1. Baby Jogger City Tour 2 Double
The City Tour 2 Double is the smallest double stroller in the Baby Jogger range. It's designed to travel and easily fits through standard doorways with its ultra-narrow design. It's also one of the most lightweight double buggies on the market, weighing just 14lb when folded. This makes it ideal for traveling with a newborn and a toddler as you won't be exceeding the allowances for luggage on airlines.

The one-handed, Z-shape folding is easy to fold, it's incredibly compact when you master it. It can take a couple of minutes to fold. However, our tester found the auto lock to be a bit confusing and as the handlebar wasn't locked to its place when you press it, it hit her legs when she used it. The handlebar was a little shorter than she would like and especially with the large changing bag hanging from it.
This double stroller is not as lightweight as other travel buggies. It's got a broad range of features, and is among the most versatile double strollers available on the market.

You can add an additional bassinet to one or both seats to make it 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's a lack of space between the wheel and the bracket which means that mud could get stuck easily. That being said, our tester still loved using this buggy and it did climb some beautiful muddy hills.

It's not as easy to drive on public transportation, however, since it requires more than one hand to grip the handlebar. It's also large and will not fit into a standard car boot without the seat on, however this can be overcome by careful planning. iCandy includes the footmuff and changing bag with the price, making this a great value package for new parents.

The hoods were also simple to adjust for wind or sun protection. Our test subjects did notice, however, that they didn't offer the same amount of coverage compared to something like the Baby Jogger City Mini hoods, so it might be worth packing a rain cover in case of need.
