expecting twins. It's Cybex first travel system, and it comes with built-in adaptors that make it easy to transform from a single stroller into a double. The upper adaptors are easily adjustable to your height, whilst the lower adaptors are twisted and turned to allow you to change from one configuration to another. The Gazelle's seat unit also reclines into a flat position. It also has a large UV 50+ sun shade that is vital for your children.
This is the future-ready, multi-purpose stroller that can adapt to the needs of your family. It's suitable from birth as a mono-pushchair, and up to four years old as a double pushchair with the addition of a CLOUD Z iSize car seat, a second seat unit or Gazelle Cot. The new safety harness that is one-pull makes it easy to secure your child, even when you're wearing your child on your back.
Unlike most double strollers, the Gazelle S folds down compactly with both seats attached making it easy to squeeze into storage spaces at your home or in your trunk. A large lower basket can hold up to 25lbs. of shopping, everyday necessities or food items. A detachable basket for shopper's provides even more space. A single-pull harness, a huge recline, and practical features such as the shopping basket that can be removed this is a remarkably versatile and child-friendly stroller. It also has puncture-proof wheels so you aren't worried about flat tires on your adventures.
5. Nipper Double V5
The Nipper Double V5 is a new model from Out 'n' About of the award-winning buggies that can be used on all terrains. It is designed for twins or siblings and has independent reclining chairs, compatibility with carrycots, as well as an ultra-light frame for easy manoeuvrability on bumpy terrain.
The adjustable height handle and rear wheel suspension provide a comfortable ride for kids up to 22kg. The tough pneumatic tyres, that are easy to clean, also offer a smooth ride when jogging. The 360-degree swivel wheel is able to be locked in place to help you maneuver around the 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 walking on uneven ground or when turning swiftly in the middle of a busy street. They were also amazed by the fact that both seats recline independently, meaning they can be adjusted to suit individual needs - ideal for napping.
The hoods were also simple to adjust for wind or sun protection. Our testers did find, however, that they didn't offer the same amount of coverage as similar to the Baby Jogger City Mini hoods and it's recommended to bring a rain jacket in case of need.
Overall, our test participants were impressed with the Nipper double's ability to let them take their twin daughters Sydney and Lyla to all kinds of adventures. From spotting wildlife in a forest or rushing to a park to play with their friends, they loved it. They were also impressed by how cozy and spacious the two seats are, with plenty of space for toddlers growing to play in. The lack of parent-facing seating and the inability of using a car seat in this buggy were cited as a problem by our test participants. They would have also preferred a larger storage space for shopping and other gear.
