1. Baby Jogger City Tour 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 light double buggies available on the market weighing just 14lb when folded. This makes it ideal to travel with a baby and toddler because you won't have to exceed the allowances for luggage on airlines. It folds down to the size of a travel bag so you can tuck it away in the back of your car when it's not being used.
The one-handed Z-shape fold is easy and it's extremely compact once you master it and takes only a few seconds to unfold. However our tester discovered the auto lock to be a little confusing. As the handlebar isn't locked into position when you press it, it hit her legs when she was using it. She also believed that the handlebar was on the short side. double tandem pushchair is particularly true when a large bag for changing hangs from it.
As opposed to other light travel buggies, this doesn't skimp on features and is one of the most full-featured double strollers available. It's compatible with two carry cots (available separately) It also has multiple recline positions and an UV 50+ canopy. You can add the bassinet to either or both seats to make this an all-in-one travel system.
The four rubber composite tires are ideal for pavements and urban terrain. However, they were not made for off-roading. They struggled with long grass and gravel and there wasn't enough clearance between the wheel bracket and wheel which meant that mud could get stuck easily. Our testers loved this buggy, and it was able to climb some pretty hillocks that were muddy.

It's not as simple to drive on public transportation, however, since it requires more than one hand on the handlebar. It's also a little bulky and won't fit into a standard car boot with the seat in place, but this is a problem that can be overcome by thoughtful planning. iCandy has included the footmuff and changing bag included in the price, making this an excellent value for new parents.

The hoods were also easy to adjust for sun or wind protection. Our testers did find, however, that they did not provide an enormous amount of coverage as something like the Baby Jogger City Mini hoods, so it might be worthwhile to pack a rain cover just in case.
