The City Tour 2 Double stroller is the smallest of the Baby Jogger range.

The one-handed, Z-shape fold is easy to fold, it's incredibly compact when you get the hang of it and takes only a few seconds to unfold. Our tester found the auto-lock a little difficult to understand, and also because the handlebar does not lock into the position you push it into and it landed on her leg when she tried to use it. She also thought that the handlebar was on the shorter side. This is particularly true when a large changing bag hangs from it.
As opposed to other light travel buggies that aren't loaded with features and is among the most feature-packed double strollers that are available. It can be used with two carrycots (available separately) and has various recline positions, and an UV 50+ canopy. You can add a bassinet on either or both seats to create a travel system.
The four rubber composite tires are great for pavements and urban terrain. However, they're not designed for off-roading. They struggled with gravel and long grass and there wasn't enough clearance between the wheel bracket and wheel and mud sank easily. However, our tester still loved riding this buggy, and it did manage to climb some pretty dirt hills.
