Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth
A stylish and sleek pushchair that can expand into a twin in one click. When it's twin, the frame is a bit smaller, but has space to store a shopping basket beside each car seat, or it can accommodate two carrycots or car seats to accommodate siblings of various ages.
The Venus also includes a newborn cocoon to create a flat, comfortable environment, and a parent or the world-facing option for infants. UPPAbaby has even redesigned the design so that it is possible to attach two cocoons.
Easy to Manoeuvre
A twin pushchair is one of the most frequently used baby products, right after a car-seat. It will be the baby's primary residence for a long time, so it is essential to ensure that it is easy to maneuver. Our home testers loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's light, folds compactly and has a great steering. It comes with a lot of extras, and other brands will charge separately.
Silver Cross Wave is a ideal choice for twins and siblings of various ages, because it can be used with two car seats or carrycots (it can be used in mono mode). The frame's clever design can be expanded in width when you require the double seat, but it has a single footprint in mono mode which makes it easier for you to navigate narrow passageways.
Aside from the fact that it looks great and comes with plenty of features, our testers found this stroller really stood out due to its user-friendliness. It has a smart, single-click to fold and it's compatible with all car seats, so you can just put them in and go. It's a bit long in double mode, but you can buy a "sidepack' to reduce it for PS45.
Convenient storage
If you have more than one child, a twin pushchair from birth with a convenient and easily accessible storage space can help you keep things organized. Select a model with an enormous basket under to store all the additional accessories, such as baby changing mats, rain covers and nappy bags. It's also a great idea to add the cup and snack tray to the holder, so that you don't have to reach behind your child for food or drinks when they're hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs with one seat in the front are 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 is more budget-friendly and can take two infant car seat carriers or bassinets in double mode.
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 can even add the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board to make it suitable for three children). It has a lot of storage space in single-seat mode. It also has a huge under-seat basket that can accommodate a large shopping cart. It comes with a massive canopy for incredible protection from the rain or sun and it's also a breeze to monitor your children with the clever peekaboo hoods.
Comfortable for both babies
The best twin pushchairs are designed to keep both children happy and comfortable during their strolls. Find adjustable calf bars as well as padded seats and recline features. These will give your child the opportunity to stretch out and relax or stand up straight to take in their surroundings.
double running buggy 's also worth looking for twin prams with a single handlebar to make it easier to steer one-handed. This will allow you to navigate busy shopping streets and negotiate tight turns. Some double buggies have two handlebars, however these aren't always easy to control and could require both hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs can be used with different combinations of infant car seats and carrycots so you can alter the stroller as your baby grows. The Peach 7 is a great option for siblings of different age ranges, as it comes with two seats that are suitable from birth and a carrycot facing the parent.
The UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board can be connected to the UPPAbaby Vista 2 for use with twins, a toddler and a baby or even three children. It has a super-slim frame that makes it easy to use in double mode, and it can be folded down for easy transport.
Tandem buggies provide a more streamlined look than side-byside buggies and are a good option for twins. One seat is cushioned and reclines to a full angle for infants, while the other is more upright and appropriate for toddlers. Some can be converted back to a single pushchair by taking off the front seat. Some aren't easy to fit on public transportation, and they might not be as stable when moving on kerbs, as a single-pushchair.
Some models are able to fold up smaller than others, which can be a good thing if you're low in storage space at home. The egg2 is a chic choice that can be used as a double or a single and has a wide range of carrycot and infant car seats, so you can adapt to your twins' needs as they get bigger. It's also available in a range of colors and features a lovely contemporary style.
Easy to clean
Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your twin pushchair in great condition for years to come. This will help prevent issues like fabric stains, odours and the growth of mould. It will also prolong its life.
Start by vacuuming the pushchair to get rid of dirt dust, crumbs and grime from all areas, using a flexible nozzle attachment. This will help get into all the crevices and seams in the fabric components, including the canopy, seat and basket.
After vacuuming, take off double infant strollers , pads, and liners and wash them in a gentle cycle using mild detergent suitable for babies. Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembly to prevent corrosion or damage from water.
To get rid of any odours that have hardened or sticky messes, regularly clean the non-fabric parts of your twin stroller. This includes the wheels, hinges, and folding components. If needed, apply silicone-based grease according to the recommendations by the manufacture to ensure smooth and constant movement of all components. Monitoring your twin pushchair on a regular basis can help you identify any signs of wear, allowing you to fix them as quickly as possible.
