1. Baby Jogger City Tour 2 Double
The City Tour 2 Double stroller is the smallest of the Baby Jogger range. It is designed for travel, and can fit through doors that are standard with its ultra-narrow shape. It's also among the lightest double buggies available that weighs just 14lbs when folded. It's perfect for trips with a toddler and infant because you won't be able to exceed airline luggage allowances. It folds down to the size of a bag for travel and can be tucked away in the back of your car when not being used.
It's simple to fold the Z-shape using one hand. Once you're used to it, it's compact and can be folded in a matter of just a few seconds. Our tester found the auto-lock a little confusing, and since the handlebar does not lock into its position when you push it, it hit her leg when she used it. She also thought that the handlebar was on the shorter side. This is particularly true when a large change bag hangs from it.
As opposed to other light travel buggies that aren't loaded with features and is one of the most full-featured double strollers available. It is compatible with two carrycots (available separately) and has various recline positions, and comes with a UV 50+ canopy. You can put the bassinet to either or both seats to create an all-in-one travel system.
The four rubber composite wheels are perfect for pavements and urban terrain, but they're not built for off-roading. They struggled with long grass and gravel, and there isn't much clearance between the bracket and the wheel, so mud got stuck easily. That being said our tester was still enthralled using this buggy and it did manage to climb some pretty dirt hills.

The hoods were also simple to adjust for sun or wind protection. Our testers did find, however, that they didn't offer an enormous amount of coverage compared to similar to the Baby Jogger City Mini hoods which is why it's recommended to bring a rain jacket just in case.
