tandem double stroller come with features like large sun canopies, as well as transparent hoods, as well as adjustable seats.
1. Baby Jogger City Tour 2 Double
The City Tour 2 Double is the smallest double stroller in the Baby Jogger range. It's designed to travel and easily fits through most standard doorways with its ultra-narrow design. It's also one of the most lightweight double buggies on the market, weighing just 14lbs when folded. This makes it ideal for traveling with a toddler and newborn since you won't exceed the allowances for luggage on airlines. It can also be folded into the size of 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 a breeze, it's incredibly compact when you've mastered it and takes only a few seconds to unfold. However, our tester found the auto lock to be a little confusing. As the handlebar doesn't lock to its place when you press it, it struck her legs when she used it. She also felt the handlebar was a little on the short side and especially with the large changing bag hanging off it.
In contrast to other travel buggies that are lightweight that aren't loaded with features and is one of the most comprehensive double strollers that are available. It can be used with two carrycots (available separately), features several recline positions and has an UV 50+ canopy. You can also add the bassinet to either or both seats, and turn it into a travel system.
The four wheels made of rubber are ideal for pavements as well as urban terrain however they're not made for off-roading - they struggled on long grass and gravel, and there isn't much space between the wheel and the bracket so mud got stuck easily. Our tester loved this buggy, and it was able to climb some pretty muddy hills.
2. iCandy Orange
The iCandy Orange is a premium double buggy that is the best in style and versatility. It is an essential item for parents who want the latest in design and quality. It is also stylish and lasts. The Orange is a stunning sleek, lightweight chassis with a huge basket that can easily fit two car seats. It features a luxurious, interchangeable canopy that is both water repellent and breathable. It comes in trend-led colours such as Pistachio, Fossil, Latte and Rose on a Jet Black frame. There is also the possibility of a built-in ride on board for older sibling to take part in the fun.
This 2021 update has a few changes including improved manoeuvrability and an even bigger, better shopping basket that has been redesigned with a bumper bar and leatherette cover. The seats are extremely comfortable and have a moulded look. They're also adjustable so they can be set to suit the needs of siblings. iCandy have created the first-ever 'cinema' seating concept that allows parents to maintain eye contact with both children. They can also be repositioned to face either parent or towards the world.
It's a heavier buggie in tandem, however, it's very easy to use and drive, especially on smooth pavements. It is stable in both double and single mode and even on sloped ground. It is not as easy to use on public transport since it requires two hands on the handlebar. It is also bulky and will not fit into a standard car boot without the seat in place, but this can be overcome with careful planning. iCandy includes the footmuff and changing bag with the price, so this is an excellent value for new parents.

The upper adaptors can be adjustable to your height, while the lower adaptors can be twisted and flipped to make it easy to change from one configuration to another.

The 360-degree swivel can be locked to help you maneuver around the town. The one-pedal, easy lock brake is also simple to use.
Our testers found that the Nipper Double is incredibly easy to navigate, even on rough terrain or when turning on the middle of a busy road. The fact that the seats can be reclined independently was an enormous hit.
The hoods were also simple to adjust for wind or sun protection. They did not offer the same coverage as Baby Jogger City Mini Hoods. It's probably worth packing an extra rain cover inside the case.
Overall, our test participants were impressed by the Nipper double's ability let them take their twin daughters Sydney and Lyla to all kinds of adventures. From spotting wildlife in a forest to rushing to the park to play with their friends they were thrilled. The testers were also impressed with how spacious and comfortable the two seats are. There is plenty of room for toddlers who are growing. The lack of parent-facing seating and the inability of using a car seat on this buggy were both noted as a disadvantage by our testers. They would also have wanted a bigger storage space for shopping and other equipment.
