Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth

A sleek and stylish pushchair that expands into a twin with one click. When it's twin, the frame is smaller but has space for a shopping basket alongside each car seat, or it can take two carrycots or car seats to suit siblings of varying ages.

The Venus comes with a newborn Cocoon that provides a lie-flat, world-facing environment for infants. The UPPAbaby team has even updated the design to allow it is possible to attach two cocoons.

Easy to Manoeuvre

A twin pushchair is one of the most commonly used baby products, after the car seat. It will be the baby's primary residence for a long period of time, so it’s important to ensure that it is easy to maneuver. Our test subjects loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's lightweight, folds up small and has superb steering. It also comes with a variety of extras that rival brands offer separately, such as an upholstered seat liner that is fleecey.

The Silver Cross Wave is another excellent choice for siblings or twins of varying ages, as it's designed to accommodate 2 seats and car seats (it can also be used with 2 carrycots in mono mode). The frame's clever design can be expanded in width when you need the double seat but maintains one footprint when in mono mode which makes it easier to navigate narrow passageways.

Our test subjects loved the design of this stroller and its numerous features. It was easy to use. It's got a clever, single-click to fold and it's also compatible with most car seats so it's easy to take them out and go. It's a bit long when it's in double mode but you can purchase a "sidepack" for PS45 to make it more compact twin stroller.

Convenient storage

A twin pushchair with a storage space that is easily accessible and practical will allow you to stay organized for more than one child. Choose a model that has an ample basket underneath the seat to keep all the extra items like changing mats for babies and a nappy bag. It's also a great idea to include a snack tray and cup holder so that you aren't bending over behind your child to get drinks or snacks when they are hungry.

Tandem twin pushchairs, with one seat in front of the other, are perfect for children of different age, but they can be a little more difficult to manoeuvre through small spaces than side-by-side models. The CYBEX Gazelle S or Silver Cross Wave are the best Double strollers for newborn and Toddler tandem options for twins. However the Evenflo Pivot Xpand double buggy newborn offers an affordable alternative and can accommodate two infant car seat bassinets or carriers.

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 also in double mode. It can be paired with the UPPAbaby piggyback board to make it suitable for three children. It has a lot of storage space in single-seat mode. There's also a large under-seat basket that can accommodate an enormous shopping cart. It features a large canopy that offers excellent protection from the sun or rain. The clever peekaboo hoods make it simple to keep your baby's attention.

Comfortable for both babies

The best twin pushchairs starting from birth will be designed to keep both children comfortable during strolls. Be sure to look for padded seats with recline features, as well as adjustable bar for the calf. These will give your child the opportunity to relax and stretch out or sit straight and observe their surroundings.

It's also worth considering a twin pram that has one handlebar to make it easier to steer the pram with one hand. This will allow you to navigate through busy malls or take tight turns. Some double umbrella stroller buggies have two handlebars, however they aren't always easy to control and could require both hands to push.

Some twin pushchairs can accommodate different combinations of infant car seats and carrycots so you can alter the stroller as your child grows. The Peach 7 is a great choice for siblings with varying age ranges, as it comes with two seats that are suitable for babies from birth. It also has an infant carrycot that faces the parent.

The UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board can be attached to the UPPAbaby Vista 2 for 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 alternative for twins and provide a more streamlined appearance than side-by-side models. They typically have a cushioned seat that reclines completely and is suitable for newborns and the other has a more upright posture and is suitable for toddlers. They can be transformed into a single stroller by removing the seat in the front. They aren't easy to connect to public transport, and they may not be as stable as a single pushchair moving between kerbs.

Some models can be folded into smaller sizes than others. This is important when your storage space in your home is small. The egg2 is a stylish choice that can be used as a cheap double pushchair or single and has a wide range of carrycot and infant car seat configurations so you can alter it as your twins grow. It is available in many colors and is stylish contemporary design.

Easy to clean

Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your stroller in top condition for many years to come. This will help prevent problems like staining, odours, and mould growth. It will also prolong the life of your child's pushchair.

Start by vacuuming your pushchair with a flexible nozzle attachment to eliminate crumbs, dirt, and grime from all surfaces. This will allow you to get into all the crevices seams, seams and fabric parts such as the seat canopy and the basket.

After vacuuming, remove the fabric seat covers, pads, and liners and wash them in the gentle cycle with gentle detergent for infants. Ensure all parts are completely dry prior to reassembling them to prevent corrosion or damage from water.

Non-fabric parts, like the hinges, wheels and the folding parts of your twin pushchair must be regularly cleaned with a clean cloth to remove any sticky residues or hardened smells. If necessary, a silicone-based lubricant should be used as recommended by the manufacturer to ensure smooth and consistent movement of all components. Regular checks of your twin pushchair will reveal any signs of wear and tear and enable you to repair them promptly to reduce the risk of more problems.
