Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth
The sleek and stylish pushchair can be expanded to twin in just one click. When it's twin, the frame is a bit smaller, but has space to store a shopping basket beside each car seat, or it can be used with two car seats or carrycots to accommodate siblings of different ages.
The Venus comes with a new Cocoon which 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 items, following a 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's lightweight, folds small and has excellent steering. It comes with lots of extras, which other brands will charge separately.
The Silver Cross Wave is another excellent choice for twins or siblings of varying ages, as it's designed to fit two seats and car seats (it can even be used with two carrycots in mono mode). The frame's clever design expands in width when you need the double seat, but it has a single footprint in mono mode which makes it easier for you to navigate narrow passageways.
Aside from the fact that it looks great and comes with plenty of features we tested, this stroller really stood out for its user-friendliness. It's got a clever, single-click to fold and it's compatible with all car seats, so it's easy to pop them in and go. It's a bit long when in double mode, but you can purchase a "sidepack" for PS45 to reduce it to a smaller size.
Convenient storage
A twin pushchair with storage space that is easy to access and easy to access will help you stay organised when you have more than one child. Choose a model that has a large storage basket under the seat to store all of the additional accessories like changing mats for babies and a nappy bag. A handy cup holder as well as snack tray are an excellent choice, as it helps you avoid reaching behind your children for drinks and snacks when they begin to feel hungry or thirsty.
Tandem twin pushchairs, which have one seat ahead of the other, are ideal for siblings of varying age groups, but can be a little more difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces than side-by-side models. The CYBEX Gazelle S or Silver Cross Wave are the top tandem options for twins. However the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers the most affordable option and can accommodate two infant car seats bassinets or infant carriers.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 stroller is a twin stroller that is able to be used from birth. It can be used with two infant car seat or carrycots and also in double mode. You can also add the UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board to make it work for three children. In single-seat mode, it has plenty of storage space and a spacious under-seat basket that's big enough to hold a large shopping bag. It comes with a large canopy to provide exceptional protection from the sun or rain and it's also a breeze to check on your babies with the clever peekaboo hoods.
double pushchair for both babies
The best twin pushchairs are made to keep both children entertained and comfortable while strolling. Find adjustable calf bars, padded seats and recline features. These will allow your child to stretch out and relax, or sit up straight to observe their surroundings.
It is also recommended to look for twin strollers that have one handlebar, which allows you to control the stroller using one hand. This will let you navigate through busy shopping streets or make precise turns. Some double buggies come with two handlebars, however they can be difficult to control and could require that you use both hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs can accommodate different combinations of infant car seats and carrycots, so you can modify the stroller as your baby grows. For example the Peach 7 offers two world-facing seats that can be used from birth, a cosy parent-facing carrycot, and an infant seat, making it a great choice for siblings of various age.
The UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board can be connected to the UPPAbaby vista 2 to use with twins, a toddler and a baby, or even three children. It is simple to use and folds compactly.
Tandem buggies have more sleek appearance than side-byside models and are a good option for twins. One seat is padded and reclines to a full-angle for newborns while the other is more upright and appropriate for toddlers. Some can be converted back into a single pushchair by taking off the front seat. Some aren't able to be slid onto public transport, and they may not be as stable going 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 option that can be used as a double or single and comes with a variety of carrycot and infant car seat configurations so you can alter it as your twins develop. It's also available in a variety of colors and features an elegant contemporary design.
Easy to clean
Regular cleaning and maintenance will keep your stroller in good condition for years to come. This will help prevent issues like staining, odours, and the growth of mould. It will also help prolong its life.
Begin by vacuuming your pushchair using a nozzle that is flexible to eliminate crumbs, dirt, and grime from all areas. This will help get into all the crevices and seams of the fabric components including the canopy, seat and basket.
After vacuuming, take off the fabric seat covers pads, liners, and cushions and wash them on an easy cycle using mild detergent suitable for babies. To prevent corrosion and water damage ensure that all parts are dry prior to reassembling.
Non-fabric components, such as the hinges, wheels, and the folding parts of your twin pushchair must be regularly cleaned with a clean cloth to get rid of any sticky messes or hardened smells. If required, use a silicone-based grease, as suggested by the manufacturer to ensure smooth and constant movement of all components. Regularly checking your twin pushchair will help you spot any signs of wear, which will allow you to repair them as soon as possible.
