Budget

A good double buggy can be a lifesaver when you have two children with you and will not cost a fortune. You'll have to take into account car seats or carrycots as well as the cost of the buggy, but even then there are plenty of options available that won't break the bank.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is a great choice if you're trying to save money. It's under PS1,000, and it can fit twins as well as a baby and toddler, or even three kids with the 'PiggyBack board' (which you purchase separately). It is the slimmest tandem on the market. The footprint is identical to the footprint of a single pushchair, meaning it can easily be pushed through doorways and shopping aisles.

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

The seat and carrycot have side-by-side seating, meaning that your kids can see each other and you'll be able to keep an eye on them, which means you're less likely to misinterpret them. It's also the tiniest side-by-side available, so it should pass through most doors and be easily maneuvered around tight corners. It's a bit heavy and lengthy to push in double mode, and it does not 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 buggy. It is lightweight, has an integrated basket for shopping, and it can be used with two child car seats, or one toddler and a baby.

Plus, it folds into the compact twin stroller self-standing shape and has a convenient carry strap that allows for easy schlepping. It's not as spacious or as well-made as some of the top-quality doubles, however it's a great price overall.

Safety

When purchasing a double stroller, make sure it meets all important safety standards. The safety straps as well as the way in which the seats adapt to your child's needs are vital. Also, check if the seats are reclined in different positions for each age group. Look for an ample storage basket along with pockets and other items you might need, like sunshades and rain covers.

If you are going to be using the buggy mostly around town or on public transport, ensure that it is light and easy to move. You will also need to take into consideration the weight of the buggy when fully loaded and whether it can be folded easily to fit into your car boot. If you plan to use the buggy in smaller villages and towns, make sure that the wheels well-grip and that they can navigate narrow doorways and pavements.
