Budget

A double buggy can be lifesaver for parents with two kids. It shouldn't cost a fortune. It is important to consider car seats or carrycots, as well as the cost of the buggy itself but there are some fantastic alternatives available that won't break the bank.

A great option if you are looking to cut costs is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 - an amazing value for money at less than $1000 and can be used with twins with one baby and one toddler or three kids (with the 'PiggyBack' board that you can purchase separately). It's the slimmest side-by-side on the market, and comes with the same footprint as a single pushchair, so it's easy to get through doorways, shopping aisles and public transport.

The iCandy Orange double buggies are another great option. It has 30 different seating options, and soft suspension to make kerbs a breeze. It is also able to be transformed from a single buggie to a double to grow with your family. You can even fit an additional child in the back.

Seat and carrycots are set side-by-side, so your children will be able to see each other and you can keep a close eye on them. This decreases the chances of them getting confused. It's also the tiniest side-by-side on the market, so it should be able to pass through the majority of doors and is able to be easily steered around tight corners.

It's not as spacious or high-quality as other best-value doubles but it's still a great deal.

Safety

This includes the safety straps, the way that the seats adjust as your children grow and whether they have different reclining positions to suit their age. Look for an ample storage basket, pockets and any extras you might find useful like sunshades and rain covers.

If you are going to use the buggy mostly around town or on public transport, make sure that it is light and easy to move. You should also take into consideration the weight of the buggy when it's fully loaded, and whether it is able to be folded and fitted in your car boot. If you use the buggy often in small towns or villages, check that the wheels have plenty of grip and are able to navigate narrow streets and doorways.

There are a variety of double buggies that are available, with side-by-side models being the most well-known. These tend to be longer and more difficult to push, however they have the benefit of the children both having a view. They can be expensive.

Tandem buggies are a different option and they have the children positioned next to each other. This is a more comfortable option for older children, however it also means that the buggy is less stable than a side-byside. It is also difficult to maneuver them through narrow doorways and up and down kerbs.
