Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth

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

The Venus also includes a newborn cocoon to create a lie-flat environment that is a parent-facing or the world-facing option for infants. UPPAbaby have even rejigged the design to allow you attach two cocoons side by side.

Easy to Manoeuvre

One of the most used baby products after a car seat twin pushchairs will be the baby's primary residence for quite some time so it's crucial that it's easy to manoeuvre. Our test subjects loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's light, folds small and has superb steering. It comes with a variety of extras, and competitors charge separately.

Silver Cross Wave is a great option for twins and siblings of various ages, as it can be used with two car seats or carrycots (it can be used in mono mode). Its clever frame expands in width when you need the strollers double strollers seat, yet it maintains the same footprint when you're in mono mode which makes it easier to navigate narrow passageways.

Our testers loved the look of this stroller and its numerous features. However, it was user-friendly. It's got a clever, single-click to fold and it's compatible with all car seats so you can just put them in and go. It can be a bit long when it's in double buggy sale mode but you can purchase a "sidepack" for PS45 to reduce it to a smaller size.

Convenient storage

If you have more than one child and a twin pushchair for birth with a practical and easily accessible storage space can help you keep things well-organized. Choose a model with an ample basket beneath for storing all the extra accessories like baby changing mats rain covers, nappy bags. It is also a good idea to include a snack tray and cup holder so that you do not have to reach behind your child to get food or drinks when they're hungry.

Tandem twin pushchairs (pushchairsandprams.uk), which have one seat ahead of the other, are great for siblings of varying ages but may be a bit more difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces than side-by-side models. The CYBEX Gazelle S and Silver Cross Wave are the top tandem options for twins, while the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is more affordable and can be used with two infant car seats or bassinets in double mode.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 stroller is a twin stroller that can be used from birth. It can be used with two infant car seats or carrycots and in double mode. You can add 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 large enough to fit a large shopping bag. It comes with a massive canopy for incredible protection from the rain or sun and it's also a breeze to check on your baby with the clever peekaboo hoods.

Baby is a comfortable fit for both

The best twin pushchairs from birth will be designed to ensure that both children are at ease during strolls. Look for adjustable calf bars with padded seats, as well as recline features. These features will allow your child to stretch and relax or stand straight to observe their surroundings.

It is also recommended to look for twin prams with one handlebar, which allows you to control the stroller with one hand. This will allow you to navigate busy shopping streets and navigate tight turns. Double buggies may have two handlebars, however these can be difficult to control and may require you to use both hands to push.

Some twin pushchairs are able to accommodate different combinations of carrycots and infant car seats, so you can alter them as your babies grow. The Peach 7 is a great option for siblings with different age ranges, as it comes with two seats that are suitable from birth and an infant carrycot that faces the parent.

The UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board can be attached to the UPPAbaby vista 2 to use with twins, a toddler and a baby or even three children. It is easy to use and folds compactly.

Tandem buggies are a great option for twins. They offer an appearance that is more sleek than side-by-side models. One seat is padded and reclines to a full angle for newborns while the other is more upright and suitable for toddlers. Some can be converted back to a single pushchair simply by taking off the front seat. They aren't easy to connect to public transport, and they may not be as sturdy as a single pushchair moving up and down kerbs.

Some models are able to fold down smaller than others, which can be beneficial if you're strapped in storage space at home. The egg2 is an elegant option that can be used for a single or a double. It also comes with a range of carrycots as well as baby car seats so you can alter it as your twins get bigger. It's also available in a variety of colours and has a lovely contemporary style.

Easy to clean

Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your twin stroller in great condition for many years to come. This will help prevent issues such as fabric stains, odours, and the growth of mould. It will also prolong the life of your child's pushchair.

Start by vacuuming your pushchair with a nozzle attachment that is flexible to remove dirt, crumbs, and grime from all areas. This will help get into the crevices and seams of the fabric components including the canopy, seat and basket.

After vacuuming, remove the seat covers made of fabric pads, liners, and cushions and wash them on a gentle cycle using gentle detergent for infants. Make sure that all components are dry prior to reassembling to prevent corrosion or water damage.

Non-fabric parts, like the hinges, wheels, and folding components of your twin pushchair must be cleaned regularly using an uncluttered cloth to eliminate any sticky messes or hardened smells. If needed, apply a silicone-based grease as recommended by the manufacturer to ensure smooth and consistent movement of all components. Monitoring your twin pushchair on a regular basis can help you recognize any signs of wear, allowing you to fix them as quickly as you can.
