The Three Greatest Moments In Cheap Double Buggy History
Buying a Cheap Double Buggy
Parents who are willing to pay a bit more can get an excellent tandem stroller that will last for a long time and retain its resale value. The Uppababy Vista V2 is a top-rated model that can convert to a single and has another seat that is called the RumbleSeat, that adds versatility.
It has decent seat recline and a decent-sized canopy that comes with UPF 50+ protection and peekaboo windows. It folds up easily and compactly.
Budget
A good double buggy can be an absolute lifesaver when you have two young kids with you, and it shouldn't break the bank. You'll also need to consider the price of car seats or carrycots, and the cost of the buggy. But even then there are plenty of options that won't break your budget.
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 accommodate twins or one baby, as well as one toddler or three children (with a 'PiggyBack' board that you purchase separately). It's the most compact side-by-side available on the market and has 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 an alternative. It has 30 different seating configurations and soft suspension to make kerbs a breeze. It can also be converted from single to double so it'll grow with your family and add a third child to the back.
Style
There are still lovely double buggies on an affordable budget. Many of them look great and are also very durable. You can also enjoy the best price for resales when you select a well-known brand.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 double stroller is one of the most affordable double strollers on the market. It is available in a variety of colours and is elegant. It can be used as an extra triple buggy by using the UPPA's own 'PiggyBack' boards. It can be used with twins as well as a toddler and baby or children in a car seat. This is a perfect double buggy for city use as it has a narrow frame that will fit through the majority of doors and be used for shopping as well as trains, buses and other vehicles.
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 required for carseats. It can also be used one-person and has appealing features, including a wide, spacious shopping basket and front suspension, as well as UPF 50+ sunshades that have peekaboo windows. There is a nice cup holder with a single parent and seats can be set to face one another or to separate from each other.
Side-by-side double buggies cost more but are usually more maneuverable than other models. They aren't always wide which means they won't pass through doors that are narrow. They are more suitable for older children who would rather sit together. The Mountain Buggy Duet has one of the slimmest sides-by-sides available.
Sites like Rebelstork offer the top double strollers available for sale at reasonable prices. They have both new and older models and open boxes and overstocks. You can try them before you buy. They also offer a trade-in plan to allow you to get discounts in the event that you decide to upgrade.
Convenience
If you're looking to save money but still want something that can accommodate your kids (and you don't mind an extra-large pushchair), the Joie Evalite Duo is a excellent choice. It's easy to fold and is light and smooth to drive. It also offers good storage for both children, as well as UPF 50+ canopies that have the ability to peek out windows, reclined seats that are easy to adjust, and a smart one-handed brake lever on the handlebar, all at an affordable price of PS1000.
The iCandy Orange Wave double buggy is a great option when you're looking for a cheap double stroller that can fit an infant car seat. Its slick frame can be expanded to accommodate two seats or a single stroller seat with a bassinet option. It can accommodate up to three kids with the UPPAbaby 'PiggyBack,' a running board for older kids (which you buy separately).
The seat and the carrycot are side-by-side placement, which means your kids can see each other, and you'll be able to keep an eye on them, meaning there's less chance of mischance between them. It is also the slimmest available. This means it can fit through most doors and is able to maneuver around corners that are tight. However, it does feel heavy and long when in double mode and does not perform as well on rough or uneven terrain as some of our other top-quality double buggies.
This is a great mid-range choice and our top-rated double stroller. It's light and has an easy-to-use shopping basket and can fit two car seats for children, or one baby seat and an infant seat. It features a comfortable and spacious seat with big wheels on the back that can be more robust than some of our less compact models. Additionally, it folds into the compact self-standing shape and comes with a handy carry strap for easy schlepping. It's not as large or as luxurious as some of the other best-value doubles, but it's a great price overall.
When you purchase a double buggy, you must ensure that it meets all important safety standards. This includes the safety straps, the way that the seats adjust to accommodate your growing children and if they come with different reclining positions to suit their age. Also look for a spacious storage basket and pockets, and whether there are other accessories that are useful, like sunshades, rain covers.
If you are planning to use your buggy mostly in town or on public transport, make sure it is lightweight and easy to maneuver. Also, you should take into consideration the weight of the buggy when fully loaded, and if it can be folded and placed in your car boot. If you intend to use the buggy in smaller towns and villages, make sure that the wheels well-gripped and are able to navigate narrow doorways and pavements.
There are a myriad of double buggies. However, the most well-known is the side-by-side model. They are longer and harder to push but offer the advantage of both children being in a position to see. They can also be expensive.
Tandem buggies allow the children to be positioned next each one. It can be more comfortable for older children, however the buggy will not be as stable. It is also harder to fit them into narrow doors and is difficult to go up and down kerbs.
The iCandy Peach is one of the most popular double buggies, and is a fashionable piece of kit with many unique features. This includes a built-in riding board as well as 'cinema seating'. 30 seating options - it can even accommodate a third child! It's also lightweight and has a good suspension. It can convert from single to double with the purchase of an additional seat.
If you are looking for an easier to maneuver double buggy, the Mountain Buggy Duet is an excellent choice. It is the slimmest side-by-side on the market and has an area that is comparable to a single buggy. It comes with a variety of configurations that let both children see the world. There is also a handbrake that is convenient on an adjustable handlebar. It can also take two infant car seats with the addition of an adapter.
