Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth
The sleek and stylish pushchair can be converted to a twin in just one click. When it's twin, the frame is a bit smaller, but offers enough space for a shopping basket alongside each seat/carrycot, or it can take two car seats or carrycots to accommodate siblings of various age.
The Venus also includes a newborn cocoon to create a flat, comfortable environment, and a parent or the world-facing option for infants. UPPAbaby have even rejigged the design to let you attach two cocoons together.
Easy to Manoeuvre
One of the most commonly used baby products is the car seat A twin pushchair will be the baby's mainstay for a long time, so it's crucial that it's easy to manoeuvre. Our test subjects loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's lightweight, folds up compactly and has a great steering. It also comes with plenty of extras that rival brands don't sell separately, like an upholstered seat liner that is fleecey.
The Silver Cross Wave is another excellent choice for twins or siblings with different ages since it's designed to accommodate two seats and car seats (it can even be used with two carrycots in mono mode). The clever frame expands in width when you need to use the double buggy with carrycot seat, but maintains a single footprint in mono mode, making it more maneuverable through narrow passageways than side-by-side buggies.
Our testers were impressed by the style of this pushchair as well as its numerous extras. But it was also simple to use. It's easy to fold in a single click and compatible with most car seat models. It's a bit big in double mode, however you can buy a "sidepack" to make it smaller for PS45.
Convenient storage
If you have more than one child A twin pushchair from birth with a practical and easily accessible storage space will help you keep things organised. Pick a model that has an enormous basket under to store all the additional accessories, such as baby changing mats rain covers, nappy bags and baby changing bags. A convenient cup holder and snack tray is also an excellent addition, as it will help you reach behind your children for an ice-cold drink or snack when they get thirsty or hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs, with one seat ahead of the other, are great for children of different age groups, but can be a bit more difficult to maneuver in tight spaces than side-byside models. The CYBEX Gazelle S and Silver Cross Wave are the top tandem options for twins, while the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is more affordable and can accommodate two infant car seats or bassinets in smallest double buggy mode.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an amazing twin stroller from birth. It can be used with two infant car seats or carrycots in double stroller-mode (you can even add the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board to make it suitable for three kids). It has a lot of storage space when used in single-seat mode. There's also an under-seat storage basket that's big enough to accommodate a huge shopping cart. It comes with a large canopy to provide exceptional protection from the sun or rain, and it's also easy to check on your babies by using the clever peekaboo hoods.
Comfortable for both babies
The most effective twin pushchairs are designed to keep both children entertained and comfortable on their strolls. Be sure to look for padded seats recline features, recline features, and adjustable calf bars. These features will allow your child to stretch and relax or stand straight to observe their surroundings.
It is also recommended to look for twin prams with one handlebar, which makes it easier to steer the stroller one-handed. This will allow you to navigate through busy shopping streets or make tight turns. Double buggies may have two handlebars, however these aren't always easy to control and may require that you use both hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs can accommodate different combinations of infant car seats and carrycots so you can modify the stroller as your child grows. The Peach 7 is a great option for siblings of different age ranges, as it comes with two seats that are suitable for babies from birth. It also has an infant carrycot that faces the parent.
The UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board can be attached to the UPPAbaby vista 2 for use with twins, toddlers and a baby or even three children. It is simple to use and folds up easily.
Tandem buggies are an excellent option for twins and offer a more streamlined appearance than side-by-side models. One seat is cushioned and can recline to a full angle for infants while the other is more upright and suitable for toddlers. Some can be converted back to a single pushchair by removing the front seat. They can be tricky to attach to public transport and might not be as sturdy as a single pushchair when travelling between kerbs.
Certain models can fold down smaller than others. This is essential for those whose storage space is small. Egg2 is a beautiful option that can be used for one or two people. It also has various carrycots and infant car seats, so you can adjust it as your twins get bigger. It comes in a variety colors and features a stylish contemporary design.
