1. Baby Jogger City Tour 2 Double
The City Tour 2 Double stroller is the smallest model in the Baby Jogger range. It's designed for travel and easily fits through doors with its narrow design, it's also one of the lightest double buggies on the market weighing just 14lb when folded. This makes it ideal for flying with a newborn and a toddler because you won't have to exceed the luggage allowances of airlines.

It's simple to fold the Z-shape using one hand. Once you're used to it, it is small and takes only a few just a few seconds. However, our tester discovered 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 used it. She also felt that the handlebar was a little too short and especially with the large changing bag hanging from it.
This double stroller isn't as light as other buggies. It has a full array of features and is among the most versatile double strollers on the market. It is compatible with two carrycots (available separately), features multiple recline positions, and an UV 50+ canopy. You can even add a bassinet to one or both seats and transform it into a travel set-up.
The four wheels made of rubber are perfect for pavements and urban terrain however they're not made for off-roading. They struggled on long grass and gravel and there's a lack of clearance between the bracket and the wheel, so mud was able to get stuck easily. However our tester was still enthralled riding this buggy, and it did climb some beautiful hilly terrains.

The hoods were also easy to adjust for wind or sun protection. They didn't offer as much coverage as the Baby Jogger City Mini Hoods. It might be worth carrying an extra rain cover in case.

They would have also preferred a larger storage area for shopping and other gear.
