Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth
The sleek and stylish pushchair expands to a twin in a single click. In twin mode, the frame is smaller, but still allows for a basket next to each seat or carrycot. It can also accommodate two car seats or carrycots based on the age of your children.
The Venus also comes with a newborn cocoon to create a lying-flat environment, and a parent or world-facing option for infants. The UPPAbaby brand has also redesigned the design so that it is possible to attach two cocoons.
Easy to Manoeuvre
A twin pushchair is among the most frequently used baby items, following the car seat. It will be the baby’s home for a long time, so it's essential to make it easy to move. The Roma Gemini was a favorite of our home testers because it's light, compact and has a great steering. It comes with a variety of extras, and rival brands charge separately.
Silver Cross Wave is a ideal choice for twins and siblings of various ages, as it can be used with two car seats or carrycots (it can also be used in mono mode). The clever frame expands widthways when you're using the double seat, but keeps a single footprint when in mono mode, which makes it easier to navigate narrow passageways rather than side-byside buggies.
Our test subjects loved the design of this pushchair as well as its numerous extras. However, it was user-friendly. It's easy to fold with a single click and is compatible with all car seat models. It's a bit long when in double mode but you can buy a "sidepack" for PS45 to make it smaller.
Convenient storage
If you have more than one child and a twin pushchair for birth with a convenient and easily accessible storage space can 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, nappy bags. It's also a great idea to add the cup and snack tray to the holder, so that you aren't bending over behind your child to grab a snack or drink when they're hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs that have one seat ahead of the other, are perfect for siblings of varying ages but may be a bit more difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces than side-by-side models. The CYBEX Gazelle S and Silver Cross Wave provide the most suitable tandem options for twins while the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is more affordable and can accommodate 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 that double as carrycots (you can even include the UPPAbaby piggyBack board to make it suitable for three kids). In single-seat mode, it comes with plenty of storage space too as an under-seat basket that's large enough to fit a large shopping bag. It comes with a large canopy that provides incredible protection from the sun or rain, and it's also easy to check on your babies with the clever peekaboo hoods.
It is comfortable for both babies and toddlers.
The most effective twin pushchairs are designed to keep both children happy and comfortable while strolling. Look out for padded seats recline features, recline features, and adjustable bar for the calf. These will allow your child to stretch out and relax, or sit straight and observe their surroundings.
It's also worth considering a twin pram that has one handlebar to make it easier to steer with one hand. This will allow you to navigate through busy shopping streets or make precise turns. Some double buggies have two handlebars but this isn't always easy to control and could require two hands for pushing.
Some twin pushchairs can accommodate different combinations of infant car seats and carrycots, so you can adapt the stroller as your baby grows. For lightweight double pushchair , 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 even three children. It has a super-slim frame that makes it easy to use in double mode and can be folded down for easy transport.
Tandem buggies are a great alternative for twins and provide an appearance that is more sleek than side-by-side models. One seat is padded and reclines to a full angle for infants, while the other is more upright and appropriate for toddlers. Some of them can be converted into a single pushchair by taking off the front seat. They aren't easy to attach to public transport, and they may not be as sturdy as a single pushchair when going up and down kerbs.
Some models can be folded up smaller than others. This is important when your storage space in your home is limited. The egg2 is a stylish choice that can be used as a double or single and offers a variety of carrycot and infant car seats so that you can modify 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 a great condition for years to come. This will help prevent issues like fabric stains, odours and the growth of mould and extend its life.
Start by vacuuming your stroller using a nozzle that is flexible to remove dirt, crumbs, and grime from every area. This will allow you to access all crevices, seams and fabric components such as the seat, canopy and the basket.
After vacuuming, remove the seat covers made of fabric pads, liners, and pads and wash them on a gentle cycle using gentle detergent for infants. To avoid corrosion and water damage, ensure that all parts are completely dried before reassembling.
To remove any hardened odours or sticky messes, you should regularly clean the non-fabric components of your twin stroller. This includes the hinges, wheels and folding parts. If necessary, use silicone-based grease according to the recommendations by the manufacture to ensure smooth and constant movement of all components. Checking your twin pushchair regularly can help you recognize any signs of wear, which will allow you to fix them as quickly as you can.
