Buying a twin pushchair from birth [by Militarymuster]
A stylish and sleek pushchair that can expand into a twin in one click. In twin mode the frame is smaller, but still allows for a basket in front of each seat or carrycot. It can also take two car seats or carrycots based on the age of your children.
The Venus comes with a baby Cocoon that creates a lying-flat and open environment for infants. The UPPAbaby brand has also redesigned the design to let you attach two cocoons side by side.
Easy to Manoeuvre
One of the most frequently used baby products after the car seat, a twin pushchair will be the baby's mainstay for quite a while, so it's essential that it's easy to move. Our home testers loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's lightweight, folds up small and has superb steering. It comes with a variety of extras, and rival brands charge separately.
The Silver Cross Wave is another great option for twins or siblings of different ages as it's designed to take two seats and car seats (it is also able to be used with two carrycots in mono mode). The clever frame expands in width when you're required to use the double seat, but maintains a single footprint in mono mode, which makes it more maneuverable through narrow passageways rather than side-byside buggies.
Aside from the fact that it looks great and has plenty of extras we tested, this pushchair really stood out due to its user-friendliness. It's a smart folding mechanism that can be folded with a single click. it's compatible with all car seats, so you can just pop them in and go. It's a little long when in double mode but you can purchase a "sidepack" for PS45 to make it smaller.
Convenient storage
A twin pushchair with a storage area that is easily accessible and easy to access will allow you to stay organized when you have more than one child. Select a model with a large basket under the seat to store all the additional accessories like baby changing mats and nappy bag. A handy cup holder and snack tray are also an excellent option, since it helps you avoid reaching behind your children to grab drinks and snacks when they feel hungry or thirsty.
Tandem twin pushchairs that have one seat ahead of the other, are ideal for siblings of varying ages but may be a bit more difficult to maneuver through small spaces than side-by-side models. The CYBEX Gazelle S and Silver Cross Wave are the top tandem options for twins, while the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is more budget-friendly and can take two infant car seats or bassinets in double buggy from birth mode.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 stroller is a twin stroller that is able to be used from birth. It can be used with two infant car seat or carrycots and in double mode. You can add the UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board to allow it to be used by three children. It has a lot of storage space when used in single-seat mode. It also has a huge under-seat basket big enough to hold a huge shopping cart. It comes with a massive canopy to provide exceptional protection from the sun or rain, and it's also easy to check on your baby by using the clever peekaboo-hoods.
Comfortable for both babies
The best twin pushchairs from birth will be designed to keep both children comfortable during strolls. Find adjustable calf bars, padded seats and recline features. These will give your child the opportunity to relax and stretch out or sit straight and observe their surroundings.
You should also consider twin strollers that have one handlebar, which makes it easier to steer the stroller with one second hand double buggy. This will allow you to navigate through busy shopping streets or make tight turns. double infant strollers buggies may have two handlebars, but this can be harder to control and could require you to use both hands for pushing.
Some twin pushchairs can be used with different combinations of infant car seats and carrycots. This means you can modify the stroller as your baby grows. For example the Peach 7 offers two world-facing seats that can be used for babies from birth, a cozy parent-facing carrycot, and a toddler seat - making it a great option for siblings of different age.
The UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board can be connected to the UPPAbaby vista 2 for use with twins, toddlers and a baby or even three children. It features a slim frame that makes it easy to use in double car seat stroller mode, and it can be folded compactly for transport.
Tandem buggies offer a more streamlined look than side-by-side models and are a great choice for twins. One seat is cushioned and reclines to a full angle for newborns, while the other is more upright and suitable for toddlers. Some of them can be converted to a single pushchair simply by removing the front seat. Some aren't able to be slid onto public transport, and may not be as stable going between kerbs like a single-pushchair.
Some models can be folded into smaller sizes than others. This is important for those whose storage space is restricted. The egg2 is a chic choice that can be used as a thule double stroller or single and has a wide range of carrycots and infant car seat configurations so you can modify to your twins' needs as they grow. It's also available in a variety of colours and has a modern and stylish design.
Easy to clean
Regular cleaning and maintenance will keep your stroller in top condition for years to come. This will help prevent issues like staining, odours, and mould growth and also extend its life.
Start by vacuuming the pushchair to remove dirt and grime, as well as crumbs and crumbs in all areas, using a flexible nozzle attachment. This will help get into all the crevices and seams of the fabric parts, including the canopy, seat and basket.
After the vacuuming has been completed, follow the manufacturer's guidelines for removing fabric seat coverings pads, liners and pads from the frame of the chassis and cleaning them on a gentle cycle using mild detergent that is suitable for infants. To prevent water damage and corrosion make sure that all components are completely dried before rebuilding.
Non-fabric parts, like the hinges, wheels and folding components of your twin pushchair should be cleaned regularly using a clean cloth to get rid of any sticky messes or hardened odours. If necessary, use silicone-based grease according to the recommendations by the manufacture to ensure smooth and consistent movement of all components. Regular checks of your twin pushchair will reveal any signs of wear and tear, and allow you to fix these promptly to minimize the chance of future problems.
