Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth
The sleek and stylish pushchair can be converted to a twin in just one click. In twin mode the frame is narrower and still has room for a basket next to each seat/carrycot. It can also take two car seats/car carrycots depending on the age of your children.
The Venus comes with a new Cocoon which creates a lying-flat and open environment for infants. The UPPAbaby brand has also redesigned the design to let you attach two cocoons together.
Easy to manoeuvre
A twin pushchair is one of the most frequently used baby items, following the car seat. It will be the baby’s home for a long 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 is lightweight, folds small and has excellent steering. It comes with lots of extras that competitors charge separately.
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 be used in mono mode). The clever frame expands in width when you require the double seat, but it has a single footprint when in mono mode, making it easier to navigate narrow passageways.
In addition to the appearance and comes with plenty of features we tested, this model stood out for its simplicity of use. It folds in a single click and compatible with most car seat models. It's a little long in double mode, but you can buy a "sidepack' to reduce it for PS45.
Convenient storage
If you have more than one child, a twin pushchair from birth with a convenient and easily accessible storage space can help you keep things well-organized. Select a model with an enormous basket under to store all the additional accessories such as baby changing mats rain covers, nappy bags. A handy cup holder as well as snack tray are an excellent choice, as it saves you reaching behind your children for an ice-cold drink or snack when they start to feel thirsty or hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs with one seat in the front are great for siblings with different ages, but they can be more difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces. The CYBEX Gazelle S and Silver Cross Wave provide the most suitable tandem options for twins while the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is more budget-friendly and can take two infant car seats or bassinets in double mode.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an amazing twin stroller from birth. It works with two infant car seats or carrycots in double-mode (you can even add the UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board to make it suitable for three children). In single-seat mode, it comes with plenty of storage space as a large under-seat storage basket that's big enough to hold an enormous shopping bag. It features a large canopy that provides excellent protection from sun or rain. The clever peekaboo hoods allow you to keep your baby's attention.
It is comfortable for both babies and toddlers.
The best twin pushchairs are made to keep both children content and comfortable while strolling. Look out for padded seats with recline features, as well as adjustable calf bars. These will allow your child to stretch out and relax or stand up straight to take in their surroundings.
It is also worthwhile to look for a twin pram that has one handlebar, making it easier to steer with one hand. This will help you to navigate busy shopping streets and navigate tight turns. Double buggies may have two handlebars, but they can be difficult to control and may require you to use both hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs can accommodate different combinations of infant car seats and carrycots. This means you can modify the stroller as your child grows. For example the Peach 7 offers two world-facing seats that can be used for babies from birth, a cozy parent-facing carrycot as well as an infant seat, making it an ideal option for siblings of different age.
Other alternatives include the UPPAbaby 2 which 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 compactly.
Tandem buggies are another good option for twins and offer an appearance that is more sleek than side-by-side models. One seat is cushioned and reclines to a full-angle for newborns, while the other is more upright and appropriate for toddlers. Some can be converted to a single pushchair simply by removing the front seat. pushchairs double can be difficult to connect to public transport and may not be as sturdy as a single pushchair travelling across kerbs.
Some models can be folded down smaller than others. This is essential when your storage space in your home is restricted. The egg2 is a stylish option that can be used as a single or double and has a wide range of carrycots and infant car seats, so you can alter it as your twins grow. It's also available in a variety of colors and features a modern and stylish design.
Easy to clean
Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your twin pushchair in excellent condition for long time to come. This will avoid issues such as fabric stains, odours, and mould growth. It will also prolong the life of your child's pushchair.
Start by vacuuming the pushchair to remove dirt, crumbs and grime in all areas, using a flexible nozzle attachment. This will allow you to get into the crevices and seams of fabric components including the seat, canopy and basket.
Once the vacuuming process is completed Follow the manufacturer's instructions for removing the fabric seat covers, pads and liners from the chassis frame and machine washing them on a delicate cycle with a mild detergent appropriate for babies. To avoid water damage and corrosion make sure that all components are completely dried before the reassembling.
Non-fabric parts, like the hinges, wheels, and folding components of your twin pushchair should be regularly cleaned using a clean cloth to get rid of any sticky messes or clogged odours. If necessary an lubricant based on silicone should be used in accordance with the recommendations of the manufacturer to ensure smooth and constant movement of all components. Regularly checking your twin pushchair can help you identify any signs of wear, allowing you to repair them as quickly as possible.
