Budget
A good double buggy can be a lifesaver when you have two young kids with you and isn't going to cost you a fortune. It is important to consider car seats or carrycots, as well as the price of the buggy but there are some amazing options available that won't break the bank.

It's the most compact side-by-side available on the market and has an area that's as big as a single pushchair. This means it's easy to maneuver through doorways, shopping aisles and public transport.
The iCandy Orange double buggies are another great option. It comes with 30 different seating configurations, and soft suspension to make kerbs easy. It can also be transformed from a single buggie to a double so that it grows with your family. You can even fit an additional child in the back.

Convenience
If you're on a budget, but still want a model that can accommodate your children (and you're okay with having a little more bulky pushchair) The Joie Evalite Duo is a excellent choice. It folds easily, is lightweight and comfortable to drive. It also provides ample storage for both children, and UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows, reclined seats that are easy to adjust, as well as a clever one-handed brake lever on the handlebar - all for a price point well below PS1000.
If you are looking for a low-cost double buggy that can fit infant car seats such as the iCandy Orange Wave is another excellent option. Its sleek frame increases in width to accommodate two seats or one stroller seat with a bassinet that can be added. You can take up to three children with the UPPAbaby 'PiggyBack,' an exercise board for older children (which you buy separately).
The seat and the carrycot are side-by-side positioning, meaning your children will be able to see each other and you'll have an eye on them, so there's less chance of mistaking them. It's also the thinnest available. This means it'll pass through most doors and can be maneuvered around corners that are tight. However, it is heavy and long to push when it's in double mode, and isn't as effective on rough or uneven terrain as our other best-value double buggies.
This is our top-rated double stroller. It's a great choice for a mid-range price. It is lightweight, has an integrated basket for shopping, and can fit two car seats for children or one toddler and one baby. It has a comfortable seat and large wheels on the back that are able to handle rougher terrain than some of our less compact models. It folds down into a compact self-standing form and comes with a comfortable carrying strap. It's not as big or as high-quality as some of the other best-value doubles, but it's an excellent value overall.
Safety
When purchasing a double stroller, you must ensure that it meets all important safety standards. This includes safety straps, how the seats adjust to accommodate your growing children and whether they have different reclining positions to suit their age. Look for a large storage basket as well as pockets and other accessories you might find useful like sunshades and rain covers.
If you're going to use the buggy mostly around town or on public transport, ensure that it is light and easy to move. Also, you should think about the weight of the buggy when it's fully loaded and whether it is able to be folded and put in the car boot. If you are using the buggy often in villages or small towns, ensure that the wheels have plenty of grip and that it can negotiate the narrow roads and doorways.
There are many different types of double buggies available, with side-by-side models being the most well-known. They tend to be larger and more difficult to push, but they have the benefit of each child getting a view. They can be expensive.
