1. double running buggy is the smallest in the Baby Jogger range. It was designed specifically to travel and fits through standard doorways easily with its slim and compact design. It's also among the lightest double buggies you can find with a weight of just 14lbs when folded. It's ideal for travel with a newborn and toddler as you won’t over-exceed airline baggage allowances. It can also be folded to the size of a small travel bag, making it easy to store in the back seat of your car.
The one-handed, Z-shape fold is a breeze and is extremely compact once you get the hang of it and takes minutes to fold. However our tester found the auto lock to be a bit confusing and as the handlebar wasn't locked into position when you press it, it hit her legs when she used it. She also felt the handlebar was a little on the short side particularly with a large changing bag hanging from it.
This double stroller isn't as lightweight as other travel buggies. It has a full range of features, and is one the most versatile double strollers available on the market. It's compatible with two carry cots (available separately), has multiple recline positions and an UV 50+ canopy. You can also add the bassinet to one or both seats to make this a travel system.
The four composite wheels made of rubber are perfect for pavements and urban terrain however, they're not designed for off-roading. They struggled on long grass and gravel and there's not much clearance between the wheel and bracket so mud got stuck easily. Our testers loved this buggy and was able to climb beautiful muddy hills.

The height-adjustable handle and rear wheel suspension offer an enjoyable ride for children up to 22kg. The tough pneumatic tyres, that are easy to clean, also provide a smooth ride when running. The 360 swivel front wheel can be locked in place to make it easier to maneuver around town, and the one pedal easy-lock brake is simple to use.
Our test participants found that the Nipper Double was incredibly easy to manoeuvre, even when taking on uneven ground or when turning swiftly in a busy street. The fact that the seats can be reclined independently was also an enormous hit.
The hoods were also easy to adjust for sun or wind protection. They did not offer the same coverage as Baby Jogger City Mini Hoods. It's probably worth carrying an extra rain cover inside the case.
Overall, our testers loved the way that the Nipper Double allowed them to take their twins Sydney and Lyla on a variety of adventures, from spotting wildlife in the woods, to rushing to the park for a quick playdate. The testers were also awed with how spacious and comfortable the two seats are. There is plenty of room for toddlers who are growing. The lack of parent facing seating and the inability of using a car seats with this buggy were noted as a problem by our test participants. They would have also liked to see a larger storage area for shopping and other equipment.
