Design
There are a lot of factors to take into consideration when buying a double pushchair for affordable prices, including the dimensions, style, price and features. The most important thing to consider is whether or whether the product is suitable for the needs of your family. There are two kinds of double furniture: side-byside (one seat is directly behind the other) and inline. Each has its own pros and pros and.
The side-by-side model comes with two seats that are fixed. It is ideal for twins or siblings who are the same age, but it can also be used by a single child. They are larger than single-seat buggies and can navigate tight spaces, kerbs and doorways easier. They may also have a limited storage capacity and are difficult to push over uneven terrain.
Inline models have a seat in front of the other and are ideally suited for older toddlers or children. They can often be used with just one infant car seat and could feature a bigger basket than side-by-side models. Inline strollers aren’t as loaded with features as other strollers double strollers. For example, they do not have a cup holder or sunshade for every child.
The Evenflo Pivot Xpand double infant strollers is an inline double buggy that is full-size with a variety of seating options that can fit two infant car seats or toddler seats. It can also accommodate two seats that function as bassinets or convert into a triple, making it a great option for growing families. It was easy to fold and drive during our Lab tests. It also has an ‘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 egg2 is a very popular choice for parents. Its sleek design and small dimensions make it perfect for city streets. It can be used as an individual child, a double infant strollers stroller for twins, babies/toddlers of different ages or a triple stroller by adding the UPPAbaby’s “PiggyBack” board (available separately). This double-to-triple pushchair is not as light as some others but does have excellent longevity and comes with a large shopping basket for the price.
Comfort
The best cheap double pushchairs are designed with the comfort of both parents and babies in mind. They offer good seat heights and reclining options, so you can decide whether your child is lying down or sitting up and they’ll both enjoy a view of the world. Some models also have a spacious shopping basket and rear suspensions for a smoother ride over bumps and uneven surfaces.
A popular choice for families with twins is the egg2 model from long-running award winner, Cybex. It’s a stylish single-to double pram that can take two infant car seats as well as baby carriers, toddler and infant seats – all simultaneously. This gives it the flexibility to be used by a diverse 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 across all terrains. Our testers liked the padded seat liner and the fleecy footmuffs that come as standard, though they’re an optional extra at PS24 each.
We also love that it has a clever one-hand fold which is ideal for when you’ve got both hands full with little children. It can take some time to master, but one of our testers said that it’s really easy and much more user-friendly than other lightest double stroller buggies.
The egg2 is a favorite due to its large sun canopy, which covers both child seats, and the handy footmuff that your toddler or baby could use. 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 provide real shade.
If you’re looking for a side-by-side that can also be used as a single pushchair and offers the added benefit of a reversible carrycot, 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. The innovative, one-handed folding that takes only two seconds, and the fact that the front seat reclines for infants were also praised by our testers.
Storage
Some cheap double pushchairs have storage in the form of bins or boxes that fit under the seats. Others offer a large shopping basket that sits between the seats to make it easier for access. The Cybex Geo 3 offers a astonishing 23kg in single mode, and a huge undercarriage basket if used as double. It also has a convenient folding stand that our Lab experts really liked and can be activated with one hand.
Another stylish option is the egg2 pushchair, loved for its sleek design and compact dimensions, but that can grow to accommodate twins or toddlers by adding a ‘PiggyBack’ board (available separately). If you add two cocoons, it can carry three children. It doesn’t come with the fancy standing fold you see in some competitors, but our lab experts were impressed by its simple opening procedure that requires only lifting a latch.
