Buying a Cheap Double Buggy
Parents who are willing to invest a little more can buy a top-quality tandem stroller that will last for years and will retain its price for resales. The Uppababy Vista V2 is a top-rated model that is able to convert to a single and has an additional seat and a RumbleSeat which adds versatility.
It has decent seat recline and a good-sized canopy with UPF 50+ protection as well as peekaboo windows. It folds easily and compactly.
Budget
A good double buggy can be an absolute lifesaver when you have two children in the car, and it isn't going to cost you a fortune. You'll also have to think about the cost of car seats or carrycots, in addition to the price of the buggy. But even then, there are many options that won't break your bank.
An excellent option if you want to keep costs down is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 - it's an amazing value for money at less than $1000 and can take twins with one baby and one toddler or three children (with the 'PiggyBack' boards that you can purchase separately). It's the most compact side-by-side available that's available and has a footprint that's the same as a single pushchair. This means it's easy to navigate doorways, shopping aisles and public transport.
The iCandy Orange double buggies are another great 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 grow with your family. It can even accommodate an additional child in the back.
Style

double pushchair buggies for a budget. They are often designed to look stunning and are also very durable. You can also find the best price for resales by choosing a reputable brand.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is one of the most affordable double strollers on the market. It comes in a range of colors and is elegant to see. It can be used as a triple buggy by incorporating the UPPA's own 'PiggyBack' boards. It can accommodate twins or a toddler, as well as an infant or child in a car seat for infants. This is a great
double buggy with car seat buggy for urban use since it has a slim frame that fits through the majority of doors. It can also handle shopping aisles as well as trains, buses and other vehicles.
Another popular choice is the iCandy Peach. This is a great
lightweight twin buggy option that is priced at less than PS300 including the adaptors required for carseats. It can also be used as one-person and has appealing features, including a large, spacious shopping basket, front suspension and UPF 50+ sunshades, with windows that peek out. There's also a cup holder that can be used by one parent and the seats can face each other, or be positioned away from one another.
Double buggies that are side-by-side cost more, but are less difficult to push. They aren't always 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 with their parents. The Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the slimmest side-by-sides on the market.

Convenience
If you're on a tight budget but still want something that can accommodate your children (and you don't mind an extra-large pushchair), the Joie Evalite Duo is a good choice. Our Lab experts like it because it's light, smooth to drive, and can be folded in just a few seconds. It also provides ample storage for both kids, as well as UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows; reclining seats that are easy to adjust, and a smart one-handed brake lever on the handlebar - all for an affordable price of PS1000.
The iCandy Orange Wave double buggy is a good choice If you're looking for a cheap double stroller that can accommodate infant car seat. Its slick frame expands widthways to accept 2 seats or a single stroller seat with a bassinet that can be added. You can carry up to three children using the UPPAbaby 'PiggyBack,' an exercise board for older kids (which is available separately).
Seat and carrycot are positioned in a row, so that your children can see each the other and you will be able to keep an eye on them. This decreases the chances of them being confused. It's also the slimmest side-by-side on the market, so it should be able to pass through the majority of doors and is able to be easily steered around tight corners. It's heavy and long to push in double mode, and it isn't as efficient as other best-value
double pushchair from birth buggies on rough or uneven terrain.
This is our top-rated
double buggy travel system stroller. It's a great choice for a moderate price. It's light and has a convenient shopping basket and can fit 2 child car seats or one baby seat and the toddler seat. It features a comfortable and spacious seat with big wheels on the back that are able to handle rougher terrain than some of our more compact models. It folds down into a compact, self-standing model and comes with a comfortable strap for transport. It's not quite as spacious or as high-end as other top-quality doubles but it's still a great deal.
Safety
When you purchase a double buggy, make sure it meets all important safety standards. The safety straps as well as the way in which the seats adjust to the growth of your child are crucial. Also, check if the seats have different recline positions for different ages. Also look for a spacious storage basket with pockets and whether there are any other items that could be useful, like sunshades, rain covers.
If you are going to use the buggy mainly around town or on public transport, make sure that it is light and easy to maneuver. Also, you should consider the weight of the buggy when it's fully loaded, and whether it can be folded up and put in the car boot. If you drive the buggy frequently in small towns or villages check that the wheels are able to grip and can navigate the narrow roads and doorways.
There are many different types of double buggies available with side-byside models being the most well-known. They are longer and harder to push, but they offer the benefit of both children being able to see. They can also be expensive.
Tandem buggies allow children to be placed next to each other. This is a more comfortable option for older children, but it can mean 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 maneuver between kerbs.

These include a built-in ride-on board, 'cinema seating' and 30 seating options - it will even hold three children! It is also light, has good suspension and can be converted from single to
double Prams with adjustable footrest with the purchase of an additional seat.
