It's not as big or high-quality as other best-value doubles but it's still an excellent value.
Safety
Verify that the double stroller meets all safety standards prior to purchasing it. The safety straps as well as the way in which the seats adjust to your child's growth are crucial. Also, check if the seats have different recline positions for each age group. Find large storage baskets as well as pockets and other accessories you might find useful like sunshades and rain covers.
If you plan to use the buggy mostly in towns or on public transport, make sure it's lightweight and easy to move. You should also consider the weight of the buggy once it's fully loaded, and whether it is able to be folded and placed in your car boot. If you plan to use the buggy in smaller towns and villages, make sure that the wheels are well-grip and that they can traverse narrow roads and doorways.
