Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth

The Venus comes with a new Cocoon which provides a lie-flat, world-facing environment for infants. UPPAbaby has even redesigned the design so that it is possible to attach two cocoons together.
Easy to Manoeuvre
A twin pushchair is one of the most commonly used baby products, right after a car-seat. It will be the baby’s home for a long time so it's essential to make it easy to move. Our home testers loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's lightweight, folds up small and has superb steering. It comes with lots of extras that other brands will charge separately.
Silver Cross Wave is a ideal choice for twins and siblings of different ages since it can be used with two car seats or carrycots (it can also be used in mono mode). Its clever frame expands widthways when you're required to use the double seat, but it remains a single footprint in mono mode so it's much easier to navigate narrow spaces than side-by-side buggies.
Our testers were impressed by the style of this stroller and its numerous features. It was easy to use. It's a smart folding mechanism that can be folded with a single click. it's also compatible with a lot of car seats, so it's easy to take them out and go. It's a little 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 a storage space that is easily accessible and practical will help you stay organised for more than one baby. Choose a model with a large basket underneath to store all the additional accessories such as baby changing mats rain covers, nappy bags and baby changing bags. A handy cup holder as well as snack tray are an excellent choice, as it will help you reach behind your kids for a drink and snack when they feel thirsty or hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs that have one seat ahead of the other, are great for children of different ages but may be a little more difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces than side-by-side models. The CYBEX Gazelle S and Silver Cross Wave offer the best tandem options for twins, while the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is more affordable and can be used with two infant car seats or bassinets in double mode.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an amazing twin stroller from birth. It can be used 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 configuration, it offers plenty of storage space and a large under-seat storage basket that's large enough to fit bags of shopping. It comes with a huge canopy that offers excellent protection from rain or sun. The clever peekaboo hoods allow you to keep an eye on your baby.
It is comfortable for both babies and toddlers.
The most effective twin pushchairs from birth will be designed to ensure that both children are comfortable while strolling. Find adjustable calf bars, padded seats and recline features. These features will allow your child to stretch and relax or stand straight to observe their environment.
It's also worth considering a twin pram with one handlebar to make it easier to steer one-handed. This will make it easier to navigate busy shopping streets and negotiate tight turns. Double buggies may have two handlebars however this can be harder to manage and may require you to use both hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs can accommodate different combinations of infant car seats and carrycots so you can alter the stroller as your baby grows. The Peach 7 is a great option for siblings of different ages, as it offers two seats that are suitable for babies from birth. It also has an infant carrycot that faces the parent.
The UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board can be attached to the UPPAbaby vista 2 for use with twins, a toddler and a baby, or three children. Its ultra-light frame that makes it easy to use in double mode, and it can be compactly folded for transport.
Tandem buggies provide more sleek appearance than side-by-side models and are a great choice for twins. lightweight twin buggy have a cushioned seat that can recline fully and is suitable for infants and the other has a more upright position and is suitable for toddlers. Some can be converted into a single pushchair by removing the front seat. They can be difficult to attach to public transport, and they may not be as sturdy as a single pushchair when moving between kerbs.
Certain models can fold smaller than others, which could be a good thing if you're low on storage space at home. Egg2 is a beautiful choice that can be used as either a single or double. It also has various carrycots and infant car seats so you can alter it as your twins get bigger. It's also available in a variety of colours and has an elegant contemporary design.
Easy to clean
Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your twin pushchair in good condition for many years to come. This will avoid problems like staining, odours, and mould growth. It can also prolong the life of your child's pushchair.
Begin by vacuuming the pushchair to remove dirt dust, crumbs and grime from all areas with a flexible nozzle attachment. This will help reach into all crevices and seams of fabric components including the canopy, seat and basket.
After vacuuming, remove the seat covers, pads, and liners and wash them in a gentle cycle using gentle detergent for infants. Make sure all parts are dry before reassembly to avoid corrosion or water damage.
Non-fabric parts, like the hinges, wheels, and folding components of your twin pushchair need to be regularly cleaned using a clean cloth to get rid of any sticky messes or hardened smells. If needed, a silicone-based lubricant should be used according to 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 soon as you can.
