It offers a decent recline for the seat and a large canopy with UPF 50+ protection and peekaboo windows. It folds easily and compactly.

Budget

A double buggy can be a lifesaver for parents with two young children. It isn't expensive. You'll also have to think about the price of car seats or carrycots, and the cost of the buggy. But even if you do there are plenty of options that won't break the budget.

The UPPAbaby vista 2 is an excellent choice when you're trying to save money. It's priced at less than PS1,000 and can be used for twins or a baby and toddler, or even three kids with a 'PiggyBack' board (which you purchase separately). It's the tiniest tandem on the market. The footprint is identical to the one of a single twin pushchair, so it can easily be pushed through doorways and shopping aisles.

The iCandy Orange double buggies are another option. It comes with 30 different seating options, and soft suspension to make kerbs a breeze. It can also be converted from single to double to accommodate your family and add a third child to the back.

Convenience

If you're on a tight budget and still want a product that will accommodate your kids (and you're okay with a slightly bulkier twin pushchair) then the Joie Evalite Duo is a excellent choice. Our Lab experts love that it's light, smooth to drive, and can be folded in half in a few seconds. It's got plenty of storage space for two kids, a large UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out, reclining seats which are easy to adjust, and a clever brake lever that is located on the handlebar. All this for a price lower than PS1000.

If you need a cheap double stroller that can also accommodate infant car seats such as the iCandy Orange Wave is another suitable option. Its sleek frame can be expanded in width to accommodate two seats or one stroller seat with a bassinet option. It can even accommodate up to three children when you add on UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack running board for children who are older (you purchase it separately).

Seat and carrycot are positioned in a row, so that your children will be able to see each the other and you can keep a close eye on them. This minimizes the risk of them being confused. It's also the tiniest on the market. This means it will fit through the majority of doors and be maneuvered around tight corners. It's heavy and long to push in double mode, and it doesn't perform as well as some of the other best-value double buggies on rough or uneven terrain.

This is a great mid-priced choice, and our top-rated double stroller. It's light, comes with an easy-to-use shopping basket and can fit 2 child car seats or one baby seat and an infant seat. It features a comfortable and spacious seat with big 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 model and comes with a comfortable strap for carrying. It's not as spacious or as well-made as other best-value doubles, but it's a great value overall.

Safety

When you purchase a double buggy, you should check that it is in compliance with all the necessary safety standards. This includes safety straps, the way that the seats adjust as your children get older and if they are equipped with different reclining positions to suit their age. Look for a large storage basket as well as pockets and other accessories you might need, like sunshades and rain covers.

If you intend to use your buggy mostly in the city or on public transportation, make sure it's lightweight and easy to move. Also, think about how much it weighs fully loaded and if it is easy to fold and fit in your car boot. If you plan to use the buggy in small villages or towns, be sure that the wheels well-gripped and are able to navigate through narrow streets and doors.

There are many different types of double buggies with side-byside models being the most popular. They tend to be larger and more difficult to push, but they do offer the advantage of each child getting a view. These can be quite expensive.

Tandem buggies are an alternative and these have the children placed side-by-side. It is more comfortable for older children, but the buggy will be less stable. It can also be difficult to fit them into narrow doors and can be difficult to go between kerbs.
