Buying a Cheap Double Buggy

A good double buggy can be an essential item when you have two children in tow and isn't going to cost you a fortune. You'll have to take into account car seats or carrycots, as well as the cost of the buggy itself, but even then there are some fantastic options available that won't break the bank.
