These vehicles also have features like large sun canopy and see-through hoods, as well 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 most doors with its narrow design. It's also one of the most lightweight double buggies that are available, weighing only 14lbs when folded. It's perfect for traveling with a newborn and toddler as you won’t exceed the allowances for luggage on airlines. It also folds to the size of a bag for travel so that you can put it away in the back of your car when not being used.
It's simple to fold the Z-shape with one hand. Once you've gotten used to it, it is small and takes only a few minutes. However, our tester discovered the auto lock to be a bit confusing and as the handlebar isn't locked into place when you press it, it struck her legs when she was using it. She also thought that the handlebar was on the shorter side. This is particularly true when a large changing bag hangs from it.
This double stroller isn't as lightweight as other travel buggies. It comes with a wide array of features and is among the most versatile double strollers available on the market. It's compatible with two carry cots (available separately), features multiple recline positions as well as a UV 50+ canopy. You can put the bassinet to either or both seats to create an ideal travel system.
The four tires made of rubber are great for pavements and urban terrain. However, they're not designed for off-roading. They had trouble with gravel and long grass and there wasn't enough clearance between the wheel bracket and the wheel, so mud stuck easily. But, our tester still loved riding this buggy, and it did manage to climb some pretty dirt hills.
iCandy Orange
The iCandy Orange double buggy is the most stylish, versatile and quality. It is an essential item for parents who demand high-end design and quality. It is also stylish and lasts.

They can be moved to face either the parent or the world.
It's a heavier tandem buggy but it's extremely easy to use and steer, particularly on smooth pavements. It is stable in single and double mode, and also on sloping ground. It is not as easy to use on public transport since it requires two hands on the handlebar. It is also bulky and won't fit in a standard car boot with the seat in place, but this can be overcome by careful planning. iCandy includes the footmuff and changing bag in the price, making this an excellent value for new parents.

4. Cybex Gazelle S
If you're expecting twins, this is the stroller you need. It's the first travel system from Cybex and comes with built-in adaptors that make it simple to transform one pushchair to a double. The adaptors on the upper end can move up and down to suit your height whilst the lower ones can be turned around and rotated, making it really easy to change from one configuration to another. The Gazelle's seat can recline into a flat position. It also has a large UV 50+ sun shade that is vital for children.
This is the futuristic multi-purpose stroller which can adapt to your family's needs. It's suitable from the time of birth as a mono-pushchair.

5. Nipper Double V5
The Nipper Double V5 from Out 'n' About is an updated version of the award-winning all-terrain buggy. It's made for siblings or twins, and features independent reclined seats, compatibility carrycots and a lightweight frame for hassle-free manoeuvring on uneven terrain.
The adjustable handle's height and rear wheel suspension ensure an enjoyable ride for children up to 22kg. The durable pneumatic tyres, which are easy to clean, also provide a smooth ride when jogging. The 360-degree swivel wheel is able to be locked in place to make it easier to manoeuvre around the town. The one-pedal, easy lock brake is also simple to use.
Our test participants found that the Nipper Double is incredibly easy to navigate, even on bumpy terrain or when turning in the middle of a busy road. The possibility that the seats could be reclined independently was also an enormous hit.
The hoods were also simple to adjust for wind or sun protection. They didn't offer the same amount of coverage as the Baby Jogger City Mini Hoods. It's probably worth packing an additional rain cover in the case.
Overall, our test participants loved the way the Nipper Double allowed them to take their twin girls Sydney and Lyla on all sorts of adventures, from spotting wildlife in the woods, to rushing to the park for a quick playdate. They were also amazed by how comfortable and spacious the two seats are with plenty of space for toddlers growing to play in. Our test participants did not agree that the absence of parent-facing seating and inability to use car seats in this buggy were a problem and they would have liked to see more storage space for shopping and other gear.
