Buying a Cheap Double Buggy
A little more money spent on a tandem stroller will ensure it lasts for a long time and retains its value. The Uppababy Vista V2 is a top-rated model that is able to convert to a single and has another seat, the RumbleSeat which offers flexibility.
It has a decent recline seat and a large canopy with UPF 50+ protection and peekaboo windows. It folds up easily and compactly.
Budget
A double buggy can be lifesaver for parents with two young children. It isn't expensive. You'll also have to think about the cost of car seats or carrycots, as well as the cost of the buggy. However, there are many alternatives that won't break the bank.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is a great option if you're looking to save money. It's under PS1,000, and it can fit twins as well as a baby and toddler or even three kids with a 'PiggyBack' board (which you can purchase separately). It's the slimmest side-by-side on the market and has the same footprint as a single pushchair so it's easy to maneuver through the doorways, shopping aisles and public transport.
The iCandy Orange double buggies are another option. It comes with 30 different seating configurations, and soft suspension to make kerbs easy. It is also able to be converted from single to double so that it grows with your family. You can even put an additional child in the back.
Style
If you're on a tight budget, you can still buy some beautiful double buggies. Many of them look great and are also very durable. You can also find an excellent resale price by choosing a reputable brand.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 double stroller is among the most affordable double strollers on the market. It is available in a variety of colours and is really elegant to look at. It can be used as a triple buggy by incorporating the UPPA's own 'PiggyBack' boards. It can take twins, a baby and toddler or the child in a car seat. This is a great double buggy for city use because it has a slim frame that fits through the majority of doors. It can also cope with shopping aisles as well as trains, buses and other vehicles.
The iCandy Peach is another popular alternative. It's a fantastic light option and costs less than PS300 including the adaptors needed for carseats. It can be used as an individual seat and comes with some nice features like a large spacious basket, front suspension and UPF 50+ shades with windows that peek out. There is a nice cup holder that is one-parent and seats can be set to face one another or to separate from each other.
Side-by-side double buggies cost more but are generally easier to push than other types. They can be quite large though so they might not fit through some narrow doors and are usually best suited 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.
twin pushchairs like Rebelstork provide some of the best double strollers for sale at reasonable prices. pushchair twin sell open box and overstock items, as well as new models so you can try before buying. They have a trade in scheme that allows you to get money off your purchase if you decide 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 having a little more bulky pushchair), the Joie Evalite Duo is a excellent choice. It folds easily, is light and smooth to drive. It also has ample storage for both children and adults, as well as UPF 50+ canopies that have the ability to peek out windows, reclined seats that are simple to adjust, and a clever brake lever that can be operated with one hand on the handlebar - all for a price point well below PS1000.
If you're looking for a budget double buggy that can accommodate infant car seats such as the iCandy Orange Wave is another suitable option. Its sleek frame expands in width to accommodate 2 seats or one stroller with a bassinet that can be added. It can even go up to three children when you add UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack' running board for older children (you purchase it separately).
The seat and the carrycot are side-by-side positioning, meaning your children can see each other and you can keep an eye on them, so you're less likely to misinterpret them. It's also the tiniest on the market. This means it can fit through the majority of doors and 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 uneven or rough terrain as some of our other top-quality double buggies.
This is a great mid-range choice, and our top-rated double buggy. It is lightweight, has an integrated basket for shopping, and it can be used with two car seats for children, or one toddler and a baby. The 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 the compact self-standing shape and has a convenient carry strap that allows for easy schlepping. It's not as spacious or as luxurious as some of the top-quality doubles, but it's a great value overall.
Safety
When purchasing a double stroller, make sure it is in compliance with all the necessary safety standards. This includes safety straps, the way that the seats adjust to accommodate your growing children and if they come with different recline positions to match their age. Also look for a spacious storage basket with pockets and whether there are any other extras that are useful, such as sunshades or rain covers.
If you are going to be using the buggy primarily in the city or on public transport, make sure whether it is light and easy to maneuver. You should also think about how much it weighs fully loaded, and if it can be folded easily to fit into the car boot. If you use the buggy frequently in small towns or villages check that the wheels are able to grip and are able to navigate narrow streets and doorways.
There are a variety of double buggies with side-byside models being the most popular. They are more hefty and difficult to push but offer the benefit of both children being in a position to see. These can be quite expensive.
Tandem buggies are a different option and they have the children placed next to one another. This is a more comfortable option for older children, however it also means that the buggy is less stable than a side by side. It is also harder to fit them into narrow doors and can be difficult to maneuver between the kerbs.
The iCandy Peach is one of the top double buggies in sales and is a fashionable bit of kit that has numerous unique features. This includes a built-in riding board with a cinema seating option and 30 seating configurations. It will even hold an additional child! It's also lightweight and has good suspension. It can be converted from single to double by the purchase of an additional seat.
Mountain Buggy Duet makes a excellent option for those looking for a more streamlined double buggy. It is the slimmest double buggy available and its footprint is comparable to that of a single-buggy. It has several configurations that allow both children to be able to explore the world. There is also a handbrake that is convenient that can be adjusted by a handlebar. With the addition of an adapter, it can also fit two infant car seats.
