Easy ready to grow double stroller Manoeuvre
A twin pushchair is among the most commonly used baby products, right after a car-seat. It will be the baby’s home for a long time so it's essential to ensure that it is easy to maneuver. Our home testers loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's lightweight, folds up tiny and has excellent steering. It comes with a lot of extras, which competitors 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 be used in mono mode). Its clever frame expands its width when you're using the double pushchair with car seat seat, but it remains a single footprint in mono mode, which makes it much easier to navigate narrow spaces rather than side-byside buggies.
Our test subjects loved the design of this stroller and its numerous features. It was user-friendly. It has a smart folding mechanism that can be folded with a single click. it's also compatible with a lot of car seats so you can just put them in and go. It can be a bit long when it's in double strollers mode, but you can buy a "sidepack" for PS45 to make it more compact.
Convenient storage
A twin pushchair with storage space that is easy to access and easy to access will help you stay organised when you have more than one baby. Select a model with a large storage basket under the seat to store all of the extra items like changing mats for babies and a nappy bag. It's also a good idea to add a snack tray and cup holder, so that you aren't bending over behind your child for a snack or drink when they are hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs that have one seat in the front are great for siblings of different ages, but they are more difficult to maneuver around narrow spaces. The CYBEX Gazelle S or Silver Cross Wave are the best tandem alternatives for twins. However the Evenflo Pivot Xpand double stroller for twins offers an affordable alternative and can accommodate two infant car seat bassinets or infant carriers.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 stroller is a twin stroller that can be used from birth. It works with two infant car seat or carrycots and also in double Buggy that converts to single mode. You can add the UPPAbaby piggyback board to make it work for three children. It's got plenty of storage space when used in single-seat mode. There's also an under-seat basket big enough to accommodate a huge shopping cart. It comes with a large canopy for exceptional protection from the sun or rain and it's also a breeze to monitor your children by using the clever peekaboo-hoods.
Comfortable for both babies
The best twin pushchairs starting from birth will be designed to keep both children at ease during strolls. Look out for padded seats, recline features and adjustable bar for the calf. These features allow your child to relax and stretch or sit straight up to observe their environment.
You should also consider twin strollers with one handlebar that allows you to control the stroller one-handed. This will let you navigate through busy shopping streets or make precise turns. Some double buggies have two handlebars however this isn't always easy to control and could require you to use both hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs can accommodate different combinations of infant car seats, which means you can modify them as your babies develop. For example, the Peach 7 offers two world-facing seats that are suitable from birth, a comfortable parent-facing carrycot, and a toddler seat - making it the perfect choice for siblings of varying ages.
Other alternatives include the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be used with twins or a toddler and baby or even three kids by attaching the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board. It has a super-slim frame that makes it easy to use in small double buggy mode and can be compactly folded for transport.
Tandem buggies are a great option for twins and offer a more streamlined appearance than side-by-side models. They usually have one cushioned seat that can recline fully and is suitable for newborns and the other one has a more upright posture and is suitable for toddlers. Some can be converted into a single pushchair by removing the front seat. They can be difficult to fit on to public transport, and they may not be as stable as a single pushchair when going across kerbs.
Certain models can fold up smaller than others. This is crucial if your home storage space is limited. The egg2 is a stylish option that can be used for either a single or double. It also has a variety of carrycots and infant car seats so you can alter it as your twins grow larger. It is available in many colors and is stylish modern design.
