Why We Enjoy Cheap Double Buggy (And You Should Also!)
Buying a Cheap Double Buggy
Parents who are willing to pay a little more can buy a top-quality tandem stroller that will last for a long time and keep its resale value. The Uppababy Vista V2 model is a top-rated stroller that can be converted into one. It also has another seat, called the RumbleSeat that adds flexibility.
It offers a comfortable recline for the seat, as well as a huge canopy with UPF protection 50+ and a peekaboo view. It's also small and folds easily.
Budget
A double buggy can be a lifesaver for parents with two children. It shouldn't cost a fortune. You'll have to take into account car seats or carrycots, as well as the price of the buggy, but even then there are plenty of alternatives available that won't cost a fortune.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent choice if you're trying to save money. It's priced at less than PS1,000 and it can fit twins or a baby and toddler, or even three kids with 'PiggyBack board' (which you purchase separately). It's the slimmest side-by-side that's available and has an area that's as big as a single pushchair. This means it's easy to navigate doorways, shopping aisles and public transportation.
The iCandy Orange is another great alternative and one of our top budget double buggies. It has 30 seating configurations and features soft suspension that makes light work of kerbs. It also converts from single to double so it can grow with your family and even add a third child to the back.
Style
You can still find some gorgeous double buggies for an affordable budget. Many of them are designed to look beautiful and are very durable too. You can also get an excellent resale price by choosing a reputable brand.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is one of the best budget double strollers available. It comes in a range of colors and is stylish to look at. It can be used as a triple buggy by adding the UPPA's 'PiggyBack' board. It can be used to accommodate twins, a toddler and the baby or child in an infant car seat. This is a double buggy that is perfect for city use. It has a small frame that can fit through the majority of doors and handle trains and shopping aisles.
The iCandy Peach is another popular alternative. This is a great lightweight option that is priced at less than PS300 including the adaptors required for carseats. It can also be used a single and has some attractive features like a wide, spacious shopping basket and front suspension, as well as 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 away from each other.
Double buggies that are side-by-side cost more, but they are much easier to push. They can be quite wide though so they might not fit through some narrow doors. They are typically better suited to 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.
There are some of the best cheap double strollers online on sites like Rebelstork. They have new and old models as well as open boxes and overstocks. You can test them before you buy. They also offer a trade-in plan which allows you to earn cash back when you decide to upgrade.
Convenience
If you're looking to save money but still want a model that can accommodate your kids (and you're not afraid of having a little more bulky pushchair) The Joie Evalite Duo is a great option. Our Lab experts like that it's light, smooth to drive and folds in just a few minutes. It has good storage for two children, generous UPF 50+ canopy that has a peekaboo window and reclining seats that are easy to adjust, and an innovative brake lever on the handlebar. All this at a price well below PS1000.
If single to double buggy Push Chairs And Prams are looking for a low-cost double buggy that can accommodate infant car seats and car seats, the iCandy Orange Wave is another excellent option. Its sleek frame expands in width to accommodate two seats or a stroller seat with an option bassinet. You can take up to three children with the UPPAbaby 'PiggyBack,' an exercise board for older kids (which is available separately).
The seat and carrycot have side-by-side positioning, meaning your children will be able to see each other and you can keep an eye on them, which means there's less chance of mischance between 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 can be steered easily around tight corners. However, it is heavy and long when in double mode and isn't as effective on rough or uneven terrain as some of our other best-value double buggies.
This is a great mid-priced option and our top-rated double buggy. It's light, has an integrated shopping basket and it can be used with two car seats for children or one toddler and a baby. Its seat is comfortable, and its big back wheels can cope with rough terrain than some of the smaller models on our list. It folds down into a compact, self-standing shape and comes with a handy carry strap that makes it easy to transport. It's not as big or high-quality as other best-value doubles, but it's an excellent value.
Safety
Verify that the double stroller meets all safety standards prior to purchasing it. This includes the safety straps, the way that the seats can be adjusted as your children grow and if they come with various reclining positions that are appropriate for their age. Also, look for a large storage basket with pockets and whether there are any other items that might be useful such as sunshades or rain covers.
If you plan to use the buggy primarily in the city or on public transportation, make sure it's lightweight and easy to move. You should also take into consideration the weight of the buggy when fully loaded and whether it is easy to fold and fit in your car boot. If you use the buggy often in small towns or villages, make sure the wheels are well-groomed and are able to navigate narrow streets and doorways.
There are a variety of double buggies. However, the most well-known is the side-by-side model. They are larger and more difficult to push, but have the benefit of both children being able to see. They can also be quite pricey.
Tandem buggies allow the children to be positioned next each one. This is a more comfortable option for older children, but it also means that the buggy is less stable than a side-byside. It can also be difficult to navigate narrow doors, and up and down kerbs.

It has a built-in ride-on board, 'cinema seating' and 30 seating configurations - it can even accommodate a third child!
