1. Baby Jogger City Tour 2 Double
The City Tour 2 Double is the smallest double stroller within the Baby Jogger range. It's made for travel and easily fits through the majority of normal doors thanks to its slim design, it's also one of the most light double buggies available on the market, weighing just 14lbs when folded. It's perfect for trips with a newborn and toddler as you won’t over-exceed airline baggage allowances. It can also be folded into an incredibly small travel bag so you can store it in the back of your car.
The one-handed, Z-shape folding is a breeze, it's incredibly compact when you master it. It takes a few only a few seconds to unfold. However, our tester found 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 was using it. She also thought the handlebar was on the shorter side. This is especially the case when a large change bag hangs from it.
As opposed to other light travel buggies it doesn't sacrifice features and is one of the most comprehensive double strollers that are available. It can be used with two carrycots (available separately) It also has several recline positions and comes with an UV 50+ canopy. You can put an additional bassinet to either or both seats to make it a travel system.
The four rubber composite tires are ideal for pavements and urban terrain. However, they are not made for off-roading. They had a hard time with long grass and gravel and there wasn't enough clearance between the wheel bracket and the wheel and mud sank easily. That being said, our tester still loved using this buggy and it did climb some pretty dirt hills.

They also appreciated that the hoods were able to be moved back and forward making them easy to adjust in the sun or to provide wind protection. Our test subjects did notice however that they did not provide an enormous amount of coverage when compared to something like the Baby Jogger City Mini hoods and it's worth packing a rain cover to be prepared in the event of.

They were also impressed by how comfortable and spacious the two seats are, with plenty of space for growing toddlers to sprawl out in. The absence of parent-facing seating and the inability to use a car seat on this buggy were both noted as a disadvantage by our testers.
