Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth
A sleek and stylish pushchair that expands into a twin with one click. In twin mode, the frame is a bit smaller, but allows to store a shopping basket beside each seat/carrycot. It can accommodate two car seats or carrycots to accommodate siblings of various age.
The Venus comes with a newborn Cocoon that creates a lie-flat and world-facing environment for infants. UPPAbaby have even rejigged the design to allow you attach two cocoons side-by-side.
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 place of residence for a long period of time, so it’s important to make it easy to maneuver. Our test subjects loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's light, folds compactly and has a great steering. It comes with lots of extras, and rival brands charge separately.
The Silver Cross Wave is another ideal choice for siblings or twins of varying ages, as it's designed to fit 2 seats and car seats (it can also be used with 2 carrycots in mono mode). Its clever frame expands in width when you require the double seat, yet it maintains the same footprint when in mono mode which makes it easier to navigate narrow passageways.
Aside from the appearance and has plenty of extras we tested, this model stood out for its ease of use. It's got a clever, single-click to fold and it's compatible with all car seats, so you can simply put them in and go. It's a little long in double mode, but you can buy a "sidepack" to make it smaller for PS45.
Convenient storage
A twin pushchair with storage space that is easily accessible and easy to access can help you stay organized if you have more than one child. Pick a model that has a large basket underneath to store all the additional accessories, such as baby changing mats, rain covers and nappy bags. It is also a good idea to add a snack tray and cup holder so that you don't have to reach behind your child to grab drinks or snacks when they feel hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs with a single seat in the front make great for siblings of varying ages, however they aren't always easy to maneuver around narrow spaces. The CYBEX Gazelle S and Silver Cross Wave offer the best tandem options for twins while the Evenflo Pivot Xpand double buggy with carrycot is more budget-friendly and can take two infant car seats or bassinets in double 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 can be used in double mode. You can also add the UPPAbaby piggyback board to allow it to be used by three children. It's a great size with plenty of storage space when used in single-seat mode. There's also a large under-seat basket that can accommodate a huge shopping cart. It features a large canopy that offers great protection from sun or rain. The clever peekaboo hoods allow you to keep an eye on your child.
It is comfortable for both babies and toddlers.
The most effective twin pushchairs from birth will be designed to ensure that both children are at ease during strolls. Be sure ready to grow double stroller look for padded seats with recline features, as well as adjustable bar for the calf. These will allow your child to stretch out and relax, or sit straight and observe their surroundings.
You should also look for twin strollers with a single handlebar, which makes it easier to steer the stroller using one hand. This will make it easier to navigate busy shopping streets and negotiate tight turns. Some double buggies have two handlebars, but this may be difficult to manage and may require both hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs are able to accommodate various combinations of carrycots and infant car seats, which means you can adapt the pushchairs as your children develop. The Peach 7 is a great option for siblings with different ages, as it offers two seats that can be used from birth and an infant carrycot that faces the parent.
Other alternatives include the UPPAbaby 2 that can be used with twins, a baby and toddler or even three kids by attaching the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board. It has a super-slim frame that allows it to be used in double mode, and it can be compactly folded for transport.
Tandem buggies are an excellent option for twins and offer an elegant appearance compared to side-by-side models. They typically have one cushioned seat that reclines completely and is suitable for infants while the other is an upright design and can be used by toddlers. Some of them can be converted to a single pushchair by removing the front seat. Some aren't easy to fit on public transport, and may not be as stable traveling between kerbs like a single-pushchair.
Certain models can fold up smaller than others. This is crucial if your home storage space is limited. The egg2 is a chic choice that can be used as a double or single and offers a variety of carrycot and infant car seats so that you can modify to your twins' needs as they develop. It is available in many colors and is stylish contemporary style.
Easy to clean
Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your stroller in top condition for years to come. This will help prevent issues such as staining, odours, and mould growth, and extend its life.
Begin by vacuuming the pushchair to loosen up dirt dust, crumbs and grime from all areas, using a flexible nozzle attachment. This will allow you to access all crevices seams, seams and fabrics such as the seat canopy, and basket.
Once the vacuuming process is completed Follow the manufacturer's instructions for removing fabric seat coverings, pads and liners from the frame of the chassis and washing them on a delicate cycle with mild detergent that is suitable for babies. Make sure that all components are dry before reassembly to prevent corrosion or damage from water.
Non-fabric components, for example the wheels, hinges and the folding parts of your twin pushchair need to be cleaned regularly using a clean cloth to remove any sticky messes or hardened smells. If needed an lubricant based on silicone should be used in accordance with the recommendations of the manufacturer to ensure smooth and consistent movement of all components. Regular checks of your twin pushchair will identify any signs of wear and tear, and allow you to repair them as soon as possible to avoid further issues.
