Bugaboo | Tandem Double Stroller | Best Tandem for NYC Families with Two Kids
The Bugaboo Kangaroo Double by Bugaboo is a tandem double stroller that carries two children front-to-back on the same chassis as the single Kangaroo. It ships with both seats included and weighs 36.5 lbs with two seats assembled. The main seat handles children from about 6 months to 4 years (up to 50 lbs); the sibling seat is designed for children from about 6 to 40 months (up to 40 lbs). XL 12" rear wheels and the same suspension system as the single Kangaroo handle all-terrain NYC use, and car seat adapters are included in the box for travel system use from day one. With 20+ configurations when combining the bassinet, car seat, and wheeled board (all sold separately), it adapts as your family's needs change.
One important note on configuration: the Kangaroo Double can accommodate one bassinet in the lower position alongside the main seat above, making it suitable for a mixed-age setup — a newborn below and a toddler above. It is not configured for two bassinets simultaneously, so it is not suitable as a twin newborn stroller. For twins from birth, see the Bugaboo Donkey 6 Twin. Like all Kangaroo models, it's built with 60% recycled aluminum, an ISCC-certified bio-based main frame, and 100% vegan leather handlebar grips, with a CO2 footprint reduced by 31%.

• Families with two children at different ages — main seat for the older child, sibling seat for the younger; or bassinet below with toddler above for a mixed-age newborn setup
• NYC navigation: 24.4 inches wide in double mode, same footprint as the single Kangaroo; fits through standard doorways and around tight sidewalk corners
• Travel-system users: car seat adapters included in the box for both Bugaboo Turtle Air Shield by Nuna and many other infant car seats
• Families who want 20+ configurations without buying a new chassis — bassinet, car seat, sibling seat, and wheeled board all work on the same frame
• Sustainability-minded families: 31% lower CO2 footprint, recycled aluminum, bio-based main frame, vegan leather grips
• Twin newborns: the Kangaroo Double accommodates one bassinet, not two simultaneously — for twins from birth, see the Bugaboo Donkey 6 Twin
• Parents who want side-by-side seating: this is a tandem (front-and-back) stroller; for side-by-side, see the Bugaboo Donkey 6 Double or Twin
• Newborn use straight out of the box — both seats start at approximately 6 months; add a bassinet (sold separately) for birth use
• Jogging: this is an all-terrain stroller, not a running stroller
Not with seats alone. Both the main seat and sibling seat are designed from approximately 6 months. To use the Kangaroo Double from birth, add a compatible bassinet (sold separately) in the lower position — this creates a mixed-age setup with a newborn in the bassinet below and an older child in the main seat above. Car seat adapters are included in the box, so a compatible infant car seat can also be used in the lower position as an alternative to the bassinet.
Yes. From approximately 6 months, when a child has sufficient head and neck control, both the main seat and sibling seat are suitable. Both are reversible and reclinable with adjustable footrests and reflective comfort harnesses. The main seat is larger (19.7 x 12.2 inches); the sibling seat is sized for younger or smaller children (17.7 x 11.8 inches, max. 40 lbs).
Yes. The main seat handles up to 50 lbs and is designed for children through approximately age 4. The sibling seat is rated to 40 lbs and approximately 40 months. When a third child needs to join, add a Bugaboo wheeled board (sold separately) for a ride-along option.
The Kangaroo Double's standout NYC credential is its footprint: 24.4 inches wide in double mode — the same width as the single Kangaroo. That's narrower than most tandem doubles and narrow enough for standard doorways, restaurant aisles, and building lobbies without advance planning. The 12" rear wheels and suspension system handle curbs and cobblestones, and the 70-liter underseat basket carries a real load without adding to the stroller's profile.
Compared to the UPPAbaby Vista V3 in double mode, the Kangaroo Double is comparable in tandem configuration and similar width. The Vista has a slightly more established double-seat track record; the Kangaroo's included car seat adapters and stronger sustainability spec give it an edge for families ready to use it as a travel system immediately. The Cybex Gazelle S offers a side-by-side option at a similar weight — worth considering if both children being visible simultaneously is a priority. If tandem works and you want the most city-navigable footprint in the category, the Kangaroo Double is the one.

