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 but still allows to store a shopping basket beside each seat/carrycot. It can be used with two car seats or carrycots to accommodate siblings of various ages.

The Venus also includes a newborn cocoon to create a lie-flat environment that is a parent-facing or world-facing option for infants. The UPPAbaby brand has also redesigned the design so that it is possible to attach two cocoons.

Easy to Manoeuvre

One of the most frequently used baby products is a car seat, a twin pushchair will be the baby's home for quite a while, so it's important that it's simple to maneuver. The Roma Gemini was a favorite of our home testers because it is lightweight it folds down small and has excellent steering. It also comes with loads of extras that other brands offer separately, such as an upholstered seat liner that is fleecey.

The Silver Cross Wave is another excellent choice for siblings or twins of different ages as it's designed to fit two seats and car seats (it is also able to be used with two carrycots in mono mode). Its clever frame expands its width when you're using the double seat, but maintains a single double stroller footprint in mono mode, which makes it much easier to navigate narrow spaces than side-by-side buggies.

Our testers were impressed by the style of this pushchair and its numerous extras. It was user-friendly. It's got a clever, single-click to fold and it's also compatible with a lot of car seats so you can simply pop them in and go. It's a little long in double mode, but you can buy a "sidepack' to make it smaller 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 things well-organized. Select a model with an enormous basket under to store all the other accessories, such as baby changing mats, rain covers and nappy bags. It's also a great idea to incorporate the cup and snack tray to the holder so that you don't have to reach behind your child to get a snack or drink when they are hungry.

Tandem twin pushchairs, which have one seat in front of the other, are ideal for siblings of varying age, but they can be a little more difficult to manoeuvre through small spaces than side-by-side models. The CYBEX Gazelle S or Silver Cross Wave are the best tandem options for twins. However, the Evenflo Pivot Xpand double pushchairs offers a more affordable option and can accommodate two infant car seat bassinets or carriers.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an amazing twin stroller starting at birth. It works with two infant car seats or carrycots in second hand double buggy mode (you can even add the UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board to make it suitable for three children). In single-seat mode, it comes with plenty of storage space, as well as a large under-seat storage basket that's large enough to fit bags of shopping. It has a large canopy that provides excellent protection from the rain or sun. The clever peekaboo hoods make it simple to keep an eye on your baby.

Comfortable for both babies

The best twin pushchairs from birth will be designed to ensure that both children are comfortable while strolling. Be sure to look out for seats with padding recline features, recline features, and adjustable bar for the calf. They will give your child the chance to relax and stretch out or sit straight and observe their surroundings.

It is also worthwhile to look for compact twin stroller prams with one handlebar, making it easier to steer one-handed. This will allow you to navigate busy shopping streets and negotiate tight turns. Double buggies may have two handlebars, however these aren't always easy to control and may require both hands to push.

Some twin pushchairs are able to accommodate different combinations of carrycots and infant car seats, so you can adapt to your baby's needs as they grow. For example the Peach 7 offers two world-facing seats that can be used from birth, a comfortable parent-facing carrycot as well as a toddler seat, making it a great choice for siblings of varying age.

The UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board can be attached to the UPPAbaby vista 2 for use with twins, toddlers and a baby, or even three children. It features a slim frame that allows it to be used in double travel buggy mode and can be folded down for easy transport.

Tandem buggies are another good option for twins. They offer a more streamlined appearance than side-by-side models. They typically have one padded seat that reclines fully and is suitable for infants and the other one has a more upright position and can be used by toddlers. Some can be converted into a single pushchair by removing the front seat. Some are difficult to fit onto public transport, and they may not be as stable when going on kerbs, as a single-pushchair.

Certain models can fold up smaller than others, which could be important if you're short in storage space at home. The egg2 is a stylish option that can be used as a single or double and comes with a variety of carrycots and infant car seats, so you can alter to your twins' needs as they grow. It's also available in a range of colors and features an elegant contemporary design.

Easy to clean

Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your twin pushchair in a great condition for the years to come. This will help avoid issues such as fabric stains, odours and mould growth, and prolong its lifespan.

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

After the vacuuming has been completed and the vacuuming is complete, follow the manufacturer's instructions for removing the fabric seat covers, pads and liners from the chassis frame and machine cleaning them on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent appropriate for babies. Make sure that all components are dry prior to reassembling them to avoid water damage or corrosion.

Non-fabric parts, like the hinges, wheels and folding components of your twin pushchair need to be regularly cleaned using a clean cloth to remove any sticky residues or hardened odours. If needed, apply a silicone-based grease as recommended by the manufacture 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 address these issues as soon as you can to reduce the risk of more problems.
