The Roma Gemini was a favorite of our home testers because it's lightweight, folds small and has excellent steering. It also comes with loads of extras that other brands sell separately, including an upholstered seat liner that is fleecey.
The Silver Cross Wave is another great option for twins or siblings of varying ages, as it's designed to take two seats and car seats (it can also be used with two carrycots in mono mode).

Select a model with a large storage basket under the seat to keep all the extra accessories such as baby changing mats and nappy bag. It's also a great idea to include the cup and snack tray to the holder, so that you aren't bending over behind your child to get drinks or snacks when they're hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs, which have one seat in front of the other, are perfect for children of different age groups, but can be a little more difficult to manoeuvre through narrow spaces than side-by-side models.

There's also a large under-seat storage basket that's big enough to hold a huge shopping cart. It comes with a large canopy that provides incredible protection from the rain or sun and it's also a breeze to check on your baby by using the clever peekaboo hoods.
It is comfortable for both babies and toddlers.
The best twin pushchairs starting from birth are designed to keep both children comfortable during strolls. Look for calf bar adjustable as well as padded seats and recline features. These features allow your child to relax and stretch or sit straight up to observe their surroundings.

Double buggies may have two handlebars. However, they can be difficult to control and could require both hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs are able to accommodate various combinations of infant car seats and carrycots so you can adapt the stroller as your baby grows. The Peach 7 is a great choice for siblings with varying age groups, since it has two seats that can be used from birth, and a carrycot facing the parent.
Other options include the UPPAbaby Vista 2 that can be used with twins or a toddler and baby or even three kids by attaching the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board. It has a super-slim frame that allows it to be used in Double Stroller For Newborn Twins mode, and it can be compactly folded for transport.
Tandem buggies provide more sleek appearance than side-byside models and are a good option for twins. One seat is cushioned and reclines to a full angle for babies, while the other is more upright and appropriate for toddlers. Some can be converted into a single stroller by removing the seat in the front. Some aren't easy to fit on public transport, and they may not be as stable going on kerbs, as a single-pushchair.
Certain models can fold down smaller than others, which could be a good thing if you're low on storage space at home. The egg2 is a stylish choice that can be used as a single or double and offers a variety of carrycot and infant car seat configurations so you can modify to your twins' needs as they develop. It comes in a variety of colours and has an attractive modern design.
Easy to clean
Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your stroller in good condition for years to come. This will avoid problems like fabric stains, odours, and the growth of mould. It can also prolong the life of your child's pushchair.
Start by vacuuming your pushchair using a nozzle that is flexible to get rid of crumbs, dirt, and grime from every area. This will help get into the crevices and seams of the fabric parts, including the seat, canopy and basket.
Once the vacuuming is complete, follow the manufacturer's guidelines for removing fabric seat coverings, pads and liners from the frame of the chassis, and then washing them on a delicate cycle with mild detergent that is suitable for babies. To avoid water damage and corrosion, ensure that all parts are completely dried before rebuilding.
Non-fabric parts, like the hinges, wheels and the folding parts of your twin pushchair need to be regularly cleaned with an uncluttered cloth to eliminate any sticky messes or hardened smells. If required, a silicone-based lubricant must be used as recommended by the manufacturer to ensure smooth and constant movement of all components. Regularly checking your twin pushchair can help you identify any signs of wear, which will allow you to repair them as quickly as you can.
