Buying a Cheap Double Buggy

A little extra on a tandem stroller will ensure it lasts for a long time and retains its value. The Uppababy Vista V2 model is an extremely rated stroller which can be converted into one. It also has another seat, called the RumbleSeat that adds flexibility.

It offers a comfortable recline seat, a big canopy with UPF protection 50+ and a peekaboo window. It folds easily and compactly.

Budget

A double running buggy-buggy can be an essential item when you have two kids in tow and will not cost a fortune. It is also important to consider the cost of car seats or carrycots, as well as the price of the buggy. But even then, there are many options that won't break your budget.

A great option for those who want to keep costs low is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 - an incredible value at less than $1000 and can be used with twins or one baby, as well as one toddler or three kids (with the 'PiggyBack' boards that you can purchase separately). It's the tiniest side-by-side on the market and has the same footprint as a single pushchair so it's easy to navigate the doorways, shopping aisles and public transportation.

The iCandy Orange is another great alternative and one of our most affordable double buggies. It has 30 seating options and comes with soft suspension that can take care of the kerbs. It is also able to be converted from single to double, so that it can grow with your family. You can even put a third child at the back.

Style

You can still find some lovely double buggies on budget. They are often designed to look great and are extremely durable too. If you choose a reputable brand, they will also offer a decent resale price.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is one of the best double strollers that are available. It is available in a range of colors and is stylish. The UPPA "PiggyBack Board" could be added to create a triple buggy. It can hold twins, a toddler and an infant or child in an infant car seat. This is an ideal double buggy for city use because it has a narrow frame that will fit through most doorways and can cope with shopping aisles, buses and trains.

Another popular option is the iCandy Peach. It's a light-weight option that is priced at less than PS300, including the adaptors required for carseats. It can be used as one seat and comes with some great features such as the large wide basket, front suspension and UPF 50+ shades with a peekaboo window. There's also a cup holder that can be used by one parent, and the seats can face each other or be placed away from eachother.

Double buggies with side-by-side sides cost more, but they are much easier to push. They can be quite wide though so they might not fit through some narrow doors and are usually more suitable for older children who prefer to sit facing each other. The Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the slimmest side-by-sides available on the market.

Sites like Rebelstork provide some of the top double strollers available for sale at reasonable prices. They have both new and older models as well as open boxes and overstocks. You can try the strollers before buying. They have a trade in scheme that lets you receive a discount on your purchase if you decide that you want to upgrade.

Convenience

If you're on a budget but still want a model that can accommodate your children (and you're not afraid of an extra-large twin pushchair) The Joie Evalite Duo is a great option. Our Lab experts love that it's lightweight, easy to drive and folds into a half-length in a matter of seconds. It's got plenty of storage space for two kids, a large UPF 50+ canopy that has a peekaboo window, reclining seats which are easy to adjust and an innovative brake lever on the handlebar. All this for a price lower than PS1000.

If you need a cheap double buggy that can fit infant car seats such as the iCandy Orange Wave is another excellent option. Its sleek frame expands in width to accommodate 2 seats or a stroller seat with an option bassinet. It can also accommodate up to three kids when you add UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack' running board for children who are older (you purchase it separately).

The seat and carrycot feature side-by-side positioning, meaning your children can see each other and you'll be able to keep an eye on them, meaning you're less likely to misinterpret them. It's also the tiniest side-by-side on the market, so it should be able to pass through the majority of doors and be easily maneuvered around tight corners. However, it is heavy and long when in double tandem pushchair mode and isn't as effective on rough or uneven terrain as our other top-quality double buggies.

This is our top-rated double stroller. It's a great option for a mid-range price. It's lightweight twin buggy, comes with an integrated basket for shopping, and can fit two car seats for children or one toddler and a baby. It has a comfortable seat with big wheels on the back that are able to take on rough terrain better than some of our more compact models. It folds down into a compact, self-standing model and comes with a convenient strap for carrying. It's not as large or as well-made as other top-quality doubles, however it's an excellent value overall.

Safety

Make sure that the double buggy meets all safety standards before purchasing it. The safety straps and the way that the seats adjust to the growth of your child are vital. Also, ensure that the seats have different recline positions for different ages. Find large storage baskets as well as pockets and other accessories you might need, like sunshades and rain covers.

If you intend to use the buggy mostly in towns or on public transportation, make sure that it is light and easy to move. You'll also want to take into consideration the weight of the buggy when it's fully loaded and whether it is able to be folded and placed in your car boot. If you intend to use the buggy in smaller villages or towns, be sure that the wheels well-grip and that they can navigate through narrow streets and doors.

There are a variety of double buggies. However, the most well-known is the side-by-side model. They are more hefty and difficult to push, but they offer the benefit of both kids being capable of seeing. They can be expensive.

Tandem buggies allow the children to be positioned next each one. It is more comfortable for older children, but the buggy is less stable. It is also harder to get them through narrow doors and is difficult to go between the kerbs.

The iCandy Peach double buggy travel system (page) buggies are one of the most loved and fashionable models. It has many unique features. It has a built-in ride-on board, 'cinema seating' and 30 seating configurations - it will even hold a third child! It is light and has a great suspension, and can be converted from a single seat to a double seat with the purchase of additional seats.

Mountain Buggy Duet makes a great choice for those who are seeking a more sleek double buggy. It is the slimmest double buggy on the market, and its footprint is similar to that of a single buggy. It has a variety of configurations to allow both children to be able to explore the world. There's also a handbrake that is convenient that can be adjusted by a handlebar. With the addition of an adapter it can also be used to accommodate two infant car seats.
