Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth

The sleek and stylish pushchair expands to a twin in a single click. In twin mode the frame is smaller, but still allows for a basket beside each seat or carrycot. It can also hold two car seats/car carrycots depending on the age of your child.

The Venus also includes a newborn cocoon to create a flat, comfortable environment and parent or the world-facing option for infants. UPPAbaby has even redesigned the design so that you can connect two cocoons.

Easy to maneuver

A twin pushchair is one of the most frequently used baby products, right after a car-seat. It will be the baby’s home for a long time, so it’s important to make it easy to move. The Roma Gemini was a favorite of our home testers due to the fact that it's lightweight it folds down small and has a great steering. It also comes with a variety of extras that other brands offer separately, such as the seat liner, which is padded and fleecey.

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 frame's clever design expands in width when you need a double seat, yet it maintains the same footprint when you're in mono mode, making it easier to navigate narrow passageways.

Apart from the appearance and has plenty of extras, our testers found this pushchair really stood out for its ease of use. It's got a clever fold that is a single-click and it's compatible with all car seats so you can simply take them out and go. It's a little long when it's in double mode, but you can purchase a "sidepack" for PS45 to make it more compact.

Convenient storage

If you have more than one child and a twin pushchair for birth with a convenient and easily accessible storage area will help you keep everything organised. Select a model with an ample basket beneath for storing all the extra accessories, such as baby changing mats rain covers, nappy bags and baby changing bags. It's also a good idea to incorporate the cup and snack tray to the holder so that you don't have to reach behind your child to get drinks or snacks when they feel hungry.

Tandem twin pushchairs that have one seat in front of the other, are great for children of different ages but may be a bit more difficult to maneuver through tight spaces than side-byside models. The CYBEX Gazelle S or Silver Cross Wave are the top tandem options for twins. However, the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers an affordable alternative and can accommodate two infant car seats carriers or bassinets.

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 in double mode. You can also add the UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board make it suitable for three children. In single-seat mode, it comes with plenty of storage space too and a spacious under-seat basket that's large enough to fit a large shopping bag. It has a large canopy that offers excellent protection from rain or sun. The clever peekaboo hoods make it simple to keep an eye on your child.

Baby is a comfortable fit for both

The best twin pushchairs are made to keep both children happy and comfortable on their strolls. Be sure to look out for seats with padding with recline features, as well as adjustable calf bars. These will give your child the opportunity to relax and stretch out or stand up straight to take in their surroundings.

It's also worth considering a twin pram with one handlebar, making it easier to steer the pram with one hand. This will allow you to navigate through busy malls or take tight turns. Some double stroller with infant car seat buggies come with two handlebars but this may be difficult to control and could require 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 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 a toddler seat - making it the perfect choice for siblings of varying age.

Other options include the UPPAbaby Vista 2 that can be used with twins or a toddler and baby or even three kids by affixing the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board. It is easy to fold and folds down compactly.

Tandem buggies provide a more streamlined look than side-byside buggies and are a great option for twins. One seat is cushioned and can recline to a full angle for newborns and the other is more upright and appropriate for toddlers. Some can be converted back into a single pushchair by taking the front seat. Some are difficult to fit onto public transportation, and they might not be as stable going between kerbs like a single-pushchair.

Some models fold into smaller sizes than others. This is crucial when your storage space in your home is restricted. The egg2 is a stylish option that can be used for either a single or double. It also has a range of carrycots as well as infant car seats so you can adjust it as your twins get larger. It comes in a variety colors and is stylish contemporary style.

Easy to clean

Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your twin pushchair in great condition for long time to come. This will prevent issues such as staining, odours, and mould growth and also extend its life.

Start by vacuuming the pushchair to get rid of dirt dust, crumbs and grime from all areas using a nozzle that is flexible attachment. This will help get into all the crevices and seams of fabric components, including the seat, canopy and basket.

After vacuuming, remove the seat covers made of fabric pads, liners, and cushions and wash them on a gentle cycle using mild detergent suitable for babies. To prevent water damage and corrosion ensure that all parts are dry prior to the reassembling.

Non-fabric components, for example the hinges, wheels and folding components of your twin pushchair must be cleaned regularly using a clean cloth to remove any sticky residues or hardened odours. If required, use a silicone-based grease, as suggested by the manufacturer to ensure smooth and consistent movement of all components. Regularly checking your twin pushchair can help you identify any signs of wear, which will allow you to fix them as quickly as you can.
