Budget
A double-buggy can be an absolute lifesaver when you have two young kids in the car, and it isn't going to cost you a fortune. You'll have to take into account car seats or carrycots, as well as the cost of the buggy itself but there are some fantastic options available that won't cost a fortune.
An excellent option if you are looking to cut costs is the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which is an incredible value at under PS1,000 and can accommodate twins with one baby and one toddler or three children (with the 'PiggyBack' board, which you buy separately). It's the lightest tandem available. twin pushchair is identical to the footprint of one pushchair, which means it can easily be pushed through doorways and shopping aisles.

Safety
Check that the double buggy meets all safety standards prior to buying it. The safety straps as well as the way in which the seats adapt to your child's needs are important. Also, ensure that the seats have different recline positions for different ages. Look for a large storage basket along with pockets and other items you may find useful, such as sunshades and rain covers.
