11 "Faux Pas" That Are Actually OK To Make With Your Cheap Double Buggy
Buying a Cheap Double Buggy
Spending a little more on a tandem stroller will ensure that it lasts for many years and retains its value. The Uppababy Vista V2 model is an excellent stroller which can be converted into a single. It also comes with another seat, called the RumbleSeat that allows for more flexibility.
It has decent seat recline and a large canopy with UPF 50+ protection as well as windows that peek out. It's also compact and folds easily.
Budget
A good double buggy is a lifesaver when you have two kids in tow, and it will not cost a fortune. You'll have to take into account car seats or carrycots in addition to the cost of the buggy but there are plenty of alternatives available that won't cost a fortune.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is a great option for those looking to save money. It's under PS1,000, and can be used for twins or a baby and toddler or even three kids with the 'PiggyBack board' (which you purchase separately). It's the tiniest side-by-side that's available and has a footprint that's the same as a single pushchair so it's easy to get through doorways, shopping aisles and public transportation.
The iCandy Orange is another great alternative and one of our favourite budget double buggies. It has 30 seating options and soft suspension that allows for easy work of kerbs. It can also be transformed from a single buggie to a double, so that it can grow with your family. You can even fit an additional child in the back.
Style
If you are on a tight budget you can still purchase some gorgeous double buggies. They look stunning and are very durable. You can also find the best price for resales by choosing a reputable brand.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is one of the most affordable double stroller s available. It comes in a variety of colors and looks stylish. It can also be used as an extra triple buggy by using the UPPA's 'PiggyBack' board. It can accommodate twins, a toddler and a baby or a child in an infant car seat. This is a perfect double buggy for city use as it has a slim frame that can be pushed through the majority of doors. It can also be used for shopping, buses and trains.
Another popular option is the iCandy Peach. It's a light-weight alternative that costs less than PS300, including the adaptors required for carseats. It can also be used as an individual and comes with appealing features, including a large, spacious shopping basket and front suspension, as well as UPF 50+ sunshades with windows that peek out. There is also a cup holder that can be used by one parent and the seats can face each other or be set apart.
Double buggies that are side-by-side cost more, however they are easier to push. They can be wide, so they may not be able to pass through doors with narrow openings. They are better suited for older children who prefer to sit together. The Mountain Buggy Duet has one of the slimmest sides-by-sides available.
Sites like Rebelstork offer some of the best double strollers for sale at affordable prices. They offer open box and overstock items as well as new models so you can test before you buy. They also offer a trade-in plan which allows you to earn discounts if you decide to upgrade.
Convenience
The Joie Evalite Duo pushchair is an excellent choice if you are on a budget but still want to be able to accommodate your children (and aren't averse to the slightly larger size). It folds easily, is lightweight and comfortable to drive. It also provides ample storage for both children and adults, and UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows, reclined seats that are simple to adjust, as well as a clever one-handed brake lever on the handlebar, all at the price of PS1000.
If you are looking for a low-cost double stroller that can also accommodate infant car seats such as the iCandy Orange Wave is another suitable option. Its sleek frame increases in width to accommodate two seats or a stroller seat with a bassinet that can be added. You can take up to three kids with the UPPAbaby 'PiggyBack,' an exercise board for older children (which is available separately).
The seat and carrycot feature side-by-side positioning, meaning your children will be able to see each other and you'll have an eye on them, meaning there's less chance of mistaking them. It's also the slimmest side-by-side available and will pass through most doors and can be steered easily around tight corners. It's heavy and long to push in double mode, and it isn't as efficient as some of the other best-value double buggies on rough or uneven terrain.
This is a great mid-priced option, and our top-rated double buggy. It's lightweight, comes with an integrated basket for shopping, and it can accommodate two child car seats, or one baby and a toddler. It has a comfortable seat and big wheels on the back that can be more robust than our more compact models. Additionally, it folds into an incredibly compact, self-standing design and comes with a handy carry strap that makes it easy to transport. It's not as spacious or high-quality as other best-value doubles, but it's still an excellent value.
Safety
When purchasing a double stroller, 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 various reclining positions that are appropriate for their age. Find large storage baskets along with pockets and other items you might find useful like sunshades and rain covers.
If you are planning to use the buggy mostly in the city or on public transportation, you should make sure it is lightweight and easy to move. You'll also want to consider the weight of the buggy once it's fully loaded and whether it can be folded and put in the car boot. If you are planning to use the buggy in smaller towns and villages, make sure that the wheels are well-gripped and are able to traverse narrow roads and doorways.
There are many different types of double buggies that are available, with side-by-side models being the most well-known. They are more hefty and difficult to push, but they offer the benefit of both children being capable of seeing. They can also be quite pricey.
Tandem buggies allow the children to be placed next to each other. It is a more comfortable option for older children, but the buggy will be less stable. It is also difficult to navigate narrow doors and up and down the kerbs.
The iCandy Peach double buggies are one of the most popular and stylish models. It has many unique features. It has a built-in seat for rides, "cinema seating" and 30 different seating configurations. It can even fit a third child. It is also light and has good suspension. It can convert from single to double with the purchase of an additional seat.
Mountain Buggy Duet makes a excellent option for those looking for a sleeker double buggy. It is the thinnest side-byside available and comes with an area that is comparable to the size of a single buggy. It offers several configurations so that both children can be able to view the world and there is a handy handbrake that is adjustable handlebar. It can also accommodate two infant car seats with the addition of an adapter.
