Budget
A double buggy can be lifesaver for parents with two young children. It shouldn't cost a fortune. It is important to consider car seats or carrycots in addition to the cost of the buggy itself however, there are plenty of options available that won't break the bank.
A great option if you are looking to cut costs is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 - an incredible value at under PS1,000 and can take twins with one baby and one toddler or three kids (with the 'PiggyBack' board that you purchase separately). It's the most compact side-by-side available on the market, and comes with an area that's as big as a single pushchair so it's easy to get through the doorways, shopping aisles and public transportation.
The iCandy Orange is another great alternative and one of our top budget double buggies. It comes with 30 seating options and comes with soft suspension that allows for easy work of the kerbs. It is also able to be transformed from a single buggie to a double, so that it can grow with your family. You can even fit a third child at the back.
Style
If you are on a budget, you can still buy some gorgeous double buggies. They are often designed to look beautiful and are extremely durable too. You can also get a good resale price if you choose a popular brand.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2
double buggy sale stroller is among the most affordable double strollers available on the market. It is available in a variety of colours and is really stylish to take a look at. The UPPA 'PiggyBack Board' can be added to create a triple buggy. It can take twins as well as a toddler and baby or children in a car seat. This is a great double buggy for city use as it has a narrow frame that will fit through most doorways and can cope with shopping aisles, buses and trains.
Another option that is popular is the iCandy Peach. It's a light-weight option that costs less than PS300, including the adaptors required for carseats. It can also be used one-person and has attractive features like a wide, spacious shopping basket and front suspension, as well as UPF 50+ sunshades with windows that can be seen from a distance. There's also a cup holder for one parent, and the seats can face each other or be set away from eachother.
Double buggies that are side-byside cost more, however they are easier to push. They can be quite large though so they might not fit through some narrow doors, and are generally better suited to older children who want to sit facing each other. The Mountain Buggy Duet has one of the slimmest sides-by-sides that are available.
Sites like Rebelstork offer the best double strollers for sale at affordable prices. They have both new and older models and open boxes and overstocks. You can try the strollers before buying. They also have a trade-in scheme to allow you to get cash back if you decide to upgrade.
Convenience
If you're on a tight budget but still want a product that will accommodate your children (and you're not afraid of having a little more bulky pushchair) then the Joie Evalite Duo is a great option. Our Lab experts like that it's light, smooth to drive and folds into a half-length in a matter of seconds. 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.

Its slick frame expands widthways to accommodate two seats or a single stroller seat with a bassinet that can be added. You can carry up to three children with the UPPAbaby "PiggyBack," a running board for older children (which you buy separately).
Seat and carrycots are set side-by-side, so your children can 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'll pass through most doors and be maneuvered around corners with ease. However, it is heavy and long to push when it's in double mode, and doesn't do as well on rough or uneven terrain as our other top-quality double buggies.
This is a great mid-priced option, and our top-rated double stroller. It's lightweight, has an easy-to-use shopping basket and can accommodate 2 child car seats or one baby seat as well as the toddler seat. Its seat is comfy and its big back wheels can handle some rough terrain than some of the smaller models on our list. It also folds into a
compact twin stroller self-standing design and comes with a convenient strap for transport. It's not as big or luxurious as other high-end doubles, but it's still a great deal.
Safety
Verify that the double stroller meets all safety standards prior to buying it. This includes safety straps, the way that the seats can be adjusted as your children get older and if they are equipped with different recline positions to match their age. Also look for a spacious storage basket and pockets and whether there are any other items that could be useful, like sunshades, rain covers.
If you're planning to be using the buggy mostly in the city or on public transport check that it is light and easy to maneuver. Also, consider how much it weighs fully loaded, and if it is easy to fold and fit into your car boot. If you use the buggy frequently in small towns or villages, ensure that the wheels are well-groomed and that it can negotiate narrow streets and doors.
There are many types of double buggies, but the most popular is the side-byside model. They tend to be larger and more difficult to push, however they offer the benefit of each child having a view. They can also be quite pricey.
Tandem buggies are an alternative and have the kids positioned next to each other. This is a more comfortable option for older children, but it does mean that the buggy is less stable than a side-byside. It can also be difficult to maneuver them through narrow doorways and up and down kerbs.
