Buying single to double buggy

Spending a little more on a tandem stroller will ensure it lasts for years and retains its value. The Uppababy Vista V2 is a top-rated model that can convert to a single stroller and comes with an additional seat, the RumbleSeat which adds flexibility.

It offers a decent recline for the seat and a decent-sized canopy that comes with UPF 50+ protection as well as peekaboo windows. It folds up easily and compactly.

Budget

A double buggy can be a lifesaver for parents with two kids. It isn't expensive. You'll need to factor in car seats or carrycots as well as the cost of the buggy however, there are some fantastic alternatives available that won't break the bank.

A great option for those who are looking to cut costs is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 - an incredible value at less than PS1,000 and can be used with twins with one baby and one toddler or three kids (with the 'PiggyBack' boards, which you buy separately). It's the tiniest side-by-side on the market, and comes with an area that's as big as a single pushchair. This means it's easy to navigate doors, shopping aisles, and public transportation.

The iCandy Orange is another great option and one of our top budget double buggies. It comes with 30 seating options and comes with soft suspension that can take care of the kerbs. It is also able to be changed from a single to a double, so that it can grow with your family. You can even fit a third child at the back.

Style

You can still find some lovely double buggies on an affordable budget. Many of them look great and are also very durable. You can also enjoy a good resale price by choosing a reputable brand.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 double stroller is among the most affordable double strollers available on the market. It comes in a variety of colours and is really attractive to see. The UPPA "PiggyBack Board" can be added to create a triple buggy. It can take twins or a toddler and a baby or the child in a car seat. This is an extra-large buggy that is perfect for city use. It has a narrow frame, which will fit through most doors and handle shopping aisles and trains.

Another popular choice is the iCandy Peach. It is a light option and costs less than PS300 including the adaptors required to fit carseats. It can be used as a single seat and has several nice features, including the large wide basket, front suspension and UPF 50+ shades with windows that peek out. There's a great cup holder with a single parent and seats can be set to face one another or to be a distance away from one another.

Double buggies with side-by-side seating are more expensive but are often more easy to push than other types. They can be quite big however, so they may not fit through narrow doors, and are generally best suited for older children who prefer to sit facing one another. The Mountain Buggy Duet has one of the tiniest sides-by-sides on the market.

Sites like Rebelstork provide some of the top double strollers available for sale at affordable prices. They offer open boxes and overstock items, as well as new models, so you can try before you buy.

Convenience

The Joie Evalite Duo pushchair is an excellent choice if you are on a budget but still want to be able to accommodate your children (and do not mind the slightly larger size). It's easy to fold and is lightweight and comfortable to drive. It's got plenty of storage space for two children, generous UPF 50+ canopy that has a the ability to peek out, reclining seats which are easy to adjust, and a clever brake lever on the handlebar. All this for a price below PS1000.


If you are looking for a low-cost double buggy that can accommodate infant car seats and car seats, the iCandy Orange Wave is another excellent option. Its sleek frame increases in width to accommodate 2 seats or one stroller with an option bassinet. It can accommodate up to three kids with the UPPAbaby 'PiggyBack,' a running board for older kids (which is available separately).

The seat and the carrycot are placed in a row, so that your children will be able to see each the other and you will be able to keep an eye on them. This reduces the chance of them getting confused. It's also the tiniest side-by-side on the market and will be able to pass through the majority of doors and is able to be easily steered around tight corners. However, it does feel long and heavy to push when in double mode and doesn't do as well on uneven or rough terrain as our other best-value double buggies.

This is our top-rated double stroller. It's a great option for a price that is mid-range. It's lightweight, comes with an integrated basket for shopping, and can fit two child car seats, or one baby and a toddler. It has a comfortable seat and large wheels on the back that can take on rough terrain better than some of our more compact models. It folds down into a compact self-standing design and comes with a comfortable strap for carrying. It's not quite as spacious or as high-end as other top-quality doubles, but it's a great deal.

Safety

Verify that the double stroller meets all safety standards before purchasing 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 different ages. Also, look for a large storage basket with pockets and whether there are any other items that could be useful, like sunshades or rain covers.

If you plan to use the buggy primarily in towns or on public transportation, make sure it is lightweight and easy to maneuver. You should also think about the weight of the buggy once it's fully loaded, and if it can be folded up and put in the car boot. If you use the buggy a lot in villages or small towns, check that the wheels have plenty of grip and can navigate narrow pavements and doors.

There are a variety of double buggies. However, the most popular is the side-byside model. They are generally longer and more difficult to push, but they do offer the advantage of the children both getting a view. They can also be quite pricey.

Tandem buggies are another option and have the kids placed next to one another. It can be more comfortable for older children, but the buggy will be less stable. It is also difficult to get them through narrow doors and up and down kerbs.

The iCandy Peach is one of the best-selling double buggies and is a stylish bit of kit that has plenty of unique features. These include a built-in ride-on board, 'cinema seating' and 30 seating configurations - it can even accommodate a third child! It's also lightweight, has good suspension and can be converted from a single seat to a double one with the purchase of an additional seat.

It has a variety of configurations so that both children can see the world, and it has a handy handbrake that is adjustable handlebar. It can also take two infant car seats with the addition of an adapter.
