Buying a Cheap Double Buggy
A little extra on a tandem stroller will ensure it lasts for many years and retains its value. The Uppababy Vista V2 model is an excellent stroller that can be converted to one. It also comes with another seat, called the RumbleSeat that adds flexibility.
It offers a comfortable seat recline, a large canopy with UPF protection 50+ and a peekaboo view. It also folds easily and compactly.
Budget
A double buggy can be lifesaver for parents with two young children. It shouldn't cost a fortune. You'll also need to consider the price of car seats or carrycots, in addition to the cost of the buggy. But even if you do there are plenty of options that won't break the 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 less than PS1,000 and can accommodate twins with one baby and one toddler or three kids (with the 'PiggyBack' board that you can purchase separately). It's the lightest tandem on the market. The footprint is similar to the one of one pushchair, which means it is able to be easily pushed through doorways and shopping aisles.
The iCandy Orange double buggies are an alternative. It has 30 different seating options, and soft suspension that makes kerbs simple. It can also be converted from single to double to accommodate your family and can even accommodate a third child in the back.
Style
If you're on a budget it is possible to purchase some gorgeous double buggies. Many of them look beautiful and are also very durable. You can also get the best price for resales if you choose a popular brand.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is one of the best budget double strollers available. It comes in a range of colors and is elegant to see. The UPPA "PiggyBack Board" can be added to make it a triple buggy. It can be used to accommodate twins or a toddler, as well as a baby or a child in a car seat for infants. This is a double buggy that is perfect for city use. It has a narrow frame that can fit through most doors and can handle shopping aisles and trains.
Another option that is popular is the iCandy Peach. It is a light option and costs less than PS300 including the adaptors needed to fit carseats. It can also be used as one-person and has nice features such as a wide, spacious shopping basket front suspension, and UPF 50+ sunshades with windows that can be seen from a distance. There's a nice cup holder that is one-parent and the seats can be positioned to face one another or to be a distance away from one another.
Double buggies that are side-byside cost more, however they are easier to push. They can be quite large though so they might not fit through narrow doors, and are generally better suited to older children who prefer to sit facing one another. The Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the slimmest side-by-sides on the market.
You can find some of the best cheap double strollers online at sites such as Rebelstork. stokke double stroller offer both old and new models, as well as open boxes and overstocks.

Convenience
The Joie Evalite Duo pushchair is a great choice if you are on a tight budget but still want to accommodate your children (and aren't averse to the slightly larger size). Our Lab experts love that it's light, smooth to drive and folds into a half-length in a matter of minutes. It also provides ample storage for both kids, plus generous UPF 50+ canopy with the ability to peek out windows, reclined seats that are easy to adjust, and a smart brake lever that can be operated with one hand on the handlebar - all at a price point well below PS1000.
If you are looking for a low-cost double stroller that can also accommodate infant car seats and car seats, the iCandy Orange Wave is another excellent option. Its sleek frame increases in width to accommodate 2 seats or one stroller with a bassinet option. It can even go up to three kids when you add UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack running board for older children (you purchase it separately).
The seat and the carrycot are placed on opposite sides, which means your children will be able to see each one another and you will be able to keep an eye on them. This decreases the chances of them getting confused. It's also one of the slimmest side-bysides available, so it should pass through most doors and be easily maneuvered around tight corners. However, tandem double stroller feels heavy and long when in double mode. It also doesn't do as well on uneven or rough terrain as some of our other best-value double buggies.
This is our top-rated double stroller. It's a great choice for a moderate price. It's lightweight, comes with an integrated shopping basket, and it can be used with two child car seats, or one toddler and one baby. It features a comfortable and spacious seat and large wheels on the back that can take on rough terrain better than some of our less compact models. 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 luxurious as other high-end doubles but it's still an excellent value.
Safety
When you purchase a double buggy, you should check that it is in compliance with all the necessary safety standards. double tandem pushchair includes the safety straps, the way that the seats adjust as your children grow and if they come with different recline positions to match their age. Look for a large storage basket along with pockets and other items you may find useful, such as sunshades and rain covers.
If you plan to use your buggy mostly in towns or on public transportation, make sure it is lightweight and easy to move. Also, consider how much it weighs when fully loaded and whether it is easy to fold up and fit in your car boot. If you plan to use the buggy in smaller villages and towns, make sure that the wheels well-gripped and are able to navigate narrow doorways and pavements.
There are a variety of double buggies, however the most well-known is the side-by-side model. They are longer and harder to push but offer the advantage of both children being in a position to see. These can be very expensive.
Tandem buggies are another option and have the kids positioned next to each other. This can be more comfortable for older children, but it also means that the buggy is less stable than a side-by-side. It can also be difficult to get them through narrow doors, and it can be difficult to go between kerbs.
The iCandy Peach double buggies are one of the most sought-after and stylish models. It comes with a variety of unique features. It has a built-in board for riding on, "cinema seating" and 30 different seating options. It can even fit an additional child. It is light and has a good suspension and can be transformed from a single seat to a double-seater with the purchase of supplementary seats.
