If you're expecting twins or two young children of various age groups, then a double buggy will help you get out and about. The best double buggy is easy to maneuver and can handle rough surfaces.
They also come with features like large sun canopy, see-through hoods and seats that can be adjusted.
1. Baby Jogger City Tour Double
The City Tour 2 Double is the smallest double stroller in the Baby Jogger range. It's designed for travel, and fits through standard doors easily due to its slim and compact design. It's also among the lightest double buggies on the market weighing only 14lb when folded. This makes it ideal for flying with a newborn and a toddler since you won't exceed the allowances for luggage on airlines. It can also be folded into the size of a small travel bag so you can store it in the back seat 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 and takes minutes to fold. However, our tester found the auto lock to be a bit confusing. Also, since the handlebar wasn't locked into position when you press it, it hit her legs when she was using it. She also thought that the handlebar was on the shorter side. This is especially the case when a large bag for changing is hanging from it.
As opposed to other light travel buggies, this doesn't skimp on features and is among the most feature-packed double strollers that are available. It is compatible with two carrycots (available separately), features several recline positions and an UV 50+ canopy. You can also add a bassinet to one or both seats and transform it into a travel system.
The four rubber composite tires are great for pavements as well as urban terrain. However, they are not made for off-roading. They struggled with long grass and gravel and there wasn't enough clearance between the wheel bracket and the wheel and mud sank easily. However our tester was still enthralled riding this buggy, and it did get up to some pretty muddy hills.
iCandy Orange
The iCandy Orange is a premium double buggy that is a top choice in design and versatility. It is an essential item for parents who want a chic high-end double buggy that will last. The Orange features a sleek lightweight, sleek frame with a large basket that can easily accommodate 2 car seats.

This 2021 update has couple of improvements, including better maneuverability, a bigger shopping basket and a redesigned bumper bar with leatherette cover. The seats are extremely comfortable and have a sculpted look. They are also adjustable and can be placed according to the needs of siblings. iCandy is the first to introduce a "cinema seating" design that allows parents to maintain eye contact with their children. They can also be repositioned to face either parent or to face the world.
It's a heavier tandem buggy however it's extremely easy to use and steer, particularly on smooth roads. It is stable in both double and single mode and even on sloping 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 on, however this can be overcome by careful planning. iCandy has included an infant footmuff and a changing bag included in the price, making this an excellent value for new parents.
3. Joie Evalite Duo
This is a tandem stroller that is extremely light. It comes with two non-reversible seats, which are suitable for infants up to about 3 years of age. The rear seat can also hold car seats.

4. Cybex Gazelle S
If you're expecting twins, this is definitely the stroller for you. It's Cybex first travel system, and it comes with built-in adaptors that make it simple to convert one stroller to a double. The upper adaptors can easily move upwards and downwards to accommodate your height whilst the lower ones can be twisted around and turned over, making it really easy to change from one configuration to another. The Gazelle's seat units recline into a pretty flat position and have an extended, large UV 50+ sun canopy, which is essential for your children.
This is the future-ready, multi-purpose stroller that can adapt to the needs of your family. It can be used from birth as a mono-pushchair and after four years, it can be double pushchair with the addition of a CLOUD Z iSize car seat, a second seat unit, or Gazelle Cot.

5. Nipper Double V5
The Nipper Double V5 from Out 'n' About is an updated version of the award-winning all-terrain buggie. It was designed for twins or siblings and has separate reclining seats, compatibility with carrycots, and an ultra-light frame to allow for easy maneuverability on bumpy terrain.
The height-adjustable handle and rear wheel suspension guarantee a comfortable ride for children up to 22kg, while the durable pneumatic tyres easy to clean and provide a smooth ride for jogging. The 360 swivel wheel on the front can be locked to facilitate moving around town, and the one pedal brake that locks easily is simple to use.
Our testers discovered that the Nipper Double is incredibly easy to maneuver, even on uneven terrain or when turning on an area with a lot of traffic. The fact that the seats can be reclined independently was an enormous hit.
They also loved that the hoods were able to be moved forward and back, which made them easier to adjust to the sun or for wind protection. They did not offer as much coverage as the Baby Jogger City Mini Hoods. It's probably worth packing an extra rain cover inside the case.
Overall, our testers were impressed with the way that Nipper Double let them to take their twin girls Sydney and Lyla on all sorts of adventures, from spotting wildlife in the woods to running to the park to play with their friends. They were also awed by how comfortable and spacious the two seats are, with plenty of room for toddlers to sprawl out in. Our test participants did not agree, however, that the lack of a parent-facing seating and the inability of using car seats with the buggy was a disadvantage, and they would have liked to see more storage space to store shopping items and other accessories.
