Buying a
Cheap Double BuggySpending a little more on a tandem stroller will ensure that it lasts for many years and is still worth its price. The Uppababy Vista V2 is a top-rated model that is able to convert to a single stroller and comes with another seat that is called the RumbleSeat which offers versatility.
It offers a comfortable recline seat, a big canopy with UPF protection 50+ and a peekaboo window. It is also compact and folds easily.
Budget
A double buggy can be lifesaver for parents with two young children. It isn't expensive. It is also important to consider the price of car seats or carrycots, as well as the cost of the buggy. However there are plenty of options that won't break your bank.
A great option for those who are looking to cut costs is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which is an incredible value at less than PS1,000 and can be used with twins with one baby and one toddler or three children (with a 'PiggyBack' board, which you buy separately). It's the lightest tandem on the market. The footprint is identical to the one of a
single and double stroller pushchair, so it can easily be carried through doors and aisles.
The iCandy Orange double buggies are another option. It comes with 30 different seating configurations, and soft suspension to make kerbs a breeze. It can also be converted from single to double to accommodate your family and even accommodate a third child in the back.
Style
There are still lovely double buggies on a budget. Many of them look beautiful and are also very durable. You can also enjoy the best price for resales when you select a well-known brand.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is one of the best double strollers on the market. It comes in a range of colours and is really elegant to look at. It can be used as an extra triple buggy by using UPPA's separate 'PiggyBack' board. It can hold twins or a toddler as well as the baby or child in an infant car seat. This is an ideal double buggy for urban use since it has a narrow frame that can be pushed through the majority of doors and handle shopping aisles buses, trains and even busses.
Another popular choice is the iCandy Peach. It is a light option and costs less than PS300 including the adaptors needed for carseats. It can also be used as one-person and has nice features such as a wide, spacious shopping basket and front suspension, as well as UPF 50+ sunshades that have windows that can be seen from a distance. There's a great one-parent cup holder and seats can be set to face one another or to be a distance away from one another.
Double buggies that are side-byside cost more, but are easier to push. They can be quite large however, so they may not fit through some narrow doors. They are typically best suited for older children who prefer to
sit and stand double stroller in a row facing one another. The Mountain Buggy Duet has one of the tiniest sides-by-sides on the market.

Convenience
The Joie Evalite Duo pushchair is a great choice if you are on a budget but still want to accommodate your children (and do not mind the slightly larger size). It folds easily, is lightweight and easy to drive. It also has ample storage for both kids, plus generous UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows; reclined seats that are easy to adjust, as well as a clever one-handed brake lever on the handlebar - all at an affordable price of PS1000.
If you are looking for a low-cost double buggy that can accommodate infant car seats and car seats, the iCandy Orange Wave is another good choice. Its slick frame can be expanded to accept 2 seats or a single stroller seat with a bassinet that can be added. It can also accommodate up to three kids when you add on UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack' running board for children who are older (you buy it separately).
The seat and the carrycot are side-by-side placement, which means your children will be able to see each other and you can keep an eye on them, so there's less chance of mischance between them. It's also the slimmest side-by-side available and will be able to pass through the majority of doors and be easily maneuvered around tight corners. It is heavy and long to push in
double running stroller mode, and doesn't perform as well as other best-value double buggies on rough or uneven terrain.
This is our top-rated double stroller. It's an excellent choice for a price that is mid-range. It's light, comes with an easy-to-use shopping basket and can take two car seats for children or one baby seat as well as an infant seat. It has a comfortable seat and large wheels on the back that can be more robust than our more compact models. It also folds into a compact, self-standing model and comes with a handy carrying strap. It's not as spacious or as well-made as some of the other top-quality doubles, but it's a great value overall.
Safety
Verify that the double stroller meets all safety standards prior to purchasing it. This includes the safety straps, how the seats can be adjusted to accommodate your growing children and if they are equipped with different recline positions to match their age. Also, look for a big storage basket and pockets, and whether there are any other extras that are useful, like sunshades or rain covers.
If you plan to use your buggy mostly in towns or on public transport, make sure it is
lightweight double stroller and easy to maneuver. You should also consider the weight of the buggy when fully loaded and whether it can be folded and fitted in your car boot. If you are planning to use the buggy in smaller towns and villages, make sure that the wheels well-gripped and are able to traverse narrow roads and doorways.
There are many types of
double pram buggy buggies, but the most popular is the side-by-side model. They tend to be larger and more difficult to push, but they have the benefit of the children both being able to see. These can be very expensive.
Tandem buggies are another option and have the kids positioned next to each other. This is a more comfortable option for older children, however it does mean that the buggy is less stable than a side by side. It is also difficult to get them through narrow doorways and up and down the kerbs.
The iCandy Peach double buggies are one of the most loved and fashionable models. It is unique in its features. It has a built-in ride-on board, 'cinema seating' and 30 seating configurations - it can even accommodate three children! It is light and has a solid suspension and can be transformed from a single to a double-seater with the purchase of supplementary seats.
If you're looking for a more streamlined double buggy the Mountain Buggy Duet is an excellent option. It is the slimmest side-by-side available and comes with the same footprint to one buggy. It has a variety of configurations to let both children see the world. It also has a handbrake that is convenient on an adjustable handlebar. It can also accommodate two infant car seats by means of an adapter.
