1. Baby Jogger City Tour Double
The City Tour 2 Double stroller is the smallest in the Baby Jogger range. It's designed to travel and easily fits through the majority of standard doorways with its ultra-narrow design. It's also one of the most light double buggies available on the market, weighing just 14lbs when folded. It's perfect for traveling with a toddler and a newborn as you won’t exceed airline luggage allowances. It can also be folded up into the size of an incredibly small travel bag making it easy to store in the back of your car.
The one-handed Z-shape fold is easy to fold and it's extremely compact once you get the hang of it. It can take a couple of seconds to unfold. However our tester discovered the auto lock to be a little confusing. As the handlebar isn't locked into place when you press it, it landed on her legs when she was using it. She also felt that the handlebar was a little shorter than she would like and especially with the large changing bag hanging from it.
The double stroller isn't as lightweight as other travel buggies. It has a full variety of features, and is one the most versatile double strollers available on the market. It's compatible with two carry cots (available separately) and offers multiple recline positions, and an UV 50+ canopy. You can even add the bassinet to either or both seats to transform it into a travel set-up.
The four composite wheels made of rubber are ideal for pavements as well as urban terrain however they're not made for off-roading. They struggled on gravel and long grass and there's a lack of space between the wheel and the bracket so mud was able to get stuck easily. That being said our tester was still enthralled using this buggy and it did climb some pretty dirt hills.
iCandy Orange
The iCandy Orange double buggy is the ultimate in style, versatility and quality. It is an essential item for parents who want high-end design, quality and style that lasts. The Orange is a stunning light, sleek chassis with a large basket that will easily take 2 car seats. It comes with a gorgeous, removable canopy that is both water-resistant and ventilated.

They're also adjustable so that they can be placed to meet the needs of siblings. iCandy is the first to introduce a "cinema seating" design that allows parents to keep eye contact with their children. They can be adjusted to face either the parent or the world.
It's a heavier tandem buggie but it's easy to drive and use, especially on smooth pavements. It feels stable in both double and single modes and even on sloped 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 quite bulky and can't be stuffed into a standard car boot with the seat on, but this is a problem that can be overcome with cautious planning. iCandy has included the footmuff and changing bag with the price, so this is an excellent value for new parents.

The 360-swivel front wheel can be locked 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 is incredibly easy to navigate, even on bumpy terrain or when turning in an area with a lot of traffic. They were also impressed by the fact that both seats recline independently. This means they can be adjusted to suit individual needs - ideal for napping.
The hoods were also simple to adjust for sun or wind protection. They didn't provide the same amount of coverage as the Baby Jogger City Mini Hoods. It's probably worth carrying an extra rain cover inside the case.
Overall, our testers loved the way that Nipper Double let them to take their twins Sydney and Lyla on a variety of adventures, from spotting wildlife in the woods, to rush to the park to play with their friends. They were also awed by how comfortable and spacious the two seats are, with plenty of space for growing toddlers to stretch out in. The lack of parent-facing seating and the inability to use a car seat with this buggy were noted as a drawback by our testers. They would have also wanted a bigger storage area for shopping and other equipment.
