Buying a Cheap Double Buggy
A little more money spent on a tandem stroller will ensure it lasts for years and will retain its value. The Uppababy Vista V2 model is a top-rated stroller which can be converted into a single. It also comes with an additional seat, the RumbleSeat which allows for greater flexibility.
It has a decent seat recline, a large canopy that has UPF protection of 50+ and a peekaboo view. It folds easily and compactly.
Budget
A double buggy can be a lifesaver for parents with two young children. It isn't expensive. It is also important to consider the cost of car seats and carrycots, as well as the cost of the buggy. But even if you do, there are many options that won't break your bank.
A great option if you want to keep costs low is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 - it's an incredible value at less than $1000 and can be used with twins, one baby and one toddler or three kids (with a 'PiggyBack' board, which you buy separately). It's the lightest tandem available. The footprint is similar to the one of one pushchair, which means it is able to be easily moved through doors and shopping aisles.
The iCandy Orange double buggies are an alternative. It has 30 different seating options, and soft suspension that makes kerbs simple. It can also be converted from single to double to grow with your family. You can even fit an additional child in the back.
Style
If you are on a tight budget it is possible to purchase some beautiful double buggies. They look stunning and are also very durable. If you choose a reputable brand, they'll also have good resale value.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 double stroller is one of the most affordable double strollers available on the market. It comes in a variety of colours and is stylish. The UPPA "PiggyBack Board" can be added to make a triple buggy. It can be used with twins as well as a toddler and baby or children in car seats. This is a perfect double buggy for urban use since it has a small frame that will fit through the majority of doors and cope with shopping aisles as well as trains, buses and other vehicles.
The iCandy Peach is another popular alternative. This is a great lightweight option that is priced at less than PS300 including the adaptors that are required for carseats. It can also be used a single and has some appealing features, including an expansive, wide shopping basket front suspension, and UPF 50+ sunshades, with peekaboo windows. There's Pushchairs And Prams that is one-parent and seats can be set to face each other or away from each other.
Double buggies with side-by-side seating are more expensive but are often easier to push than other types. They can be wide and therefore may not be able to pass through doors with narrow openings. They are more suitable for older children who like to sit together. The Mountain Buggy Duet has one of the tiniest sides-by-sides on the market.

Convenience
The Joie Evalite Duo pushchair is an excellent choice if you are on a budget but still want to be able to accommodate your children (and don't mind the slightly larger size). It folds easily, is lightweight and easy to drive. It offers ample storage for two children, generous UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out, reclining seats which are easy to adjust and a clever brake lever that is located on the handlebar. All this for a price below PS1000.
The iCandy Orange Wave double buggy is a great option if you are looking for a bargain double stroller that will fit an infant car seat. Its sleek frame can be expanded to accommodate two seats or a single stroller with an optional bassinet. It can even go up to three children when you add on UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack' running board for older children (you purchase it separately).
The seat and the carrycot are placed side-by-side, so your children will be able to see each the other and you can keep a close eye on them. This minimizes the risk of them becoming confused. It's also the tiniest on the market. This means it can fit through the majority of doors and is able to maneuver around tight corners. However, it feels long and heavy to push when in double mode and doesn't do as well on rough or uneven terrain as some of our other top-quality double buggies.
This is our top-rated double stroller. It's an excellent choice for a price that is mid-range. It's light, has an integrated shopping basket and can fit two car seats for children or one toddler and a baby. Its seat is comfy and its large back wheels are able to handle a little more rough terrain than the more compact models on our list. Additionally, it folds into an incredibly compact, self-standing design and comes with a handy carry strap for easy schlepping. It's not quite as spacious or as high-end as other top-quality doubles, but it's an excellent value.
Safety
Check that the double buggy meets all safety standards before purchasing it. The safety straps and how the seats adapt to your child's needs are crucial. Also, check if the seats are reclined in different positions for different ages. Look for an ample storage basket as well as pockets and other accessories you might need, like sunshades and rain covers.
If you intend to use the buggy primarily in town or on public transportation, you should make sure it is lightweight and easy to maneuver. You should also consider how much it weighs when fully loaded, and if it can be folded easily to fit in your car boot. If you plan to use the buggy in small towns and villages, make sure that the wheels well-gripped and are able to navigate narrow doorways and pavements.
There are many different types of double buggies with side-byside models being the most popular. They are generally longer and more difficult to push, but they offer the benefit of each child getting a view. These can be very expensive.
Tandem buggies are another option and these have the children positioned next to each other. It can be more comfortable for older children, however the buggy is less stable. It can be a challenge to get them through narrow doors and up and down the kerbs.
