Budget
A double buggy can be lifesaver for parents with two young children. It shouldn't cost a fortune. You'll also have to think about the cost of car seats and carrycots, and the cost of the buggy. However, there are many options that won't break the budget.
A great option if you want to keep costs low is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 - it's an amazing value for money at under PS1,000 and can accommodate twins, one baby and one toddler or three children (with the 'PiggyBack' board that you can purchase separately). It's the tiniest side-by-side that's available and has an area that's as big as a single pushchair, so it's easy to get through doors, shopping aisles, and public transportation.
The iCandy Orange double buggies are another option. It has 30 different seating configurations and soft suspension that makes kerbs simple. It can also be converted from single to double so it can grow with your family and accommodate a third child in the back.

It's also the tiniest on the market. This means it'll fit through the majority of doors and is able to maneuver around tight corners. It's heavy and long to push in double mode, and it does not perform as well as some of the other top-quality double buggies for rough or uneven terrain.

It's not as big or as luxurious as some of the other top-quality doubles, but it's a great price overall.
Safety
When buying a double buggy make sure it meets all the important safety standards. This includes the safety straps, how the seats adjust to accommodate your growing children and if they are equipped with various reclining positions that are appropriate for their age. Also look for a spacious storage basket with pockets and whether there are any other items that could be useful, like sunshades, rain covers.
If you plan to use the buggy primarily in the city or on public transport, make sure that it is light and easy to maneuver. You should also think about how much it weighs fully loaded and whether it can be folded easily to fit into your car boot. If you are using the buggy a lot in small towns or villages make sure the wheels have plenty of grip and that it can negotiate narrow streets and doorways.
There are a myriad of double buggies. However, the most well-known is the side-by-side model. These tend to be longer and more difficult to push, but they do offer the advantage of both children getting a view. They can also be quite expensive.
Tandem buggies are a different option and have the kids placed next to one another. This is a more comfortable option for older children, however it does mean that the buggy is less stable than a side-byside. It can also be difficult to get them through narrow doors and up and down kerbs.

It comes with a built-in board for riding on, "cinema seating" and 30 different seating configurations. It can even accommodate an additional child.
