When selecting a budget double pushchair, it is essential to look at its dimensions and folding capabilities. Many models can be folded into a compact size making them easy to store. Some models are heavy and require a larger space to store them. It is also important to think about the weight and suspension of the pushchair, as this can affect its performance on uneven surfaces and kerbs.
They can be harder to fit through narrow hallways and doors because they are wider. They can make it easier to climb up and down kerbs.
Some models are suitable for twins since they can be used in conjunction with two car seats, a baby carrier and even stroller. Certain models, such as the Uppababy Vista V2 Double are capable of being used with both infant car seats and toddler seats. They also feature the option of a bassinet, which is perfect for babies.

Design
When looking for a budget double pushchair, there are many aspects to take into consideration, including size, style, cost and features. The most important consideration is whether or not the product will fit your family's needs. 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 pros and.
Side-by-side models offer two fixed seats and are best suited to twins or siblings of similar age, though they can be used with one child. They are generally bigger than single-seat buggies making them easier to maneuver tight spaces and kerbs however, they can be difficult to navigate through doorways. They also may have limited storage space and be difficult to push over uneven terrain.
Inline models have one seat that is between the two and are best suited to older toddlers or older children. They can be used with a single infant car seat and could come with a larger basket than side-by-side models. Inline products are not as loaded with features as other strollers. For example, they do not have a sunshade or cup holder for every child.
The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is a full-size double inline buggy with flexible seating options that can accommodate two infant car seats or toddler seats. It can be outfitted with two bassinet seats or transformed 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 in a compact manner, and has a clever "one-click" system that doesn't require the removal of seats. It comes with a huge undercarriage basket, and is compatible with the majority of car seats.
The egg2 is a popular choice for parents. Its sleek design and compact dimensions make it ideal for city streets. It can be used as a single child as well as a double stroller suitable for twins, toddlers and babies of different ages, or a triple stroller by adding the UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack" board (available separately). This pushchair converts from a double to a triple not quite as light as others however it is a great choice with excellent durability and a large shopping basket.
Comfort
The best double pushchairs for cheap are designed to be comfortable for both parents and babies. They come with a comfortable seat height and reclining options, so you can decide whether your child sits up or lies down and they'll both have a view of the world. Some models come with a large shopping basket, while others come with rear suspension to make it easier to ride on bumps or uneven surfaces.
A popular choice for families with twins is the egg2 model from long-running award winner, Cybex. It's a chic single-to- double stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats or baby carriers, and toddler seats. This gives it the flexibility to be used by a diverse variety of families.
It's heavier than some of our other budget models, however it comes with a huge shopping basket. The front and rear suspension makes it easy to push across all types of terrain. Our testers liked the padded seat liner and the fleecy footmuffs that come with it, but they're an extra cost at PS24 each.
We also love that it has an innovative one-hand fold, which is perfect for those who have both hands full with small ones. One of our test subjects said it takes a bit of practice but it's surprisingly easy and a lot simpler than some of the other double buggies she's used.
Other features that make the egg2 a favourite include a huge sun canopy that covers both child seats and a useful footstrap for your baby or toddler. The egg2 also has a large UPF 50+ hood with an open view. Our test subjects found it to be a decent size and could be extended to provide shade.
If you're looking for a side-by-side that can function as a single pushchair and has the added bonus of a carrycot that can be reversible, we recommend the Roma Gemini. It features a clever system where you attach and take off the cots in order to convert the pushchair into a twin-sized pram, which our testers loved. They loved the smart one-handed fold that takes a second or two and the way that the front seat reclines so that it is flat for infants.
Stores
Some double pushchairs come with additional storage, such as bins or boxes, which can be positioned under either seat. Others offer a large shopping basket that can be placed between the seats for easier access. The Cybex Geo 3 offers a staggering 23kg in single mode, and a massive undercarriage basket if used as a double. It also has a practical, easy-to use standing fold that our Lab expert really liked. You can turn it on with 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 by adding a 'PiggyBack' board (available separately). If you add two cocoons, it can accommodate three children. It doesn't have the fancy standing fold that you find in some rivals however, our lab experts were impressed with its simple opening process that only requires lifting a latch.
