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 keep its selling value. The Uppababy Vista V2 model is a top-rated stroller that can be converted into a single. It also comes with an additional seat, the RumbleSeat that allows for more flexibility.
It has a decent recline seat and a decent-sized canopy that comes with UPF 50+ protection and peekaboo windows. It's also compact and folds easily.
Budget
A double buggy can be a lifesaver for parents with two children. It will not cost a lot. You'll have to take into account car seats or carrycots as well as the cost of the buggy itself, but even then there are some amazing options on the market that won't break the bank.
A great option if you want to keep costs down is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which is an incredible value at less than PS1,000 and can be used with twins, one baby and one toddler or three children (with the 'PiggyBack' boards that you purchase separately). It is the slimmest tandem available. The footprint is similar to the footprint of one pushchair, which means it can easily be moved through doors and shopping aisles.
The iCandy Orange double buggies are another great option. It has 30 different seating options, and soft suspension to make kerbs a breeze. It also converts from single-to-double to accommodate your family and even add a third child to the back.

There are still gorgeous double buggies for a budget. Many of them look great and are extremely 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 available. It is available in a variety of colors and is attractive to take a look at. The UPPA "PiggyBack Board" can be added to create a triple buggy. It can hold twins or a toddler as well as the baby or child in an infant car seat. This is a perfect double buggy for city use as it has a small frame that will fit through the majority of doors and cope with shopping aisles, buses and trains.
The iCandy Peach is another popular alternative. It is a light option that costs less than PS300 and includes the adaptors needed for carseats. It can also be used one-person and has appealing features, including an expansive, wide shopping basket and front suspension, as well as UPF 50+ sunshades with windows that peek out. There is also a cup holder for one parent, and the seats can face each other or be placed apart.
Double buggies that are side-by-side cost more but are usually more maneuverable than other models. They can be quite big however, so they may not fit through narrow doors and are usually more suitable for older children who want to sit in a row facing each other. The Mountain Buggy Duet has one of the slimmest sides-by-sides available.
Sites like Rebelstork offer the best double strollers for sale at reasonable prices. They sell open box and overstock items, as well as new models, so you can test before buying. They have a trade in scheme that lets you get money off your purchase if you decide that you want to upgrade.
Convenience
The Joie Evalite Duo pushchair is an excellent choice if you are on a tight budget but still want to be able to accommodate your children (and do not mind the slightly larger size). It folds easily, is lightweight and easy to drive. It also provides ample storage for both children, and UPF 50+ canopies that have peekaboo 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're looking for a budget double buggy that can fit infant car seats and car seats, the iCandy Orange Wave is another excellent option. Its sleek frame can be expanded to accept 2 seats or a single stroller with an optional bassinet. You can carry up to three children with the UPPAbaby "PiggyBack," the running board for older kids (which you purchase separately).
Seat and carrycots are set on opposite sides, which means your children can see each other and you can keep an eye on them. This minimizes the risk of them getting confused. It's also the tiniest side-by-side on the market, so it should pass through most doors and is able to be easily steered around tight corners. However, it does feel heavy and long to push when in double mode and doesn't do as well on uneven or rough terrain like some of our best-value double buggies.
This is our top-rated double stroller. It's a great option for a price that is mid-range. It's lightweight, has an easy-to-use shopping basket and can accommodate two car seats for children, or one baby seat and an infant seat. Its seat is comfortable and its large back wheels are able to handle a little more rough terrain than some of the more compact models on our list. It folds down into a compact, self-standing shape and comes with a handy carry strap for easy schlepping. It's not as big or as luxurious as some of the other top-quality doubles, however it's a great value overall.
Safety
Make sure 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 whether they have different reclining positions to suit their age. Look for a large storage basket as well as pockets and other accessories you might need, like sunshades and rain covers.
If you are going to be using the buggy mainly around town or on public transport, make sure that it is light and easy to move. Also, think about how much it weighs fully loaded and whether it is easy to fold up and fit in your car boot. If you use the buggy a lot in villages or small towns, check that the wheels have plenty of grip and can navigate narrow streets and doors.
There are many kinds of double buggies and side-by-side models are the most well-known. These tend to be longer and more difficult to push, but they do offer the advantage of both children being able to see. They can also be quite expensive.
Tandem buggies are an alternative and have the kids placed next to one another. It is more comfortable for older children, but the buggy will not be as stable. It is also harder to get them through narrow doors, and it can be hard work going between the kerbs.
The iCandy Peach double buggies are one of the most sought-after and stylish models. It is unique in its features. This includes a built-in riding board with a cinema seating option and 30 seating configurations - it will even hold a third child! It is also lightweight and has good suspension. It can convert from single to double with the purchase of an additional seat.
If you are looking for a more sleek double buggy the Mountain Buggy Duet is an excellent choice.

It also has an easy handbrake with an adjustable handlebar. With the addition of an adapter it can also accommodate two infant car seats.
