Buying a Cheap Double Buggy
Spending a little more on a tandem stroller will ensure it lasts for many years and will retain its value. The Uppababy Vista V2 model is an extremely rated stroller that can be converted into a single. It also comes with an additional seat, the RumbleSeat that allows for more flexibility.
It comes with a decent recline seat, a big canopy that has UPF protection of 50+ and a peekaboo view. It folds easily and compactly.
Budget
A double-buggy can be a lifesaver when you have two children in the car, and it shouldn't break the bank. You'll need to factor in car seats or carrycots, as well as the cost of the buggy itself but there are some amazing alternatives available that won't cost a fortune.
The UPPAbaby vista 2 is an excellent choice for those looking to save money. It's under PS1,000, and can be used for twins as well as a baby and toddler or even three children with a 'PiggyBack' board (which is purchased separately). It's the most compact side-by-side available that's available and has a footprint that's the same as a single pushchair. This means it's easy to maneuver through doorways, shopping aisles and public transport.
The iCandy Orange double buggies are another great option. It comes with 30 different seating configurations, and soft suspension to make kerbs easy. It also converts from single-to-double so it can grow with your family and even add a third child to the back.
Style
If you're on a budget you can still purchase some stunning double buggies. Many of them are designed to look beautiful and are extremely durable too. You can also enjoy an excellent resale price by choosing a reputable brand.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 double stroller is among the most affordable double strollers available on the market. It is available in a variety of colors and is elegant. It can also be used as a triple buggy by incorporating the UPPA's 'PiggyBack' board. It can accommodate twins or a toddler as well as a baby or a child in an infant car seat. This is a double buggy that's ideal for use in cities. It has a narrow frame, which will fit through the majority of doors and handle shopping aisles and trains.
Another popular option is the iCandy Peach. It's a light-weight option that costs less than PS300, including the adaptors for carseats. It can also be used as an individual and comes with nice features such as a wide, spacious shopping basket front suspension, and UPF 50+ sunshades that have windows that can be seen from a distance. There is also a cup holder that can be used by one parent, and the seats can face one another or be set away from one another.
Double buggies that are side-by-side cost more, but they are less difficult to push. They may be wider and therefore may not be able to pass through doors with narrow openings. They are more suitable for older children who prefer to sit together. 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 sell open box and surplus items as well as brand new models so you can test before you purchase. They also have a trade-in scheme to allow you to get cash back if you decide to upgrade.
Convenience
The Joie Evalite Duo pushchair is an excellent option if are on a tight budget but still want to accommodate your children (and aren't averse to the slightly larger size). Our Lab experts love that it's lightweight, easy to drive, and can be folded in just a few minutes. It also offers good storage for both kids, plus generous UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows; reclined seats that are easy to adjust, and a clever brake lever that can be operated with one hand on the handlebar - all at the price of PS1000.
If you need a cheap double buggy that can accommodate infant car seats, the iCandy Orange Wave is another excellent option. Its sleek frame increases in width to accommodate 2 seats or one stroller with a bassinet that can be added. You can carry up to three kids with the UPPAbaby 'PiggyBack,' a running board for older children (which you buy separately).
Seat and carrycot are positioned on opposite sides, which means your children will be able to see each the other and you can keep an eye on them. This minimizes the risk of them getting confused. It's also the tiniest available. This means it can pass through most doors and be maneuvered around corners that are tight. It's a bit heavy and lengthy to push in double mode, and isn't as efficient as some of the other best double buggies in rough or uneven terrain.
This is our top-rated double stroller. It's a great option for a price that is mid-range. It's light and has a handy shopping basket, and can fit two car seats for children, or one baby seat and an infant seat. The seat is comfortable and its large back wheels can cope with a little more rough terrain than some of the more compact models on our list. It also folds into a compact self-standing form and comes with a comfortable strap for carrying. It's not as spacious or luxurious as other high-end doubles but it's still a great deal.
Pushchairs And Prams
When buying a double buggy you must ensure that it meets all important safety standards. This includes the safety straps, the way that the seats can be adjusted as your children get older and if they come with various reclining positions that are appropriate for their age. Also, look for a big storage basket with pockets and whether there are other accessories that might be useful like sunshades, rain covers.
If you're going to be using the buggy primarily in the city or on public transport, make sure that it is light and easy to maneuver. You will also need to consider how much it weighs fully loaded and if it can be folded easily to fit into the car boot. If you drive the buggy a lot in small towns or villages, check that the wheels have plenty of grip and can navigate narrow streets and doorways.
There are many kinds of double buggies available, with side-by-side models being the most popular. They tend to be larger and more difficult to push, but they offer the benefit of the children both getting a view. They can also be quite pricey.
Tandem buggies are an alternative and these have the children placed next to one another. It can be more comfortable for older children, but the buggy will not be as stable. It can also be difficult to fit them into narrow doors, and it can be difficult to go up and down kerbs.
