Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth
A stylish and stylish pushchair that expands into a twin in one click. In twin mode the frame is a little shorter, but it still has room for a basket in front of each seat/carrycot. It can also hold two car seats or carrycots based on the age of your children.
The Venus also comes with a newborn baby cocoon to create a lie-flat environment that is a parent-facing or the world-facing option for infants. The UPPAbaby team has even updated the design to allow you can connect two cocoons together.
Easy to maneuver
double pushchair is one of the most frequently used baby products, after the car seat. It will be the baby’s home for a long period of time, so it’s important to ensure that it is easy to maneuver. The Roma Gemini was a favorite of our home testers due to the fact that it is lightweight, compact and has excellent steering. It comes with a lot of extras that other brands will charge separately.
The Silver Cross Wave is another excellent choice for twins or siblings with different ages since it's designed to take two seats and car seats (it can even be used with 2 carrycots in mono mode). The clever frame expands its width when you're using the double seat, yet keeps a single footprint when in mono mode, making it more maneuverable through narrow passageways than buggies that are side-by-side.
Apart from the design that is stunning and has lots of extras, our testers found this pushchair really stood out due to its user-friendliness. It folds easily with a single click and is compatible with all car seat models. It's a bit long when in double mode but you can purchase a "sidepack" for PS45 to reduce it to a smaller size.
Convenient storage
A twin pushchair with storage space that is easy to access and practical can help you stay organized when you have more than one baby. Select a model with an ample basket underneath the seat to store all the extra accessories such as baby changing mats and nappy bag. A handy cup holder as well as snack tray are an excellent option, since it helps you avoid reaching behind your kids for drinks and snacks when they begin to feel hungry or thirsty.
Tandem twin pushchairs, which have one seat behind the other, are great for siblings of varying age, but they can be a bit more difficult to maneuver in narrow spaces than side-by-side models. The CYBEX Gazelle S and Silver Cross Wave provide the most suitable tandem options for twins, while the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is more affordable and can accommodate two infant car seats or bassinets in double mode.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an amazing twin stroller starting at birth. It works with two infant car seats or carrycots in double mode (you can also include the UPPAbaby piggyBack board to make it suitable for three kids). In single-seat mode, it has plenty of storage space as a large under-seat storage basket that's large enough to fit a large shopping bag. It has a large canopy that offers great protection from sun or rain. The clever peekaboo hoods allow you to keep an eye on your baby.
Baby is a comfortable fit for both
The best twin pushchairs from birth are designed to keep both children at ease during strolls. Find adjustable calf bars, padded seats and recline features. These will give your child the opportunity to stretch out and relax, or sit up straight to observe their surroundings.
You should also look for twin strollers with one handlebar that makes it easier to steer the stroller using one hand. This will help you to navigate busy shopping streets and make tight turns. Some double buggies come with two handlebars however this can be harder 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 and carrycots. This means you can adapt the stroller as your child grows. The Peach 7 is a great choice for siblings with varying age groups, since it has two seats that are suitable for babies from birth. It also has a carrycot facing the parent.
Other alternatives include the UPPAbaby Vista 2 that can be used with twins or a toddler and a baby or even three kids by attaching the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board. It is easy to fold and folds down compactly.
Tandem buggies are a great option for twins. They offer an elegant appearance compared to side-by-side models. One seat is padded and can recline to a full angle for infants and the other is more upright and suitable for toddlers. They can be transformed into one stroller by removing the seat in front. Some are difficult to fit onto public transport, and may not be as stable when traveling between kerbs like a single-pushchair.
Certain models can fold smaller than others, which could be important if you're short in storage space at home. The egg2 is a stylish option that can be used as a double or a single and offers a variety of carrycots and infant car seats so that you can modify to your twins' needs as they grow. It is available in many colours and has an attractive contemporary design.
Easy to clean
Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your twin pushchair in excellent condition for long time to come. This will help avoid problems like fabric stains, odours and mould growth and also extend its life.
Begin by vacuuming your pushchair using a nozzle that is flexible to remove dirt, crumbs, and grime from all areas. This will help get into the crevices and seams in the fabric components, including the canopy, seat and basket.
Once the vacuuming is complete, follow the manufacturer's guidelines for removing the fabric seat covers, pads and liners from the chassis frame and machine washing them on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent suitable for infants. Make sure that all components are dry before reassembly to prevent water damage or corrosion.
To remove any hardened odours or sticky messes, you should regularly clean the non-fabric components of your twin stroller. This includes the wheels, hinges, and folding parts. If needed, apply a silicone-based grease, as suggested by the manufacturer 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 address these issues as soon as you can to reduce the risk of more issues.
