Budget
A double-buggy can be an absolute lifesaver when you have two young kids in tow, and it will not cost a fortune. You'll also need to consider the price of car seats or carrycots, as well as the cost of the buggy. However, there are many alternatives that won't break the bank.

It's priced under PS1,000, and can be used for twins, a baby and a toddler or even three children with 'PiggyBack board' (which you purchase separately). It's the lightest tandem on the market. The footprint is identical to the footprint of one pushchair, which means it can easily be moved through doors and shopping aisles.
The iCandy Orange double buggies are another option. It comes with 30 different seating options, and soft suspension to make kerbs easy. It also converts from single to double so it can grow with your family and can even take a third child in the back.

The seat and carrycot feature side-by-side positioning, meaning your children 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's also the tiniest side-by-side available which means it will fit through most doorways and is able to be easily steered around tight corners. However, it does feel long and heavy to push when in double mode. It also does not perform as well on rough or uneven terrain as some of our other top-quality double buggies.

It's lightweight, comes with an integrated basket for shopping, and it can accommodate two car seats for children, or one baby and a toddler.

Safety
When you purchase a double buggy, you must ensure that it is in compliance with all the necessary safety standards. This includes safety straps, how the seats can be adjusted as your children grow and whether they have various reclining positions that are appropriate for their age. Look for an ample storage basket along with pockets and other items you might need, like sunshades and rain covers.
If you plan to use the buggy mostly in town or on public transportation, you should make sure it is lightweight and easy to move. You should also think about how much it weighs fully loaded and if it can be folded easily to fit into your car boot. If you intend 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 many types of double buggies. However, the most well-known is the side-by-side model. They are longer and harder to push, but they offer the advantage of both children being able to see. These can be very expensive.
Tandem buggies permit children to be positioned next each one. This is a more comfortable option for older children, but it also means that the buggy is less stable than a side-byside. It is also more difficult to get them through narrow doors, and it can be hard work going between the kerbs.
