Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth
A stylish and sleek pushchair that expands into a twin with one click. In twin mode, the frame is smaller but allows to store a shopping basket beside each seat/carrycot, or it can accommodate two carrycots or car seats to suit siblings of varying age.
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.
Easy to double pushchair is one of the most commonly used baby products, after a car-seat. It will be the baby’s home for a long period of time, so it’s important to make it easy to move. The Roma Gemini was a favorite of our home testers because it's light, folds small and has excellent steering. It also comes with plenty of extras that other brands sell separately, including an upholstered seat liner that is fleecey.
Silver Cross Wave is a ideal choice 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 size when you need the double seat but maintains one footprint when in mono mode which makes it easier for you to navigate narrow passageways.
In addition to the fact that it looks great and has plenty of extras we tested, this pushchair really stood out for its simplicity of use. It's easy to fold with just a click and is compatible with the majority of car seat models. It's a bit long when it's in double mode, but you can buy a "sidepack" for PS45 to make it smaller.
Convenient storage
A twin pushchair with a storage space that is easy to access and convenient will help you stay organised when you have more than one baby. Pick a model that has a large basket underneath to store all the other accessories like baby changing mats, rain covers and nappy bags. A convenient cup holder and snack tray are an excellent addition, as it helps you avoid reaching behind your children for a drink and 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 aren't always easy to maneuver around narrow spaces. The CYBEX Gazelle S or Silver Cross Wave are the best tandem choices for twins. However the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers a more affordable option and can accommodate two infant car seats bassinets or 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 seats or carrycots, and can be used in double mode. You can also add the UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board to make it suitable for three children. It's got plenty of storage space when used in single-seat mode. There's also an under-seat basket big enough to accommodate an enormous shopping cart. It has a huge canopy for exceptional protection from the sun or rain, and it's also easy to check on your baby by using the clever peekaboo hoods.
It is comfortable for both babies and toddlers.
The most effective twin pushchairs are designed to keep both children content and comfortable while strolling. Be sure to look out for seats with padding with recline features, as well as adjustable bar for the calf. These features will allow your child to relax and stretch or be seated straight up to watch their environment.
It's also worth looking for twin prams with one handlebar, making it easier to steer with one hand. This will help you to navigate busy shopping streets and make tight turns. Double buggies may have two handlebars, but this may be difficult to control and could require you to use both hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs can be used with different combinations of infant car seats and carrycots. This means you can alter 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 a toddler seat - making it the perfect choice for siblings of various age.
The UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board can be attached to the UPPAbaby vista 2 for use with twins, a toddler and a baby, or even three children. It is simple to use and folds compactly.
Tandem buggies are an excellent option for twins and offer a more streamlined appearance 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. They can be transformed into a single stroller by removing the seat in the front. Some are difficult to fit onto public transportation, and they might not be as stable going up and down kerbs as a single-pushchair.
Certain models can fold smaller than others, which could be a good thing if you're low in storage space at home. Egg2 is a beautiful option that can be used as either a single or double. It also comes with a variety of carrycots and baby car seats so you can modify it as your twins grow larger. 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 good condition for many years to come. This will prevent issues like staining, odours, and mould growth, and extend its life.
Start by vacuuming the pushchair to loosen up dirt, crumbs and grime in all areas, using a flexible nozzle attachment. This will help reach into all crevices and seams in the fabric components, including the canopy, seat and basket.
After vacuuming, remove the seat covers made of fabric pads, liners, and pads and wash them in a gentle cycle using mild detergent suitable for babies. To avoid water damage and corrosion make sure that all components are completely dry prior to reassembling.
Non-fabric parts, like the wheels, hinges and folding components of your twin pushchair must be regularly cleaned with a clean cloth to remove any sticky messes or clogged smells. If needed, apply a silicone-based grease, as suggested by the manufacture to ensure smooth and consistent movement of all components. Regular inspections of your twin pushchair will reveal any signs of wear and tear and enable you to fix these as soon as possible to avoid further problems.
