Buying a
Cheap Double BuggyA little more money spent on a tandem stroller will ensure that it lasts for a long time and retains its value. The Uppababy Vista V2 is a top-rated model that can convert to a single stroller and comes with another seat and a RumbleSeat, that adds flexibility.
It has decent seat recline and a large canopy with UPF 50+ protection and windows that peek out. It's also compact and folds easily.
Budget
A
double single pushchair buggy can be a lifesaver for parents with two kids. It shouldn't cost a fortune. You'll also need to consider the price of car seats or carrycots, and the price of the buggy. However there are plenty of alternatives that won't break the bank.
An excellent option if you want to keep costs low is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 - it's an incredible value at under PS1,000 and can be used with twins, one baby and one toddler or three children (with the 'PiggyBack' board, which you buy separately). It's the slimmest side-by-side on the market, and comes with the same footprint as a single
twin pushchair, so it's easy to get through doors, shopping aisles, and public transport.
The iCandy Orange double buggies are another option. It has 30 different seating configurations, and soft suspension that makes kerbs simple. It can also be converted from single to double, so that it can grow with your family. It can even accommodate an additional child in the back.
Style
There are still gorgeous double buggies for a budget. Many of them look beautiful and are very durable. You can also enjoy an excellent resale price by choosing a reputable brand.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 double stroller is one of the most affordable
double buggy with car seat strollers on the market. It comes in a variety of colours and is really attractive to take a look at. It can also be used as a triple buggy by incorporating the UPPA's 'PiggyBack' board. It can hold twins, a toddler and an infant or child in a car seat for infants. This is a double buggy that is ideal for city use. It has a narrow frame, which will fit through
most compact double stroller doors and handle trains and shopping aisles.
Another popular option is the iCandy Peach. This is a lightweight option that costs less than PS300 and includes the adaptors for carseats. It can be used as a single seat and has some nice features like the large wide basket, front suspension and UPF 50+ shades with peekaboo window. There is also a cup holder for one parent, and the seats can face one another or be placed away from eachother.
Side-by-side double buggies cost more but are generally more maneuverable than other types. They aren't always wide, so they may not fit through narrow doors. 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 available on the market.
You can find some of the most affordable double strollers on sale on websites like Rebelstork. They have new and old models and open boxes and overstocks. You can try them before purchasing. They have a trade in scheme that allows you to earn money off your purchase if you choose to that you want to upgrade.
Convenience
If you're on a budget and still want a product that will 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, smooth to drive, and can be folded into a half-length in a matter of minutes. It also offers good storage for both children and adults, as well as UPF 50+ canopy with the ability to peek out windows, reclined seats that are easy to adjust, and a smart one-handed brake lever on the handlebar, all at the price of PS1000.
If you need a cheap double stroller that can also accommodate infant car seats such as the iCandy Orange Wave is another excellent option. Its slick frame expands widthways to accommodate two seats or a single stroller seat with a bassinet option. You can carry up to three kids with the UPPAbaby "PiggyBack," a running board for older kids (which you purchase separately).
Seat and carrycots are set side-by-side, so your children will be able to see each the other and you will be able to keep an eye on them. This minimizes the risk of them getting confused. It is also the slimmest available. This means it can fit through the majority of doors and can be maneuvered around corners with ease. However, it does feel heavy and long when it's in double mode, and does not perform as well on rough or uneven terrain as some of our other best-value double buggies.
This is a great mid-priced option, and our top-rated double stroller. It's lightweight, comes with an integrated shopping basket and it can be used with two child car seats, or one toddler and a baby. It features a comfortable and spacious seat and big wheels on the back that can take on rough terrain better than some of our more compact models. It folds down into a compact self-standing design and comes with a convenient strap for carrying. It's not as spacious or as luxurious as other best-value doubles, but it's a great price overall.
Safety
Verify that the double stroller is safe before buying it. This includes safety straps, the way that the seats can be adjusted to accommodate your growing children and whether they have various reclining positions that are appropriate for their age. Also, look for a large storage basket and pockets and whether there are other accessories that could be useful, such as sunshades or rain covers.
If you're planning to use the buggy mostly in the city or on public transport, ensure that it is lightweight and easy to maneuver. Also, you should take into consideration the weight of the buggy when it's fully loaded, and if it can be folded up and fitted in your car boot. If you use the buggy often in small towns or villages, check that the wheels are well-groomed and that it can negotiate narrow pavements and doorways.
There are a variety of double buggies. However, the most popular is the side-byside model. They tend to be larger and more difficult to push, but they have the benefit of both children being able to see. They can also be pricey.
Tandem buggies allow children to be positioned next each one. 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 difficult to maneuver them through narrow doors 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. This includes a built-in riding board, 'cinema seating' and 30 seating configurations. It can even accommodate a third child! It's also lightweight and has a good suspension. It can convert from a single seat to a double one with the purchase of an additional seat.
For those who want a more streamlined double buggy the Mountain Buggy Duet is an excellent choice. It is the tiniest double buggy on the market, and its footprint is comparable to that of a single buggy. It has a variety of configurations so that both children are able to see the world around them. There is a handy handbrake that is adjustable handlebar. It can also take two infant car seats by way of an adapter.
