Buying a Cheap Double Buggy
Parents who are willing to pay an extra amount can purchase a high-quality tandem stroller that will last for many years and retain its resale value. The Uppababy Vista V2 model is an extremely rated stroller that can be converted into a single. It also has another seat, called the RumbleSeat that allows for more flexibility.
It comes with a decent recline for the seat, as well as a huge canopy that has UPF protection of 50+ and a peekaboo view. It's also compact and folds easily.
Budget
A double buggy can be lifesaver for parents with two young 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 there are plenty of alternatives available that won't break the bank.
An excellent option if you want to keep costs down is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 - an incredible value at less than PS1,000 and can be used with twins with one baby and one toddler or three children (with the 'PiggyBack' board that you can purchase separately). It's the tiniest tandem available. The footprint is similar to the footprint of a single pushchair, so it can easily be pushed through doorways and shopping aisles.
The iCandy Orange is another great option and is one of our most affordable double buggies. It has 30 seating options and soft suspension that allows for easy work of kerbs. It can also be converted from single to double, so that it can grow with your family. You can even put an additional child in the back.
Style
There are still beautiful double buggies that are on an affordable budget. Many of them are designed to look stunning and are very durable too. If you select a well-known brand, they'll have good resale value.

It can be used as a triple buggy by adding UPPA's separate 'PiggyBack' board. It can accommodate twins or a toddler and a baby or children in car seats. This is an ideal double buggy for city use because it has a slim frame that fits through the majority of doors and cope with shopping aisles buses, trains and even busses.
The iCandy Peach is another popular option. It's a fantastic light alternative that costs less than PS300 including the adaptors needed for carseats. It can also be used as a single and has some attractive features like a wide, spacious shopping basket, front suspension and UPF 50+ sunshades that have windows that peek out. There is also a cup holder that can be used by one parent. The seats can face each other or be placed away from eachother.
Double buggies that are side-by-side cost more, but are easier to push. They can be quite large however, so they may not fit through some narrow doors, and are generally better suited to older children who prefer to sit in a row facing one another. The Mountain Buggy Duet has one of the tiniest sides-by-sides on the market.

Convenience
If you're looking to save money, but still want a product that will accommodate your children (and you're not afraid of having a little more bulky pushchair) then the Joie Evalite Duo is a good choice. It's easy to fold and is light and smooth to drive. It also provides ample storage for both children, plus generous UPF 50+ canopy with the ability to peek out windows, reclined seats that are easy to adjust, as well as a clever one-handed brake lever on the handlebar - all for the price of PS1000.
If you are looking for a low-cost double buggy that can accommodate infant car seats and car seats, the iCandy Orange Wave is another good choice. Its sleek frame expands in width to accommodate two seats or a stroller seat with an option bassinet. You can carry up to three children with the UPPAbaby "PiggyBack," an exercise board for older children (which you purchase separately).
Seat and carrycot are positioned side-by-side, so your children can see each the other and you will be able to keep an eye on them. This decreases the chances of them being confused. It's also the thinnest available. This means it will fit through the majority of doors and can be maneuvered around tight corners. However, it is heavy and long to push 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 a great choice for a moderate price. It's light, has an integrated shopping basket, and it can accommodate two child car seats, or one baby and a toddler. It has a comfortable seat and large wheels on the back that are able to be more robust than our more compact models. It folds down into an incredibly compact, self-standing design and comes with a handy carry strap that allows for easy schlepping. It's not as big or high-quality as other best-value doubles, but it's a great deal.
Safety
Check that the double buggy meets all safety standards prior to purchasing it. The safety straps as well as the way in which the seats adapt to your child's needs are crucial. Also, ensure that the seats have different recline positions for different ages. Also look for a spacious storage basket with pockets and whether there are other accessories that might be useful like sunshades or rain covers.
If you plan to use the buggy mostly in the city or on public transport, make sure it's lightweight and easy to maneuver. You will also need to consider the weight of the buggy when fully loaded and whether it can be folded easily to fit into your car boot. If you are using the buggy often in small towns or villages check that the wheels are well-groomed and can navigate narrow streets and doorways.
