1. Baby Jogger City Tour Double
The City Tour 2 Double stroller is the smallest model in the Baby Jogger range. It's designed for travel and easily fits through normal doors thanks to its slim design, it's also one of the most light double buggies available that are available, weighing only 14lbs when folded. It's perfect for traveling with a toddler and infant as you won’t over-exceed airline baggage allowances. It folds down to the size of a backpack so you can tuck it away in the back of your car when it's not when you're not using it.
The one-handed, Z-shape folding is easy and it's extremely compact once you've mastered it. It can take a couple of minutes to fold. However our tester discovered the auto lock to be a bit confusing and as the handlebar doesn't lock into place when you press it, it struck her legs when she used it. She also believed that the handlebar was on the shorter side. This is especially the case when a large changing bag hangs from it.
As opposed to other light travel buggies it doesn't sacrifice features. It's one of the most full-featured double strollers on the market. It's compatible with two carry cots (available separately) and features multiple recline positions as well as an UV 50+ canopy. You can put an additional bassinet to one or both seats to make it an ideal travel system.
The four rubber composite tires are great for pavements as well as urban terrain. However, they are not designed for off-roading. They had a hard time with gravel and long grass and there was not enough clearance between the wheel bracket and the wheel, so mud stuck easily. Our testers loved this buggy, and it was able to climb some pretty muddy hills.

They're also adjustable, so they can be positioned to suit the needs of siblings. iCandy have introduced the first-ever 'cinema' seating concept that allows parents to maintain eye contact with their children. They can be repositioned so that they face the parent or the world.
It's a heavier tandem buggy, but it's extremely easy to use and steer, particularly on smooth roads. It feels stable in both double and single mode and even on sloping ground. It's not as easy to drive on public transport, however, because it requires more than one hand to grip the handlebar. It's also quite heavy and will not fit in a standard family car boot with the seat in place, but this is a problem that can be overcome with careful planning. iCandy include the footmuff, changing bag and car seat adapters in the price so this is an excellent value for new parents.

Our testers noted that the Nipper Double was incredibly easy to manoeuvre, even when moving off on uneven ground or turning quickly 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 wind or sun protection. Our testers did discover, however, that they didn't offer the same amount of coverage as similar to the Baby Jogger City Mini hoods which is why it's recommended to bring a rain jacket to be prepared in the event of.
