Buying a Cheap Double Buggy

A little more money spent on a tandem stroller will ensure that it lasts for a long time and is still worth its price. The Uppababy Vista V2 model is an excellent stroller which can be converted into a single. It also comes with an additional seat, the RumbleSeat that allows for more flexibility.

It has decent seat recline and a decent-sized canopy that comes with UPF 50+ protection and windows that peek out. It also folds easily and compactly.

Budget

A good double buggy is a lifesaver when you have two young kids in the car and will not cost a fortune. It is also important to consider the cost of car seats and carrycots, and the cost of the buggy. But even if you do there are plenty of options that won't break your bank.

A great option for those who want to keep costs down is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which is an amazing value for money at under PS1,000 and can take twins or one baby, as well as one toddler or three kids (with the 'PiggyBack' board that you can purchase separately). It is the slimmest tandem on the market. The footprint is similar to the footprint of a single pushchair, so it can easily be moved through doors and shopping aisles.

The iCandy Orange double buggies are an alternative. It comes with 30 different seating configurations, and soft suspension to make kerbs a breeze. It also converts from single-to-double to accommodate your family and can even add a third child to the back.

Style

If you're on a tight budget it is possible to purchase some beautiful double buggies. They are often designed to look stunning and are very durable too. If you choose a well-known brand, they'll also have good resale value.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is one of the most affordable double strollers that are available. It is available 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 own 'PiggyBack' boards. It can accommodate twins, a baby and toddler or a child in car seats. This is a double buggy that is ideal for use in cities. It has a slim frame that can fit through most doors and handle trains and shopping aisles.

The iCandy Peach is another popular alternative. This is a lightweight option that costs less than PS300 and includes the adaptors required for carseats. It can be used as an individual seat and comes with some great features such as a large wide basket, front suspension, and UPF 50+ shades 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 set away from one another.

Double buggies that are side-by-side cost more, but they are much easier to push. They can be wide, so they may not pass through doors that are narrow. They are more suitable for older children who prefer to sit together. The Mountain Buggy Duet has one of the slimmest sides-by-sides that are available.

Sites like Rebelstork offer some of the best double strollers that are available for sale at a reasonable price. They offer both old and new models, as well as open boxes and overstocks. You can test them before purchasing. They have a trade in scheme that allows you to get 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 kids (and you're okay with an extra-large pushchair), the Joie Evalite Duo is a good choice. Our Lab experts love that it's lightweight, easy to drive and folds in half in a few seconds. It also provides ample storage for both kids, plus generous UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows, reclining seats that are easy to adjust, and a clever brake lever that can be operated with one hand on the handlebar - all at a price point well below PS1000.

If you're looking for a budget double stroller with infant car seat buggy that can accommodate infant car seats, the iCandy Orange Wave is another suitable option. Its sleek frame can be expanded in size to accommodate two seats or one stroller with an option bassinet. You can take up to three kids with the UPPAbaby 'PiggyBack,' the running board for older kids (which you buy separately).

The seat and the carrycot are side-by-side seating, meaning that your children will be able to see each other, and you'll be able to keep an eye on them, which means there's less chance of mistaking them. It is also the slimmest available. This means it will pass through most doors and is able to maneuver around corners that are tight. However, it does feel long and heavy to push when in double mode. It also does not perform as well on uneven or rough terrain like some of our best-value double buggies.

This is a great mid-range choice, and our top-rated nipper double buggy stroller. It is lightweight, has an integrated basket for shopping, and it can accommodate two child car seats, or one toddler and a baby. It comes with a comfortable seat and big wheels on the back that are able to handle rougher terrain than our more compact models. It also folds into a compact self-standing design and comes with a convenient strap for transport. It's not as large or as luxurious as some of the top-quality doubles, but it's a great price overall.

Safety

Verify that the double stroller meets all safety standards prior to buying it. This includes safety straps, how the seats adjust as your children grow and whether they have various reclining positions that are appropriate for their age. Also look for a spacious storage basket and pockets, and whether there are any other items that are useful, like sunshades, rain covers.

If you intend to use your buggy mostly in the city or on public transportation, you should make sure it is lightweight and easy to maneuver. You should also consider how much it weighs fully loaded, and if it is easy to fold and fit into your car boot. If you use the buggy often in small towns or villages make sure the wheels have plenty of grip and that it can negotiate the narrow roads and doorways.

There are a variety of double buggies, but the most well-known is the side-by-side model. They are larger and more difficult to push but offer the benefit of both kids being in a position to see. They can also be expensive.

Tandem buggies are a different option and have the kids positioned next to each other. This can be more comfortable for older children, but it does mean that the twin buggy is less stable than a side-byside. It can be a challenge to get them through narrow doors and up and down the kerbs.

The iCandy Peach is one of the best-selling double buggies and is a stylish piece of kit with plenty of unique features. It comes with a built-in board for rides, "cinema seating" and 30 different seating configurations. It can even fit the third child. It is lightweight, has a good suspension and can be transformed from a single and double stroller to a double buggy from birth seat with the purchase of supplementary seats.

Mountain Buggy Duet makes a great choice for those seeking a more sleek, Nipper Double Buggy buggy. It is the thinnest side-byside on the market and has an area that is comparable to one buggy. It comes with a variety of configurations to ensure that both children are able to see the world, and it has a handy handbrake that is adjustable handlebar. It can also accommodate two infant car seats with the addition of an adapter.
