Design
When looking for a budget double pushchair, there are many aspects to take into consideration, including size, style, cost and features. The most important factor to consider is whether or whether the product meets the needs of your family. There are two main types of doubles, side-by-side and inline (one seat located directly behind the other). Each type has its pros and pros and.
The side-byside model has two fixed seats. It is best travel double stroller for siblings who are the same age, but can also be used by a single child. They are broader than single-seat buggies and can navigate through narrow spaces, kerbs and doors with ease. They might also have a limited storage capacity and are difficult to push across uneven terrain.
Inline models are designed with a seat in front of the other and are ideally suited to older children or toddlers. They can be used with a single infant car seat, and they might come with a bigger basket than side by side models. However, they don’t always come with the same level of features that other lightweight strollers, such as a cup holder for each child, and an independent sunshade.
The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is an inline double buggy that is full-size with a variety of seating options that can take two infant car seats or toddler seats. It can also take two seats that can act as bassinets or convert into a triple – which makes it an ideal option for families growing. In our Lab tests the model was simple to maneuver and folds in a compact manner, and has a clever ‘one-click’ system that doesn’t require the removal of seats. It has a large undercarriage basket and is compatible with the majority of car seats.
The egg2 is a longstanding favourite of parents, with an elegant frame and a compact size that’s ideal for urban streets that are crowded. It can be used for an individual child, a double stroller for twins, babies/toddlers with different ages, or as a triple stroller by adding UPPAbaby’s ‘PiggyBack’ board (available separately). The pushchair that doubles as a triple isn’t as light as some others but does have excellent longevity and comes with a large shopping basket for the price.
Comfort
The best cheap double pushchairs are designed to be comfortable for parents and children in mind. They come with a comfortable seat height and reclining options so that you can choose whether your child can lie down or sits up and will both enjoy a view of the world. Some models come with a large shopping basket, and some include rear suspension to allow you to navigate over bumps and uneven surfaces.
The egg2 is a very popular option for families with twins. It has won numerous awards and is a regular award winner. It’s a stylish single-to smallest double buggy pram that can take two infant car seats as well as baby carriers and toddler seats at once. This allows it to be used by a diverse range of families.
It’s heavier than some of our other budget models, but it has a large shopping basket. The front and rear suspensions make it easy to push in all kinds of terrain. The padded seat liner and the flannel-like feetmuff are optional extras that cost PS24 each.
It also has a clever one-hand folding that’s great when you’re both hands full of small children. One of our testers told us that it takes a bit of practice to master but it’s surprisingly easy and a lot simpler than some of the other double buggies she’s tried.
Other features that make the egg2 a favourite include a large sun canopy that covers both child seats and an excellent footmuff for your baby or toddler. It also has a large UPF 50+ hood with an open window that you can peek through, which our testers think is an adequate size and can be extended to give real shade.
If you’re looking for a side-by-side that can function as a single buggy, and comes with the added benefit of a reversible carrycot, we recommend the Roma Gemini. Our test participants loved the clever system that allows you to attach and take away cots to transform the pushchair from an individual pram to a twin-pram. The simple one-handed folding system that takes only a few seconds and the fact that the front seat reclines flat for babies were also appreciated by our test subjects.
Stores
Some cheap double pushchairs come with extra storage in the form of bins or boxes that can be placed underneath the seat. Some double pushchairs include a large basket that can be accessed easily between the seats. The Cybex Geo 3 is an example of the former offering a staggering 23kg of space in single mode and a hugely spacious undercarriage basket when used as a double. It also has a convenient folding stand that our Lab experts loved and can be activated with just one hand.
Another option that is stylish is the egg2 pushchair, loved by its sleek design and compact dimensions, but that can expand to accommodate twins, or even a baby and toddler by adding a “PiggyBack” board (available separately). It can even hold three children if you add two cocoons. It doesn’t come with the fancy standing fold that you find in some rivals, but our lab experts were impressed with its simple opening process that only requires lifting the latch.
