Buying a Cheap Double Buggy
A little extra on a tandem stroller will ensure that it lasts for a long time and is still worth its price. The Uppababy Vista V2 is a top-rated model that can convert to a single stroller and comes with another seat and a RumbleSeat which offers flexibility.
It offers a decent recline for the seat and a decent-sized canopy that comes with UPF 50+ protection as well as windows that peek out. It's also small and folds easily.
Budget
A double buggy can be a lifesaver for parents with two kids. It isn't expensive. You'll also need to consider the cost of car seats and carrycots, and the cost of the buggy. But even if you do, there are many options that won't break the budget.
The UPPAbaby vista 2 is a great choice if you're trying to save money. It's priced at less than PS1,000 and it can fit twins, a baby and a toddler, or even three kids with the 'PiggyBack board' (which you can purchase separately). It's the most compact side-by-side available that's available and has the same footprint as a single pushchair, so it's easy to navigate doors, shopping aisles, and public transportation.
The iCandy Orange is another great alternative and one of our most affordable double buggies. It has 30 seating options and comes with soft suspension that can take care of the kerbs. It also converts from single-to-double so it'll grow with your family and can even take a third child in the back.
Style
There are still gorgeous double buggies for an affordable budget. Many of them are designed to look great and are also very durable. If you select a well-known brand, they'll also have a good resale value.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is one of the best double stroller s available. It is available in a range of colors and looks elegant. The UPPA "PiggyBack Board" can be added to make it a triple buggy. It can take twins as well as a toddler and baby or the child in a car seat. This is a great double buggy for urban use since it has a slim frame that will fit through most doorways and can cope with shopping aisles as well as trains, buses and other vehicles.
The iCandy Peach is another popular option. It's a light-weight option that is priced at less than PS300, including the adaptors required for carseats. best double strollers can be used as one seat and comes with some great features such as a large spacious basket, front suspension and UPF 50+ shades that have a the ability to peek out of the window. There's also a cup holder for one parent, and the seats can face each other or be set away from one another.
Double buggies with side-by-side sides cost more, but are easier to push. They can be wide which means they won't be able to pass through doors with narrow openings. They are better suited for older children who prefer to sit together. The Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the slimmest side-by-sides available on the market.
Sites like Rebelstork offer the most popular double strollers for sale at reasonable prices. They offer open box and surplus items as well as brand new models so you can try before buying. They offer a trade-in scheme that allows you to get money off the purchase if you decide to for an upgrade.
Convenience
The Joie Evalite Duo pushchair is a great choice if you are on a budget but still want to be able to accommodate your children (and do not mind the slightly larger size). Our Lab experts like that it's light and easy to drive, and can be folded in just a few minutes. It's got plenty of storage space for two children, generous UPF 50+ canopy that has a peekaboo window, reclining seats which are easy to adjust, and a clever brake lever on the handlebar. All this at a price well lower than PS1000.
If you're looking for a budget double buggy that can accommodate infant car seats, the iCandy Orange Wave is another good choice. Its sleek frame can be expanded in width to accommodate 2 seats or a stroller seat with a bassinet option. It can accommodate up to three children using the UPPAbaby 'PiggyBack,' a running board for older kids (which you buy separately).
The seat and carrycot have side-by-side seating, meaning that your children will be able to see each other and you'll be able to keep an eye on them, meaning you're less likely to misinterpret them. It's also the slimmest side-by-side on the market, so it should be able to pass through the majority of doors and can be steered easily around tight corners. However, it feels long and heavy to push when it's in double mode, and doesn't do as well on rough or uneven terrain as some of our other top-quality double buggies.
This is a great mid-priced choice, and our top-rated double stroller. It's light, comes with an easy-to-use shopping basket and can take 2 child car seats or one baby seat and an infant seat. It has a comfortable seat with big wheels on the back that can be more robust than some of our more compact models. It also folds into a compact self-standing design and comes with a convenient strap for carrying. It's not as big or as high-end as other top-quality doubles but it's still an excellent value.
Safety
Check that the double buggy is safe before purchasing it. The safety straps and how the seats adapt to your child's needs are vital. Also, make sure that the seats have different recline positions for different ages. Look for large storage baskets, pockets and any extras you may find useful, such as sunshades and rain covers.
If you plan to use the buggy mostly in the city or on public transport, make sure it's lightweight and easy to maneuver. Also, consider how much it weighs when fully loaded and whether it can be folded easily to fit into the car boot. If you plan to use the buggy in smaller towns and villages, make sure that the wheels are sturdy and grippy enough to navigate narrow doorways and pavements.
There are many types of double buggies, but the most well-known is the side-by-side model. They are larger and more difficult to push, but have the advantage of both children being in a position to see. These can be quite expensive.
Tandem buggies are another option and they have the children positioned next to each other. This can be more comfortable for older children, however it does mean that the buggy is less stable than a side-by-side. It is also harder to get them through narrow doors and is difficult to maneuver between kerbs.

It has a built-in seat for riding on, "cinema seating" and 30 different seating configurations. It can even accommodate an additional child. It's also lightweight and has good suspension.
