Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth
The stylish and sleek pushchair can be converted to a twin in just one click. In twin mode, the frame is smaller but allows to store a shopping basket beside each car seat, or it can accommodate two car seats or carrycots to suit siblings of varying age.
The Venus comes with a new Cocoon which provides a lie-flat, world-facing environment for infants. The UPPAbaby brand has also redesigned the design to let you attach two cocoons side by side.
Easy to Manoeuvre
A twin pushchair is among the most frequently used baby products, after a car-seat. It will be the baby’s home for a long time, so it is essential to make it easy to maneuver. The Roma Gemini was a favorite of our home testers due to the fact that it's light it folds down small and has excellent steering. It also comes with plenty of extras that other brands offer separately, such as the seat liner, which is padded and fleecey.
The Silver Cross Wave is another ideal choice for twins or siblings of varying ages, as it's designed to take two seats and car seats (it is also able to be used with 2 carrycots in mono mode). Its clever frame expands in size when you require the double seat but maintains one footprint when in mono mode which makes it easier for you to navigate narrow passageways.
Our testers were impressed by the style of this pushchair and its numerous features. But More Tips was also simple to use. It's got a clever fold that is a single-click and it's also compatible with most car seats so you can simply take them out and go. It's a bit long in double mode, but you can buy a "sidepack' to reduce it for PS45.
Convenient storage
A twin pushchair with a storage area that is easily accessible and easy to access will help you stay organised if you have more than one baby. Choose a model with an ample basket beneath to store all the additional accessories, such as baby changing mats, rain covers and nappy bags. It's also a great idea to incorporate an eating tray and a cup holder so that you don't have to reach behind your child to grab a snack or drink when they're hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs with a single seat in the front are great for children of varying ages, however they are more difficult 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 affordable and can be used with two infant car seats or bassinets in double mode.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 stroller is a twin stroller that is able to be used from birth. It works with two infant car seat or carrycots and also in double mode. It can be paired with the UPPAbaby piggyback board to allow it to be used by three children. In single-seat mode, it comes with plenty of storage space too as a large under-seat storage basket that's large enough to fit an enormous shopping bag. It comes with a massive canopy to provide incredible protection from the sun or rain, and it's also easy to check on your baby with the clever peekaboo hoods.
Comfortable for both babies
The most effective twin pushchairs are designed to keep both children content and comfortable while strolling. Find adjustable calf bars as well as padded seats and recline features. They will give your child the chance to relax and stretch out or sit straight and observe their surroundings.
It's also worth looking for a twin pram that has one handlebar to make it easier to steer the pram with one hand. This will let you navigate through busy shopping streets or make tight turns. Some double buggies have two handlebars however this may be difficult to control and may require you to use both hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs are able to accommodate various combinations of infant car seats and carrycots so you can adapt the stroller as your child grows. The Peach 7 is a great option for siblings of different age groups, since it has two seats that are suitable from birth, and an infant carrycot that faces the parent.
The UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board can be connected to the UPPAbaby vista 2 for use with twins, toddlers and a baby, or even three children. It is simple to fold and folds down compactly.
Tandem buggies provide more sleek appearance than side-byside buggies and are a great option for twins. One seat is padded and can recline to a full angle for infants, while the other is more upright and appropriate for toddlers. They can be transformed into one stroller by removing the seat in the front. They can be difficult to connect to public transport and might not be as sturdy as a single pushchair when moving across kerbs.
Certain models can fold smaller than others, which can 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 has a wide range of carrycot and infant car seats, so you can adapt 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 fabric stains, odours and the growth of mould. It will also extend the life of your pushchair.
Start by vacuuming the pushchair to get rid of dirt dust, crumbs and grime from all areas using a nozzle that is flexible attachment. This will help get into the crevices and seams of fabric parts, including the canopy, seat and basket.
After the vacuuming has been completed and the vacuuming is complete, follow the manufacturer's instructions to remove the seat covers pads, liners and pads off the frame of the chassis, and then washing them on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent suitable for infants. To avoid water damage and corrosion, ensure that all parts are dry prior to rebuilding.
To remove any hardened odours or sticky messes, you should 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 will identify any signs of wear and tear and enable you to repair them as soon as possible to minimize the chance of further problems.
