Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth
A sleek and stylish pushchair that can expand into a twin with just one click. In twin mode, the frame is a bit smaller, but allows for a shopping basket alongside each seat/carrycot. It can accommodate two carrycots or car seats to suit siblings of varying age.
The Venus also comes with a newborn baby cocoon to create a lie-flat environment that is a parent-facing or world-facing option for infants. The UPPAbaby team has even updated the design so that it is possible to attach two cocoons together.
Easy to manoeuvre
A twin pushchair is one of the most frequently used baby products, right after the car seat. It will be the baby's place of residence for a long time, so it is essential to ensure that it is easy to maneuver. Our test subjects loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's light, folds compactly and has a great steering. It comes with a variety of extras, which other brands will charge separately.
The Silver Cross Wave is another excellent choice for siblings or twins with different ages since it's designed to fit two seats and car seats (it is also able to be used with 2 carrycots in mono mode). The clever frame can be expanded in width when you need a double seat, yet it maintains the same footprint when you're in mono mode which makes it easier for you to navigate narrow passageways.
Apart from the appearance and comes with plenty of features we tested, this stroller really stood out for its ease of use. It's easy to fold in a single click and is compatible with the majority of 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 storage space that is easily accessible and convenient will help you stay organised when you have more than one child. Select a model with a large basket under the seat to keep all the extra items like changing mats for babies and a nappy bag. It's also a good idea to add a snack tray and cup holder so that you don't have to reach behind your child for food or drinks when they are 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 through narrow spaces. The CYBEX Gazelle S or Silver Cross Wave are the best tandem options for twins. However the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers the most affordable option and can accommodate two infant car seat bassinets or infant carriers.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 stroller is a twin stroller that can be used from birth. It can be used with two infant car seat or carrycots and in double mode. You can add the UPPAbaby piggyback board to allow it to be used by three children. It's got plenty of storage space when used in single-seat mode. It also has a huge under-seat basket that can accommodate a large shopping cart. It comes with a large canopy to provide excellent protection from rain or sun and it's also simple to check on your baby with the clever peekaboo hoods.
Baby is a comfortable fit for both
The best twin pushchairs are designed to keep both children happy and comfortable while strolling. Look for adjustable calf bars with padded seats, as well as recline features. These features allow your child to stretch and relax or be seated straight up to watch their surroundings.
You should also look for twin strollers with a single handlebar, which allows you to control the stroller using one hand. This will allow you to navigate through busy malls or take tight turns. Double buggies may have two handlebars however this may be difficult to control and could require both hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs can accommodate various combinations of infant car seats, which means you can modify them as your babies develop. The Peach 7 is a great choice for siblings with varying age groups, since it has two seats that are suitable from birth and a carrycot with the parent facing.
The UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board can be attached to the UPPAbaby Vista 2 for use with twins, toddlers and a baby, or even three children. It features a slim frame that makes it easy to use in double mode and can be folded compactly for transport.
Tandem buggies provide a more streamlined look than side-by-side models and are a great choice for twins. One seat is padded and reclines to a full-angle for newborns and the other is more upright and appropriate for toddlers. They can be transformed into one stroller by taking out the seat in the front. Some are difficult to fit onto public transportation, and they might not be as stable going on kerbs, as a single-pushchair.
Certain models can fold up smaller than others. This is essential for those whose storage space is small. The egg2 is a stylish choice that can be used as one or two people. It also comes with various carrycots and infant car seats, so you can adjust it as your twins grow larger. 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 long time to come. This will help prevent issues such as staining, odours, and mould growth and also extend the life of your pushchair.
Start by vacuuming double buggy to get rid of dirt, crumbs and grime in all areas using a nozzle that is flexible attachment. This will allow you to reach into all crevices and seams of the fabric parts, including the canopy, seat and basket.
After vacuuming, take off the seat covers made of fabric pads, liners, and pads and wash them in a gentle cycle using a mild detergent for babies. To prevent water damage and corrosion, ensure that all parts are dry prior to the reassembling.
To remove any hardened odours or sticky messes, regularly clean the non-fabric parts of your twin stroller. This includes the hinges, wheels, and folding components. If necessary, use silicone-based grease according to the recommendations by the manufacturer to ensure smooth and consistent 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 quickly as possible.
