Buying a Cheap Double Buggy
Spending a little more on a tandem stroller will ensure that it lasts for many years and retains its value. The Uppababy Vista V2 is a top-rated model that converts to a single twin stroller and comes with another seat and a RumbleSeat, that adds versatility.
It has decent seat recline and a large canopy with UPF 50+ protection as well as windows that peek out. It is also compact and folds easily.
Budget
A double-buggy can be a lifesaver when you have two kids with you and will not cost a fortune. You'll have to take into account car seats or carrycots as well as the cost of the buggy itself but there are some fantastic options available that won't break the bank.
A great option if you are looking to cut costs is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 - an amazing value for money at less than $1000 and can take twins or one baby, as well as one toddler or three children (with a 'PiggyBack' board that 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 doorways, shopping aisles and public transportation.
The iCandy Orange is another great option and is one of our favourite budget double buggies. It comes with 30 seating options and soft suspension that can take care of the kerbs. It can also be converted from single to double to grow with your family. You can even fit a third child at the back.
Style
You can still find some beautiful double buggies that are on an affordable budget. Many of them look great and are extremely durable. If you choose a well-known brand, they will also have good resale value.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 double stroller is one of the most affordable double stroller with infant car seat strollers available on the market. It is available in a variety of colours and is really attractive to take a look at. The UPPA "PiggyBack Board" could be added to make a triple buggy. It can take twins, a baby and toddler or children in car seats. This is a double buggy that is ideal for city use. It has a small frame that fits through the majority of doors and handle trains and shopping aisles.
Another popular option is the iCandy Peach. It's a fantastic light option that is priced at less than PS300 including the adaptors needed to fit carseats. It can also be used one-person and has nice features such as a large, spacious shopping basket front suspension, and UPF 50+ sunshades, with windows that peek out. There's a nice one-parent cup holder and the seats can be positioned to face one another or to separate from each other.
Double buggies that are side-byside cost more, but they are much easier to push. They aren't always wide which means they won't pass through doors that are narrow. They are more suitable for older children who prefer to sit n stand double stroller with their parents. The Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the slimmest side-by sides on the market.
Sites like Rebelstork offer some of the most popular Pushchairs double strollers for sale at affordable prices. They have both new and older models, as well as 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 the purchase if you decide to upgrade.
Convenience
The Joie Evalite Duo pushchair is a great 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). Our Lab experts love that it's light and easy to drive and folds in just a few seconds. It also offers good storage for both children, as well as UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows, reclining seats that are easy to adjust, and a smart brake lever that is one-handed on the handlebar - all at an affordable price of PS1000.
The iCandy Orange Wave double buggy is a good choice if you are looking for a bargain double stroller that can fit an infant car seat. Its sleek frame can be expanded to accept 2 seats or a single stroller with a bassinet option. It can accommodate up to three kids with the UPPAbaby "PiggyBack," a running board for older kids (which is available separately).
The seat and carrycot have side-by-side placement, which means your children will be able to see each other, and you'll have an eye on them, which means there's less chance of mistaking them. It's also one of the slimmest side-bysides on the market which means it will fit through most doorways and is able to be easily steered around tight corners. However, it is heavy and long when in double mode. It also does not perform as well on uneven or rough terrain like some of our top-quality double buggies.
This is our top-rated double stroller. It's an excellent choice for a moderate price. It's lightweight, has an easy-to-use shopping basket and can take two car seats for children, or one baby seat as well as a toddler seat. It features a comfortable and spacious seat with big wheels on the back that are able to handle rougher terrain than our more compact twin stroller models. It folds down into a compact, self-standing shape and has a convenient carry strap that makes it easy to transport. It's not as big or as high-quality as other best twin stroller-value doubles, but it's a great price overall.
Safety
Make sure that the double buggy meets all safety standards prior to buying it. The safety straps and the way that the seats adjust to your child's growth are vital. Also, make sure that the seats are reclined in different positions for each age group. Look for a large storage basket, pockets and any extras you may find useful, such as sunshades and rain covers.
If you're planning to use the buggy mostly around town or on public transport, make sure that it is lightweight and easy to move. You should also think about the weight of the buggy when it's fully loaded, and if it can be folded and fitted in your car boot. If you intend to use the buggy in small towns and villages, make sure that the wheels are 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 advantage of both children being capable of seeing. They can be expensive.
Tandem buggies permit children to be positioned next each other. It is more comfortable for older children, but the buggy will not be as stable. It is also harder to fit them through narrow doors and can be difficult to go up and down the kerbs.
