When selecting a budget double pushchair, it's important to check its dimensions and folding capabilities. Many models fold down to a smaller size, making it easier to store. However, some models are very bulky and require a bigger storage space. Think about the weight of the pushchair and its suspension, as these can impact the performance on uneven surfaces or kerbs.
Side-by-side buggies are typically wider than single buggys, so they are more difficult to fit into narrow hallways and doors. They can help climb over and down the kerbs.
Certain models can be used with two car seats and a baby carrier which makes them a great choice for twins. Certain models, such as the Uppababy Vista V2 Double are versatile enough to be used with both infant car seats and toddler seats. They also include a bassinet which is perfect for newborns.

Design
When shopping for a cheap double pushchair, there are numerous aspects to take into consideration, including size, style, and features. The most important thing to think about is whether the product will suit your family's needs. There are two main types of doubles, side-by-side and inline (one seat that is 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 similar age, but they can be used by one child. They are usually bigger than single-seat buggies making them easier to maneuver through tight spaces and kerbs but can be difficult to navigate through doorways. In addition, they have limited storage space and are sometimes heavy to push over uneven terrain.
Inline models have seats in front of the other and are ideally suited for older toddlers or children. They can be used with just one infant car seat, and can come with a larger basket than side-by-side models. Inline products are not as loaded with features as other strollers. For instance, they do not have a cup holder or sunshade for every child.
The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is an inline double buggy that is full-size with seating options that can take two infant car seats or toddler seats. It can also accommodate two seats that can act as bassinets or can be converted into a triple - which makes it a good option for families growing. The model was simple to fold and use in our Lab tests. It also has a 'one-click system' that didn't require the seats to be removed. It also has a spacious undercarriage basket and is compatible with most popular 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 when you add UPPAbaby’s ‘PiggyBack’ board (available separately). This double-to triple pushchair is not quite as light as the others however it is a great choice with outstanding durability and a large shopping basket.
Comfort
The best double pushchairs for low prices are designed to be comfortable for both parents and babies. The best double pushchairs are made with both parents and children in mind. They have adjustable seat heights as well as reclining positions so that you can choose if your child is lying down or sitting, and both will be able to view the world. Some models also have large shopping baskets and rear suspensions for a smoother ride over bumps and uneven surfaces.
A popular option for families with twins is the egg2 model from the long-running award-winning Cybex. It's a stylish single-to double pram that can be used with two infant car seats as well as baby carriers, toddler and infant seats simultaneously. This makes it able to be used by multiple families.
It's heavier than our other budget models, however it comes with a huge shopping basket. The front and rear suspension makes it easy to push in all kinds of terrain. Our test subjects liked the cushioned seat liner and fleecy footmuff that come with it too, although they're an option priced at PS24 each.
We also love that it comes with a clever one-hand fold which is great for those who have both hands full with little children. It takes some practice to master, but one of our test subjects said that it is really simple and much more user-friendly than other double buggies.
Other features that make the egg2 an absolute favorite include a spacious sun canopy that covers both child seats and a handy footmuff for your infant or toddler. The egg2 also features an enormous UPF 50+ hood that has a peekaboo view. Our testers considered it to be a good size and could be extended to create shade.
The Roma Gemini is a great option if you want a side by side that can also function as a single stroller. It features a reversible cot for carrying. Our testers liked the clever system that allows you to attach and remove cots in order to transform the pushchair from an individual pram to twin-pram. They loved the smart one-handed fold that only takes a second or two and the way the front seat reclines so that it is flat for babies.
Storage
Some double pushchairs are fitted with storage space, such as bins or boxes that can be positioned under either seat. Some double pushchairs come with an enormous basket that can be accessed easily between the seats. The Cybex Geo 3 offers a staggering 23kg when used in single mode, and a huge undercarriage basket when used as a double. It also has a convenient folding stand that our Lab experts loved and that you can activate by using just one hand.
Another fashionable option is the egg2 pushchair, loved by its sleek design and small dimensions. However, it can be expanded to accommodate twins, or even a baby and toddler by adding a 'PiggyBack' board (available separately). It can even hold three kids if you include two cocoons. It does not have the fancy standing fold you see in some competitors however, our lab experts were impressed by its easy opening procedure that requires only lifting a latch.
