Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth (Www.Pdc.Edu)
A sleek and stylish pushchair that can be expanded into a twin in one click. In twin mode the frame is a little narrower and still has room for a basket in front of each seat/carrycot. It can also take two car seats or carrycots based on the age of your child.
The Venus also comes with a newborn baby cocoon to create a flat, comfortable environment and parent or the 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
A twin pushchair is one of the most frequently used baby products, after a car-seat. It will be the baby's primary residence for a long period of time, so it’s important to ensure that it is easy to maneuver. Our test subjects loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's lightweight, folds up tiny and has excellent steering. It comes with lots of extras, which rival brands charge separately.
The Silver Cross Wave is another great option for twins or siblings with different ages since it's designed to accommodate 2 seats and car seats (it is also able to be used with 2 carrycots in mono mode). The clever frame expands in width when you need to use the double seat, but it remains a single to double stroller footprint in mono mode, which makes it more maneuverable through narrow passageways rather than side-byside buggies.
Our test subjects loved the design of this stroller and its many extras. It was simple to use. It folds in a single click and is compatible with all car seat models. It's a bit big in double mode, but you can buy a "sidepack' to reduce it for PS45.
Convenient storage
If you have more than one child and a twin pushchair for birth with a handy and easily accessible storage space will help you keep everything well-organized. Select a model with a large basket under the seat to store all of the extra items like changing mats for babies and a nappy bag. A convenient cup holder and snack tray are also an excellent addition, as it saves you reaching behind your kids for a drink and snack when they begin to feel hungry or thirsty.
Tandem twin pushchairs that have one seat in the front are great for siblings with different ages, but they are more difficult to maneuver through tight spaces. The CYBEX Gazelle S or Silver Cross Wave are the top tandem options for twins. However, the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers the most affordable option and can accommodate two infant car seat bassinets or infant carriers.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an incredible twin stroller that is available from birth. It can be used with two infant car seats or carrycots in double pushchair sale mode (you could also add the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board to make it suitable for three children). It's got plenty of storage space when used in single-seat mode. There's also an under-seat storage basket that's big enough to accommodate a huge shopping cart. It comes with a huge canopy that provides excellent protection from the rain or sun. The clever peekaboo hoods make it simple to keep an eye on your baby.
It is comfortable for both babies and toddlers.
The best twin pushchairs starting from birth will be designed to ensure both children are comfortable during strolls. Look for calf bar adjustable with padded seats, as well as recline features. These features allow your child to stretch and relax or sit straight up to observe their environment.
You should also look for twin strollers that have one handlebar that makes it easier to steer the stroller one-handed. This will allow you to navigate busy shopping streets and negotiate tight turns. Double buggies may have two handlebars however this isn't always easy to control and could require both hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs can be used with different combinations of infant car seats and carrycots. This means you can modify the stroller as your baby grows. The Peach 7 is a great option for siblings of different ages, as it offers two seats that are suitable from birth, and a carrycot facing the parent.
The UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board can be attached to the UPPAbaby vista 2 for use with twins, toddlers and a baby, or three children. It features a slim frame that allows it to be used in double mode and can be folded down for easy transport.
Tandem buggies are another good alternative for twins and provide an appearance that is more sleek than side-by-side models. One seat is cushioned and reclines to a full-angle for babies and the other is more upright and suitable for toddlers. Some of them can be converted to a single pushchair simply by removing the front seat. Some aren't easy to fit on public transport, and may not be as stable going up and down 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. The egg2 is a chic choice that can be used as a double pram buggy or single and comes with a variety of carrycots and infant car seats so that you can alter it as your twins develop. It's also available in a variety of colours and has a modern and stylish design.
Easy to clean
Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your twin pushchair in excellent condition for years to come. This will prevent problems like fabric stains, odours and mould growth, and prolong its lifespan.
Start by vacuuming your stroller with a flexible nozzle attachment to get rid of crumbs, dirt and grime from all areas. This will enable you to access all crevices, seams and fabric components like the seat, canopy, and basket.
After vacuuming, remove the fabric seat covers, pads, and liners and wash them on a gentle cycle using gentle detergent for infants. To avoid corrosion and water damage make sure that all components are completely dry prior to reassembling.
To eliminate any odours that have become hardened or sticky messes, you should regularly clean the non-fabric parts of your twin stroller. This includes the wheels, hinges, and folding parts. If needed, a silicone-based lubricant should 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 address these issues promptly to avoid further problems.
