Buying a Cheap Double Buggy

A little extra on a tandem stroller will ensure it lasts for a long time and will retain its value. The Uppababy Vista V2 is a top-rated model that can convert to a single stroller and comes with another seat, the RumbleSeat which adds versatility.

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

Budget

A double buggy can be a lifesaver for parents with two children. It isn't expensive. You'll need to factor in car seats or carrycots in addition to the price of the buggy but there are some amazing alternatives available that won't break the bank.

A great option if you want to keep costs low is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 - an amazing value for money at under PS1,000 and can take twins, one baby and one toddler or three kids (with a 'PiggyBack' board that you can purchase separately). It's the most compact side-by-side available on the market, and comes with an area that's as big as a single pushchair so it's easy to navigate doorways, shopping aisles and public transportation.

The iCandy Orange double buggies are another option. It comes with 30 different seating options, and soft suspension that makes kerbs simple. It can also be converted from single to double so it can grow with your family and even accommodate a third child in the back.

Style

If you're on a budget, you can still buy some stunning double buggies. They look stunning and are also very durable. You can also enjoy the best price for resales if you choose a popular brand.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is one of the best budget double strollers on the market. It comes in a variety of colors and is stylish to see. It can be used as a triple buggy by incorporating the UPPA's 'PiggyBack' board. It can be used with twins as well as a toddler and baby or children in a car seat. This is a great double buggy for urban use since it has a small frame that can be pushed through most doorways and can handle shopping aisles, buses and trains.

Another option that is popular is the iCandy Peach. It is a light option that costs less than PS300 with the adaptors needed for carseats. It can be used as an individual seat and comes with several nice features, including the large, spacious basket, front suspension, and UPF 50+ shades with a windows that peek out. There's a great cup holder with a single 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 generally easier to push than other kinds. They can be quite large though so they might not fit through some narrow doors. They are typically better suited to older children who prefer to be seated facing each other. The Mountain Buggy Duet has one of the slimmest sides-by-sides available.

Sites like Rebelstork provide some of the top double strollers available for sale at reasonable prices. They have new and old models and open boxes and overstocks. You can try them before you buy. They offer a trade-in scheme that allows you to receive a discount on your purchase if you decide upgrade.

Convenience


If you're on a budget but still want a product that will accommodate your children (and you're not afraid of a slightly bulkier pushchair), the Joie Evalite Duo is a good choice. Our Lab experts love that it's lightweight, easy to drive and folds in just a few minutes. It also provides ample storage for both children and adults, as well as UPF 50+ canopies that have peekaboo windows; reclining seats that are easy to adjust, as well as a clever brake lever that can be operated with one hand on the handlebar, all at the price of PS1000.

The iCandy Orange Wave double buggy is a good choice when you're looking for a cheap double stroller that can accommodate infant car seats. Its slick frame can be expanded to accommodate two seats or a single stroller with an optional bassinet. You can carry up to three kids with the UPPAbaby 'PiggyBack,' the running board for older kids (which you purchase separately).

The seat and carrycot feature side-by-side placement, which means your children can see each other, and you'll have an eye on them, so there's less chance of mischance between them. It's also one of the slimmest side-bysides on the market which means it will fit through most doorways and can be steered easily around tight corners. It's a bit heavy and lengthy to push in double mode, and doesn't perform as well as some of the best double buggies in rough or uneven terrain.

This is a great mid-priced choice, and our top-rated double buggy. It is lightweight, has an integrated basket for shopping, and it can accommodate two child car seats, or one baby and a toddler. The seat is comfortable, and its big back wheels can cope with some rough terrain than the more compact models on our list. It also folds into a compact self-standing form and comes with a handy strap for carrying. It's not as spacious or luxurious as other high-end doubles but it's still a great deal.

Safety

When purchasing a double stroller, make sure it meets all important safety standards. The safety straps as well as the way in which the seats adapt to your child's needs are vital. 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 extras that could be useful, like sunshades or rain covers.

If you are planning to use the buggy primarily in towns or on public transport, make sure it's lightweight and easy to move. You will also need to take into consideration how much it weighs when fully loaded, and if it can be folded easily to fit into the car boot. If you use the buggy a lot in small towns or villages check that the wheels have plenty of grip and can navigate narrow pavements and doors.

There are a myriad of double buggies. However, the most popular is the side-byside model. They are generally longer and more difficult to push, however they offer the benefit of each child being able to see. They can also be pricey.

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