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 doorways easily with its narrow and slim design. It's also one the lightest double buggies available that weighs just 14lbs when folded. It's perfect for trips with a toddler and infant as you won’t exceed airline luggage allowances. It also folds up to the size of a travel bag and can be tucked away in the back of your car when not being used.
The one-handed, Z-shape fold is a breeze and it's extremely compact once you've mastered it and takes seconds to unfold. However, our tester found the auto lock to be a bit confusing. Also, since the handlebar doesn't lock into place when you press it, it struck her legs when she was using it. The handlebar was a little shorter than she would like and especially with the large changing bag hanging off it.
Unlike other lightweight travel buggies that aren't loaded with features and is one of the most full-featured double strollers available. It's compatible with two carry cots (available separately) and offers multiple recline positions, and an UV 50+ canopy. You can also add an additional bassinet to one or both seats, and turn this into a travel system.
The four composite wheels made of rubber are ideal for pavements and urban terrain however, they're not designed for off-roading. They slid on gravel and long grass, and there isn't much clearance between the wheel and bracket so mud was able to get stuck easily. However our testers still enjoyed the buggy and did get up to some beautiful hilly terrains.

Our test participants found that the Nipper Double is incredibly easy to navigate, even on bumpy terrain or when turning in an area with a lot of traffic. The fact that the seats can be reclined independently was an enormous hit.
The hoods were also simple to adjust for sun or wind protection. Our testers did find, however, that they didn't offer an extensive amount of coverage as something like the Baby Jogger City Mini hoods and it's worth packing a rain cover to be prepared in the event of.
Overall, our testers were impressed with the way that Nipper Double let them to take their twins Sydney and Lyla to all sorts of adventures, from seeing wildlife in the woods to rushing to the park to play with their friends.