The Kangaroo Double solves a specific problem efficiently: two children, different ages, one chassis, city-navigable footprint. At 24.4 inches wide in double mode it fits everywhere the single Kangaroo fits — which is most places in New York. The tandem arrangement keeps the stroller narrow; the 20+ configurations mean you're not locked into one setup as your children grow and change. Car seat adapters in the box mean it's travel-system ready without an extra purchase.
The sustainability spec is the same strong story as the single Kangaroo: 31% CO2 reduction, 60% recycled aluminum, ISCC-certified bio-based main frame, vegan leather grips, modular design for repair and refurbishment, tested on 4,349 miles of rough terrain. For families who want a capable, adaptable tandem double that doesn't force a trade-off between functionality and city maneuverability, it's the right call.
You can test out any stroller on the floor with a test baby (giving it proper weight) outside on the road, so you can feel curbs, uneven terrain and get the real feel of it.
You can purchase and we'll hold it until you're ready to take delivery. This way you can check things off the list, yet manage your timing.
We'll build your stroller for you in-store. If the stroller needs a bassinet changed into the seat later on, you can wheel in and we'll do that for you when you're ready.
We'll train you on your stroller including folding and opening, using accessories and more in-store.
Apples to apples, we do our best to match any official listed price on an authorized dealer's website.
We're always here to help you navigate any questions about your purchase and any warranty claims. Although warranties run through the manufacturer, we can often get any issues fast-tracked.
Make a baby registry with us and automatically get all of our services, as well as a registry close-out discount at the end. If you already have a registry, note our links can also be added to Babylist, and if you let us know you've added us, we will apply our services.
No. The Kangaroo Double accommodates one bassinet in the lower position — not two simultaneously — so it cannot be used as a twin newborn stroller. For twins from birth, the Bugaboo Donkey 6 Twin is designed specifically for that configuration with two side-by-side bassinets included.
Yes. Add a compatible bassinet (sold separately) in the lower position alongside an older child in the main seat above. Alternatively, use a compatible infant car seat (adapters included) in the lower position for newborn travel system use.
Tandem — one seat in front of the other. The main seat is in the upper position; the sibling seat or bassinet goes in the lower position. If side-by-side seating is a priority, ask us about the Bugaboo Donkey 6 Double or Twin.
The main seat is designed for children from approximately 6 months to 4 years, up to 50 lbs (22 kg). The sibling seat is designed for children from approximately 6 to 40 months, up to 40 lbs (18 kg).
24.4 inches (62 cm) — the same width as the single Kangaroo. The tandem configuration adds length (45.2 inches in use) but not width, so it fits through standard doorways and navigates city spaces the same way the single does.
Yes. Car seat adapters are included and are compatible with the Bugaboo Turtle Air Shield by Nuna and many other infant car seats. Check the Bugaboo Kangaroo car seat adapters page for a full list. Additional adapters are available at Babesta.
One-piece fold with both seats attached: 31.1 x 24.4 x 33.8 inches (79 x 62 x 86 cm). Note there is no separate compact two-piece fold dimension listed for the double configuration — check with us in store if trunk fit is a concern.
No. The Kangaroo Double is an all-terrain stroller, not a jogging stroller. Ask us about dedicated jogging options if that's a priority.
The Kangaroo Double shares the same sustainability platform as the single Kangaroo: 31% lower CO2 footprint, 60% recycled aluminum, ISCC-certified bio-based main frame, 100% recycled outer fabric on select colors, 100% vegan leather grips, and a modular design for repair and refurbishment. It has been tested on 4,349 miles of rough terrain without significant wear.
Seat and sun canopy fabrics are machine washable at 86°F (30°C). The underseat basket and handlebar grips should be cleaned with a damp cloth. Always check the washing label for exact instructions.
Yes. Come into our Tribeca store at 56 Warren Street and we'll set it up for a test drive outside on the street with proper weight so you get the real feel of how it handles.
Absolutely. Create a registry with us directly, or add Babesta links to your Babylist registry. Let us know you've added us and we'll apply all of our services to your purchase.
