The 10 Most Terrifying Things About Twin Pushchair

Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth

The stylish and sleek pushchair expands 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 or carrycot. It can also accommodate two car seats or carrycots based on the age of your children.

The Venus also comes with a newborn cocoon to create a flat, comfortable environment and parent or world-facing option for infants. The UPPAbaby brand has also redesigned the design to allow you attach two cocoons together.

Easy to manoeuvre

One of the most used baby products after a car seat, a twin pushchair will be the baby's mainstay for quite some time so it's crucial that it's easy to manoeuvre. Our test subjects loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's light, folds compactly and has a great steering. It comes with lots of extras, and competitors charge separately.

The Silver Cross Wave is another great option for twins or siblings with different ages since it's designed to take 2 seats and car seats (it is also able to be used with two carrycots in mono mode). Its clever frame expands widthways when you're using the double seat, but maintains a single footprint in mono mode, which makes it much easier to navigate narrow spaces than buggies that are side-by-side.

Aside from the design that is stunning and has lots of extras, our testers found this pushchair really stood out due to its user-friendliness. It's easy to fold with a single click and compatible with most car seat models. It's a bit big in double mode, but you can purchase a'sidepack' to reduce it for PS45.

Convenient storage

If you have more than one child, a twin pushchair from birth with a practical and easily accessible storage space will help you keep everything organized. Choose a model with a large basket underneath to store all the other accessories like baby changing mats rain covers, nappy bags and baby changing bags. It is also a good idea to incorporate a snack tray and cup holder so that you aren't bending over behind your child for drinks or snacks when they feel hungry.

Tandem twin pushchairs that have one seat ahead of the other, are perfect for children of different age groups, but can be a bit more difficult to manoeuvre through small spaces than side-by-side models. The CYBEX Gazelle S or Silver Cross Wave are the most suitable 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 even in single-seat mode. It also has a huge under-seat storage basket that's big enough to accommodate an enormous shopping cart. It has a large canopy that provides excellent protection from sun or rain. The clever peekaboo hoods make it simple to keep an eye on your baby.

Comfortable for both babies

The best twin pushchairs from birth are designed to ensure both children are comfortable while strolling. Find adjustable calf bars as well as padded seats and recline features. They will give your child the opportunity to relax and stretch out or sit straight and observe their surroundings.

You should also look for twin strollers with a single handlebar, which allows you to control the stroller with one hand. This will allow you to navigate busy shopping streets and make tight turns. Some double buggies come with two handlebars but this may be difficult to control and may require two hands to push.

Some twin pushchairs are able to accommodate different combinations of infant car seats, so you can alter them as your babies develop. For example, the Peach 7 offers two world-facing seats suitable for babies from birth, a cozy parent-facing carrycot as well as an infant seat, making it the perfect option for siblings of different ages.

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 easy to use and folds compactly.

Tandem buggies offer more sleek appearance than side-byside buggies and are a great option for twins. They typically have one cushioned seat that can recline fully and is suitable for newborns and the other one has an upright design and can be used by toddlers. Some can be converted into a single and double stroller stroller by removing the seat in the front. They can be difficult to attach to public transport and may not be as stable as a single and double stroller pushchair when going between kerbs.

Certain models can fold smaller than others, which could be important if you're short on storage space at home. The egg2 is a stylish option that can be used as a single or double and has a wide range of infant car seats, so you can modify to your twins' needs as they get bigger. It is available in many colors and is stylish contemporary style.

Easy to clean

Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your twin pushchair in a good condition for many long time to come. This will help prevent issues like fabric stains, odours, and the growth of mould. It will also help prolong its life.

Start by vacuuming your stroller with a flexible nozzle attachment to remove dirt, crumbs and grime from every area. This will allow you to reach into all crevices and seams of the fabric components including the canopy, seat and basket.

After vacuuming, take off the fabric seat covers, pads, and liners and wash them on a gentle cycle using mild detergent suitable for babies. Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembly to avoid corrosion or water damage.

Non-fabric components, such as the hinges, wheels, and the folding parts of your twin pushchair need to be cleaned regularly using a clean cloth to remove any sticky messes or clogged smells. If necessary, use silicone-based grease according to the recommendations by the manufacturer to ensure smooth and consistent movement of all components. Regular inspections of your twin pushchair can reveal any signs of wear and tear, and allow you to repair them promptly to reduce the risk of further problems.
