1. pushchair twin is the smallest double stroller in the Baby Jogger range. It was designed specifically for travel, and fits through standard doors easily due to its slim and compact design. It's also among the lightest double buggies you can find that weighs just 14lbs when folded. It's ideal for travel with a newborn and toddler as you won’t exceed the allowances for luggage on airlines. It also folds up to the size of a travel bag and can be tucked away in the back of your car when not in use.
The one-handed, Z-shape folding is a breeze, it's incredibly compact when you master it. It takes a few seconds to unfold. Our tester found the auto lock a little confusing, and because the handlebar does not lock into its position when you push it, it hit her leg when she was using it. She also thought that the handlebar was on the short side. This is particularly true when a large changing bag is hanging from it.
As opposed to other light travel buggies that aren't loaded with features and is one of the most feature-packed double strollers on the market. It's compatible with two carry cots (available separately), features multiple recline positions as well as an UV 50+ canopy. You can put an additional bassinet to one or both seats to make this an all-in-one travel system.
The four tires made of rubber are great for pavements as well as urban terrain. However, they are not designed for off-roading. They had trouble with gravel and long grass and there was not enough clearance between the wheel bracket and wheel which meant that mud could get stuck easily. Our testers loved this buggy and was able to climb some pretty dirt hills.

The 360-degree swivel can be locked in place to allow for easier maneuvering around town. The one-pedal, easy lock brake is also easy to use.
Our testers found the Nipper Double was incredibly easy to manoeuvre, even when taking on uneven ground or when turning swiftly in a busy street. The feature that the seats can be reclined independently was also an enormous hit.
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 for wind protection. Our test subjects did notice however that they did not provide the same amount of coverage compared to something like the Baby Jogger City Mini hoods, so it might be worth packing a rain cover just in case.
Overall, our testers were impressed by the Nipper double's ability to let them take their twin daughters Sydney and Lyla to all sorts of adventures. From exploring the forest for wildlife or rushing to a park for a playdate, they loved it. They were also amazed by how cozy and spacious the two seats are, with plenty of room for toddlers to sprawl out in. Our testers did mention that the absence of parent-facing seating and the inability to use car seats with the buggy was a disadvantage and they would have liked to see more storage space for shopping and other gear.
