Buying a twin pushchair from birth (try these guys)
The stylish and sleek pushchair can be expanded to twin in just one click. In twin mode the clever frame is narrower but still offers enough space for a basket of groceries alongside each seat/carrycot, or it can take two car seats or carrycots to suit siblings of varying age.
The Venus comes with a baby Cocoon that creates a lie-flat and world-facing environment for infants. The UPPAbaby brand has also redesigned the design to let you attach two cocoons together.
Easy to manoeuvre
One of the most used baby products is car seats A twin pushchair will be the baby's primary residence for a long time, so it's crucial that it's easy to move. Our home testers loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's light, folds tiny and has excellent steering. It comes with lots of extras, and other brands will charge separately.
Silver Cross Wave is a great option for twins and siblings of various ages, because it can be used with two car seats or carrycots (it can also be used in mono mode). The clever frame expands in width when you need a double seat but maintains one footprint when in mono mode which makes it easier to navigate narrow passageways.
Apart from the design that is stunning and has plenty of extras the test group found that this model stood out due to its simplicity of use. It folds easily in a single click and is compatible with the majority of car seat models. It's a bit big in double buggy with car seat mode, however you can buy a "sidepack" to reduce it for PS45.
Convenient storage
If you have more than one child and a twin pushchair for birth with a handy and easily accessible storage space will help you keep things organized. Choose a model that has a large storage basket under the seat to keep all the extra items like baby changing mats and nappy bag. A convenient cup holder and snack tray are also an excellent addition, as it will help you reach behind your children to grab an ice-cold drink or snack when they start to get thirsty or hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs with one seat in the front make great for siblings with different ages, but they are more difficult to maneuver through tight spaces. The CYBEX Gazelle S or Silver Cross Wave are the top tandem choices for twins. However, the Evenflo Pivot Xpand thule double stroller offers the most affordable option and can accommodate two infant car seats carriers or bassinets.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an amazing twin stroller double starting at birth. It can be used with two infant car seats or carrycots in double-mode (you could also add the UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board to make it suitable for three kids). It has a lot of storage space even in single-seat mode. It also has a huge under-seat basket that can hold a large shopping cart. It comes with a large canopy that provides exceptional protection from the sun or rain, and it's also easy to check on your babies with the clever peekaboo hoods.
Comfortable for both babies
The best twin pushchairs from birth are designed to ensure that both children are at ease during strolls. Look for calf bar adjustable with padded seats, as well as recline features. These features will allow your child to relax and stretch or stand straight to observe their environment.
It's also worth looking for twin prams with one handlebar to make it easier to steer the pram with one hand. This will allow you to navigate through busy shopping streets or make precise turns. Some double buggy side by side buggies have two handlebars, however these aren't always easy to control and may require you to use both hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs are able to accommodate various combinations of infant car seats so you can modify to your baby's needs as they grow. The Peach 7 is a great choice for siblings with varying ages, as it offers two seats that are suitable from birth and a carrycot facing the parent.
Other options include the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be used with twins, a baby and toddler or even three kids by attaching the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board. It is easy to use and folds compactly.
Tandem buggies are an excellent option for twins and offer an elegant appearance compared to side-by-side models. One seat is cushioned and reclines to a full-angle for newborns and the other is more upright and appropriate for toddlers. Some of them can be converted to a single pushchair by taking off the front seat. Some aren't able to be slid onto public transportation, and they might not be as stable when traveling between kerbs like a single-pushchair.
Some models are able to fold down smaller than others, which could be beneficial if you're strapped in storage space at home. The egg2 is a stylish choice that can be used for either a single or double seat stroller. It also has various carrycots and baby car seats so you can alter it as your twins grow bigger. It comes in a variety colours and has an attractive modern design.
Easy to clean
Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your twin pushchair in a excellent condition for the years to come. This will prevent issues such as staining, odours, and the growth of mould and extend its life.
Start by vacuuming the pushchair to get rid of dirt dust, crumbs and grime from all areas with a flexible nozzle attachment. This will allow you to get into all the crevices and seams of the fabric parts, including the canopy, seat and basket.
After vacuuming, take off the seat covers, pads, and liners and wash them in an easy cycle using mild detergent suitable for babies. Make sure all parts are dry before reassembly to prevent water damage or corrosion.
Non-fabric parts, like the wheels, hinges and the folding parts of your twin pushchair must be regularly cleaned with an uncluttered cloth to eliminate any sticky messes or clogged smells. If necessary an lubricant based on silicone should be used according to the recommendations of the manufacturer to ensure smooth and constant movement of all components. Regular inspections of your twin pushchair will identify any signs of wear and tear and enable you to address these issues as soon as possible to avoid further problems.
