Buying a twin pushchair from birth; click through the next document,
The stylish and sleek pushchair expands to a twin in just one click. In twin mode the frame is shorter, but it still has room for a basket next to each seat or carrycot. It can also take two car seats or carrycots based on the age of your children.
The Venus also comes with a newborn baby cocoon to create a flat, comfortable environment and parent or world-facing options for infants. UPPAbaby have even rejigged the design to allow you attach two cocoons side by side.
Easy to Manoeuvre
A twin pushchair is one of the most commonly used baby products, after the car seat. It will be the baby's place of residence for a long period of time, so it’s important to make it easy to maneuver. The Roma Gemini was a favorite of our home testers because it's lightweight double stroller it folds down small and has a great steering. It also comes with plenty of accessories that rival brands don't sell separately, like a fleecey padded seat liner.
Silver Cross Wave is a excellent choice for twins or siblings of various ages, as it can be used with two car seats or carrycots (it can be used in mono mode). The clever frame expands in size when you need a double buggy seat but maintains one footprint when you're in mono mode which makes it easier to navigate narrow passageways.
Our test subjects loved the design of this pushchair and its numerous extras. But it was also user-friendly. It's got a clever, single-click to fold and it's compatible with all car seats, so you can just pop them in and go. It's a little long when it's in double mode, but you can buy a'sidepack' for PS45 to make it more compact.
Convenient storage
A twin pushchair with storage space that is easy to access and convenient can help you stay organized for more than one child. Pick a model that comes with an ample basket underneath the seat to keep all the additional accessories like baby changing mats and nappy bag. It's also a great idea to include the cup and snack tray to the holder, so that you aren't bending over behind your child to grab drinks or snacks when they are hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs, which have one seat ahead of the other, are perfect for children of different ages but may be a little more difficult to maneuver through small spaces than side-by-side models. The CYBEX Gazelle S or Silver Cross Wave are the top tandem alternatives for twins. However, the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers an affordable alternative and can accommodate two infant car seats bassinets or carriers.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an incredible twin stroller that is available from birth and works with two infant car seats or carrycots that double as carrycots (you could also include the UPPAbaby piggyBack board to make it suitable for three kids). In single-seat mode, it comes with plenty of storage space, as well as a large under-seat storage basket that's large enough to fit bags of shopping. It comes with a large canopy that provides exceptional protection from the rain or sun, and it's also easy to check on your baby by using the clever peekaboo-hoods.
Baby is a comfortable fit for both
The best twin pushchairs from birth are designed to ensure both children are comfortable while strolling. Look for adjustable calf bars, padded seats and recline features. These features allow your child to relax and stretch out or stand straight to observe their surroundings.
It's also worth considering a twin pram that has a single handlebar to make it easier to steer with one hand. This will allow you to navigate busy shopping streets and negotiate tight turns. Some double buggies have two handlebars. However, these aren't always easy to control and could require you to use both hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs are able to accommodate various combinations of carrycots and infant car seats, which means you can adapt them as your babies develop. The Peach 7 is a great option for siblings with different age ranges, as it comes with two seats that are suitable from birth, and a carrycot with the parent facing.
Other alternatives include the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be used with twins or a toddler and baby or even three children by affixing the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board. It is easy to use and folds up easily.
Tandem buggies are an excellent option for twins. They offer an appearance that is more sleek than side-by-side models. One seat is padded and reclines to a full-angle for babies, while the other is more upright and appropriate for toddlers. Some can be made into one stroller by removing the seat in the front. Some aren't easy to fit on public transport, and may not be as stable when traveling up and down kerbs as a single-pushchair.
Certain models can fold down smaller than others, which can be beneficial if you're strapped in storage space at home. The egg2 is a stylish choice that can be used as a single or double stroller with infant car seat and has a wide range of infant car seats, so you can adapt to your twins' needs as they get bigger. It comes in a variety colours and has an attractive contemporary style.
Easy to clean
Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your twin pushchair in great condition for years to come. This will help prevent issues such as fabric stains, odours and mould growth. It will also extend the life of your pushchair.
Start by vacuuming your pushchair with a nozzle attachment that is flexible to get rid of crumbs, dirt, and grime from all surfaces. This will allow you to access all crevices, seams and fabric components such as the seat canopy and the basket.
After vacuuming, take off the seat covers, pads, and liners and wash them on a gentle cycle using gentle detergent for infants. To avoid water damage and corrosion make sure that all components are completely dry prior to reassembling.
Non-fabric components, for example the hinges, wheels, and folding components of your twin pushchair must be cleaned regularly using an uncluttered cloth to eliminate any sticky residues or hardened smells. If necessary an lubricant based on silicone should be used as recommended by the manufacturer to ensure smooth and consistent movement of all components. Checking your twin pushchair regularly can help you recognize any signs of wear, which will allow you to repair them as soon as possible.
