When selecting a budget double pushchair, it’s crucial to consider the dimensions and foldability. A lot of models fold to a smaller size, making it easy to store. Certain models can be heavy, requiring a larger space to store them. Consider the weight of the pushchair as well as its suspension, as these can affect the performance on uneven surfaces or kerbs.

Certain models are suitable for twins as they can be used in conjunction with two car seats or a baby car seat and even stroller.

Design
When you are looking for a low-cost double pushchair, there are numerous things to consider, such as the size, style, price and features. The most important thing to think about is whether the product will suit your family’s requirements. There are two kinds of double-seaters: side-by-side (one seat is directly behind the other) and inline. Each type has its own pros and cons.
The side-by-side model comes with two fixed seats. It is best for siblings who are of the same age, but can also be used by one child. They are wider than single-seat buggies, and are able to navigate through tight spaces, kerbs, and doorways with ease. Additionally, they might have limited storage space, and are often heavy to push over uneven terrain.
Inline models feature a seat in front of the other and are ideally suited for older toddlers or children. They can be used with just one infant car seat and could feature a bigger basket than side-by-side models. Inline strollers aren’t as equipped with features as other strollers that are lightweight. For example they don’t have a cup holder or sunshade for every child.

The double-to-triple pushchair may not be as light as others but it has a long-lasting design and comes with a large shopping basket for the price.
Comfort
The best cheap double pushchairs are designed with the comfort of both parents and children in mind.

Stores

Some double pushchairs have a large basket that can be reached easily between the seats. The Cybex Geo 3 offers a staggering 23kg when used in single mode, and a huge undercarriage basket if used as a double. It also comes with a handy, easy-to-use standing fold that our Lab experts really liked and can be activated by using just one hand.

It can grow to accommodate twins, or even toddlers and babies by adding a “PiggyBack” board (available separately). It can even hold three kids if you add two cocoons. It doesn’t have the fancy standing fold you see in other models however, our lab experts were impressed by its easy opening process that only requires lifting a latch.
