Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth
The sleek and stylish pushchair can be expanded to twin in just one click. In twin mode the clever frame is narrower but still offers enough space to store a shopping basket beside each car seat, or it can be used with two carrycots or car seats to accommodate siblings of different age.
The Venus comes with a baby Cocoon that creates a lie-flat and world-facing environment for infants. UPPAbaby have even rejigged the design to let you attach two cocoons together.
Easy to maneuver
A twin pushchair is among the most frequently used baby products, right after a car-seat. It will be the baby’s home for a long period of time, so it is essential to make it easy to move. Our home testers loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's lightweight, folds up tiny and has excellent steering. It also comes with a variety of accessories that rival brands don't sell separately, like the seat liner, which is padded and fleecey.
Silver Cross Wave is a great option for twins and siblings of different ages because it can be used with two car seats or carrycots (it can also be used in mono mode). The clever frame expands its width when you're required to use the double seat, but maintains a single footprint in mono mode so it's much easier to navigate narrow spaces rather than side-byside buggies.
Our testers were impressed by the style of this pushchair as well as its many extras. However, it was easy to use. It's easy to fold with a single click and is compatible with the majority of car seat models. It's a bit long in double stroller with bassinet mode, however you can buy a "sidepack" to reduce it for PS45.
Convenient storage
If you have more than one child, a twin pushchair from birth with a convenient and easily accessible storage area will help you keep everything organised. Choose a model that has a large basket under the seat to store all the additional accessories like changing mats for babies and a nappy bag. It is also a good idea to include a snack tray and cup holder, so you aren't bending over behind your child to grab food or drinks when they feel hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs, which have one seat ahead of the other, are great for siblings of varying ages but may be a little 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 budget-friendly and can take two infant car seats or bassinets in double pushchairs stroller With Bassinet (maps.google.gg) mode.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an amazing twin stroller from birth and works with two infant car seats or carrycots in double mode (you can also add the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board to make it suitable for three children). In single-seat mode, it comes with plenty of storage space as a spacious under-seat basket that's big enough to hold a large shopping bag. It comes with a huge canopy that offers excellent protection from the rain or sun. The clever peekaboo hoods make it easy to keep an eye on your baby.
Comfortable for both babies
The best twin pushchairs from birth will be designed to keep both children comfortable while strolling. Look for adjustable calf bars as well as padded seats and recline features. These features allow your child to relax and stretch or stand straight to observe their surroundings.
It is also worthwhile to look for twin prams with one handlebar, making it easier to steer the pram with one hand. This will let you navigate through busy shopping streets or make tight turns. Double buggies may have two handlebars but this may be difficult to control and could require both hands for pushing.
Some twin pushchairs are able to accommodate different combinations of carrycots and infant car seats so you can adapt 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 can be used from birth, and a carrycot facing the parent.
Other alternatives include the UPPAbaby Vista 2 that can be used with twins or a toddler and a baby or even three children by affixing the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board. It is easy to use and folds up easily.
Tandem buggies provide more sleek appearance than side-by-side 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 double by taking out the seat in front. Some aren't easy to fit on public transportation, and they might not be as stable moving between kerbs like a single-pushchair.
Some models fold into smaller sizes than others. This is crucial when your storage space in your home is restricted. The egg2 is a chic choice that can be used as a double buggy sale or a single and offers a variety of infant car seats, so you can alter it as your twins develop. It comes in a variety of colours and has an attractive modern design.
Easy to clean
Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your twin pushchair in excellent condition for the years to come. This will help prevent problems like staining, odours, and mould growth, and extend its life.
Start by vacuuming your pushchair with a flexible nozzle attachment to get rid of crumbs, dirt and grime from all surfaces. This will help reach into all crevices and seams in the fabric components including the canopy, seat and basket.
After vacuuming, remove the seat covers pads, liners, and cushions and wash them in an easy cycle using mild detergent suitable for babies. Make sure all parts are dry prior to reassembling to avoid corrosion or water damage.
To remove any hardened odours or sticky messes, you should regularly clean the non-fabric components of your twin stroller. This includes the hinges, wheels, and folding components. If necessary, a silicone-based lubricant must be used as recommended by the manufacturer to ensure smooth and constant movement of all components. Regular checks of your twin pushchair can reveal any signs of wear and tear, and allow you to address these issues promptly to avoid future problems.
