Budget
A double buggy can be a lifesaver for parents with two young children. It shouldn't cost a fortune. It is also important to consider the price of car seats or carrycots, as well as the price of the buggy. But even if you do, there are many options that won't break the bank.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is a great option when you're trying to save money. It's priced under PS1,000, and can be used for twins as well as a baby and toddler or even three kids with 'PiggyBack board' (which is purchased separately). It's the tiniest tandem on the market. The footprint is the same as that of one pushchair, which means it is able to be easily carried through doors and aisles.

Seat and carrycots are set side-by-side, so your children can see each the other and you can keep an eye on them. This decreases the chances of them being confused. It's also the tiniest on the market. This means it will fit through the majority of doors and is able to maneuver around corners with ease. However, it does feel heavy and long to push when it's in double mode, and does not perform as well on uneven or rough terrain like some of our top-quality double buggies.
This is our top-rated double stroller. It's a great choice for a moderate price. It's light, comes with a handy shopping basket, and can take two car seats for children or one baby seat as well as a toddler seat. It has a comfortable seat and large wheels on the back that can handle rougher terrain than some of our less compact models. It also folds into a compact, self-standing model and comes with a handy strap for carrying. It's not as big or high-quality as other best-value doubles, but it's still a great deal.
Safety
Check that the double buggy meets all safety standards before buying it. This includes the safety straps, the way that the seats adjust as your children grow and if they come with different reclining positions to suit their age. Look for large storage baskets as well as pockets and other accessories you may find useful, such as sunshades and rain covers.
If you are planning to use the buggy primarily in the city or on public transportation, make sure that it is light and easy to maneuver. You should also take into consideration the weight of the buggy when it's fully loaded, and if it is able to be folded and placed in your car boot. If you intend to use the buggy in smaller villages or towns, be sure that the wheels sturdy and grippy enough to traverse narrow roads and doorways.
