Buying a Cheap Double Buggy
A little extra on a tandem stroller will ensure it lasts for years and will retain its value. The Uppababy Vista V2 model is a top-rated stroller that can be converted into one. It also comes with a second seat called the RumbleSeat that allows for more flexibility.
It offers a decent recline for the seat and a large canopy with UPF 50+ protection and windows that peek out. It folds easily and compactly.
Budget
A double buggy can be lifesaver for parents with two young children. It shouldn’t cost a fortune. You’ll also need to consider the cost of car seats and carrycots, as well as the cost of the buggy. However there are plenty of options that won’t break your budget.
A great option for those who want to keep costs low is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 – an amazing value for money at less than PS1,000 and can take twins with one baby and one toddler or three kids (with the ‘PiggyBack’ boards, which you buy separately). It’s the tiniest tandem on the market. The footprint is similar to that of one pushchair, which means it is able to be easily moved through doors and shopping aisles.
The iCandy Orange double buggies are another great option. It has 30 different seating options, and soft suspension to make kerbs easy. It can also be transformed from a single buggie to a double so that it grows with your family. You can even fit a third child at the back.
Style
If you’re on a budget, you can still buy some stunning double buggies. They look stunning and are very durable. You can also find the best price for resales if you choose a popular brand.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 double stroller is among the most affordable double strollers available on the market. It comes in a range of colors and looks elegant. It can also be used as an extra triple buggy by using UPPA’s separate ‘PiggyBack’ board. It can accommodate twins as well as a toddler and baby or a child in a car seat. This is an extra-large buggy that is perfect for city use. It has a small frame that fits through most doors and can handle trains and shopping aisles.
Another option that is popular is the iCandy Peach. This is a lightweight option that costs less than PS300 and includes the adaptors needed for carseats. It can also be used an individual and comes with attractive features like an expansive, wide shopping basket and front suspension, as well as UPF 50+ sunshades with peekaboo windows. There is a nice cup holder that is one-parent and seats can be placed to face one another or to separate from each other.
Double buggies that are side-by-side cost more but are generally more easy to push than other types. They aren’t always wide and therefore may not fit through narrow doors. They are more suitable for older children who would rather sit together. The Mountain Buggy Duet has one of the tiniest sides-by-sides on the market.
Sites like Rebelstork offer the most popular double strollers for sale at affordable prices. They have new and old models and open boxes and overstocks. You can test the strollers before buying. They have a trade in scheme that allows you to get money off the purchase if you decide to that you want to upgrade.
Convenience
The Joie Evalite Duo pushchair is a great choice if you are on a budget but still want to be able to accommodate your children (and aren’t averse to the slightly larger size). Our Lab experts like it because it’s lightweight, easy to drive and folds in half in a few minutes. It also offers good storage for both kids, and UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows; reclined seats that are easy to adjust, and a smart one-handed brake lever on the handlebar – all for an affordable price of PS1000.
The iCandy Orange Wave double buggy is a good option when you’re looking for a cheap double stroller that will fit an infant car seats. Its sleek frame expands in width to accommodate two seats or a stroller seat with a bassinet that can be added. It can even accommodate up to three kids when you add on UPPAbaby’s ‘PiggyBack’ running board for older children (you purchase it separately).
The seat and the carrycot are side-by-side placement, which means your kids can see each other and you’ll be able to keep an eye on them, which means there’s less chance of mistaking them. It is also the slimmest on the market. This means it’ll fit through most doors and can be maneuvered around corners that are tight. It is heavy and long to push in double stroller with bassinet mode, and does not perform as well as other top-quality double buggies for rough or uneven terrain.
This is our top-rated double stroller. It’s a great option for a moderate price. It’s light and has an easy-to-use shopping basket and can take two car seats for children, or one baby seat and a toddler seat. It has a comfortable seat with big wheels on the back that are able to be more robust than our more compact twin Stroller models. Plus, it folds into the compact self-standing shape and comes with a handy carry strap for easy schlepping. It’s not as big or as luxurious as other best-value doubles, but it’s a great value overall.
Safety
Make sure that the double buggy meets all safety standards prior to purchasing it. This includes the safety straps, the way that the seats adjust as your children grow and if they come with different reclining positions to suit their age. Look for large storage baskets along with pockets and other items you might need, like sunshades and rain covers.
If you’re planning to be using the buggy mostly around town or on public transport, ensure whether it is light and easy to move. Also, think about how much it weighs fully loaded, and if it is easy to fold up and fit into the car boot. If you are planning to use the buggy in smaller villages or towns, be sure that the wheels sturdy and grippy enough to traverse narrow roads and doorways.
There are a variety of double buggies, but the most popular is the side-byside model. They are larger and more difficult to push, but they offer the benefit of both children being able to see. They can also be expensive.
Tandem buggies are a different option and have the kids placed next to one another. It can be more comfortable for older kids, but the buggy is less stable. It can be a challenge to maneuver them through narrow doorways and up and down kerbs.
The iCandy Peach is one of the most popular double buggies, and is a fashionable bit of kit that has numerous unique features. These include a built-in ride-on board with a cinema seating option and 30 seating configurations. It will even hold three children! It is also lightweight and has good suspension. It can convert from single to double by the purchase of an additional seat.
For those who want a more sleek double buggy the Mountain Buggy Duet is an excellent option. It is the tiniest side-by-side on the market and has a footprint that is similar to the size of a single buggy. It comes with a variety of configurations that allow both children to see the world.
