Buying a Cheap Double Buggy
A little extra on a tandem stroller will ensure that it lasts for years and will retain its value. The Uppababy Vista V2 is a top-rated model that is able to convert to a single and has an additional seat, the RumbleSeat, that adds flexibility.
It has a decent recline for the seat, as well as a huge canopy with UPF protection 50+ and peekaboo window. It's also small and folds up easily.
Budget
A double-buggy can be a lifesaver when you have two kids in tow, and it shouldn't break the bank. It is also important to consider the price of car seats or carrycots, as well as the cost of the buggy. But even then, there are many options that won't break the budget.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is a great option for those looking to save money. It's priced under PS1,000, and it can accommodate twins, a baby and a toddler or even three kids with 'PiggyBack board' (which you can purchase separately). It's the most compact side-by-side available that's available and has an area that's as big as a single pushchair so it's easy to maneuver through doorways, shopping aisles and public transportation.
The iCandy Orange double buggies are another great option. It has 30 different seating options, and soft suspension that makes kerbs simple. It can also be converted from single to double to accommodate your family and take a third child in the back.

It folds easily, is lightweight and easy to drive.

If you are looking for a low-cost double buggy that can fit infant car seats such as the iCandy Orange Wave is another suitable option.

It can even go up to three kids when you add UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack running board for children who are older (you buy it separately).
The seat and the carrycot are side-by-side seating, meaning that 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 available. This means it'll pass through most doors and be maneuvered around corners with ease. It's heavy and long to push in double mode, and does not perform as well as some of the other top-quality double buggies for rough or uneven terrain.
This is a great mid-range option and our top-rated double stroller. It's light, has an integrated shopping basket, and can fit two child car seats, or one toddler and one baby. It features a comfortable and spacious seat and large wheels on the back that can take on rough terrain better than some of our less compact models. It folds down into a compact self-standing form and comes with a convenient strap for carrying. It's not as large or as high-quality as some of the top-quality doubles, but it's a great value overall.
Safety
Verify that the double stroller is safe before buying it. Push Chairs And Prams and how the seats adjust to your child's growth are vital. Also, check if the seats are reclined in different positions for different ages. Also look for a spacious storage basket with pockets and whether there are any other items that could be useful, like sunshades, rain covers.
If you are going to use the buggy mostly in the city or on public transport, make sure whether it is light and easy to maneuver. You will also need to consider how much it weighs fully loaded, and if it is easy to fold up and fit in your car boot. If you intend to use the buggy in small towns and villages, make sure that the wheels are well-gripped and are able to navigate through narrow streets and doors.
