Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth
The sleek and stylish pushchair can be expanded to twin in just one click. In twin mode the clever frame is narrower but still has space to store a shopping basket beside each car seat, or it can take two car seats or carrycots to suit siblings of varying ages.
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 brand has also redesigned the design to allow you to attach two cocoons together.
Easy to manoeuvre
A twin pushchair is one of the most commonly used baby products, right after a car-seat. It will be the baby's place of residence for a long time, so it’s important to make it easy to maneuver. The Roma Gemini was a favorite of our home testers because it is lightweight, folds small and has excellent steering. It comes with lots of extras, and other brands will charge separately.
Silver Cross Wave is a excellent choice for twins or siblings of different ages since it can be used with two car seats or carrycots (it can be used in mono mode). The clever frame can be expanded in width when you require the double seat, but it has a single footprint when you're in mono mode, making it easier to navigate narrow passageways.
Our testers were impressed by the style of this stroller and its many extras. However, it was simple to use. It folds easily with a single click and compatible with most car seat models. It can be a bit long when in double mode, but you can buy a "sidepack" for PS45 to reduce it to a smaller size.
Convenient storage
A twin pushchair with a storage space that is easily accessible and practical will help you stay organised for more than one baby. Pick a model that has 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 incorporate the cup and snack tray to the holder, so you don't have to reach behind your child to grab food or drinks when they feel hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs with one seat in the front are ideal for siblings of varying ages, however they are more difficult to maneuver through tight spaces. The CYBEX Gazelle S or Silver Cross Wave are the most suitable tandem options for twins. However the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers an affordable alternative and can accommodate two infant car seat bassinets or infant carriers.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an amazing twin stroller starting at birth. It can be used with two infant car seats or carrycots that double as carrycots (you can also add the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board to make it suitable for three kids). It has a lot of storage space in single-seat mode. There's also an under-seat storage basket that's big enough to accommodate a huge shopping cart. It comes with a large canopy that provides excellent protection from rain or sun and it's also simple to monitor your children by using the clever peekaboo hoods.
Baby is a comfortable fit for both
The most effective twin pushchairs from birth are designed to keep both children comfortable while strolling. Look for adjustable calf bars as well as padded seats and recline features. These features allow your child to relax and stretch or stand straight to observe their surroundings.
tandem double stroller is also recommended to look for twin strollers that have one handlebar, which allows you to control the stroller one-handed. This will allow you to navigate through busy shopping streets or make tight turns. single to double buggy come with two handlebars, but this may be difficult to control and may require you to use both hands for pushing.
Some twin pushchairs can be used with different combinations of infant car seats and carrycots, so you can modify the stroller as your baby grows. 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 a great option for siblings of different age.
The UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board can be attached to the UPPAbaby vista 2 to use with twins, a toddler and a baby, or three children. Its ultra-light frame that allows it to be used in double mode and can be folded down for easy transport.
Tandem buggies are a great alternative for twins and provide an elegant appearance compared to 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 into one stroller by taking out the seat in the front. They can be difficult to connect to public transport, and they may not be as stable as a single pushchair moving across kerbs.
Certain models can fold up smaller than others. This is important when your storage space in your home is limited. The egg2 is a chic option that can be used as a double or a single and has a wide range of carrycot and infant car seats so that you can adapt it as your twins grow. It is available in many colors and features a stylish contemporary style.
Easy to clean
Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your twin pushchair in excellent condition for the years to come. This will help prevent issues such as staining, odours, and mould growth. It will also extend the life of your pushchair.
Begin by vacuuming the pushchair to remove dirt dust, crumbs and grime from all areas using a nozzle that is flexible attachment. This will allow you to get into all the crevices and seams of fabric parts, including the canopy, seat and basket.
After vacuuming, remove the seat covers, pads, and liners and wash them on a gentle cycle using mild detergent suitable for babies. Make sure all parts are dry prior to reassembling them to avoid corrosion or water damage.
To remove any hardened odours or sticky messes, it is recommended to regularly clean the non-fabric parts of your twin stroller. This includes the wheels, hinges, and folding parts. If needed an lubricant based on silicone should be used as recommended by the manufacturer to ensure smooth and constant movement of all components. Regular checks of your twin pushchair can reveal any signs of wear and tear and enable you to repair them as soon as possible to avoid further issues.
