If you're expecting twins or have two young children of different age groups, a double buggy can help you out and out and. The ideal double buggy is easy to maneuver and can handle rough surfaces.
They also come with features such as large sun canopies, see-through hoods and adjustable seats.
1. Baby Jogger City Tour Double
The City Tour 2 Double is the smallest double stroller in the Baby Jogger range. It is designed for travel, and fits through doors that are standard with its slim and compact design. It's also one the lightest double buggies available that weighs just 14lbs when folded. It's perfect for traveling with a toddler and infant since you won't exceed the allowances for luggage on airlines. It folds down to the size of a backpack and can be tucked away in the back of your car when it's not in use.
It's simple to fold the Z-shape with one hand. Once you get used to it, it is small and takes only a few seconds. However our tester discovered the auto lock to be a little confusing. As the handlebar isn't locked into position when you press it, it hit her legs when she used it. She also believed that the handlebar was on the short side. most compact double stroller is particularly true when a large changing bag is hanging from it.
In contrast to other travel buggies that are lightweight, this doesn't skimp on features and is one of the most comprehensive double strollers that are available. It's compatible with two carry cots (available separately), has multiple recline positions and an UV 50+ canopy. You can even add a bassinet to one or both seats, and turn this into a travel system.
The four rubber composite tires are great for pavements and urban terrain. However, they were not made for off-roading. They had a hard time 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 using this buggy and it did climb some pretty hilly terrains.
2. iCandy Orange
The iCandy Orange double buggy is the most stylish, versatile and quality. It is a must for parents who want the latest in design and quality. It is also stylish and lasts. The Orange is a stunning, lightweight, streamlined chassis with a large basket that easily fits 2 car seats. It has a luscious interchangeable water repellent and airy canopy with mesh ventilation. It is available in trendy colors - Pistachio, Fossil, Latte and Rose on an Jet Black frame. The option of adding an integrated ride for older siblings is also available.
This 2021 update has a few changes with improved manoeuvrability, and an even larger, better shopping basket that has been redesigned with a bumper bar and leatherette cover. The seats have a moulded feel and are extremely comfortable. They're also adjustable so they can be positioned to suit the needs of siblings. iCandy has included the first-ever "cinema seating" design that allows parents to keep eye contact between both children. They can be moved so that they face the parent or the world.
It's a heavier tandem buggy however it's very easy to use and steer, particularly on smooth pavements. It is stable in both single and double mode and even on sloping ground. It's not as simple to drive on public transport, however, because it requires more than one hand on the handlebar. It's also large and can't be stuffed into the standard car boot with the seat attached, but this can be overcome by careful planning. iCandy have included the footmuff, changing bag and car seat adapters included in the price so this is an excellent value bundle for new parents.

Its sleek frame and compact dimensions make it ideal for shopping malls and narrow city streets. The swivel wheels on front and four-wheel suspension enable it to handle rough or uneven terrain.

If you're expecting twins, this is definitely the stroller you need. It's Cybex first travel system and it has built-in adaptors that allow you to convert a single stroller into a double.

The Gazelle's seat also can recline into flat position. It also has a large UV 50+ sun shade that is essential for children.
Suitable from birth as a mono pushchair and from 4 years old as double, with the addition of the CLOUD Z i-Size car seats or an additional seat unit or Gazelle Cot, this is the future-ready stroller that adapts to your family. The new harness with one-pull makes securing your child an easy and simple process, especially when you're carrying your baby on your back!

5. Nipper Double V5
The Nipper Double V5 is a refreshed version from Out 'n' About of the award-winning, all-terrain buggies. It's designed for siblings or twins, and features independent reclined seats, compatibility carrycots, and a light frame for hassle-free manoeuvring on bumpy terrain.
The height-adjustable handle and rear wheel suspension ensure a comfortable ride for children who weigh up to 22kg. the hard-wearing pneumatic tyres are easy to clean and offer a smooth ride for running. The 360 swivel wheel on the front can be locked in place for easier manoeuvring 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 manoeuvre, even when moving on uneven ground or when turning quickly in the middle of a busy street. They were also impressed by the fact that both seats recline independently, which means they can be adjusted to suit your individual preferences - perfect for napping.
They also appreciated that the hoods could be moved back and forward and back, making them much easier to adjust in the sun or to provide wind protection. They didn't offer the same coverage as Baby Jogger City Mini Hoods. It's probably worth having an extra rain cover in case.
Overall, our testers were impressed with the way that the Nipper Double made it possible for them to take their twin girls Sydney and Lyla on a variety of adventures, from spotting wildlife in the woods, to rush to the park to play with their friends. The testers were also impressed by how comfortable and spacious the two seats are. There is plenty of room to stretch out for toddlers who are growing. The absence of parent-facing seating and the inability of using a car seats on this buggy were both noted as a disadvantage by our test participants. They would also have liked to see a larger storage area for shopping and other gear.
