Buying a Cheap Double Buggy
Parents who are willing to pay an extra amount can purchase a top-quality tandem stroller that will last for a long time and will retain its selling value. The Uppababy Vista V2 model is an extremely rated stroller which can be converted into one. It also comes with an additional seat, the RumbleSeat that allows for more flexibility.
It has decent seat recline and a decent-sized canopy that comes with UPF 50+ protection and windows that peek out. It's also compact and folds easily.
double pram and pushchair can be lifesaver for parents with two children. It shouldn't cost a fortune. You'll also need to consider the price of car seats or carrycots, in addition to the price of the buggy. But even if you do there are plenty of options that won't break the bank.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is a great option for those trying to save money. It's priced under PS1,000, and can be used for twins or a baby and toddler, or even three kids with the 'PiggyBack board' (which is purchased separately). It's the tiniest side-by-side that's available and has the same footprint as a single pushchair. This means it's easy to navigate doors, shopping aisles, and public transport.
The iCandy Orange is another great option and one of our most affordable double buggies - it has 30 seating options and comes with soft suspension that can take care of the kerbs. It can also be converted from single to double so it can grow with your family and even accommodate a third child in the back.
Style
If you're on a budget it is possible to purchase some gorgeous double buggies. They are often designed to look beautiful and are very durable too. You can also find a good resale price when you select a well-known brand.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 double stroller is one of the most affordable double strollers available on the market. It is available in a variety of colors and looks really elegant. The UPPA 'PiggyBack Board' can be added to make a triple buggy. It can accommodate twins, a baby and toddler or the child in a car seat. This is an extra-large buggy that is perfect for city use. It has a narrow frame, which will fit through most doors and can handle trains and shopping aisles.
Another popular choice is the iCandy Peach. This is a great lightweight alternative that costs less than PS300 including the adaptors that are required to fit carseats. It can also be used a single and has some attractive features like a large, spacious shopping basket, front suspension and UPF 50+ sunshades with peekaboo windows. There's a great one-parent cup holder and seats can be placed to face one another or away from each other.
Double buggies that are side-by-side cost more but are generally more easy to push than other types. They may be wider which means they won't fit through narrow doors. They are best suited for older children who would rather sit together. The Mountain Buggy Duet has one of the slimmest sides-by-sides available.
Sites like Rebelstork provide some of the most popular double strollers for sale at reasonable prices. They sell open box and overstock items, as well as new models, so you can test before you purchase. They also offer a trade-in plan to allow you to get money off if you decide to upgrade.
Convenience
If you're on a budget but still want a product that will accommodate your kids (and you don't mind a slightly bulkier pushchair) The Joie Evalite Duo is a excellent choice. It's easy to fold, light and smooth to drive. It also offers good storage for both children, and UPF 50+ canopies that have peekaboo windows, reclining seats that are easy to adjust, and a smart one-handed brake lever on the handlebar - all at the price of PS1000.
If you are looking for a low-cost double buggy that can fit infant car seats such as the iCandy Orange Wave is another good choice. Its sleek frame can be expanded in width to accommodate 2 seats or a stroller seat with an option bassinet. You can take up to three kids with the UPPAbaby "PiggyBack," an exercise board for older children (which you buy separately).
Seat and carrycot are positioned side-by-side, so your children can see each the other and you can keep an eye on them. This reduces the chance of them becoming confused. It's also the tiniest side-by-side on the market which means it will pass through most doors and can be steered easily around tight corners. However, it feels heavy and long to push when it's in double mode, and isn't as effective on uneven or rough terrain as some of our other best-value double buggies.
This is our top-rated double stroller. It's an excellent choice for a moderate price. It's lightweight, has a handy shopping basket, and can accommodate two car seats for children or one baby seat and a toddler seat. Its seat is comfy, and its big back wheels can handle rough terrain than some of the more compact models on our list. It folds down into an incredibly compact, self-standing design and has a convenient carry strap that makes it easy to transport. It's not as spacious or as luxurious as other best-value doubles, but it's an excellent value overall.
Safety
When buying a double buggy make sure it meets all important safety standards. This includes the safety straps, how the seats can be adjusted as your children grow and whether they have different recline positions to match their age. Find a large storage basket, pockets and any extras you may find useful, such as sunshades and rain covers.
If you plan to use the buggy mostly in town or on public transportation, make sure it's lightweight and easy to move. Also, consider how much it weighs when fully loaded and if it is easy to fold and fit into the car boot. If you are planning to use the buggy in smaller towns and villages, make sure that the wheels are well-grip and that they can navigate narrow doorways and pavements.
There are a myriad of double buggies, but the most well-known is the side-by-side model. These tend to be longer and more difficult to push, but they do offer the advantage of both children getting a view. These can be quite expensive.
Tandem buggies are an alternative and have the kids placed next to one another. This is a more comfortable option for older children, however it also means that the buggy is less stable than a side-by-side. It is also difficult to maneuver them through narrow doors, and up and down the kerbs.
The iCandy Peach double buggies are one of the most loved and stylish models. It is unique in its features. It has a built-in ride-on board with a cinema seating option and 30 seating options - it can even accommodate an additional child! It is also light and has a good suspension. It can convert from a single seat to a double one with the purchase of an additional seat.
For those who want a more streamlined double buggy the Mountain Buggy Duet is an excellent choice. It is the thinnest side-byside on the market and has an area that is comparable to a single buggy. It offers several configurations so that both children can see the world, and it has a neat handbrake on the adjustable handlebar. With the addition of an adapter, it can also be used to accommodate two infant car seats.
