Cheap Double Pushchair
This is a great double pushchair if you’re looking for a model that isn’t expensive and provides excellent value. It can be used either as a tandem or side-by-side pram. It is designed to stop sibling fights by allowing children to face eachother or away from eachother.
The frame’s clever design allows it to expand widthways to accommodate an extra seat and it can take two carrycots or car seats. It’s an excellent choice for families with twins.
Cost
A double pushchair of high quality can cost hundreds. However, if you choose one designed to last, it should be worth the cost. A reputable brand will help to ensure that your buggy retains an attractive resale value and provides a comfortable ride for parents and children.
When selecting a budget double pushchair, it’s essential to look at its dimensions and folding capabilities. Many models can be folded into a compact size making them easy to store. However, some models are quite heavy and will require a bigger storage space. Consider the weight of the pushchair and its suspension, as these could impact the performance on uneven surfaces or kerbs.
They are more difficult to fit through narrow doors and hallways because they are wider. However, they can make it much easier to get up and down kerbs.
Certain models are suitable for twins since they can be used conjunction with two car seats or a baby car seat and even a stroller. Others, such as the Uppababy Vista V2 Double, are versatile enough to work with both infant car seats as well as toddler seats. They also come with an option for a bassinet that is ideal for infants.

It’s a bit more expensive than our main tandem option however it comes with an excellent resale value and high-quality materials. It is easy to use and our Lab experts love the fact that it folds with only one hand, and without a complicated latching mechanism.
Design
When looking for a budget double pushchair, there are many things to consider, such as size, style, and features. The most important thing to think about is whether the product is suited to your family’s requirements. There are two main kinds of doubles: side-by-side and inline (one seat located directly behind the other). Each type has its own pros and cons.
The side-by-side model has two seats that are fixed. It is best for siblings or twins who are of the same age, but it can also be used by one child. They are larger than single-seat buggies and navigate tight spaces, kerbs, and doorways with ease. In addition, they have limited storage space, and are often heavy to push on uneven terrain.
Inline models have a seat on top of the other and are suitable for older toddlers or children. They can be used with just an infant car seat, and they may come with a bigger basket than side by side models. However, they rarely offer the same number of features as other light strollers, including a cup holder for each child as well as an independent sunshade.
The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is an inline double buggy that is full-size with a variety of seating options that can accommodate two infant car seats or toddler seats. It can be fitted with two bassinet seats, or transformed into triple. This makes it a great choice for families that are growing. In our Lab tests the model was simple to drive and folded in a compact manner, and has a clever ‘one-click’ system that doesn’t require removing the seats. It has a large undercarriage basket, and is compatible with the majority of car seats.
The egg2 is a popular choice for parents. Its sleek design and small dimensions make it perfect for city streets. It can be used as a single child as well as a double stroller suitable for twins, babies/toddlers of different ages or a triple stroller by adding UPPAbaby’s ‘PiggyBack’ board (available separately). The double-to-triple pushchair is not as light as others, but it has great durability and a huge shopping basket.
Comfort
The most affordable double pushchairs are designed with the comfort of parents and children in mind. The best double pushchairs have both parents and children in mind. They have adjustable seat heights and reclining positions, so you can decide if your child is lying down or sitting up and they’ll both be able see the world. Some models also come with an ample shopping basket as well as rear suspensions for a smoother ride over bumps and uneven surfaces.
A popular option for families with twins is the egg2 from long-standing award winner, Cybex. It’s a sleek single-to-double pram that can be used with two infant car seats, baby carriers and toddler seats at the same time. This makes it able to be used by a variety of families.
It’s heavier than some of our other budget models, however it has a big shopping basket. The front and rear suspensions make it easy to push in all kinds of terrain. Our testers liked the padded seat liner as well as the fleecy footmuffs that come with it too, although they’re an option priced at PS24 each.
We also love that it has a clever one-hand fold which is perfect for those who have both hands full of little children. One of our testers said it takes some time to master, but it’s actually quite simple and much more user-friendly than the other double buggies she’s tested.
The egg2 is also a favorite due to its huge sun canopy, which covers both child seats, and the handy footmuff that your baby or toddler can use. It also has a large UPF 50+ hood with an open window that you can peek through which our test participants consider to be good in size and can be extended to provide real shade.
The Roma Gemini is a great option if you want a side by side that can also be used as a single to double buggy stroller. It also has a reversible carrying cot. It has a clever system to connect and remove the cots to convert the pushchair into a twin pram which our testers appreciated. They loved the smart one-handed fold that takes a second or two and the way that the front seat reclines to lay flat for infants.
Storage
Some double pushchairs are equipped with additional storage, such as bins or boxes, which can be put under the seat. Some double pushchairs include an enormous basket that can be reached easily between the seats. The Cybex Geo 3 offers a staggering 23kg in single mode, and a huge undercarriage basket for use as double. It also comes with a handy, easy-to use standing fold that our Lab expert really enjoyed. It can be activated by using just one hand.
Another option that is stylish is the egg2 pushchair, loved by its sleek design and compact dimensions, but that can grow to accommodate twins, or even a baby and toddler with the addition of its “PiggyBack” board (available separately). It can even accommodate three kids if you add two cocoons. It may not have the fancy folding design that you find in some competitors however, our experts were impressed by its easy opening that requires lifting the latch.
