cheap double stroller buggy. It's lightweight, has a convenient shopping basket and can take two car seats for children, or one baby seat and an infant seat.

It's not as big or luxurious as other high-end doubles, but it's still an excellent value.
Safety
Make sure that the double buggy meets all safety standards before purchasing it. This includes safety straps, the way that the seats can be adjusted as your children grow and if they come with various reclining positions that are appropriate for their age. Look for a large storage basket, pockets and any extras you might find useful like sunshades and rain covers.
If you're planning to be using the buggy mostly around town or on public transport, ensure whether it is light and easy to maneuver. Also, consider how much it weighs fully loaded and if it can be folded easily to fit into your car boot. If you drive the buggy a lot in small towns or villages ensure that the wheels have plenty of grip and that it can negotiate narrow pavements and doors.
