Buying a Cheap Double Buggy

Spending a little more on a tandem stroller will ensure that it lasts for many years and is still worth its price. The Uppababy Vista V2 is a top-rated model that converts to a single stroller and comes with a second seat and a RumbleSeat which offers flexibility.

It offers a decent recline for the seat and a large canopy with UPF 50+ protection and windows that peek out. It also folds easily and compactly.

Budget

A double-buggy can be an essential item when you have two children in the car and will not cost a fortune. You'll also need to consider the cost of car seats and carrycots, in addition to the price of the buggy. But even then, there are many alternatives that won't break the budget.

A great option for those who want to keep costs low is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 - it's an incredible value at less than PS1,000 and can be used with twins or one baby, as well as one toddler or three children (with the 'PiggyBack' boards, which you buy separately). It's the lightest tandem on the market. The footprint is similar to the footprint of a single pushchair double, meaning it is able to be easily moved through doors and shopping aisles.

The iCandy Orange is another great alternative and one of our favourite budget double umbrella stroller buggies. It comes with 30 seating options and soft suspension that allows for easy work of the kerbs. It also converts from single-to-double so it'll grow with your family and accommodate a third child in the back.

Style

If you are on a tight budget, you can still buy some beautiful double stroller sale buggies. They look stunning and are also very durable. If you choose a reputable brand, they will also have a good resale value.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is one of the best budget double strollers available. It is available in a variety of colors and is stylish to take a look at. The UPPA "PiggyBack Board" can be added to create a triple buggy. It can accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby or a child in a car seat for infants. This is an ideal double buggy for urban use since it has a slim frame that can be pushed through the majority of doors and handle shopping aisles as well as trains, buses and other vehicles.

Another popular choice is the iCandy Peach. It is a light option that costs less than PS300 and includes the adaptors required for carseats. It can be used as a single seat and has some nice features like a large spacious basket, front suspension and UPF 50+ shades that have a peekaboo window. There's also a cup holder for one parent, and the seats can face each other or be placed away from one another.

Double buggies with side-by-side sides cost more, but are less difficult to push. They can be quite large though so they might not fit through narrow doors, and are generally more suitable for older children who want to be seated facing one another. The Mountain Buggy Duet has one of the slimmest sides-by-sides that are available.

Sites like Rebelstork provide some of the top double strollers available for sale at reasonable prices. They offer open boxes and overstock items as well as new models, so you can test before you purchase. They have a trade in scheme that lets you earn money off the purchase if you decide to for an upgrade.

Convenience

If you're on a tight budget and still want something that can accommodate your kids (and you don't mind an extra-large pushchair) then the Joie Evalite Duo is a great option. Our Lab experts love that it's light, smooth to drive, and can be folded in half in a few seconds. It has good storage for two kids, a large UPF 50+ canopy that has a the ability to peek out, reclining seats which are easy to adjust and a clever brake lever that is located on the handlebar. All this for a price lower than 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 excellent option. Its sleek frame increases in size to accommodate two seats or a stroller seat with a bassinet option. It can also accommodate up to three kids when you add UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack running board for children who are older (you buy it separately).

The seat and carrycot have side-by-side seating, meaning that your kids can see each other, and you can keep an eye on them, meaning there's less chance of mistaking them. It's also the tiniest side-by-side on the market which means it will fit through most doorways and be easily maneuvered around tight corners. It's heavy and long to push in double mode, and does not perform as well as some of the other top-quality double buggies for rough or uneven terrain.

This is our top-rated double stroller. It's a great choice for a price that is mid-range. It is lightweight, has an integrated shopping basket and can fit two child car seats, or one toddler and one baby. It comes with a comfortable seat with big wheels on the back that can be more robust than our more compact models. It folds down into a compact self-standing form and comes with a handy carrying strap. It's not as big or as luxurious as other top-quality doubles, but it's an excellent value overall.

Safety

When buying a double buggy you must ensure that it meets all the important safety standards. The safety straps as well as the way in which the seats adjust to the growth of your child are crucial. Also, ensure that the seats are reclined in different positions for different ages. Also, look for a big storage basket and pockets, and whether there are other accessories that might be useful such as sunshades or rain covers.

If you are planning to use the buggy primarily in the city or on public transportation, you should make sure it's lightweight and easy to move. You will also need to take into consideration how much it weighs fully loaded and whether it is easy to fold up and fit in your car boot. If you drive the buggy a lot in small towns or villages check that the wheels have plenty of grip and are able to navigate narrow pavements and doors.

There are many kinds of double buggies available with side-byside models being the most well-known. They are generally longer and more difficult to push, but they have the benefit of both children getting a view. These can be very expensive.

Tandem buggies are another option and they have the children placed side-by-side. This is a more comfortable option for older children, but it does mean that the buggy is less stable than a side by side. It can also be difficult to fit them into narrow doors and is difficult to go between kerbs.

The iCandy Peach is one of the top double buggies in sales and is a fashionable bit of kit that has numerous unique features. It comes with a built-in board for riding on, "cinema seating" and 30 different seating options. It even accommodates the third child. It is also lightweight and has a good suspension. It can convert from a single double stroller seat to a double one with the purchase of an additional seat.

Mountain Buggy Duet makes a great choice for those looking for a more streamlined double buggy. It is the slimmest double buggy available and its footprint is comparable to the footprint of a single buggy. It has several configurations that allow both children to see the world. It also has an easy handbrake that can be adjusted by a handlebar. With the addition of an adapter, it can also accommodate two car seats for infants.
