1. Baby Jogger City Tour 2 double push chair

The City Tour 2 Double stroller is the smallest in the Baby Jogger range. It's designed to travel and easily fits through standard doorways with its ultra-narrow design, it's also one of the most light double buggies available on the market, weighing just 14lb when folded. This makes it perfect to travel with a toddler and newborn since you won't exceed the allowances for luggage on airlines. It also folds to the size of a bag for travel so that you can put it away in the back of your car when it's not being used.

It's simple to fold the Z-shape by using one hand. Once you've gotten used to it, it is compact and only takes just a few seconds. Our test subject found the auto-lock a bit confusing, and since the handlebar does not lock into the position you push it into and it landed on her leg when she tried to use it. The handlebar was a little shorter than she would like and especially with the large changing bag hanging off of it.

The double stroller isn't as light as other travel buggies. It's got a broad variety of features, and is one the most versatile double strollers available on the market. It's compatible with two carrycots (available separately) It also has several recline positions and a UV 50+ canopy. You can put an additional bassinet to either or both seats to create a travel system.

The four rubber composite wheels are ideal for pavements and urban terrain however they're not made for off-roading. They struggled with long grass and gravel, and there isn't much clearance between the wheel and the bracket which means that mud could get stuck easily. Our testers loved this buggy, and it was able to climb some beautiful dirt hills.

It's a heavier tandem buggy, but it's very easy to use and steer, particularly on smooth roads. It is stable in single and double mode, 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 heavy and will not fit into a standard car boot with the seat in place, but this can be overcome with 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 parents who are new.

The 360 swivel wheel on the front can be locked for easier manoeuvring around town, and the one pedal brake is easy to use.

Our testers found that the Nipper Double is incredibly easy to navigate, even on rough terrain or turning into an area with a lot of traffic. They were also impressed by the fact that both seats recline independently, which means they can be adjusted to meet your individual preferences - perfect for napping.

They also liked that the hoods could be moved forward and back making them easy to adjust in the sun or for wind protection. They didn't provide the same amount of coverage as the Baby Jogger City Mini Hoods. It's probably worth packing an extra rain cover inside the case.

Overall, our test participants loved the way that the Nipper Double made it possible for them to take their twins Sydney and Lyla to all sorts of adventures, from spotting wildlife in the woods to rushing to the park for a quick playdate. They were also awed by how cozy and spacious the two seats are with plenty of space for toddlers growing to play in. The absence of parent-facing seating and the inability to use car seat in this buggy were cited as a drawback by our test participants. They would also have wanted a bigger storage area for shopping and other equipment.
