Buying a Cheap Double Buggy

Parents who are willing to spend a bit more can get an excellent tandem stroller that will last for many years and keep its price for resales. The Uppababy Vista V2 is a top-rated model that can convert to a single and has another seat and a RumbleSeat which offers flexibility.

It offers a decent recline for the seat and a large canopy with UPF 50+ protection and peekaboo windows. It's also small and folds up easily.

Budget

A good double buggy can be an absolute lifesaver when you have two children in tow, and it will not cost a fortune. It is important to consider car seats or carrycots as well as the price of the buggy but there are some amazing alternatives available that won't break the bank.

A great option if you want to keep costs down is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which is an amazing value for money at less than $1000 and can accommodate twins with one baby and one toddler or three children (with the 'PiggyBack' board that you can purchase separately). It is the slimmest tandem on the market. 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 double buggies are an alternative. It has 30 different seating options, and soft suspension that makes kerbs simple. It can also be changed from a single to a double so that it grows with your family. It can even accommodate another child in the back.

Style

If you are on a budget, you can still buy some gorgeous double pram pushchair buggies. Many of them look beautiful and are also very durable. If you select a well-known brand, they will also have a good resale value.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is one of the best budget double strollers that are available. It comes in a variety of colours and looks really elegant. It can also be used as an extra triple twin pushchairs buggy from birth (click the following page) by using the UPPA's own 'PiggyBack' boards. It can take twins or a toddler and a baby or the child in a car seat. This is a double buggy that is perfect for city use. It has a slim frame that fits through the majority of doors and handle shopping aisles and trains.

The iCandy Peach is another popular option. It's a fantastic light option that is priced at less than PS300 including the adaptors required to fit carseats. It can also be used as an individual and comes with appealing features, including a large, spacious shopping basket, front suspension and UPF 50+ sunshades with windows that can be seen from a distance. There is a nice one-parent cup holder and seats can be set to face one another or to be a distance away from one another.

Double buggies with side-by-side sides cost more, however they are easier to push. They can be quite large however, so they may not fit through narrow doors, and are generally more suitable for older children who prefer to sit facing one another. The Mountain Buggy Duet has one of the slimmest sides-by-sides that are available.

Sites like Rebelstork offer some of the most popular double strollers that are available for sale at a reasonable price. They have both new and older models, as well as open boxes and overstocks. You can test them before you buy. They also have a trade-in scheme which allows you to earn cash back if you decide to upgrade.

Convenience

If you're on a tight budget but still want a model that can accommodate your children (and you don't mind having a little more bulky pushchair), the Joie Evalite Duo is a great option. Our Lab experts love that it's light, smooth to drive and folds in just a few minutes. It also provides ample storage for both kids, plus generous UPF 50+ canopy with the ability to peek out windows, reclining seats that are easy to adjust, and a smart one-handed brake lever on the handlebar, all at a price point well below PS1000.

If you're looking for a budget double to single buggy buggy that can fit infant car seats and car seats, the iCandy Orange Wave is another excellent option. Its sleek frame can be expanded in width to accommodate 2 seats or one stroller seat with an option bassinet. It can accommodate up to three children using the UPPAbaby "PiggyBack," an exercise board for older children (which you purchase separately).

Seat and carrycot are positioned in a row, so that your children can see each one another and you can keep a close eye on them. This reduces the chance of them becoming confused. It's also one of the slimmest side-bysides on the market which means it will be able to pass through the majority of doors and is able to be easily steered around tight corners. However, it feels heavy and long to push when it's in double buggy travel system mode, and does not perform as well on uneven or rough terrain like some of our best-value double buggies.

This is a great mid-range choice and our top-rated double stroller. It's lightweight, has a convenient shopping basket and can fit two car seats for children, or one baby seat and an infant seat. Its seat is comfortable, and its big back wheels are able to handle rough terrain than some of the more compact models on our list. It also folds into a compact, self-standing model and comes with a handy carrying strap. It's not as big or as high-quality as some of the best-value doubles, but it's a great price overall.

Safety

When you purchase a double buggy, make sure it meets all the important safety standards. This includes the safety straps, how the seats can be adjusted as your children get older and whether they have different reclining positions to suit their age. Find large storage baskets along with pockets and other items you might find useful like sunshades and rain covers.

If you intend to use the buggy primarily in the city or on public transport, make sure that it is light and easy to maneuver. Also, consider how much it weighs when fully loaded and if it is easy to fold and fit in your car boot. If you intend to use the buggy in small towns and villages, make sure that the wheels are sturdy and grippy enough to traverse narrow roads and doorways.

There are a myriad of double buggies, but the most popular is the side-byside model. They are larger and more difficult to push but offer the advantage of both children being in a position to see. These can be quite expensive.

Tandem buggies are another option and they have the children placed next to one another. This can be more comfortable for older children, however it does mean that the buggy is less stable than a side by side. It is also harder to get them through narrow doors and can be difficult to maneuver between the kerbs.

The iCandy Peach double buggies are one of the most sought-after and fashionable models. It comes with a variety of unique features. This includes a built-in riding board with a cinema seating option and 30 seating configurations - it will even hold three children! It's also lightweight, has good suspension and can convert from single to double by the purchase of an additional seat.

Mountain Buggy Duet makes a ideal option for those looking for a more streamlined double buggy. It is the lightest double pram stroller buggy on the market, and its footprint is comparable to the footprint of a single buggy. It has a variety of configurations so that both children can see the world around them. There is an attractive handbrake on the adjustable handlebar. It can also accommodate two infant car seats with the addition of an adapter.
