Buying a Cheap Double Buggy

Parents who are willing to spend an extra amount can purchase a top-quality tandem stroller that will last for a long time and retain its selling value. The Uppababy Vista V2 is a top-rated model that can convert to a single stroller and comes with an additional seat and a RumbleSeat which offers versatility.

It has a decent recline seat and a good-sized canopy with UPF 50+ protection and windows that peek out. It's also compact and folds easily.

Budget

A good double buggy is an absolute lifesaver when you have two kids with you, and it shouldn't break the bank. You'll need to factor in car seats or carrycots, as well as the price of the buggy, but even then there are plenty of options on the market that won't break the bank.

A great option if you want to keep costs low is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 - an amazing value for money at under PS1,000 and can accommodate twins with one baby and one toddler or three children (with the 'PiggyBack' boards, which you buy separately). It's the lightest tandem available. The footprint is the same as the one of a single pushchair, so it can easily be moved through doors and shopping aisles.

The iCandy Orange double buggies are another option. It has 30 different seating options, and soft suspension to make kerbs easy. It can also be converted from single to double so it'll grow with your family and can even add a third child to the back.

Style

There are still lovely double buggies on budget. They look stunning and are also very durable. If you choose a reputable brand, they will also offer a decent resale price.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is one of the best budget double pram and pushchair strollers that are available. It comes in a variety of colors and is stylish to look at. It can also be used as a triple buggy by incorporating the UPPA's own 'PiggyBack' boards. It can be used to accommodate twins or a toddler as well as a baby or a child in a car seat for an infant. This is an ideal double buggy for city use as it has a slim frame that can be pushed through the majority of doors and handle shopping aisles as well as trains, buses and other vehicles.

Another popular option is the iCandy Peach. This is a lightweight option that costs less than PS300, including the adaptors required for carseats. It can also be used an individual and comes with nice features such as a large, spacious shopping basket and front suspension, as well as UPF 50+ sunshades, with windows that can be seen from a distance. There's a nice cup holder with a single parent and seats can be placed to face each other or to be a distance away from one another.

Double buggies that are side-byside cost more, but they are less difficult to push. They may be wider and therefore may not fit through narrow doors. They are more suitable for older children who would rather sit with their parents. The Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the slimmest side-by-sides available on the market.

You can find some of the most affordable double strollers on sale online at sites such as Rebelstork. They sell open box and overstock items, as well as new models so you can try before you purchase. They have a trade in program that allows you to receive a discount on your purchase if you choose to that you want to upgrade.

Convenience

If you're on a budget, but still want a model that can accommodate your kids (and you're not afraid of having a little more bulky pushchair) The Joie Evalite Duo is a good choice. Our Lab experts like it because it's light and easy to drive, and can be folded into a half-length in a matter of minutes. It offers ample storage for two children, generous UPF 50+ canopy with the ability to peek out, reclining seats which are easy to adjust, and a clever brake lever on the handlebar. All this for a price lower than PS1000.

The iCandy Orange Wave double running stroller buggy is a good option if you are looking for a cheap double twin stroller side by side that can accommodate infant car seat. Its sleek frame increases in size to accommodate two seats or one stroller seat with a bassinet option. You can carry up to three kids with the UPPAbaby 'PiggyBack,' the running board for older kids (which is available separately).

Seat and carrycot are positioned side-by-side, so your children will be able to see each one another and you can keep an eye on them. This reduces the chance of them being confused. It's also the tiniest on the market. This means it can fit through most doors and is able to maneuver around tight corners. It is heavy and long to push in double mode, and does not perform as well as some of the other best-value double buggies on rough or uneven terrain.

This is our top-rated double stroller. It's a great choice for a price that is mid-range. It's light and has a convenient shopping basket and can accommodate 2 child car seats or one baby seat and the toddler seat. Its seat is comfy and its big back wheels can cope with rough terrain than the more compact models on our list. Plus, it folds into a compact, self-standing shape and has a convenient carry strap that allows for easy schlepping. It's not as spacious or as high-quality as some of the other best-value doubles, but it's a great price overall.

Safety

When purchasing a double stroller, you must ensure that it meets all important safety standards. This includes safety straps, how the seats can be adjusted as your children grow and if they are equipped with different recline positions to match their age. Look for a large storage basket along with pockets and other items you might need, like sunshades and rain covers.

If you are going to be using the buggy mainly around town or on public transport check whether it is light and easy to maneuver. Also, consider the weight of the buggy when fully loaded, and if it is easy to fold and fit into your car boot. If you use the buggy frequently in villages or small towns, make sure the wheels are well-groomed and are able to navigate narrow pavements and doors.

There are many types of double buggies, but the most popular is the side-by-side model. They are more hefty and difficult to push, but have the benefit of both kids being in a position to see. They can be expensive.

Tandem buggies allow the children to be positioned next each other. This is a more comfortable option for older children, but it also means 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 the kerbs.

The iCandy Peach double buggies are one of the most loved and stylish models. It is unique in its features. It comes with a built-in board for riding on, "cinema seating" and 30 different seating configurations. It can even fit an additional child. It is lightweight, has a great suspension and can be transformed from a single seat into a double-seater with the purchase of supplementary seats.

If you are looking for a more sleek double buggy the Mountain Buggy Duet is an excellent choice. It is the slimmest double buggy that is available and its footprint is similar to that of a single-buggy. It has a variety of configurations to allow both children to see the world. It also has a handy handbrake on an adjustable handlebar. It can also accommodate two infant car seats with the addition of an adapter.
