A great option if you want to keep costs down is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which is an amazing value for money at less than $1000 and can accommodate twins with one baby and one toddler or three kids (with a 'PiggyBack' board that you can purchase separately). It's the slimmest side-by-side on the market, and comes with the same footprint as a single pushchair. This means it's easy to navigate the doorways, shopping aisles and public transport.

The seat and the carrycot are side-by-side seating, meaning that your kids can see each other and you'll be able to keep an eye on them, so there's less chance of mistaking them. It's also the thinnest on the market. This means it will pass through most doors and can be maneuvered around corners with ease. It is heavy and long to push in double mode, and it isn't as efficient as some of the other best double buggies in rough or uneven terrain.
This is a great mid-priced option, and our top-rated double buggy. It is lightweight, has an integrated shopping basket and can fit two car seats for children, or one toddler and one baby.

It folds down into a compact, self-standing shape and has a convenient carry strap that allows for easy schlepping. It's not quite as spacious or as high-end as other top-quality doubles, but it's still an excellent value.
When you purchase a double buggy, you should check that it meets all important safety standards. The safety straps as well as the way in which the seats adjust to the growth of your child are important. Also, check if the seats have different recline positions for different ages. Look for large storage baskets as well as pockets and other accessories you may find useful, such as sunshades and rain covers.
If you plan to use the buggy mostly in the city or on public transportation, make sure it's lightweight and easy to move. Also, think about the weight of the buggy when fully loaded and whether it is easy to fold up and fit into the car boot. If you plan to use the buggy in small villages or towns, be sure that the wheels are well-gripped and are able to traverse narrow roads and doorways.
