1. Baby Jogger City Tour 2 Double
The City Tour 2 Double stroller is the smallest in the Baby Jogger range. It is designed for travel, and can fit through doors that are standard with its slim and compact design. It's also one the lightest double buggies available with a weight of just 14lbs when folded. This makes it perfect for traveling with a toddler and newborn since you won't exceed the allowances for luggage on airlines.

It's simple to fold the Z-shape by using one hand. Once you're used to it, it is compact and only takes seconds. However our tester discovered the auto lock to be a little confusing. As the handlebar isn't locked into place when you press it, it struck her legs when she was using it. She also felt the handlebar was a bit shorter than she would like particularly with a large changing bag hanging off of it.
This double stroller isn't as light as other buggies. It's got a broad array of features and is among the most versatile double strollers available on the market. It can be used with two carrycots (available separately) and has several recline positions and has an UV 50+ canopy. You can also add an additional bassinet to either or both seats to create a travel system.
The four tires made of rubber are ideal for pavements and urban terrain. However, they are not designed for off-roading. They had a hard time with gravel and long grass and there was not enough clearance between the wheel bracket and wheel, so mud stuck easily. Our tester loved this vehicle and was able to climb some beautiful hillocks that were muddy.

It's not as easy to drive on public transport, however, because it requires more than one hand to grip the handlebar. It's also a bit heavy and will not fit in the standard car boot for families with the seat on, but this is a problem that can be overcome with careful planning. iCandy includes a footmuff and changing bag included in the cost, so it's an excellent value package for parents who are just starting out.
