1. Baby Jogger City Tour 2 Double

The City Tour 2 Double stroller is the smallest in the Baby Jogger range. It's designed to travel and easily fits through most doors with its narrow design, it's also one of the lightest double buggies on the market, weighing just 14lb when folded. It's ideal for travel with a toddler and a newborn since you won't over-exceed airline baggage allowances. It can also be folded up to the size of the size of a small travel bag so you can store it in the back of your car.

The one-handed Z-shape fold is a breeze, it's incredibly compact when you get the hang of it. It takes a few minutes to fold. Our tester found the auto-lock a bit difficult to understand, and also because the handlebar does not lock into the position you push it into, it hit her leg when she was using it. The handlebar was a bit shorter than she would like particularly with a large changing bag hanging off it.

Unlike other lightweight travel buggies that aren't loaded with features. It's one of the most comprehensive double travel buggy strollers on the market. It is compatible with two carrycots (available separately) and has various recline positions, and has a UV 50+ canopy. You can also add a bassinet on one or both seats to create an ideal travel system.

The four rubber composite wheels are ideal for pavements and urban terrain however they're not made for off-roading - they struggled on long grass and gravel and there's a lack of clearance between the bracket and the wheel, which means that mud could get stuck easily. Our tester loved this buggy, and it was able to climb some beautiful muddy hills.

It's a heavier buggie in tandem, however, it's very easy to operate and drive, especially on smooth pavements. It is stable in single and double mode, and also on sloped ground. It's not as easy to use on public transport since it requires two hands on the handlebar. It is also bulky and can't be stuffed into the standard car boot with the seat in place, but this can be overcome by careful planning. iCandy includes a footmuff and changing bag included in the price, making this a great value package for parents who are just starting out.

Our testers discovered that the Nipper Double is incredibly easy to navigate, even on bumpy terrain or when turning in the middle of a busy road. They were also impressed by the fact that both seats recline independently, meaning they can be adjusted to fit individual needs - ideal for napping.

They also loved that the hoods were able to be moved back and forward making them easy to adjust in the sun or for wind protection. Our testers did find however that they didn't offer an extensive amount of coverage when compared to similar to the Baby Jogger City Mini hoods, so it might be worth packing a rain cover just in case.

From seeing wildlife in the forest to rushing to the park to play with their friends They loved it. The testers were also awed by how comfortable and spacious the two seats are.

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 wanted a bigger storage space to store shopping items and other accessories.
