Buying a Cheap Double Buggy
A little more money spent on a tandem stroller will ensure it lasts for years and will retain its value. The Uppababy Vista V2 is a top-rated model that can convert to a single and has an additional seat, the RumbleSeat, that adds versatility.
It offers a comfortable recline for the seat, as well as a huge canopy with UPF protection 50+ and a peekaboo view. It folds easily and compactly.
Budget
A double buggy can be a lifesaver for parents with two young children. It isn’t expensive. It is important to consider car seats or carrycots in addition to the price of the buggy but there are some fantastic options on the market that won’t break the bank.
The UPPAbaby vista 2 is a great option when you’re trying to save money. It’s priced at less than PS1,000 and it can fit twins, a baby and a toddler or even three children with a ‘PiggyBack’ board (which you can purchase separately). It is the slimmest tandem on the market. The footprint is similar to the footprint of one pushchair, which means it can easily be pushed through doorways and shopping 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 also converts from single to double buggy-to-double so it’ll grow with your family and add a third child to the back.
Style
You can still find some gorgeous double buggies for a budget. Many of them are designed to look stunning and are extremely durable too. You can also find the best price for resales by choosing a reputable brand.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 double stroller is one of the most affordable double strollers on the market. It is available in a variety of colours and looks elegant. The UPPA “PiggyBack Board” could be added to create a triple buggy. It can be used with twins, a baby and toddler or a child in a car seat. This is an ideal double buggy for city use as it has a slim frame that fits through the majority of doors. It can also cope with shopping aisles as well as trains, buses and other vehicles.
The iCandy Peach is another popular option. It’s a fantastic light option that is priced at less than PS300 including the adaptors needed to fit carseats. It can also be used a single and has some appealing features, including a large, spacious shopping basket and front suspension, as well as UPF 50+ sunshades that have windows that can be seen from a distance. There’s also a cup holder for one parent and the seats can be positioned to face each other, or be positioned away from one another.
Side-by-side double buggies cost more but are usually easier to push than other kinds. They can be quite big though so they might not fit through narrow doors and are usually better suited to older children who want to sit facing each other. The Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the slimmest side-by-sides on the market.
You can find a selection of the best cheap double strollers online at sites such as Rebelstork. They offer open box and surplus items as well as new models, so you can test before you buy. They also offer a trade-in plan to allow you to get cash back if you decide to upgrade.
Convenience
If you’re looking to save money but still want a model that can accommodate your kids (and you’re okay with having a little more bulky pushchair) then the Joie Evalite Duo is a great option. Our Lab experts like that it’s light and easy to drive, and can be folded into a half-length in a matter of minutes. It also has ample storage for both children and adults, and UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows; reclined seats that are easy to adjust, and a smart brake lever that is one-handed on the handlebar – all for the price of PS1000.
The iCandy Orange Wave double buggy is a good option if you are looking for a bargain double stroller that will fit an infant car seats. Its sleek frame can be expanded to accept 2 seats or a single stroller seat with an optional bassinet. It can accommodate up to three children with the UPPAbaby ‘PiggyBack,’ an exercise board for older kids (which you purchase separately).
Seat and carrycot are positioned side-by-side, so your children will be able to see each other and you can keep an eye on them. This reduces the chance of them becoming confused. It is also the slimmest on the market. This means it will fit through the majority of doors and can be maneuvered around corners with ease. It’s heavy and long to push in double mode, and does not perform as well as other best-value double buggies on rough or uneven terrain.
This is our top-rated double stroller. It’s an excellent choice for a mid-range price. It is lightweight, has an integrated shopping basket and it can be used with two car seats for children, or one toddler and a baby. It features a comfortable and spacious seat and big wheels on the back that can handle rougher terrain than our more compact models. Additionally, it folds into a compact, self-standing shape and has a convenient carry strap that makes it easy to transport. It’s not as spacious or high-quality as other best-value doubles, but it’s an excellent value.
Safety
Make sure that the Double push Chair buggy meets all safety standards before buying it. The safety straps as well as the way in which the seats adjust to your child’s growth are important. Also, make sure that the seats are reclined in different positions for each age group. Also look for a spacious storage basket and pockets and whether there are other accessories that are useful, like sunshades, rain covers.
If you intend to use the buggy mostly in the city or on public transport, make sure it is lightweight and easy to maneuver. You should also consider how much it weighs fully loaded and whether it is easy to fold up and fit into the car boot. If you plan to use the buggy in smaller villages and towns, make sure that the wheels well-gripped and are able to navigate narrow doorways and pavements.
There are a variety of double buggies. However, the most well-known is the side-by-side model. They are generally longer and more difficult to push, however they do offer the advantage of each child being able to see. They can also be quite expensive.
Tandem buggies are another option and these have the children placed side-by-side. This can be more comfortable for older children, but it also means that the buggy is less stable than a side-by-side. It is also harder to fit them into narrow doors, and it can be difficult to maneuver between kerbs.

It has a built-in ride-on board as well as ‘cinema seating’. 30 seating configurations – it will even hold three children! It’s also lightweight, has good suspension and can be converted from single to double with the purchase of an additional seat.
