The Best Double Buggy Strollers
If you're expecting twins, or have two young children of various age groups, then a double buggy will help you get out and about. The ideal Double Buggy For Twins buggy is simple to maneuver and can handle rough surfaces.
These vehicles also come with features such as large sun canopies, as well as see-through hoods, as well adjustable seats.
1. Baby Jogger City Tour 2 Double
The City Tour 2 Double is the smallest double buggy travel system stroller in the Baby Jogger range. It's made for travel and easily fits through normal doors thanks to its slim design. It's also one of the lightest double buggy side by side buggies on the market weighing just 14lbs when folded. It's perfect for trips with a newborn and toddler since you won't over-exceed airline baggage allowances. It can also be folded up into the size of a small travel bag which means you can put it in the back seat of your car.
It's simple to fold the Z-shape using one hand. Once you've gotten used to it, it is compact and can be folded in a matter of seconds. Our test subject found the auto-lock a little confusing, and because the handlebar doesn't lock into place when you push it and it landed on her leg when she tried to use it. She also thought the handlebar was on the short side. This is especially true when a large change bag hangs from it.
Unlike other lightweight double stroller travel buggies it doesn't sacrifice features and is among the most feature-packed double strollers on the market. It's compatible with two carry cots (available separately) It also features multiple recline positions as well as an UV 50+ canopy. You can add a bassinet on one or both seats to make it a travel system.
The four tires made of rubber are great for pavements as well as urban terrain. However, they're not designed for off-roading. They had a hard time with gravel and long grass and there was not enough clearance between the wheel bracket and the wheel which meant that mud could get stuck easily. Our tester loved this vehicle and was able to climb beautiful muddy hills.

They can also be moved to face either parent or world facing.
It's a heavier buggie in tandem, but it's easy to drive and use, especially on smooth pavements. It is stable in both double and single mode and even on sloped ground. It's not as simple to drive on public transport, however, because 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 attached however this can be overcome by careful planning. iCandy has included the footmuff, changing bag and car seat adapters included in the price so this is an excellent value bundle for parents who are new.
