The Best Double Buggy Strollers
If you're expecting twins or two young children of various age groups, then a double buggy will help you get out and about. The best double buggy is simple to maneuver and is able to be used on uneven surfaces.
These cars also come with features like large sun canopy and transparent hoods, as well as adjustable seats.
1. Baby Jogger City Tour 2 Double
The City Tour 2 Double is the smallest double stroller in the Baby Jogger range. It's made for travel and easily fits through doors with its narrow design. It's also one of the most light double buggies available on the market, weighing just 14lb when folded. This makes it perfect for flying with a newborn and a toddler since you won't exceed the luggage allowances of airlines. It also folds to the size of a travel bag so you can tuck it away in the back of your car when it's not being used.
The one-handed, Z-shape folding is a breeze and it's extremely compact once you get the hang of it and takes seconds to unfold. However, our tester discovered the auto lock to be a bit confusing. Also, since the handlebar doesn't lock into place when you press it, it landed on her legs when she was using it. She also thought that the handlebar was on the short side. This is especially the case when a large changing bag hangs from it.
This double stroller isn't as lightweight as other travel buggies. It has a full range of features, and is among the most versatile double strollers on the market. It's compatible with two carry cots (available separately), features multiple recline positions as well as an UV 50+ canopy. You can put an additional bassinet to one or both seats to make this a travel system.
The four rubber composite tires are great for pavements and urban terrain. However, they are not designed for off-roading. They had a hard time with gravel and long grass and there wasn't enough clearance between the wheel bracket and wheel and mud sank easily. But, our tester still loved the buggy and did get up to some pretty hilly terrains.
2. iCandy Orange
The iCandy Orange is a premium double buggy that is the ultimate in design and versatility. It is a must-have item for parents looking for a stylish and durable double buggy that lasts. The Orange features a sleek frame that is lightweight and sleek with an enormous basket that can easily accommodate 2 car seats. It has a luscious adjustable water repellent and ventilated canopy with mesh ventilation. It is available in trendy colors that include Pistachio, Fossil, Latte and Rose on the Jet Black frame. There is also the possibility of a built-in ride on board for older sibling to join in the fun.
This 2021 update has couple of improvements, including better manoeuvrability, a larger shopping basket, and a revamped bumper bar that has a leatherette cover. The seats are very comfortable and have a moulded look. The seats can also be adjusted, so they can be positioned according to the needs of siblings. iCandy has included the first-ever 'cinema seating' design that allows parents to maintain eye contact with both children. They can also be repositioned to face either parent or towards the world.
It's a heavier buggie in tandem, but it's a breeze to drive and use, especially on smooth pavements. It is stable in single and double mode, and even on sloped terrain. It's not as simple to drive on public transport, however, as it requires more than one hand to grip the handlebar. It's also a bit bulky and won't fit into a standard car boot with the seat on, but this can be overcome by careful planning. iCandy has included an infant footmuff and a changing bag included in the cost, so it's a great value package for new parents.
3. Joie Evalite Duo
This is a lightweight tandem stroller. It has two non-reversible seats that are ideal for children aged from birth to about 3 years old. In addition, it can fit a car seat in the rear.
It features an easy and simple to use folding mechanism that makes it easy to travel with and store. It also comes with a huge basket that is ideal to store your baby and toddler's essentials.
The Joie Evalite Duo double buggy is a great choice for beginners, as it is inexpensive and easy to use. It is also extremely lightweight and easy to push over long distances. It also features a high-quality suspension system, which guarantees an enjoyable ride for parents and kids.
This is a stylish and practical city buggy that can be used for twins or a baby with a toddler, or even three children with the addition of UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack board (sold separately). Its sleek frame and small dimensions make it perfect for shopping malls and crowded city streets. The swivel wheels on the front and four-wheel suspension enable it to navigate uneven or rough terrain.
Another great feature is that this buggy can accommodate a car seat in the back seat, which makes it ideal for families that plan on traveling. It comes with a secure, one-click fold and works with a wide range of Joie infant car seats. It also has a spacious basket and comfortable seats for both children. The only downside is the front seat cannot recline completely, which could be a concern for small infants. It's a great choice to consider if you're searching for a light and affordable stroller.
4. Cybex Gazelle S
If you're expecting twins, this is the stroller for you. It's the Cybex first travel system with built-in adaptors that make it simple to convert from an individual stroller into a double. The adaptors on the upper end can slide upwards and downwards to accommodate your height while the lower ones can be turned around and rotated which makes it a breeze to switch from one configuration to another. The Gazelle's seat units also recline into a nice flat position and come with an extended, large UV 50+ sun canopy that is essential for your children.
This is the modern multi-purpose stroller that is able to adapt to your family's needs. It's suitable from birth as a mono-pushchair and after four years, it can be a double pushchair, with the addition of a CLOUD Z iSize car seat or a second-seat unit or Gazelle Cot. The new safety harness that is one-pull makes it easy to ensure your child's safety even when you are wearing your baby on your back.
The Gazelle S is unlike most double strollers as it folds compactly with the two seats firmly attached. This makes it easy to store at home or even in your trunk. A large lower basket can hold up to 25 pounds of shopping, daily necessities or groceries. A detachable shopper basket offers even more space for all of your purchases. A one-pull harness, massive recline, and practical features such as the basket that you can remove for shopping means this is a remarkably flexible and comfortable stroller for families. It also has puncture-proof tires so you aren't worried about flat tires during your trips.
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's designed for siblings or twins and has separate reclined seats, compatibility with carrycots and a light frame that allows for easy maneuvering on uneven terrain.
The adjustable height handle and rear wheel suspension provide the most comfortable ride for children up to 22kg. The tough pneumatic tyres, that are easy to clean, offer a smooth ride when running. pushchair twin -swivel front wheel can be locked in place to make it easier to maneuver around town, and the one pedal easy-lock brake is simple to use.
Our test participants found that the Nipper Double was incredibly easy to maneuver, even when walking on uneven ground or when turning fast in an area with a lot of traffic. They were also impressed by the fact that both seats recline independently, meaning they can be adjusted to suit the individual's needs. This is ideal for napping.
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 testers were impressed with the Nipper double's ability to allow them to take their twin daughters Sydney and Lyla to all sorts of adventures. From spotting wildlife in a forest or rushing to a park for a playdate, they loved it. They were also impressed by how cozy and spacious the two seats are with plenty of space for toddlers growing to stretch out in. Our testers did mention, however, that the lack of parent-facing seating and inability to use car seats with this buggy were a problem, and they would like to have seen more storage space to store shopping items and other accessories.
