Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth
A sleek and stylish pushchair that can expand into a twin with one click. In twin mode, the frame is smaller but offers enough space for a basket of groceries alongside each seat/carrycot. It can be used with two carrycots or car seats to accommodate siblings of different age.
The Venus also includes a newborn cocoon to create a lie-flat environment, and a parent or world-facing options for infants. The UPPAbaby brand has also redesigned the design so that you can connect two cocoons together.
Easy to twin buggy 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 important to ensure that it is easy to maneuver. The Roma Gemini was a favorite of our home testers because it is lightweight, compact and has a great steering. It also comes with a variety of extras that other brands offer separately, such as an upholstered seat liner that is fleecey.
Silver Cross Wave is a great option for twins and siblings of different ages, because it can be used with two car seats or carrycots (it can also be used in mono mode). The frame's clever design can be expanded in width when you need the double seat but maintains one footprint when you're in mono mode, making it easier to navigate narrow passageways.
Our testers loved the look of this stroller and its numerous extras. However, it was simple to use. It folds easily with just a click and is compatible with the majority of car seat models. It's a little long in double mode, however you can buy a "sidepack' to reduce it for PS45.
Convenient storage
If you have more than one child and a twin pushchair for birth with a handy and easily accessible storage area will help you keep things well-organized. 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 good idea to add a snack tray and cup holder, so you do not have to reach behind your child for drinks or snacks when they feel hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs, with one seat in front of the other, are perfect for children of different ages but may be a bit more difficult to maneuver through tight spaces than side-byside 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 accommodate two infant car seat carriers or bassinets in double mode.
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 even 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 basket big enough to accommodate an enormous shopping cart. It comes with a large canopy that provides excellent protection from sun or rain and it's also simple to check on your babies with the clever peekaboo hoods.
Baby is a comfortable fit for both
The best twin pushchairs are made 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. They will allow your child to stretch out and relax, or stand up straight to take in their surroundings.
It's also worth looking for twin prams with a single handlebar to make it easier to steer the pram with one hand. This will allow you to navigate through busy malls or take tight turns. Double buggies may have two handlebars, however they aren't always easy to control and may require both hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs are able to accommodate various combinations of infant car seats and carrycots, so you can modify the stroller as your child grows. The Peach 7 is a great option for siblings of different age ranges, as it comes with two seats that can be used from birth, and a carrycot with the parent facing.
The UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board can be connected to the UPPAbaby Vista 2 for 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 compactly folded for transport.
Tandem buggies provide a more streamlined look than side-by-side models and are a great choice for twins. They typically have one cushioned seat that can recline fully and is suitable for infants and the other one has a more upright posture and can be used by toddlers. Some can be converted back into a single pushchair by taking off the front seat. Some aren't easy to fit on public transport, and may not be as stable when traveling up and down kerbs as a single-pushchair.
Some models fold into smaller sizes than others. This is important if your home storage space is restricted. The egg2 is a chic choice that can be used as a double or a single and comes with a variety of carrycots and infant car seat configurations so you can adapt to your twins' needs as they grow. It's also available in a variety of colours and comes with an elegant contemporary design.
Easy to clean
Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your twin pushchair in good condition for many long time to come. This will prevent issues like staining, odours, and the growth of mould. It can also extend the life of your pushchair.
Begin by vacuuming the pushchair to remove dirt dust, crumbs and grime from all areas with a flexible nozzle attachment. This will enable you to access all crevices seams, seams and fabrics such as the seat, canopy and the basket.
After vacuuming, take off the seat covers, pads, and liners and wash them on a gentle cycle using gentle detergent for infants. Make sure that all components are dry prior to reassembling to avoid water damage or corrosion.
Non-fabric components, for example the hinges, wheels, and folding components of your twin pushchair must be cleaned regularly using a clean cloth to remove any sticky messes or hardened odours. If required, a silicone-based lubricant should be used as recommended by the manufacturer to ensure smooth and consistent movement of all components. Regularly checking your twin pushchair will help you spot any signs of wear, allowing you to repair them as soon as you can.
