1. Babyzen YOYO2
The Babyzen YOYO2 has earned itself a reputation as the ultimate light-weight buggy for city dwellers and jet-setters alike, due to its extremely nimble handling and foldable design that can be tucked away in the overhead luggage of aeroplanes. This latest version features independent suspension on all 4 wheels comprised of Hytrel elastomer. This allows it to 'perfectly navigate all terrains and types'.
The frame's base YOYO2 frame, curved fabric bassinet and six-month colour pack come together to form a stylish pushchair that's easy to look at, with a subtle but elegant design and a tasteful branding.

2. Evenflo Pivot Xplore
Evenflo Pivot Xplore stroller wagon is a great option for parents looking for a stroller that is versatile. The Evenflo Pivot can be transformed from a stroller to the wagon by turning the handle. Parents can then decide which mode is best for their journey. The wagon can accommodate two or more children between 6 months to 5 years old. It comes with a large storage basket that can hold all your necessities on the go.
The Xplore also has two canopies that rotate from front to back, ensuring ample sun coverage for all family members. It also has a footwell that is not as deep or large as other wagons, so it may not be suitable for longer trips or napping.

3. Delta Children LX Side-by-Side
This basic double stroller from Delta Children is an excellent option for parents seeking a budget-friendly secondary travel stroller. It scored a dazzling score in our Strollers and Multiples test for weight and folded size that means it's light, compact when folded and easy to lift into a car trunk or closet. It also has an adjustable reclining seat that can be positioned in several positions as well as a parent cup holder. Other key features include 360-degree shock-absorbing front wheels and two large storage bags that hang from the ceiling.
It performed better in our push and turn test than many of the strollers we tested, but it is still difficult to maneuver over uneven terrain or through narrow doors. The sunshades it has are among the ones we tested the smallest, providing only a direct overhead coverage and no peekaboo windows. The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 has a more extensive canopy.
It took us less than 3 minutes to assemble the Delta with a manual. The parts are all non-required and required tools. However, it is missing some critical features that we think it is important to consider as non-negotiable features in a double stroller such as an extra-large basket, and reclining seats with adjustable leg rests.
