Buying a Cheap Double Buggy

Parents who are willing to invest a little more can buy a high-quality tandem stroller that will last for a long time and will retain its price for resales. The Uppababy Vista V2 model is an excellent stroller which can be converted into one. It also comes with another seat, called the RumbleSeat that adds flexibility.

It has decent seat recline and a good-sized canopy with UPF 50+ protection and peekaboo windows. It's also small and folds easily.

Budget

A good double buggy can be an essential item when you have two children in tow and isn't going to cost you a fortune. You'll also need to consider the price of car seats or carrycots, and the price of the buggy. But even if you do there are plenty of options that won't break your bank.

An excellent option if you want to keep costs down 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 kids (with a 'PiggyBack' board that you can purchase separately). It's the lightest tandem on the market. The footprint is similar to the footprint of one pushchair, which means it is able to be easily carried through doors and aisles.

The iCandy Orange is another great option and one of our favourite budget double buggies - it has 30 seating options and comes with soft suspension that makes light work of the kerbs. It can also be converted from single to double so that it grows with your family. It can even accommodate a third child at the back.

Style

If you're on a budget you can still purchase some stunning double buggy with carrycot buggies. They look stunning and are also very durable. You can also find a good resale price when you select a well-known brand.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is one of the best budget double strollers that are available. It is available in a variety of colours and is really attractive to see. It can also be used as an extra triple buggy by using the UPPA's 'PiggyBack' board. It can be used with twins or a toddler and a baby or children in a car seat. This is a perfect double buggy for city use as it has a small 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. It is a light option that is priced at less than PS300 including the adaptors required for carseats. It can be used as an individual seat and comes with some nice features like an enormous, spacious basket, front suspension and UPF 50+ shades with a peekaboo window. There's also a cup holder that can be used by one parent. The seats can face one another or be placed apart.

Smallest Double Buggy buggies that are side-by-side cost more but are often more easy to push than other types. They aren't always wide and therefore may not fit through narrow doors. They are best suited for older children who like to sit together. The Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the slimmest side-by-sides available on the market.

There are some of the best cheap 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 buying. They have a trade in scheme that allows you to earn money off the purchase if you decide to that you want to upgrade.

Convenience

If you're on a budget and still want a model that can accommodate your children (and you're okay with a slightly bulkier pushchair) The Joie Evalite Duo is a great option. Our Lab experts like that it's light and easy to drive, and can be folded in just a few minutes. It's got plenty of storage space for two kids, a large UPF 50+ canopy that has a peekaboo window, reclining seats which are easy to adjust and a clever brake lever on the handlebar. All this for a price below PS1000.

The iCandy Orange Wave double buggy is a good option if you are seeking a low-cost double stroller that can fit an infant car seat. Its sleek frame can be expanded in width to accommodate 2 seats or a stroller seat with an option bassinet. It can even accommodate up to three kids if you add on UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack' running board for children who are older (you purchase it separately).

The seat and the carrycot are side-by-side positioning, meaning your children can see each other, and you can keep an eye on them, meaning you're less likely to misinterpret them. It's also the thinnest on the market. This means it will pass through most compact double stroller doors and can be maneuvered around corners with ease. It's a bit heavy and lengthy to push in double mode, and does not perform as well as other best-value double buggies on rough or uneven terrain.

This is our top-rated double stroller. It's a great option for a moderate price. It's lightweight, has a convenient shopping basket and can take two car seats for children or one baby seat and a toddler seat. Its seat is comfy, and its big back wheels can handle a little more rough terrain than some of the smaller models on our list. It folds down into an incredibly compact, self-standing design and comes with a handy carry strap that makes it easy to transport. It's not as spacious or as luxurious as other best-value doubles, but it's a great value overall.

Safety

Check that the double buggy meets all safety standards prior to purchasing it. 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 large storage baskets as well as pockets and other accessories you may find useful, such as sunshades and rain covers.

If you're going to be using the buggy mainly around town or on public transport check that it is light and easy to move. Also, you should think about the weight of the buggy once it's fully loaded, and if it can be folded and fitted in your car boot. If you are planning to use the buggy in smaller villages or towns, be sure that the wheels are sturdy and grippy enough to navigate through narrow streets and doors.

There are many types of double buggies. However, the most well-known is the side-by-side model. They tend to be larger and more difficult to push, but they do offer the advantage of the children both having a view. These can be quite expensive.

Tandem buggies allow the children to be placed next to each one. This is a more comfortable option for older children, however it can mean that the buggy is less stable than a side-by-side. It can also be difficult to maneuver them through narrow doorways and up and down the kerbs.

The iCandy Peach is one of the best-selling double buggies and is a fashionable piece of equipment that comes with plenty of unique features. It has a built-in board for riding on, "cinema seating" and 30 different seating configurations. It can even accommodate a third child. It is light and has a solid suspension and can be transformed from a single seat into a double-seater with the purchase of supplementary seats.

Mountain Buggy Duet makes a ideal option for those looking for a more streamlined smallest double buggy buggy. It is the thinnest side-byside on the market and has a footprint that is similar to the size of a single buggy. It comes with a variety of configurations that allow both children to see the world. It also has an easy handbrake on an adjustable handlebar. It can also take two infant car seats by way of an adapter.
