1. Baby Jogger City Tour Double

The City Tour 2 Double is the smallest double stroller within the Baby Jogger range. It was designed specifically for travel, and can fit through standard doors easily due to its ultra-narrow shape. It's also one the lightest double buggies available that weighs just 14lbs when folded. It's perfect for trips with a newborn and toddler as you won’t exceed airline luggage allowances. It can also be folded into the size of a small double stroller travel bag making it easy to store in the back of your car.

The one-handed, Z-shape fold is a breeze and is extremely compact once you've mastered it. It takes a few minutes to fold. However our tester discovered the auto lock to be a little confusing. 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 short side. This is especially true when a large bag for changing is hanging from it.

This double stroller is not as lightweight as other travel buggies. It's got a broad array of features and is among the most versatile double strollers available on the market. It's compatible with two carrycots (available separately), features several recline positions and an UV 50+ canopy. You can put a bassinet on either or both seats to make this a travel system.

The four wheels made of rubber are ideal for pavements and urban terrain however, they're not designed for off-roading - they struggled on gravel and long grass and there's not much clearance between the bracket and the wheel, which means that mud could get stuck easily. However our tester was still enthralled using this buggy and it did manage to climb some pretty hilly terrains.

Our testers discovered that the Nipper Double is incredibly easy to navigate, even on rough terrain or turning into 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. They did not offer the same coverage as Baby Jogger City Mini Hoods. It might be worth packing an extra rain cover in case.
