It's designed to travel and easily fits through most normal doors thanks to its slim design, it's also one of the lightest double buggies on the market weighing just 14lbs when folded. This makes it perfect for traveling with a baby and toddler because you won't have to exceed the luggage allowances of airlines. It can also be folded into the size of a small double buggy travel bag which means you can put it in the back seat of your car.
The one-handed, Z-shape folding is easy to fold and it's extremely compact once you've mastered it and takes minutes to fold. Our tester found the auto lock a little confusing, and because the handlebar doesn't lock into place when you push it and it landed on her leg when she used it. She also believed that the handlebar was on the short side. This is especially true when a large changing bag is hanging from it.
Unlike other lightweight travel buggies it doesn't sacrifice features and is among the most comprehensive double strollers that are available. It's compatible with two carrycots (available separately) and has multiple recline positions, and has a UV 50+ canopy. You can even add an additional bassinet to one or both seats to transform it into a travel set-up.
The four rubber composite tires are ideal for pavements and urban terrain. However, they were not designed for off-roading. They had trouble with gravel and long grass and there was not enough clearance between the wheel bracket and the wheel and mud sank easily. But our testers still enjoyed the buggy and did climb some pretty muddy hills.
iCandy Orange
The iCandy Orange double buggy is the most stylish, versatile and quality. It is a must-have for parents looking for a stylish and durable double buggy that will last. The Orange has a beautiful, lightweight, streamlined chassis with a huge basket that will easily take two car seats.

They can also be moved to face either the parent or the towards the world.
It's a heavier tandem buggie however, it's very easy to operate and drive especially on smooth pavements. It's stable in single and double mode, and even on sloping ground. It's not as simple to use on public transport as it requires two hands on the handlebar. It is also bulky and won't fit in a standard car boot without the seat on, however this can be overcome by careful planning. iCandy has included a footmuff and changing bag with the price, making this a great value package for parents who are just starting out.

4. Cybex Gazelle S
This is the stroller to get if you are expecting twins. It's the first travel system made by Cybex and has built-in adaptors which make it easy to transform a single pushchair to a double. The upper adaptors are able to move up and down to match your height while the lower ones can be twisted around and rotated which makes it a breeze to change from one configuration to another.

5. Nipper Double V5

The height-adjustable handle and rear wheel suspension ensure the comfort of children who weigh up to 22kg. the hard-wearing pneumatic tyres are easy to wipe clean and provide a smooth ride for jogging. The 360-swivel front wheel can be locked in place to make it easier to maneuver around town, and the one pedal easy-lock brake is simple to use.
Our testers noted that the Nipper Double was incredibly easy to maneuver, even taking off on uneven ground or turning quickly in the middle of a busy street. The feature that the seats can be reclined independently was an enormous hit.
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. Our test subjects did notice, however, that they didn't provide an enormous amount of coverage as similar to the Baby Jogger City Mini hoods and it's worth packing a rain cover in case of need.
Overall, our testers were impressed with the way that the Nipper Double made it possible for them to take their twin girls Sydney and Lyla to all sorts of adventures, from spotting wildlife in the woods, to running to the park for a playdate. The testers were also awed with how spacious and comfortable the two seats are. There's plenty of room for growing toddlers. The lack of parent facing seating and the inability of using a car seat in this buggy were cited as a drawback by our testers. They would also have wanted a bigger storage area for shopping and other gear.
