7 Simple Secrets To Totally Making A Statement With Your Cheap Double Buggy
Buying a Cheap Double Buggy
A little more money spent on a tandem stroller will ensure it lasts for many years and is still worth its price. The Uppababy Vista V2 model is an excellent stroller that can be converted into a single. It also comes with an additional seat, the RumbleSeat which allows for greater flexibility.
It has a decent recline for the seat, as well as a huge canopy that has UPF protection of 50+ and a peekaboo window. It is also compact and folds easily.
Budget
A double buggy can be a lifesaver for parents with two kids. It will not cost a lot. It is also important to consider the cost of car seats and carrycots, and the price of the buggy. But even if you do there are plenty of options that won't break the bank.
A great option if you are looking to cut costs is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 - it's an incredible value at less than $1000 and can be used with twins with one baby and one toddler or three children (with the 'PiggyBack' board that you purchase 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 get through the doorways, shopping aisles and public transportation.
The iCandy Orange is another great option and is one of our top budget double buggies. It has 30 seating options and comes with soft suspension that allows for easy work of kerbs. It is also able to be transformed from a single buggie to a double to grow with your family. You can even fit a third child at the back.
Style
You can still find some gorgeous double buggies for a budget. Many of them look great and are extremely durable. If you choose a reputable brand, they'll also have good resale value.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is one of the best budget double stroller s available. It is available in a variety of colors and is elegant. It can also be used as an extra triple buggy by using UPPA's separate 'PiggyBack' board. It can accommodate twins, a toddler and the baby or child in a car seat for infants. This is a double buggy that's perfect for city use. It has a narrow frame, which will fit through most doors and handle shopping aisles and trains.
The iCandy Peach is another popular option. This is a great lightweight option that is priced at less than PS300 including the adaptors needed for carseats. It can also be used as one-person and has nice features such as a large, spacious shopping basket front suspension, and UPF 50+ sunshades, with peekaboo windows. There is also a cup holder that can be used by one parent and the seats can be positioned to face each other, or be positioned away from eachother.
Double buggies that are side-byside cost more, but are less difficult to push. They aren't always wide and therefore may not pass through doors that are narrow. They are better suited for older children who like to sit with their parents. The Mountain Buggy Duet has one of the slimmest sides-by-sides available.
Sites like Rebelstork provide some of the best double strollers that are available for sale at a reasonable price. They offer both old and new models as well as open boxes and overstocks. You can test the strollers before buying. They also have a trade-in scheme which allows you to earn cash back when you decide to upgrade.
Convenience
If you're on a tight budget but still want a model that can accommodate your kids (and you're okay with having a little more bulky pushchair) then the Joie Evalite Duo is a good choice. It folds easily, is lightweight and comfortable to drive. It also has ample storage for both children and adults, and UPF 50+ canopies that have the ability to peek out windows, reclined seats that are easy to adjust, and a smart brake lever that is one-handed on the handlebar - all at an affordable price of PS1000.
If you are looking for a low-cost double buggy that can accommodate infant car seats, the iCandy Orange Wave is another suitable option. Its sleek frame expands in size to accommodate two seats or one stroller seat with a bassinet option. It can even go up to three children when you add on UPPAbaby's 'PiggyBack' running board for older children (you purchase it separately).
Seat and carrycot are positioned on opposite sides, which means your children will be able to see each other and you can keep an eye on them. This decreases the chances of them getting confused. It's also the tiniest side-by-side available, so it should be able to pass through the majority of doors and can be steered easily around tight corners. However, it is heavy and long to push when it's in double mode, and isn't as effective on rough or uneven terrain as our other best-value double buggies.
This is a great mid-priced choice and our top-rated double buggy. It's lightweight, has an easy-to-use shopping basket and can accommodate two car seats for children, or one baby seat and an infant seat. It has a comfortable seat and large wheels on the back that are able to be more robust than some of our more compact models. Plus, it folds into a compact, self-standing shape and has a convenient carry strap that allows for easy schlepping. It's not as large or as high-quality as other top-quality doubles, however it's a great price overall.
Safety
Check that the double buggy meets all safety standards prior to purchasing it. The safety straps as well as the way in which the seats adjust to the growth of your child are crucial. Also, check if the seats have different recline positions for different ages. Also look for a spacious storage basket and pockets and whether there are any other extras that could be useful, like sunshades or rain covers.
If you are planning to use the buggy primarily in the city or on public transportation, you should make sure it's lightweight and easy to move. You will also need to consider how much it weighs fully loaded, and if it is easy to fold and fit into the car boot. If you are planning to use the buggy in smaller villages or towns, be sure that the wheels are well-grip and that they can navigate narrow doorways and pavements.
There are a myriad of double buggies, however the most popular is the side-by-side model. They are more hefty and difficult to push, but have the benefit of both children being in a position to see. These can be quite expensive.
Tandem buggies are a different option and these have the children placed next to one another. This can be more comfortable for older children, however it can mean that the buggy is less stable than a side-by-side. It can be a challenge 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 fashionable piece of kit with many unique features. It has a built-in board for a ride-on, "cinema seating" and 30 different seating configurations. It can even accommodate a third child. It is also lightweight and has good suspension. It can be converted from a single seat to a double one with the purchase of an additional seat.
For those who want an easier to maneuver double buggy, the Mountain Buggy Duet is an excellent option. It is the thinnest side-byside available and comes with an area that is comparable to the size of a single buggy. It comes with a variety of configurations that let both children see the world. There's also a handy handbrake that can be adjusted by a handlebar. It can also accommodate two infant car seats by way of an adapter.
