The 10 Most Terrifying Things About Twin Pushchair

Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth

The stylish and sleek pushchair expands to a twin in a single click. In twin mode the clever frame is a bit smaller, but offers enough space to store a shopping basket beside each car seat, or it can be used with two carrycots or car seats to accommodate siblings of various age.

The Venus also comes with a newborn baby cocoon to create a flat, comfortable environment and parent or world-facing option for infants. The UPPAbaby team has even tweaked the design to allow you attach two cocoons side-by-side.

Easy to Manoeuvre

One of the most compact double stroller frequently used baby products after car seats, a twin pushchair will be the baby's home for a long time, so it's crucial that it's easy to move. The Roma Gemini was a favorite of our home testers because it's lightweight twin stroller, folds small and has a great steering. It comes with a lot of extras, which other brands will charge separately.

The Silver Cross Wave is another ideal choice for siblings or twins of different ages as it's designed to fit two seats and car seats (it can even be used with 2 carrycots in mono mode). The frame's clever design expands in width when you need a double seat, but it has a single footprint when you're in mono mode, making it easier to navigate narrow passageways.

Our test subjects loved the design of this stroller and its many extras. But it was also user-friendly. It has a smart, single-click to fold and it's compatible with all car seats, so you can just put them in and go. It can be a bit long when it's in double mode but you can buy a'sidepack' for PS45 to make it smaller.

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 ample basket beneath 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 is also an excellent addition, as it helps you avoid reaching behind your kids for an ice-cold drink or snack when they start to feel hungry or thirsty.

Tandem twin pushchairs, with one seat ahead of the other, are great 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 choices for twins. However, the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers the most affordable option and can accommodate two infant car seats carriers or bassinets.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an amazing twin stroller from birth and works with two infant car seats or carrycots in nipper double buggy mode (you can also add the UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board to make it suitable for three kids). It's got plenty of storage space in single-seat mode. There's also a large under-seat basket that can hold an enormous shopping cart. It comes with a huge canopy that offers great protection from rain or sun. The clever peekaboo hoods make it easy to keep an eye on your baby.

Comfortable for both babies

The best twin pushchairs from birth are designed to ensure that both children are comfortable while strolling. Be sure to look out for seats with padding, recline features and adjustable calf bars. They will allow your child to relax and stretch out or stand up straight to take in their surroundings.

It is also recommended to look for twin strollers that have one handlebar that makes it easier to steer the stroller one-handed. This will allow you to navigate through busy shopping streets or make tight turns. Some double buggies have two handlebars, but this isn't always easy to control and could require two hands for pushing.

Some twin buggy pushchairs are able to accommodate various combinations of carrycots and infant car seats, which means you can alter them as your babies develop. The Peach 7 is a great choice for siblings with varying age groups, since it has two seats that are suitable for babies from birth. It also has a carrycot with the parent facing.

The UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board can be attached to the UPPAbaby vista 2 for use with twins, a toddler and a baby, or three children. It features a slim frame that makes it easy to use in double mode and can be compactly folded for transport.

Tandem buggies offer more sleek appearance than side-by-side models and are a good option for twins. One seat is padded and reclines to a full-angle for newborns and the other is more upright and appropriate for toddlers. Some of them can be converted to a single pushchair simply by removing the front seat. Some are difficult to fit onto public transportation, and they might not be as stable when moving on kerbs, as a single-pushchair.

Some models are able to fold up smaller than others, which can be a good thing if you're low on storage space at home. Egg2 is a beautiful option that can be used for a single or a double. It also comes with a variety of carrycots and baby car seats so you can modify it as your twins grow bigger. It's also available in a range of colours and has an elegant contemporary design.

Easy to clean

Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your twin pushchair in excellent condition for years to come. This will help avoid issues like staining, odours, and mould growth and also prolong its lifespan.

Begin by vacuuming the pushchair to remove dirt and grime, as well as crumbs and crumbs in all areas, using a flexible nozzle attachment. This will allow you to get into all the crevices, seams and fabric components like the seat, canopy and the basket.

After vacuuming, remove the seat covers pads, liners, and cushions and wash them in the gentle cycle with gentle detergent for infants. Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembly to prevent corrosion or water damage.

Non-fabric components, such as the hinges, wheels and folding components of your twin pushchair should be regularly cleaned using a clean cloth to remove any sticky messes or hardened smells. If needed, a silicone-based lubricant must be used in accordance with the recommendations of the manufacturer to ensure smooth and constant movement of all components. Regular checks of your twin pushchair will identify any signs of wear and tear, and allow you to fix these as soon as possible to minimize the chance of future problems.
