1. Baby Jogger City Tour Double
The City Tour 2 Double stroller is the smallest of the Baby Jogger range. It's designed 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 ideal for traveling with a baby and toddler because you won't have to exceed the allowances for luggage on airlines. It can also be folded into the size of a small travel bag which means you can put it in the back seat of your car.
The one-handed, Z-shape fold is a breeze, it's incredibly compact when you've mastered it and takes only a few seconds to unfold. Our tester found the auto lock somewhat difficult to understand, and also because the handlebar doesn't lock in its position when you push it, it hit her leg when she tried to use it. The handlebar was a bit on the short side, especially with a big changing bag hanging off it.
This double stroller isn't as light as other buggies. It's got a broad array of features and is one 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 a bassinet on either or both seats to make this an ideal 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 struggled with gravel and long grass and there wasn't enough clearance between the wheel bracket and wheel, so mud stuck easily. However our tester was still enthralled the buggy and did get up to some pretty dirt hills.

It's also quite bulky and can't be stuffed into the standard car boot for families with the seat attached but this can be overcome with some careful planning. iCandy includes a footmuff and changing bag in the price, making this a great value package for new parents.

Our test participants found that the Nipper Double was incredibly easy to maneuver, even when walking on uneven ground or turning fast in the middle of a busy street. The feature that the seats can be reclined independently was a big hit.
The hoods were also simple to adjust for sun or wind protection. They did not offer the same amount of coverage as the Baby Jogger City Mini Hoods. It's worth carrying an extra rain cover inside the case.
Overall, our testers were impressed with the Nipper double's ability let them take their twin daughters Sydney and Lyla to all sorts of adventures.
