Cheap Double Pushchair
This is an ideal double pushchair if you are looking for one that is cheap and offers excellent value. It can be used as a tandem or tandem pram. It's been designed to prevent sibling squabbles, by allowing children to sit side-by-side or separate from one another.

Cost
A good-quality double pushchair can cost hundreds of pounds. If you purchase one that is designed to last, it'll be worth the money. Investing in a quality brand will also help ensure that your buggy maintains its resale value as well as offering the best level of comfort for both children and parents.
When selecting a budget double pushchair, it is essential to look at its dimensions and folding capabilities. Many models fold down to a smaller size, making it easy to store. Some models are heavy, requiring a larger space for storage. It is also important to consider the weight and suspension of the pushchair as it can impact its performance on uneven surfaces and kerbs.
They are more difficult to fit through narrow hallways and doors because they are broader. However they can make it easier to climb up and down kerbs.
Certain models can be used with two car seats and a baby carrier, making them an excellent choice for twins. Other models, like the Uppababy Vista V2 Double, can be used with both infant car seats as well as toddler seats. They also feature an option for a bassinet that is ideal for infants.

Design
When looking for a budget double pushchair, there are a variety of factors to consider, including size, style, and features. The most important factor to consider is whether or not the product will fit your family's needs. There are two types of doubles, inline and side-by-side (one seat located directly behind the other). Each has its own pros and cons.
Side-by-side models come with two fixed seats and are best suited to twins or siblings of a similar age, but they can also be used with one child. They are wider than single-seat buggies, and are able to navigate through narrow spaces, kerbs and doors with ease. In addition, they may have limited storage space, and are often heavy to push on uneven terrain.
Inline models feature seats on top of the other and are suitable for older toddlers or children. They can be used with just one infant car seat and could have a larger basket than side-by-side models. Inline products are not as feature-rich as other lightweight strollers. For example, they do not have the sunshade or cup holder for each child.
The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is a large double-inline buggy with seating options that can take two infant car seats or toddler seats. It can be fitted with two bassinet seats, or converted into a triple. This makes it a great choice for families with growing needs. In our Lab tests it was easy to drive and folded compactly, with a smart 'one-click' system that doesn't require removal of seats. It also has a spacious undercarriage basket and is compatible with all the popular car seats.
The stylish egg2 is a cherished favorite of parents, featuring a sleek frame and compact size that's ideal for urban streets that are crowded. It can be used as a single, a double for twins or babies/toddlers with different ages, or a triple with the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack board (available separately). The double-to-triple pushchair is not quite as light as other pushchairs however it is a great choice with excellent durability and a large shopping basket.
Comfort
The most affordable double pushchairs are designed with the comfort of both parents and babies in mind. They have a good height for the seat and reclining options so that you can decide whether your child can lie down or sits up and both will enjoy a view of the world. Some models also feature an ample shopping basket as well as rear suspension for an easier ride over bumps and uneven surfaces.
A popular choice for families with twins is the egg2 from long-running award winner, Cybex. It's a sleek single-to-double pram that can take two infant car seats as well as baby carriers and toddler seats - all simultaneously. This makes it able to be used by many different families.
It's heavier than many of our other budget models, however it has a great sized shopping basket as well as front and rear suspensions that make it easy to push on any terrain. Our testers loved the padded seat liner and the fleecy footmuff that comes with it, but they're an extra cost at PS24 each.
It also has an innovative one-hand folding system, which is great for when you're holding two hands full of children. One of our testers said it takes some practice but it's really simple and much more user-friendly than some of the other double buggies she's tested.
Other features that make the egg2 an absolute favorite include a huge sun canopy that covers both child seats as well as an excellent footstrap for your baby or toddler. It also has a large UPF 50+ hood, with an open window that you can peek through that our test subjects think is good in size and can be extended to give real shade.
The Roma Gemini is a great option if you want a side by side that can also function as a single stroller and features a reversible cot for carrying. Our test subjects loved the innovative system that lets you attach and take away cots to convert the pushchair an individual pram to a twin-pram. They loved the simple one-handed fold that takes a few seconds and the way the front seat reclines so that it is flat for newborns.
Storage
Some double pushchairs are fitted with storage space like bins or boxes that can be put under the seat. Some double pushchairs come with an enormous basket that can be accessed easily between the seats. The Cybex Geo 3 offers a astonishing 23kg in single mode, and a huge undercarriage basket when used as a double. It also has a practical, easy-to use standing fold that our Lab expert really enjoyed. It can be activated with one hand.
Another fashionable option is the egg2 pushchair, loved for its sleek design and compact dimensions, but that can be expanded to accommodate twins, or even a baby and toddler by adding a 'PiggyBack' board (available separately). Add two cocoons and it can accommodate three children. It may not have the fancy folding design that you find in some other models however, our experts were impressed by its easy opening that only requires lifting a latch.
