Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth
A sleek and stylish pushchair that can be expanded into a twin with one click. When it's twin, the frame is a bit smaller, but offers enough space for a shopping basket alongside each seat/carrycot, or it can take two carrycots or car seats to accommodate siblings of different ages.
The Venus comes with a baby Cocoon that provides a lie-flat, world-facing environment for infants. UPPAbaby has even redesigned the design so that it is possible to attach two cocoons together.
Easy to maneuver
A twin pushchair is among the most frequently used baby products, after a car-seat. It will be the baby's primary residence for a long time, so it's essential to make it easy to move. Our home testers loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's light, folds small and has superb steering. It comes with a variety of extras, and rival brands charge separately.
Silver Cross Wave is a excellent choice for twins or siblings of different ages because it can be used with two car seats or carrycots (it can also be used in mono mode). double buggy expands in width when you're required to use the double seat, yet it remains a single footprint in mono mode so it's more maneuverable through narrow passageways rather than side-byside buggies.
Apart from the appearance and has lots of extras we tested, this pushchair really stood out due to its ease of use. It has a smart fold that is a single-click and it's also compatible with a lot of car seats, so you can just pop them in and go. It can be a bit long when in double mode but you can purchase a "sidepack" for PS45 to make it smaller.
Convenient storage
A twin pushchair with a storage space that is easy to access and easy to access will allow you to stay organized when you have more than one baby. Pick a model that comes with an ample basket underneath the seat to store all of the additional accessories like baby changing mats and nappy bag. It's also a good idea to add a snack tray and cup holder, so you don't have to reach behind your child for drinks or snacks when they're hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs that have one seat behind the other, are great for siblings of varying age, but they can be a little 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 is an amazing twin stroller starting at birth and works with two infant car seats or carrycots in double mode (you could also include the UPPAbaby piggyBack board to make it suitable for three kids). In double pushchair -seat mode, it has plenty of storage space too, as well as a large under-seat storage basket that's big enough for a large shopping bag. It comes with a massive canopy to provide exceptional protection from the sun or rain, and it's also easy to monitor your children with the clever peekaboo hoods.
Comfortable for both babies
The most effective twin pushchairs are designed to keep both children content and comfortable during their strolls. Be sure to look for padded seats, recline features and adjustable bar for the calf. These features allow your child to relax and stretch or be seated straight up to watch their environment.
It is also recommended to look for twin strollers with a single handlebar, which allows you to control the stroller one-handed. double stroller will help you to navigate busy shopping streets and negotiate tight turns. Some double buggies have two handlebars, but they can be difficult to control and may require that you use both hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs can accommodate different combinations of infant car seats and carrycots, so you can modify the stroller as your baby grows. The Peach 7 is a great option for siblings of different age groups, since it has two seats that can be used from birth and an infant carrycot that faces the parent.
Other alternatives include the UPPAbaby Vista 2 that can be used with twins or a toddler and a baby or even three children by attaching the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board. Its ultra-light frame that allows it to be used in double mode, and it can be compactly folded for transport.
Tandem buggies are a great option for twins and offer an appearance that is more sleek than side-by-side models. They typically have a padded seat that reclines fully and is suitable for newborns while the other is a more upright position and is suitable for toddlers. Some can be converted to a single pushchair by taking off the front seat. They aren't easy to connect to public transport and may not be as stable as a single pushchair going between kerbs.
Some models are able to fold down smaller than others, which could be important if you're short on 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 variety of carrycots and baby car seats so you can adjust it as your twins 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 good condition for many years to come. This will prevent issues like staining, odours, and mould growth, and extend its life.
Start by vacuuming your pushchair with a flexible nozzle attachment to remove dirt, crumbs and grime from all surfaces. This will allow you to get into the crevices and seams of the fabric components including the seat, canopy and basket.
Once the vacuuming process is completed Follow the manufacturer's instructions to remove the seat covers pads, liners and pads off the chassis frame and machine washing them on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent appropriate for infants. Make sure that all components are dry prior to reassembling them to avoid corrosion or water damage.
Non-fabric components, for example the hinges, wheels and the folding parts of your twin pushchair need to be cleaned regularly using an uncluttered cloth to eliminate any sticky messes or hardened odours. If necessary, use a silicone-based grease, as suggested by the manufacture to ensure smooth and continuous movement of all components. Regularly checking your twin pushchair can help you recognize any signs of wear, which will allow you to repair them as soon as you can.
