Buying double pushchair who are willing to pay an extra amount can purchase a high-quality tandem stroller that will last for a long time and will retain its price for resales. The Uppababy Vista V2 model is an extremely rated stroller that can be converted to one. It also has a second seat called the RumbleSeat that adds flexibility.
It has decent seat recline and a good-sized canopy with UPF 50+ protection as well as windows that peek out. It is also compact and folds up easily.
Budget
A double buggy can be lifesaver for parents with two kids. It shouldn't cost a fortune. You'll need to factor in car seats or carrycots as well as the price of the buggy but there are some fantastic alternatives available that won't break the bank.
A great option if you want to keep costs down is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 - an incredible value at under PS1,000 and can be used with twins with one baby and one toddler or three children (with the 'PiggyBack' boards that you purchase separately). It's the tiniest tandem on the market. The footprint is similar to that of one pushchair, which means it can easily be pushed through doorways and shopping aisles.
The iCandy Orange is another great option and is one of our top budget double buggies. It comes with 30 seating configurations and features soft suspension that allows for easy work of kerbs. It can also be converted 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 budget, you can still buy some gorgeous double buggies. Many of them look great and are also very durable. You can also enjoy a good resale price when you select a well-known brand.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is one of the most affordable double strollers on the market. It comes in a range of colours and is really attractive to see. The UPPA "PiggyBack Board" could be added to create a triple buggy. It can take twins as well as a toddler and baby or the child in car seats. This is an extra-large buggy that is perfect for city use. It has a slim frame, which will fit through most doors and can handle shopping aisles and trains.
Another option that is popular is the iCandy Peach. This is a great lightweight option that is priced at less than PS300 including the adaptors required to fit carseats. It can also be used as an individual and comes with appealing features, including a large, spacious shopping basket, front suspension and UPF 50+ sunshades that have windows that can be seen from a distance. There's a great cup holder that is one-parent and seats can be placed to face each other or to separate from each other.
Double buggies with side-by-side seating are more expensive but are generally easier to push than other kinds. They can be quite wide however, so they may not fit through narrow doors. They are typically more suitable for older children who prefer to sit facing each other. The Mountain Buggy Duet has one of the tiniest sides-by-sides on the market.
You can find some of the most affordable double strollers on websites like Rebelstork. They sell open box and overstock items, as well as new models so you can try before you purchase. They offer a trade-in scheme that allows you to receive a discount on the purchase if you decide to for an upgrade.
Convenience
The Joie Evalite Duo pushchair is an excellent option if are on a budget but still want to be able to accommodate your children (and don't mind the slightly larger size). Our Lab experts love that it's light, smooth to drive and folds in half in a few seconds. It offers ample 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 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 suitable option. Its slick frame can be expanded to accept 2 seats or a single stroller seat with an optional bassinet. You can carry up to three kids with the UPPAbaby 'PiggyBack,' a running board for older children (which is available separately).
The seat and the carrycot are side-by-side positioning, meaning your kids can see each other and you can keep an eye on them, so there's less chance of mischance between them. It's also the thinnest available. This means it'll fit through the majority of doors and can be maneuvered around corners with ease. It's a bit heavy and lengthy to push in double mode, and it doesn't perform as well as some of the top-quality double buggies for rough or uneven terrain.
This is a great mid-range option, and our top-rated double stroller. It's lightweight, comes with an integrated basket for shopping, and can fit two child car seats, or one toddler and a baby. It comes with a comfortable seat with big wheels on the back that are able to handle rougher terrain than some of our less compact models. It folds down into a compact self-standing form and comes with a convenient strap for carrying. It's not quite as spacious or as high-end as other top-quality doubles, but it's still a great deal.
Safety
When buying a double buggy you should check that it meets all important safety standards. The safety straps and how the seats adjust to the growth of your child are important. Also, check if the seats have different recline positions for each age group. Find a large storage basket, pockets and any extras you might find useful like sunshades and rain covers.
If you're planning to be using the buggy primarily in the city or on public transport, ensure that it is light and easy to maneuver. Also, think about how double pushchair weighs when fully loaded and if it is easy to fold and fit in your car boot. If you are planning to use the buggy in smaller villages and towns, make sure that the wheels are well-gripped and are able to traverse narrow roads and doorways.
There are a variety of double buggies, with side-by-side models being the most popular. They are more hefty and difficult to push, but they offer the benefit of both kids being capable of seeing. They can be expensive.
Tandem buggies are another option and these have the children positioned next to each other. It is a more comfortable option for older kids, but the buggy will not be as stable. 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 sought-after and stylish models. It comes with a variety of unique features. It has a built-in seat for a ride-on, "cinema seating" and 30 different seating options. It even accommodates an additional child. It's also lightweight, has good suspension and can convert from a single seat to a double one with the purchase of an additional seat.
If you are looking for a more sleek double buggy the Mountain Buggy Duet is an excellent option. It is the slimmest double buggy available and its footprint is comparable to that of a single-buggy. It has a variety of configurations to allow both children to be able to explore the world. There's also an easy handbrake on an adjustable handlebar. With the addition of an adapter, it can also be used to accommodate two car seats for infants.
