The Best Double Buggy Strollers
A double buggy is perfect when you are expecting twins or have two children of different ages. The ideal double buggy is easy to maneuver and is able to be used on uneven surfaces.
They also come with features like large sun canopy as well as hoods that are transparent and seats that are adjustable.
1. Baby Jogger City Tour Double
The City Tour 2 Double stroller is the smallest in the Baby Jogger range. It was designed specifically to travel and fits through standard doorways easily with its narrow and slim design. It's also one the lightest double buggies on the market with a weight of just 14lbs when folded. This makes it perfect to travel with a toddler and newborn because you won't have to exceed the allowances for luggage on airlines. 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 easy to fold the Z-shape using one hand. Once you get used to it, it is compact and can be folded in a matter of just a few seconds. However, our tester found the auto lock a little confusing. As the handlebar doesn't lock into place when you press it, it hit her legs when she was using it. She also thought that the handlebar was on the shorter side. This is especially true when a large change bag is hanging from it.
This double stroller isn't as light as other travel buggies. It has a full variety of features, and is one the most versatile double strollers available on the market. It's compatible with two carry cots (available separately) It also has multiple recline positions and an UV 50+ canopy. You can also add an additional bassinet to either or both seats to create a travel system.
The four rubber composite tires are ideal for pavements and urban terrain. However, they are not designed for off-roading. They had trouble with long grass and gravel and there was not enough clearance between the wheel bracket and the wheel and mud sank easily. Our tester loved this buggy, and it was able to climb 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 looking for a stylish, high-quality double buggy that will last. The Orange has an elegant frame that is lightweight and sleek with an enormous basket that easily fits 2 car seats. It comes with a gorgeous interchangeable water repellent and airy canopy with mesh ventilation. It is available in trendy colors that include Pistachio, Fossil, Latte and Rose on the Jet Black frame. The option of adding a built-in ride to an older sibling is also available.
The 2021 update comes with several changes, with improved manoeuvrability, and an even larger, better shopping basket that has been redesigned with a bumper bar and leatherette cover. The seats are extremely comfortable and have a sculpted appearance. The seats are also adjustable which means they can be placed according to the needs of siblings. iCandy have created the first-ever 'cinema' seating system 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 buggy but it's very easy to use and steer, especially on smooth pavements. It's stable in double and single mode, and even on sloped terrain. It's not as easy to drive on public transport, however, as it requires more than one hand to grip the handlebar. It's also a little bulky and can't be stuffed into a standard family car boot with the seat on, but this is a problem that can be overcome by cautious planning. iCandy includes the footmuff and changing bag with the cost, so it's an excellent value for new parents.
3. Joie Evalite Duo
This is a tandem stroller which is extremely light. It has two seats that are non-reversible that are ideal for infants to around 3 years old, and it can fit a car seat in the rear seat.
It features an easy and simple 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 is a great double buggy for beginners because it provides excellent value for money and is easy to steer. It is also extremely light, making it easier to push for long distances. It also features a high-quality suspension system, which guarantees the smoothest ride for parents and kids.
This stylish and practical city stroller is suitable for twins or a toddler and an infant, or even three children with the addition of UPPAbaby's"PiggyBack" board (sold separately). It has a sleek frame and compact dimensions, making it ideal for narrow streets and shopping malls. Its swivel wheels on the front and four-wheel suspension enable it to cope with slightly rough or uneven terrain.
This buggy is also suitable for families who plan to travel as it can fit a car seat in the back. It features an easy-to-fold system that can be used with a wide range of Joie infant car seats. It has a spacious basket, as well as comfortable seats for children. The only downside is that the front seat can't recline fully, which could be a problem for babies. But, it's an excellent option for families looking for an inexpensive and lightweight stroller.
4. double pram and pushchair
If you're expecting twins, this is definitely the stroller you need. It's the first travel system from Cybex and comes with built-in adaptors that make it simple to convert a single pushchair to a double. The upper adaptors can be adjustable to your height, while the lower adaptors are twisted and flipped to allow you to switch from one configuration into another. The Gazelle's seat can recline into a flat position. It also has a large UV 50+ sun shade that is vital for your kids.
This is the modern, multi-purpose stroller that can adapt to the needs of your family. It's suitable from birth as a mono-pushchair and from four years as a double pushchair, with the addition of a CLOUD Z iSize car seat or a second seat unit or Gazelle Cot. The new one-pull safety harness makes it easy to ensure your child's safety even when you're wearing your child on your back.
The Gazelle S is different from other double strollers because it folds down compactly with both seats tucked away. This makes it easy to store at home, or even in your trunk. A large lower basket can hold up to 25lbs of shopping, daily necessities or groceries, and a detachable shopper basket offers even more space for all of your purchases. This stroller is highly versatile and comfortable for families thanks to its harness that is one-pull and large recline. It also has puncture-proof tires so you don't have to worry about flat tires during your trips.
5. Nipper Double V5
The Nipper Double V5 from Out 'n' About is a refreshed version of the award-winning all-terrain buggy. It is specifically designed for twins or siblings and has recliner chairs that are independent, compatible with carrycots and a lightweight framework that allows for easy maneuverability on bumpy terrain.
The height-adjustable handle and rear wheel suspension guarantee an enjoyable ride for children up to 22kg, while the hard-wearing pneumatic tyres are easy to wipe clean and offer a smooth ride for running. The 360-degree swivel can be locked to make it easier to manoeuvre around town. The one-pedal lock brake is also easy to use.
Our test participants found that the Nipper Double was incredibly easy to maneuver, even when walking on uneven ground or turning swiftly in an area with a lot of traffic. They were also awed by the fact that both seats recline independently. This means they can be adjusted to suit your individual preferences - perfect for napping.
They also appreciated that the hoods were able to be moved back and forward and back, making them much easier to adjust in the sun or for wind 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 which is why it's worth packing a rain cover just in case.
Overall, our test participants loved the way that the Nipper Double made it possible for them to take their twin girls Sydney and Lyla to all sorts of adventures, from seeing wildlife in the woods to running to the park for a playdate. They were also amazed by how cozy and spacious the two seats are, with plenty of room for toddlers to play in. Our test participants did not agree, however, that the lack of a parent-facing seating and the inability to use car seats with the buggy was a disadvantage and they would have liked to have seen more storage space for shopping and other gear.
