1. Baby Jogger City Tour Double
The City Tour 2 Double is the smallest double stroller in the Baby Jogger range. It's designed for travel, and can fit through doors that are standard with its slim and
compact double stroller design. It's also one the lightest double buggies on the market weighing only 14lb when folded.

It's easy to fold the Z-shape using one hand. Once you've gotten used to it, it's small and takes only a few just a few seconds. However, our tester found the auto lock a little confusing. As the handlebar doesn't lock into position when you press it, it landed on her legs when she was using it. The handlebar was a little on the short side particularly with a large changing bag hanging from it.
As opposed to other light travel buggies that aren't loaded with features. It's one of the most feature-packed double strollers on the market. It is compatible with two carrycots (available separately) It also has various recline positions, and has an UV 50+ canopy. You can put an additional bassinet to one or both seats to make it a travel system.
The four rubber composite wheels are perfect for pavements and urban terrain, but they're not built for off-roading. They slid on long grass and gravel and there's a lack of space between the bracket and the wheel, which means that mud could get stuck easily. But our tester was still enthralled the buggy and did climb some beautiful dirt hills.

They also appreciated the fact that the hoods could be moved back and forward and back, making them much easier to adjust in the sun or to provide wind protection.
