Buying a Cheap Double Buggy
Parents who are willing to invest a little more can buy a top-quality tandem stroller that will last for many years and will retain its resale value. The Uppababy Vista V2 model is a top-rated stroller which can be converted into a single. It also comes with a second seat called the RumbleSeat which allows for greater flexibility.
It has a decent recline seat and a large canopy with UPF 50+ protection and windows that peek out. It's also compact and folds up easily.
Budget
A good double buggy is an essential item when you have two kids with you and isn't going to cost you a fortune. You'll also have to think about the cost of car seats and carrycots, in addition to the cost of the buggy. But even then, there are many alternatives that won't break the budget.
The UPPAbaby vista 2 is a great choice for those looking to save money. It's under PS1,000, and it can accommodate twins, a baby and a toddler, or even three kids with the 'PiggyBack board' (which is purchased separately). It's the slimmest side-by-side on the market, and comes with the same footprint as a single pushchair, so it's easy to navigate the doorways, shopping aisles and public transportation.
The iCandy Orange is another great option and is one of our top budget double buggies - it has 30 seating options and soft suspension that can take care of kerbs. It can also be converted from single to double to grow with your family. You can even put another child in the back.
Style

There's 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 less difficult to push.

The Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the slimmest side-by-sides available on the market.
Sites like Rebelstork offer the most popular double strollers for sale at reasonable prices. They have both new and older models, as well as open boxes and overstocks. You can try the strollers before buying. They also offer a trade-in plan to allow you to get discounts if you decide to upgrade.
Convenience
The Joie Evalite Duo pushchair is a great choice if you are on a budget but still want to accommodate your children (and aren't averse to the slightly larger size). It's easy to fold, light and smooth to drive. It also provides ample storage for both children and adults, as well as UPF 50+ canopies that have peekaboo windows; reclined seats that are easy to adjust, and a clever brake lever that is one-handed on the handlebar, all at an affordable price of PS1000.
If you're looking for a budget double buggy that can accommodate infant car seats and car seats, the iCandy Orange Wave is another excellent option. Its sleek frame can be expanded to accept 2 seats or a single stroller seat with a bassinet that can be added. It can also accommodate up to three children when you add on UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack' running board for children who are older (you buy it separately).
Seat and carrycot are positioned on opposite sides, which means your children can see each other and you can keep an eye on them. This decreases the chances of them being confused. It's also the thinnest on the market. This means it can fit through most doors and be maneuvered around tight corners. It is heavy and long to push in double mode, and doesn't perform as well as some of the best-value double buggies on rough or uneven terrain.
This is our top-rated double stroller. It's a great option for a mid-range price. It's light, comes with an easy-to-use shopping basket and can fit two car seats for children, or one baby seat and a toddler seat. It comes with a comfortable seat and large wheels on the back that can be more robust than some of our less compact models. It also folds into a compact, self-standing model and comes with a comfortable strap for carrying. It's not as big or as high-end as other top-quality doubles, but it's still an excellent value.
Safety
When you purchase a double buggy, you must ensure that it is in compliance with all the necessary safety standards. The safety straps and the way that the seats adjust to your child's growth are crucial. Also, make double buggy with car seat that the seats have different recline positions for each age group. Look for an ample storage basket as well as pockets and other accessories you might find useful like sunshades and rain covers.
If you intend to use the buggy primarily in town or on public transportation, you should make sure it is lightweight and easy to maneuver. Also, take into consideration the weight of the buggy when fully loaded and if it is easy to fold up and fit into the car boot. If you intend to use the buggy in small villages or towns, be sure that the wheels well-grip and that they can traverse narrow roads and doorways.
There are many types of double buggies, however the most well-known is the side-by-side model. They are generally longer and more difficult to push, however they have the benefit of each child having a view. These can be quite expensive.
Tandem buggies permit children to be placed next to each other. This is a more comfortable option for older children, but it also means that the buggy is less stable than a side-byside. It is also harder to fit them through narrow doors and can be difficult to go between kerbs.
