Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth
A stylish and sleek pushchair that expands into a twin in one click. When it's twin, the frame is smaller but has space for a basket of groceries alongside each car seat, or it can accommodate two carrycots or car seats to accommodate siblings of various ages.
The Venus comes with a baby Cocoon that provides a lie-flat, world-facing environment for infants. The UPPAbaby brand has also redesigned the design to allow it is possible to attach two cocoons together.
Easy to manoeuvre
A twin pushchair is one of the most commonly used baby products, after a car-seat. It will be the baby's primary residence for a long period of time, so it is essential to make it easy to move. The Roma Gemini was a favorite of our home testers due to the fact that it's light, folds small and has excellent steering. It also comes with plenty of accessories that rival brands don't sell separately, like an upholstered seat liner that is fleecey.
The Silver Cross Wave is another great option for siblings or twins with different ages since it's designed to accommodate 2 seats and car seats (it can also be used with 2 carrycots in mono mode). double pram pushchair expands in width when you need to use the double seat, yet keeps a single footprint when in mono mode, making it more maneuverable through narrow passageways than buggies that are side-by-side.
Our testers loved the look of this pushchair as well as its numerous extras. But it was also simple to use. It has a smart fold that is a single-click and it's also compatible with a lot of car seats, so it's easy to take them out and go. It's a bit big in double mode, however you can buy a "sidepack' to reduce it for PS45.
Convenient storage
A twin pushchair with storage space that is easily accessible and easy to access can help you stay organized if you have more than one baby. Select a model with a large basket under the seat to store all the extra items like baby changing mats and nappy bag. A convenient cup holder and snack tray is also an excellent choice, as it saves you reaching behind your children for drinks and snacks when they start to get thirsty or hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs that have one seat in the front make great for children of varying ages, however they aren't always easy to maneuver around 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 seats carriers or bassinets.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 stroller is a twin stroller that can be used from birth. It works with two infant car seats or carrycots, and can be used in double mode. You can add the UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board make it work for three children. In single-seat configuration, it offers plenty of storage space too as a large under-seat storage basket that's big enough for a large shopping bag. It comes with a large canopy for incredible protection from the sun or rain and it's also a breeze to check on your babies by using the clever peekaboo hoods.
Comfortable for both babies
The best twin pushchairs are made to keep both children happy and comfortable during their strolls. Look out for padded seats, recline features and adjustable bar for the calf. These will give your child the chance to stretch out and relax, or sit up straight to observe their surroundings.
It is also recommended to look for twin prams with one handlebar that makes it easier to steer the stroller with one hand. This will allow you to navigate busy shopping streets and navigate tight turns. Some double buggies come with two handlebars but this isn't always easy to control and may require both hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs are able to accommodate different combinations of carrycots and infant car seats, which means you can alter the pushchairs as your children develop. The Peach 7 is a great option for siblings of different age groups, since it has two seats that are suitable from birth, and a carrycot facing the parent.
Other alternatives include the UPPAbaby Vista 2 that can be used with twins, a baby and toddler or even three kids by attaching the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board. It is easy to use and folds up easily.
Tandem buggies are an excellent alternative for twins and provide a more streamlined appearance than side-by-side models. They usually have one cushioned seat that can recline fully and is suitable for newborns while the other is a more upright posture and can be used by toddlers. Some can be made into one stroller by removing the seat in the front. Some aren't able to be slid onto public transport, and may not be as stable when moving on kerbs, as a single-pushchair.
Some models fold up smaller than others. This is crucial if your home storage space is small. The egg2 is a stylish option that can be used as a double or single and comes with a variety of carrycot and infant car seats so that you can modify it as your twins grow. It's also available in a variety of colours and has a modern and stylish design.

Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your stroller in good condition for years to come. This will help prevent issues such as staining, odours, and the growth of mould and extend its life.
Begin by vacuuming the seat to loosen up dirt and grime, as well as crumbs and crumbs in all areas with a flexible nozzle attachment. This will let you reach into every crevice seams, seams and fabric parts such as the seat, canopy and the basket.
Once the vacuuming process is completed and the vacuuming is complete, follow the manufacturer's instructions to remove the seat covers pads, liners and pads off the chassis frame and machine cleaning them on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent appropriate for infants.
