Buying a Cheap Double Buggy
A little more money spent on a tandem stroller will ensure that it lasts for many years and will retain its value. The Uppababy Vista V2 model is an extremely rated stroller that can be converted to one. It also has an additional seat, the RumbleSeat that adds flexibility.
It offers a decent recline for the seat and a good-sized canopy with UPF 50+ protection as well as peekaboo windows. It also folds easily and compactly.
Budget
A double buggy can be lifesaver for parents with two kids. It isn't expensive. You'll also need to consider the cost of car seats or carrycots, in addition to the cost of the buggy. But even then, there are many options that won't break the budget.
The UPPAbaby vista 2 is a great choice for those trying to save money. It's priced at less than PS1,000 and can be used for twins as well as a baby and toddler, or even three kids with the 'PiggyBack board' (which is purchased separately). It's the tiniest side-by-side on the market, and comes with an area that's as big as a single pushchair so it's easy to navigate doors, shopping aisles, and public transport.
The iCandy Orange is another great option and is one of our favourite budget double buggies. It has 30 seating options and soft suspension that makes light work of the kerbs. It also converts from single to double to accommodate your family and even take a third child in the back.
Style
If you are on a tight budget you can still purchase some beautiful double buggies. Many of them look beautiful and are very durable. If you select a well-known brand, they'll also have a good resale value.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 double stroller is one of the most affordable double strollers on the market. It is available in a variety of colors and is elegant. The UPPA "PiggyBack Board" can be added to make a triple buggy. It can be used to accommodate twins or a toddler as well as an infant or child in a car seat for an infant. This is a perfect double buggy for city use as it has a slim frame that will fit through most doorways and can cope with shopping aisles, buses and trains.
The iCandy Peach is another popular alternative. This is a great lightweight option that is priced at less than PS300 including the adaptors required to fit carseats. It can also be used as a single and has some nice features such as a wide, spacious shopping basket and front suspension, as well as UPF 50+ sunshades, with peekaboo windows. There's also a cup holder for one parent, and the seats can be positioned to face each other or be placed away from eachother.
Double buggies that are side-by-side cost more, however they are much easier to push. They may be wider which means they won't fit through narrow doors. They are better suited for older children who like to sit with their parents. The Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the slimmest side-by sides on the market.

Convenience
The Joie Evalite Duo pushchair is an excellent option if are on a budget but still want to fit your children (and aren't averse to the slightly larger size). Our Lab experts love that it's lightweight, easy to drive, and can be folded into a half-length in a matter of seconds. It also has ample storage for both children and adults, as well as UPF 50+ canopies that have peekaboo windows, reclining seats that are easy to adjust, and a clever brake lever that is one-handed on the handlebar - all at an affordable price of PS1000.
If you're looking for a budget double buggy that can accommodate infant car seats such as the iCandy Orange Wave is another excellent option. Its sleek frame can be expanded in width to accommodate two seats or one stroller with an option bassinet. It can accommodate up to three kids with the UPPAbaby "PiggyBack," a running board for older kids (which is available separately).
Seat and carrycots are set on opposite sides, which means your children can see each the other and you can keep a close eye on them. This reduces the chance of them becoming confused. It's also one of the slimmest side-bysides on the market, so it should fit through most doorways and is able to be easily steered around tight corners. However, it does feel long and heavy to push when it's in double mode, and does not perform as well on uneven or rough terrain as some of our other best-value double buggies.
This is our top-rated double stroller. It's a great choice for a price that is mid-range. It's light, has an integrated basket for shopping, and it can be used with two car seats for children or one toddler and a baby. double buggy side by side features a comfortable and spacious seat with big wheels on the back that can be more robust than our more compact models. Plus, it folds into an incredibly compact, self-standing design and has a convenient carry strap for easy schlepping. It's not as large or as high-quality as other top-quality doubles, however it's a great value overall.
Safety
Check that the double buggy meets all safety standards before purchasing it. This includes the safety straps, how the seats can be adjusted as your children grow and if they are equipped with various reclining positions that are appropriate for their age. Look for large storage baskets along with pockets and other items you may find useful, such as sunshades and rain covers.
If you are going to use the buggy primarily in the city or on public transport, ensure that it is light and easy to maneuver. You will also need to consider how much it weighs fully loaded and if 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 well-grip and that they can traverse narrow roads and doorways.
There are a myriad of double buggies, but the most popular is the side-byside model. They are generally longer and more difficult to push, but they have the benefit of both children having a view. These can be quite expensive.
Tandem buggies permit 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 fit them through narrow doors and can be difficult to go up and down kerbs.
