Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth
A sleek and stylish pushchair that can be expanded into a twin in one click. When it's twin, the frame is narrower but still allows for a shopping basket alongside each seat/carrycot, or it can accommodate two carrycots or car seats to accommodate siblings of different ages.
The Venus also comes with a newborn baby cocoon to create a flat, comfortable environment that is a parent-facing or world-facing options for infants. The UPPAbaby team has even updated the design to allow you can connect two cocoons together.
Easy to Manoeuvre
One of the most frequently used baby products is a car seat twin pushchairs will be the baby's mainstay for quite some time so it's essential that it's simple to maneuver. The Roma Gemini was a favorite of our home testers because it's lightweight, compact and has excellent steering. It comes with lots of extras, which other brands will charge separately.
The Silver Cross Wave is another great option for siblings or twins of varying ages, as it's designed to fit two seats and car seats (it can also be used with 2 carrycots in mono mode). Its clever frame expands widthways when you're required to use the double travel buggy seat, but keeps a single footprint when in mono mode so it's easier to navigate narrow passageways rather than side-byside buggies.
Our test subjects loved the design of this pushchair and its numerous features. But it was also user-friendly. It's easy to fold with just a click and is compatible with the majority of car seat models. It's a bit long in double mode, but you can purchase a'sidepack' to reduce it 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 everything organized. Choose a model with a large basket underneath to store all the additional accessories, such as baby changing mats rain covers, nappy bags. A handy cup holder as well as snack tray are an excellent addition, as it saves you reaching behind your children for a drink and snack when they start to feel hungry or thirsty.
Tandem twin pushchairs that have one seat in the front make great for children of varying ages, however they aren't always easy to maneuver through narrow spaces. The CYBEX Gazelle S and Silver Cross Wave provide the most suitable tandem options for twins while the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is more budget-friendly and can take two infant car seat carriers or bassinets in double mode.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 stroller is a twin stroller that is able to be used from birth. It works with two infant car seat or carrycots, and can be used in double mode. You can also add the UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board to make it suitable for three children. It's a great size with plenty of storage space in single-seat mode. It also has a huge under-seat basket that can hold a large shopping cart. It has a huge canopy that provides excellent protection from sun or rain and it's also simple to check on your babies with the clever peekaboo hoods.
Comfortable for both babies
The best twin pushchairs starting from birth are designed to ensure both children are at ease during strolls. Find adjustable calf bars as well as padded seats and recline features. These features allow your child to stretch and relax or be seated straight up to watch their environment.
It's also worth considering a twin pram with one handlebar, making it easier to steer one-handed. This will let you navigate through busy shopping streets or make tight turns. Some double Seat Stroller buggies come with two handlebars, but this isn't always easy to manage and may require two hands for pushing.
Some twin pushchairs can accommodate different combinations of infant car seats and carrycots, so you can alter the stroller as your child grows. For instance the Peach 7 offers two world-facing seats that are suitable from birth, a comfortable parent-facing carrycot as well as a toddler seat - making it the perfect choice for siblings of various ages.
Other options include the UPPAbaby Vista 2 that can be used with twins, a baby and toddler or even three kids by affixing the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board. It is simple to use and folds up easily.
Tandem buggies offer a more streamlined look than side-byside models and are a good option for twins. One seat is cushioned and reclines to a full-angle for infants and the other is more upright and appropriate for toddlers. Some can be made into one stroller by removing the seat in the front. Some are difficult to fit onto public transportation, and they might not be as stable traveling between kerbs like a single-pushchair.
Some models are able to fold up smaller than others, which could be a good thing if you're low on storage space at home. The egg2 is a stylish choice that can be used for a single or a double pram and pushchair. It also comes with a range of carrycots as well as baby car seats so you can adjust it as your twins grow bigger. It's also available in a variety of colours and has an elegant contemporary design.
Easy to clean
Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your stroller in good condition for many years to come. This will prevent issues like staining, odours, and the growth of mould and extend the life of your pushchair.
Start by vacuuming your stroller with a flexible nozzle attachment to get rid of crumbs, dirt, and grime from every area. This will help get into the crevices and seams of fabric components including the canopy, seat and basket.
Once the vacuuming process is completed, follow the manufacturer's guidelines to remove the seat covers pads, liners and pads off the chassis frame and machine washing them on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent suitable for infants. Ensure all parts are completely dry prior to reassembling them to avoid corrosion or damage from water.
Non-fabric parts, like the wheels, hinges and the folding parts of your twin pushchair need to be regularly cleaned using an uncluttered cloth to eliminate any sticky messes or hardened smells. If needed, a silicone-based lubricant should be used according to the recommendations of the manufacturer to ensure smooth and consistent movement of all components. Regularly checking your twin pushchair can help you recognize any signs of wear, allowing you to fix them as quickly as you can.
