This is an ideal double pushchair for those looking for a model that is cheap and offers great value. It can be used as a side-by-side or tandem pram. It has been designed to stop sibling rivalries by allowing children to face each other or separate from each other.

Cost
A quality double pushchair can cost hundreds of pounds. If you purchase one that is designed to last, it will be worth the cost. Investing in a quality brand will also ensure that your buggy will keep its resale value, and also provides a good level of comfort to both children and parents.
When selecting a budget double pushchair, it is important to check its dimensions and foldability. Many models fold down into a compact size, making them easier to store. However, some can be quite heavy and will require a bigger storage space. Take into consideration the weight of the pushchair and its suspension, as these could impact the performance on uneven surfaces or kerbs.
Side-by-side buggies tend to be wider than single buggies, which means they can be more difficult to fit in narrow doors and hallways. However, they can make it easier to get up and down kerbs.
Some models can be used with two car seats and a baby carrier making them a great option for twins. Certain models, such as the Uppababy Vista V2 Double are flexible enough to work with both infant car seat and toddler seats. They also come with the option of a bassinet, which is perfect for babies.

A great option for growing families, the UPPAbaby Vista 2 is a multi-purpose stroller that can be used with two infant car seats as well as a running board for older kids.

Design
When looking for a budget double pushchair, there are a variety of aspects to take into consideration, including size, style, cost and features. The most important thing to think about is whether the product is suitable for your family's requirements. There are two kinds of double-seaters: side-by-side (one seat is directly behind the other) and inline. Each has pros and pros and.
The side-by-side by side double stroller model has two seats that are fixed. It is suitable for twins or siblings who are of the same age, but it can also be used by a single child. They are usually wider than single-seat buggies, making them easier to maneuver through tight spaces and kerbs, but can be difficult to steer through doorways. They might also have a limited storage capacity and are difficult to push over uneven terrain.
Inline models are designed with one seat in front of another and are best suited for older toddlers or older children. They can often be used with a single infant car seat, and can have a larger basket than side-by-side models. However, they rarely have the same amount of features that other lightweight double pushchair strollers, including a cup holder for each child, and an independent sunshade.
The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is a full-size double inline buggy with a variety of seating options that can take two infant car seats or toddler seats. It can be equipped with two bassinets or converted into a triple. This makes it an excellent option for families with growing needs. This model was easy to fold and drive in our Lab tests. It also had a 'one-click system' that did not require the seats be removed. It has a large undercarriage basket, and is compatible with the majority of car seats.
The stylish egg2 is a cherished favorite of parents, with an elegant frame and a compact size that's ideal for busy city streets. It can be used for a single child as well as a double stroller suitable for twins, babies/toddlers of different ages, or as a triple stroller when you add the UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack' board (available separately). The double-to-triple pushchair is not as light as other pushchairs, but it has great durability and a huge shopping basket.
Comfort
The best cheap double pushchairs are designed with the comfort of parents and babies in mind. They offer good seat heights and reclining options, so you can choose which of your children is lying down or sitting up and both will have a view of the world. Some models also come with large shopping baskets and 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 stylish single-to-double to single buggy stroller that is able to accommodate two infant car seats or baby carriers, as well as toddler chairs. This gives it the flexibility to be used by a broad range of families.
It's heavier than some of our other budget models, however it has a large shopping basket. The front and rear suspension makes it easy to push in all types of terrain. Our test subjects liked the cushioned seat liner and fleecy footmuffs that come as standard, though they're an extra cost priced at PS24 each.
We also love that it has a smart one-hand fold, which is perfect for when you've got both hands full with little children. It requires some time to master, but one of our testers said that it is really simple and much easier than other small double stroller buggies.
The egg2 is also a popular choice due to its large sun canopy, which covers both child seats, and also the handy footmuff your toddler or baby could use. The egg2 also comes with a large UPF 50+ hood that features the ability to peek inside. Our test subjects found it to be a decent size, and could be extended to provide shade.
If you're looking to buy a side-by-side that can also be used as a single buggy and comes with the added benefit of a reversible carrycot, we recommend the Roma Gemini. Our test subjects loved the innovative system that lets you attach and take away cots to transform the pushchair from a single pram into twin-pram. The clever, one-handed folding that takes only minutes and the fact that the front seat reclines for infants were also praised by our testers.
Storage
Some cheap double stroller for twins pushchairs have storage in the form of bins or boxes that can be placed underneath the seat. Some double pushchairs have an enormous basket that can be accessed easily between the seats. The Cybex Geo 3 is an example of the former offering a staggering 23kg of space in single mode, and a spacious undercarriage basket when it is used as a double. It also features a handy folding stand that our Lab experts really liked and can be activated with one hand.
The egg2 pushchair is a fashionable alternative. Its sleek frame and compact size are adored by a lot of people, but it can be modified to accommodate twins, or a toddler and a baby by adding the 'PiggyBack Board' (available separately). With two cocoons, it can accommodate three children. It doesn't come with the fancy standing fold that you find in some competitors but our lab specialists were impressed with its simple opening process that only requires lifting the latch.
