Budget
A good double buggy can be an absolute lifesaver when you have two children in tow and shouldn't break the bank. It is important to consider car seats or carrycots in addition to the cost of the buggy itself, but even then there are plenty of options on the market that won't break the bank.

Safety
When you purchase a double buggy, you must ensure that it is in compliance with all the necessary safety standards. The safety straps and how the seats adjust to the growth of your child are crucial. Also, check if the seats are reclined in different positions for each age group. Also look for a spacious storage basket and pockets and whether there are other accessories that might be useful such as sunshades or rain covers.
If you are going to be using the buggy primarily in the city or on public transport, make sure that it is light and easy to maneuver. Also, think about how double pushchair weighs fully loaded and if it is easy to fold and fit in your car boot. If you plan to use the buggy in smaller villages or towns, be sure that the wheels well-gripped and are able to traverse narrow roads and doorways.
