The Best Double Buggy StrollersA double buggy is perfect for twins who are due or have two children of different ages. The ideal double buggy is easy to maneuver and is able to take on rough surfaces.
They also come with features like large sun canopies, see-through hoods and seats that can be adjusted.1. Baby Jogger City Tour Double
The City Tour 2 double infant strollers is the smallest double stroller in the Baby Jogger range. It is designed for travel, and can fit through standard doorways easily with its narrow and slim design. It's also among the lightest double buggies available that weighs just 14lbs when folded. It's perfect for traveling with a toddler and infant as you won’t over-exceed airline baggage allowances. It also folds 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 using one hand. Once you've gotten used to it, it is small and takes only a few seconds. However our tester discovered the auto lock to be a bit confusing. Also, since the handlebar isn't locked into position when you press it, it hit her legs when she used it. She also thought the handlebar was on the short side. This is particularly true when a large change bag hangs from it.
This double stroller is not as lightweight as other travel buggies. It has a full range of features, and is among the most versatile double strollers available on the market. It's compatible with two carry cots (available separately), has multiple recline positions and a UV 50+ canopy. You can even add the bassinet to either or both seats to transform it into a travel set-up.
The four rubber composite tires are great for pavements and urban terrain. However, they were not designed for off-roading. They had trouble with long grass and gravel and there was not enough clearance between the wheel bracket and wheel, so mud stuck easily. However our testers still enjoyed the buggy and did manage to climb some pretty muddy hills.
iCandy Orange
The iCandy Orange is a premium double buggy that is the ultimate in design and versatility. It is an essential item for parents looking for a stylish high-end double buggy that will last. The Orange is a stunning sleek, lightweight chassis that has a massive basket that can easily fit 2 car seats. It has a luxurious, adjustable water repellent and breathable canopy with mesh ventilation. It comes in trendy colours - Pistachio, Fossil, Latte and Rose on a Jet Black frame. The option to add a built-in ride to older siblings is also available.
This 2021 update has a few changes including improved manoeuvrability and an even larger, better shopping basket that has been redesigned with a bumper bar and leatherette cover. The seats are very comfortable and feature a moulded appearance. They're also adjustable, so they can be positioned to suit siblings' needs. iCandy has introduced the first "cinema seating" style that allows parents to maintain eye contact with their children. They can be moved so that they face the parent or the world.
It's a heavier tandem double stroller buggie but it's easy to operate and drive, especially on smooth pavements. It's stable in single and double mode, and even on sloped terrain. It is not as easy to use on public transport because it requires two hands on the handlebar. It's also quite heavy and will not fit in a standard family car boot with the seat on, however this can be overcome with some careful planning. iCandy has included the footmuff, changing bag and car seat adapters included in the price, so it's an excellent value bundle for new parents.
3. Joie Evalite Duo
This is a light tandem stroller. It comes with two seats that are not reversible that are suitable for children aged from birth to around 3 years old. In addition, it can also accommodate a car seat in the rear.

It has a sleek frame and a small size, which makes it suitable for narrow city streets and shopping malls. The swivel wheel on the front and four-wheel suspension allow it to handle rough or uneven terrain.
Another great feature is that this buggy can fit a car seat in the back seat, which makes it ideal for families who plan on traveling. It comes with the one-click fold that secures it and is compatible with a variety of Joie infant car seats. It also comes with a large basket and comfortable seats for both children. The only issue is that the front seat doesn't recline completely, which can be a problem for infants. But, it's an excellent option for families who are seeking a low-cost and light stroller.
4. Cybex Gazelle S
If you're expecting twins, this is definitely the stroller you need. It's the Cybex first travel system with built-in adaptors that make it simple to transform from one stroller to a double. The upper adaptors are able to move up and down to match your height while the lower ones can be turned around and flipped over which makes it a breeze to switch from one configuration to another. The Gazelle's seat can recline into an upright position. It also comes with a large UV 50+ sun shade that is essential for children.
From birth, it is mono pushchair and up to 4 years old as a double when you add the of the CLOUD Z i-Size car seats or a second seat unit or Gazelle Cot, this is the future-ready stroller that will adapt to your family. The new one-pull harness makes the process of securing your child an easy and simple procedure - perfect when you're wearing the baby on your back!
Unlike most double strollers, the Gazelle S folds down compactly with both seats attached making it easy to squeeze into storage spaces at home or in your trunk.

5. Nipper double tandem pushchair V5
The Nipper Double V5 from Out 'n' About is a refreshed version of the award-winning all-terrain buggy. It is specifically designed for twins or siblings, and comes with independent reclining chairs, compatibility with carrycots and a Lightweight twin buggy framework for easy manoeuvrability on bumpy terrain.
The height adjustable handle and rear wheel suspension guarantee an enjoyable ride for children who weigh up to 22kg. the hard-wearing pneumatic tyres are easy to clean and give a smooth ride when jogging. The 360 swivel front wheel can be locked to facilitate moving around the city, and the single pedal brake that locks easily is simple to use.
Our testers noted that the Nipper Double was incredibly easy to maneuver, even walking on uneven ground or when turning swiftly in the middle of a busy street. The fact that the seats can be reclined independently was also a big hit.
The hoods were also easy to adjust for wind or sun protection. They did not offer as much coverage as the Baby Jogger City Mini Hoods. It's worth having an additional rain cover in the case.
Overall, our test participants loved the way the Nipper Double made it possible for them to take their twins Sydney and Lyla on all sorts of adventures, from spotting wildlife in the woods, to running to the park to play with their friends. The testers were also awed by how spacious and comfortable the two seats are. There's plenty of room for toddlers who are growing. Our testers did mention, however, that the lack of a parent-facing seating and the inability of using car seats in the buggy was a disadvantage and they would like to see more storage space for shopping and other gear.
