The Best Double Buggy Strollers
A double running stroller buggy is the best if you are expecting twins or have two children of different age groups. The best ones are simple to manoeuvre and handle rough surfaces and kerbs.
These vehicles also have features like large sun canopy and transparent hoods, and adjustable seats.
1. Baby Jogger City Tour 2 Double
The City Tour 2 Double stroller is the smallest in the Baby Jogger range. It's designed for travel and easily fits through the majority of normal doors thanks to its slim design, it's also one of the lightest double buggies that are available, weighing only 14lbs when folded. This makes it perfect to travel with a baby and toddler because you won't have to exceed the luggage allowances of airlines. It folds down to the size of a bag for travel and can be tucked away in the back of your car when not in use.
The one-handed, Z-shape folding is a breeze, it's incredibly compact when you've mastered it. It takes a few seconds to unfold. Our tester found the auto-lock a bit confusing, and since the handlebar does not lock into place when you push it to the side, it struck her leg when she was using it. She also felt the handlebar was a little too short particularly with a large changing bag hanging from it.
This double stroller isn't as light as other buggies. It's got a broad range of features, and is among the most versatile double stroller With standing platform 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 the bassinet to either or both seats, and turn it into a travel set-up.
The four tires made of rubber are great for pavements as well as urban terrain. However, they are not designed for off-roading. They had a hard time with long grass and gravel and there was not enough clearance between the wheel bracket and the wheel, so mud stuck easily. Our tester loved this vehicle and was able to climb beautiful muddy hills.
2. 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-end double buggy that lasts. The Orange features a sleek, lightweight, streamlined frame with an enormous basket that easily fits 2 car seats.

They are also adjustable and can be placed according to the needs of siblings. iCandy has introduced the first 'cinema seating' design that allows parents to keep eye contact with both children. They can also be moved to face either the parent or the towards the world.
It's a heavier tandem buggie, but it's easy to operate and drive, especially on smooth pavements. It is stable in both single and double mode and even on sloping terrain. It's not as easy to drive on public transport, however, as it requires more than one hand on the handlebar. It is also bulky and can't be stuffed into a standard car boot with the seat attached, but this can be overcome by careful planning. iCandy include a footmuff, changing bag and car seat adapters included in the price so this is an excellent value for parents who are new.

Our testers found that the Nipper Double is incredibly easy to navigate, even on rough terrain or turning into an area with a lot of traffic. The feature that the seats can be reclined independently was also an enormous hit.
The hoods were also easy to adjust for wind or sun protection. Our test subjects did notice however that they didn't offer an enormous amount of coverage as something like the Baby Jogger City Mini hoods, so it might be worth packing a rain cover just in case.
Overall, our testers were impressed by the Nipper double's ability to allow them to take their twin pushchair from birth daughters Sydney and Lyla to all kinds of adventures. From exploring the forest for wildlife to rushing to a park to play with their friends they were thrilled. The testers were also awed with how spacious and comfortable the two seats are. There's plenty of room to stretch out for toddlers who are growing. Our testers did mention, however, that the lack of a parent-facing seating and the inability of using car seats with the buggy was a disadvantage, and they would like to have seen more storage space for shopping and other gear.
