Budget
A good double buggy is an essential item when you have two kids with you and shouldn't break the bank. You'll need to factor in car seats or carrycots in addition to the cost of the buggy however, there are some fantastic alternatives available that won't break the bank.
A great option for those who want to keep costs low is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 - it's an amazing value for money at less than $1000 and can be used with twins or one baby, as well as one toddler or three kids (with a 'PiggyBack' board, which you buy separately). It's the tiniest side-by-side on the market and has a footprint that's the same as a single pushchair, so it's easy to navigate doors, shopping aisles, and public transportation.
The iCandy Orange is another great option and one of our most affordable
double seat Stroller buggies - it has 30 seating options and comes with soft suspension that can take care of the kerbs. It can also be changed from a single to a double to grow with your family. You can even fit a third child at the back.
Style
If you are on a budget, you can still buy some beautiful double buggies. They are often designed to look stunning and are also very durable. If you choose a well-known brand, they'll offer a decent resale price.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 double stroller is among the most affordable double strollers available on the market. It is available in a variety of colours and is really stylish to take a look at.

It has a small frame, which will fit through most doors and can handle trains and shopping aisles.
Another option that is popular is the iCandy Peach. This is a great lightweight option that is priced at less than PS300 including the adaptors that are required to fit carseats. It can also be used a single and has some nice features such as a wide, spacious shopping basket front suspension, and UPF 50+ sunshades, with windows that can be seen from a distance. There's also a cup holder for one parent, and the seats can face one another or be placed away from one another.
double infant stroller buggies that are side-by-side cost more, but are much easier to push. They can be wide which means they won't fit through narrow doors. They are better suited for older children who prefer to sit with their parents. The Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the slimmest side-by-sides available on the market.

Convenience
If you're looking to save money, but still want something that can accommodate your kids (and you don't mind a slightly bulkier pushchair) The Joie Evalite Duo is a good choice. It folds easily, is lightweight and easy to drive. 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 on the handlebar. All this at a price well lower than PS1000.
If you are looking for a low-cost double buggy that can fit infant car seats and car seats, the iCandy Orange Wave is another suitable option. Its slick frame expands widthways to accommodate two seats or a single stroller with an optional bassinet. You can carry up to three children with the UPPAbaby 'PiggyBack,' the running board for older children (which is available separately).
The seat and the carrycot are placed on opposite sides, which means your children will be able to see each the other and you can keep an eye on them. This reduces the chance of them being confused. It's also the tiniest side-by-side available, so it should fit through most doorways and is able to be easily steered around tight corners. However, it feels long and heavy to push when it's 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 choice for a moderate price. It's light, has an integrated basket for shopping, and it can accommodate two car seats for children or one toddler and a baby. Its seat is comfortable and its big back wheels are able to handle rough terrain than the more compact models on our list. It folds down into a compact self-standing design and comes with a handy carrying strap. It's not quite as spacious or luxurious as other high-end doubles, but it's still a great deal.
Safety
Verify that the double stroller meets all safety standards prior to buying it. The safety straps as well as the way in which the seats adapt to your child's needs are vital. Also, make sure that the seats are reclined in different positions for different ages. Look for an ample storage basket along with pockets and other items you might need, like sunshades and rain covers.
If you're planning to use the buggy primarily in the city or on public transport check whether it is light and easy to maneuver. You will also need to take into consideration how much it weighs fully loaded, and if it is easy to fold up and fit into the car boot. If you are using the buggy often in small towns or villages make sure the wheels are able to grip and are able to navigate the narrow roads and doors.
There are many kinds of double buggies available, with side-by-side models being the most popular. They are larger and more difficult to push, but have the benefit of both kids being able to see. These can be quite expensive.
Tandem buggies allow the children to be positioned next each other. This is a more comfortable option for older children, but it does mean that the buggy is less stable than a side-by-side. It can also be difficult to fit them into narrow doors and can be hard work going between kerbs.
