15 Gifts For The Twin Pushchair Lover In Your Life

Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth

A sleek and stylish pushchair that expands into a twin with just one click. In twin mode the frame is narrower and still has room for a basket next to each seat/carrycot. It can also accommodate two carrycots/car seats depending on the age of your child.

The Venus comes with a newborn Cocoon that creates a lying-flat and open environment for infants. The UPPAbaby team has even tweaked the design to let you attach two cocoons side by side.

Easy to manoeuvre

A twin pushchair is among the most popular baby items, following the car seat. It will be the baby’s home for a long period of time, so it’s important to make it easy to move. The Roma Gemini was a favorite of our home testers because it is lightweight it folds down small and has excellent steering. It comes with a variety of extras that competitors charge separately.

The Silver Cross Wave is another ideal choice for twins or siblings 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 can be expanded in width when you require the double seat, but it has a single footprint when in mono mode, making it easier to navigate narrow passageways.

Apart from the design that is stunning and has plenty of extras the test group found that this pushchair really stood out due to its simplicity of use. It folds easily with just a click and compatible with most car seat models. It's a bit long when in double mode, but you can purchase a "sidepack" for PS45 to reduce it to a smaller size.

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 organised. Pick a model that has an enormous basket under to store all the additional accessories such as baby changing mats rain covers, nappy bags and baby changing bags. It's also a good idea to incorporate an eating tray and a cup holder, so you don't have to reach behind your child for drinks or snacks when they're hungry.

Tandem twin pushchairs with a single seat in the front are ideal for siblings with different ages, but they can be more difficult to maneuver through tight spaces. The CYBEX Gazelle S or Silver Cross Wave are the best double stroller tandem alternatives for twins. However the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers a more affordable option and can accommodate two infant car seat bassinets or carriers.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an amazing twin stroller from birth. It can be used with two infant car seats or carrycots in double to single buggy-mode (you could also add the UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board to make it suitable for three kids). It's a great size with plenty of storage space in single-seat mode. It also has a huge under-seat storage basket that's big enough to accommodate an enormous shopping cart. It comes with a massive canopy for exceptional protection from the rain or sun, and it's also easy to monitor your children with the clever peekaboo hoods.

Comfortable for both babies

The most effective twin pushchairs are designed to keep both children content and comfortable while strolling. Look for adjustable calf bars as well as padded seats and recline features. They will allow your child to stretch out and relax, or sit up straight to observe their surroundings.

It is also worthwhile to look for twin prams with one handlebar to make it easier to steer with one hand. This will let you navigate through busy malls or take tight turns. Some double buggies come with two handlebars, but they aren't always easy to control and could require that you use both hands to push.

Some twin pushchairs can accommodate different combinations of infant car seats and carrycots so you can adapt the stroller as your child grows. For example, the Peach 7 offers two world-facing seats suitable for babies from birth, a cozy parent-facing carrycot as well as a toddler seat - making it a great choice for siblings of various age.

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 features a slim frame that makes it easy to use in double pram and pushchair mode, and it can be folded down for easy transport.

Tandem buggies are another good option for twins and offer a more streamlined appearance than side-by-side models. They typically have one cushioned seat that reclines completely and is suitable for infants and the other one has a more upright posture and can be used by toddlers. Some can be made into one stroller by taking out the seat in front. They can be tricky to connect to public transport and may not be as stable as a single pushchair going across kerbs.

Some models are able to fold up smaller than others, which could be a good thing if you're low on storage space at home. The egg2 is an elegant choice that can be used for either a single or double. It also has a variety of carrycots and infant car seats, so you can adjust it as your twins get larger. It's also available in a variety 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 years to come. This will prevent issues such as fabric stains, odours and mould growth. It will also prolong the life of your child's pushchair.

Begin by vacuuming your pushchair with a flexible nozzle attachment to eliminate crumbs, dirt, and grime from every area. This will let you access all crevices seams, seams and fabrics such as the seat canopy, and basket.

Once the vacuuming process is completed, follow the manufacturer's guidelines for removing the fabric seat covers, pads and liners from the frame of the chassis, and then cleaning them on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent appropriate for babies. Make sure all parts are dry prior to reassembling to avoid corrosion or damage from water.

To remove any hardened odours or sticky messes, you should regularly clean the non-fabric components of your twin stroller. This includes the hinges, wheels and folding parts. If needed, a silicone-based lubricant should be used as recommended by the manufacturer to ensure smooth and constant movement of all components. Monitoring your twin pushchair on a regular basis can help you recognize any signs of wear, allowing you to repair them as soon as you can.
