Buying a
Cheap Double Buggy
A little more money spent on a tandem stroller will ensure it lasts for a long time and is still worth its price. The Uppababy Vista V2 model is a top-rated stroller which can be converted into a single. It also has another seat, called the RumbleSeat that allows for more flexibility.
It comes with a decent seat recline, a large canopy with UPF protection 50+ and a peekaboo view. It also folds easily and compactly.
Budget
A double buggy can be a lifesaver for parents with two children. It shouldn't cost a fortune. You'll also have to think about the cost of car seats and carrycots, and the cost of the buggy. But even then, there are many options that won't break the budget.
A great option if you are looking to cut costs is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which is an amazing value for money 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 can purchase separately). It's the tiniest side-by-side on the market and has a footprint that's the same as a single pushchair, so it's easy to get through doors, 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 a breeze. It also converts from single-to-double to accommodate your family and accommodate a third child in the back.

Its slick frame expands widthways to accept 2 seats or a single stroller seat with a bassinet that can be added. You can carry up to three kids with the UPPAbaby "PiggyBack," an exercise board for older kids (which is available separately).
The seat and carrycot have side-by-side placement, which means your children will be able to see each other, and you can keep an eye on them, meaning there's less chance of mistaking them. It is also the slimmest available. This means it can fit through most doors and is able to maneuver around corners that are tight. However, it is heavy and long to push when in double mode and does not perform as well on rough or uneven terrain as some of our other best-value double buggies.
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 accommodate two car seats for children or one baby seat as well as a toddler seat. It comes with a comfortable seat and large wheels on the back that can be more robust than some of our more compact models. Additionally, it folds into the compact self-standing shape and comes with a handy carry strap for easy schlepping. It's not as spacious or as high-end as other top-quality doubles but it's still a great deal.
Safety
Check that the double buggy is safe before buying it. The safety straps as well as the way in which the seats adapt to your child's needs are vital. Also, ensure that the seats have different recline positions for different ages. Also, look for a large storage basket and pockets, and whether there are any other extras that might be useful like sunshades, rain covers.
If you plan to use the buggy mostly in towns or on public transportation, you should make sure it is lightweight and easy to maneuver. You should also think about the weight of the buggy when fully loaded and if it can be folded easily to fit into your car boot. If you are using the buggy often in villages or small towns, make sure the wheels have plenty of grip and can navigate narrow pavements and doors.
