The Uppababy Vista V2 model is a top-rated stroller that can be converted into a single. It also has another seat, called the RumbleSeat that adds flexibility.

Budget

A double buggy can be lifesaver for parents with two kids. It shouldn't cost a fortune. You'll also need to consider the cost of car seats and carrycots, and the price of the buggy. But even then there are plenty of alternatives that won't break the budget.

A great option if you want to keep costs low is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 - it's an incredible value at under PS1,000 and can accommodate twins or one baby, as well as one toddler or three children (with a 'PiggyBack' board, which you buy separately). It's the tiniest side-by-side on the market, and comes with a footprint that's the same as a single pushchair so it's easy to navigate doors, shopping aisles, and public transport.

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

You can still find some gorgeous double buggies for a budget. Many of them look great and are very durable. You can also enjoy the best price for resales if you choose a popular brand.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is one of the best twin stroller double twin strollers for newborns on the market. It is available in a variety of colors and is elegant to see. The UPPA "PiggyBack Board" can be added to make a triple buggy. It can be used to accommodate twins or a toddler, as well as the baby or child in an infant car seat.

Double buggies that are side-by-side cost more but are generally easier to push than other types. They can be quite large though so they might not fit through some narrow doors. They are typically better suited to older children who prefer to sit in a row 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 box and overstock items as well as new models so you can try before buying. They have a trade in scheme that lets you get money off your purchase if you choose to for an upgrade.

Convenience

The Joie Evalite Duo pushchair is a great choice if you are on a budget but still want to accommodate your children (and aren't averse to the slightly larger size). Our Lab experts like it because it's lightweight, easy to drive, and can be folded into a half-length in a matter of seconds. It also provides ample storage for both children, and UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows, reclining seats that are easy to adjust, and a clever brake lever that can be operated with one hand on the handlebar - all for an affordable price of PS1000.

If you are looking for a low-cost double stroller that can also accommodate infant car seats and car seats, the iCandy Orange Wave is another excellent option. Its sleek frame can be expanded to accommodate two seats or a single stroller seat with a bassinet option. It can also accommodate up to three children when you add on UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack' running board for children who are older (you buy it separately).

Seat and carrycots are set side-by-side, so your children can see each the other and you can keep a close eye on them. This reduces the chance of them being confused. It's also the tiniest available. This means it will fit through most doors and is able to maneuver around corners that are tight. However, it feels heavy and long when it's in double mode, and isn't as effective on uneven or rough terrain as some of our other best-value double buggies.

This is our top-rated double stroller. It's an excellent choice for a price that is mid-range. It's lightweight, has a handy shopping basket, and can accommodate two car seats for children or one baby seat and the toddler seat. It has a comfortable seat and big wheels on the back that are able to take on rough terrain better than some of our less compact models. Additionally, it folds into the compact self-standing shape and has a convenient carry strap for easy schlepping. It's not as big or as well-made as some of the other top-quality doubles, but it's an excellent value overall.

Safety

Check that the double buggy meets all safety standards prior to buying it. This includes safety straps, the way that the seats adjust as your children grow and whether they have different recline positions to match their age. Look for large storage baskets along with pockets and other items you might need, like sunshades and rain covers.

If you're planning to use the buggy mostly around town or on public transport, make sure that it is lightweight and easy to move. Also, think about how much it weighs when fully loaded and if it can be folded easily to fit into your car boot. If you are planning to use the buggy in smaller villages or towns, be sure that the wheels sturdy and grippy enough to traverse narrow roads and doorways.

There are many types of double buggies, however the most popular is the side-by-side model. They tend to be larger and more difficult to push, however they offer the benefit of each child having a view. These can be quite expensive.

Tandem buggies are a different option and have the kids placed next to one another. It is more comfortable for older children, however the buggy is less stable. It can be a challenge to maneuver them through narrow doorways and up and down the kerbs.
