Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth

A stylish and sleek pushchair that expands into a twin with one click. In twin mode the frame is a little shorter, but it still has room for a basket next to each seat or carrycot. It can also take two car seats or carrycots based on the age of your children.

The Venus also comes with a newborn baby cocoon to create a lying-flat environment, and a parent or world-facing options for infants. The UPPAbaby team has even updated the design so that it is possible to attach two cocoons together.

Easy to maneuver

One of the most commonly used baby products is the car seat A twin pushchair will be the baby's primary residence for quite some time so it's essential that it's easy to move. The Roma Gemini was a favorite of our home testers because it is lightweight, folds small and has excellent steering. It also comes with loads of extras that rival brands sell separately, including an upholstered seat liner that is fleecey.

The Silver Cross Wave is another ideal choice for siblings or twins with different ages since it's designed to fit two seats and car seats (it is also able to be used with two carrycots in mono mode). The clever frame expands its width when you're required to use the Double Pram Buggy seat, yet keeps a single footprint when in mono mode, which makes it easier to navigate narrow passageways rather than side-byside buggies.

Aside from the appearance and has lots of extras the test group found that this stroller really stood out due to its simplicity of use. It has a smart fold that is a single-click and it's also compatible with a lot of car seats, so it's easy to pop them in and go. It can be a bit long when it's in double buggy that converts to single mode but you can buy a "sidepack" for PS45 to reduce it to a smaller size.

Convenient storage

A twin pushchair with a storage area that is easy to access and practical can help you stay organized for more than one baby. Select a model with a large basket under the seat to store all of the extra accessories such as changing mats for babies and a nappy bag. A handy cup holder as well as snack tray is also an excellent addition, as it helps you avoid reaching behind your children to grab an ice-cold drink or snack when they feel thirsty or hungry.

Tandem twin pushchairs that have one seat in the front are great for children of varying ages, however they aren't always easy to maneuver around narrow spaces. The CYBEX Gazelle S or Silver Cross Wave are the top tandem choices for twins. However, the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers a more affordable option and can accommodate two infant car seat carriers or bassinets.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an incredible twin stroller that is available from birth. It can be used with two infant car seats or carrycots that double as carrycots (you could also include the UPPAbaby piggyBack board to make it suitable for three children). In single-seat mode, it comes with plenty of storage space too, as well as a spacious under-seat basket that's big enough to hold a large shopping bag. It has a large canopy that provides excellent protection from the rain or sun. The clever peekaboo hoods allow you to keep an eye on your baby.

Comfortable for both babies

The best twin pushchairs starting from birth will be designed to keep both children comfortable during strolls. Find adjustable calf bars, padded seats and recline features. These features will allow your child to relax and stretch or stand straight to observe their environment.

You should also consider twin strollers that have one handlebar, which allows you to control the stroller with one hand. This will help you to navigate busy shopping streets and negotiate tight turns. Double buggies may have two handlebars, however these can be difficult to control and could require you to use both hands to push.

Some twin pushchairs are able to accommodate various combinations of infant car seats, which means you can alter to your baby's needs as they 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 option for siblings of different ages.

Other alternatives include the UPPAbaby 2 that can be used with twins or a toddler and a baby or even three children by attaching the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board. It is easy to fold and folds down compactly.

Tandem buggies are an excellent alternative for twins and provide an appearance that is more sleek than side-by-side models. They typically have one padded seat that reclines fully and is suitable for newborns and the other one has an upright design and can be used by toddlers. Some can be converted into one stroller by taking out the seat in the front. Some are difficult to fit onto public transport, and may not be as stable when moving on kerbs, as a single-pushchair.

Some models are able to fold smaller than others, which can be a good thing if you're low on storage space at home. The egg2 is an elegant choice that can be used for either a single or double. It also has various carrycots and baby car seats so you can modify it as your twins grow larger. It's also available in a range of colors and features an elegant contemporary design.

Easy to clean

Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your stroller in top condition for years to come. This will prevent problems like fabric stains, odours and mould growth and also extend the life of your pushchair.

Start by vacuuming your pushchair using a nozzle that is flexible to eliminate crumbs, dirt and grime from all areas. This will let you reach into every crevice seams, seams and fabrics such as the seat canopy and the basket.

After vacuuming, take off the fabric seat covers, pads, and liners and wash them in a gentle cycle using mild detergent suitable for babies. To avoid corrosion and water damage, ensure that all parts are dry prior to rebuilding.

To get rid of any odours that have hardened or sticky messes, it is recommended to regularly clean the non-fabric components of your twin stroller. This includes the hinges, wheels, and folding parts. If needed, apply silicone-based grease according to the recommendations by the manufacture to ensure smooth and continuous movement of all components. Regular checks of your twin pushchair can reveal any signs of wear and tear and allow you to fix these promptly to avoid further problems.
