1. Baby Jogger City Tour Double

The City Tour 2 Double stroller is the smallest model in the Baby Jogger range. It was designed specifically for travel, and fits through standard doors easily due to its narrow and slim design.

It's easy to fold the Z-shape by using one hand. Once you've gotten used to it, it is compact and can be folded in a matter of just a few seconds. Our test subject found the auto-lock a little difficult to understand, and also because the handlebar doesn't lock in the position you push it into, it hit her leg when she tried to use it. She also felt that the handlebar was a little shorter than she would like and especially with the large changing bag hanging from it.

In contrast to other travel buggies that are lightweight that aren't loaded with features. It's one of the most feature-packed double strollers that are available. It's compatible with two carry cots (available separately) and features multiple recline positions as well as an UV 50+ canopy. You can also add the bassinet to either or both seats and transform it into a travel system.

The four tires made of rubber are great for pavements as well as urban terrain. However, they were not designed for off-roading. They struggled with gravel and long grass and there was not enough clearance between the wheel bracket and wheel, so mud stuck easily. However our tester was still enthralled riding this buggy, and it did climb some beautiful dirt hills.
