Buying a Cheap Double Buggy
A little extra on a tandem stroller will ensure that it lasts for 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 has a second seat called the RumbleSeat which allows for greater flexibility.
Push Chairs And Prams has a decent recline seat and a decent-sized canopy that comes with UPF 50+ protection as well as peekaboo windows. It folds easily and compactly.
Budget
A double buggy can be lifesaver for parents with two kids. It shouldn't cost a fortune. It is important to consider car seats or carrycots as well as the price of the buggy but there are some fantastic options on the market that won't cost a fortune.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is a great option for those looking to save money. It's priced under PS1,000, and can be used for twins, a baby and a toddler, or even three kids with the 'PiggyBack board' (which you purchase separately). It's the lightest tandem on the market. The footprint is the same as the footprint of a single pushchair, meaning it can easily be carried through doors and aisles.
The iCandy Orange double buggies are another great option. It comes with 30 different seating configurations, and soft suspension to make kerbs easy. It can also be converted from single to double so it'll 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 beautiful double buggies. They are often designed to look beautiful and are extremely durable too. If you select a well-known brand, they will also offer a decent resale price.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 double stroller is among the most affordable double strollers available on the market. It is available in a range of colors and looks really elegant. It can also be used as an extra triple buggy by using the UPPA's 'PiggyBack' board. It can accommodate twins, a baby and toddler or children in car seats. This is a great double buggy for urban use since it has a small frame that fits through the majority of doors and be used for shopping as well as trains, buses and other vehicles.
The iCandy Peach is another popular alternative. It is a light alternative that costs less than PS300 and includes the adaptors required for carseats. It can also be used as a single and has some attractive features like a wide, spacious shopping basket and front suspension, as well as UPF 50+ sunshades that have peekaboo windows. There's a nice cup holder that is one-parent and seats can be set to face each other or to separate from each other.
Double buggies with side-by-side sides cost more, however they are much easier to push. They can be quite large however they might not fit through narrow doors, and are generally more suitable for older children who want to sit in a row facing each other. The Mountain Buggy Duet has one of the slimmest sides-by-sides available.
There are some of the best cheap double strollers on sale online at sites such as Rebelstork. They sell open box and surplus items as well as brand new models so you can try before buying. They have a trade in program that allows you to receive a discount on your purchase if you choose to that you want to upgrade.
Convenience
If you're looking to save money but still want something that can accommodate your children (and you're okay with an extra-large pushchair) then the Joie Evalite Duo is a good choice. Our Lab experts love that it's lightweight, easy to drive, and can be folded in half in a few minutes. It offers ample storage for two kids, a large UPF 50+ canopy with the ability to peek out as well as reclining seats that are easy to adjust and a clever brake lever on the handlebar. All this at a price well below PS1000.
If you're looking for a budget double buggy that can accommodate infant car seats such as the iCandy Orange Wave is another suitable option. Its sleek frame increases in size to accommodate two seats or one stroller seat with a bassinet option. It can even go up to three children when you add UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack' running board for children who are older (you purchase it separately).
Seat and carrycot are positioned in a row, so that your children can see each other and you can keep a close eye on them. This reduces the chance of them getting confused. It's also one of the slimmest side-bysides available, so it should fit through most doorways and can be steered easily around tight corners. It's heavy and long to push in double mode, and isn't as efficient as other best-value double buggies on rough or uneven terrain.
This is a great mid-range choice, and our top-rated double stroller. It's light and has an easy-to-use shopping basket and can take two car seats for children or one baby seat as well as an infant seat. It has a comfortable seat and big wheels on the back that are able to handle rougher terrain than our more compact models. It also folds into a compact self-standing form and comes with a convenient strap for transport. It's not as spacious or as luxurious as some of the other top-quality doubles, but it's a great price overall.
Safety
When buying a double buggy you should check that it meets all important safety standards. This includes the safety straps, the way that the seats adjust to accommodate your growing children and if they come with different recline positions to match their age. Also, look for a large storage basket and pockets and whether there are any other extras that could be useful, like sunshades, rain covers.
If you are planning to use the buggy mostly in town or on public transportation, make sure that it is light and easy to move. Also, you should consider the weight of the buggy once it's fully loaded and whether it can be folded and put in the car boot. If you are using the buggy frequently in small towns or villages, make sure the wheels are well-groomed and can navigate narrow streets and doorways.
There are a myriad of double buggies, but the most popular is the side-byside model. They are more hefty and difficult to push, but have the benefit of both kids being in a position to see. These can be very expensive.
Tandem buggies permit children to be positioned next each other. This can be more comfortable for older children, but it does mean that the buggy is less stable than a side-by-side. It can be a challenge to get them through narrow doors, and up and down kerbs.
The iCandy Peach double buggies are one of the most popular and fashionable models. It is unique in its features. It has a built-in board for riding on, "cinema seating" and 30 different seating configurations. It even accommodates a third child. It is lightweight, has a solid suspension, and can be converted from a single seat to a double seat with the purchase of additional seats.
If you are looking for a more sleek double buggy the Mountain Buggy Duet is an excellent choice. It is the lightest double buggy on the market, and its footprint is similar to that of a single-buggy. It has a variety of configurations so that both children can be able to view the world, and it has a neat handbrake on the adjustable handlebar. With the addition of an adapter it can also accommodate two car seats for infants.
