Twin Pushchair: What s The Only Thing Nobody Is Discussing
Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth
A stylish and sleek pushchair that can be expanded into a twin Buggy from birth with just one click. When it's twin, the frame is smaller but offers enough space for a basket of groceries alongside each car seat, or it can take two carrycots or car seats to accommodate siblings of various ages.
The Venus also comes with a newborn baby cocoon to create a lying-flat environment that is a parent-facing or the world-facing option for infants. The UPPAbaby brand has also redesigned the design so that you can attach two cocoons.
Easy to Manoeuvre
One of the most commonly used baby products following the car seat, a twin pushchair will be the baby's mainstay for a long time, so it's crucial that it's easy to move. Our test subjects loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's light, folds compactly and has a great steering. It comes with a lot of extras, and competitors charge separately.
Silver Cross Wave is a excellent choice for twins or siblings of different ages, as it can be used with two car seats or carrycots (it can be used in mono mode). The clever frame expands its width when you're using the double seat, yet it remains a single footprint in mono mode so it's much easier to navigate narrow spaces rather than side-byside buggies.
In addition to the appearance and comes with plenty of features we tested, this pushchair really stood out due to its ease of use. It's a smart, single-click to fold and it's compatible with all car seats so it's easy to put them in and go. It's a bit long in double mode, but you can purchase a'sidepack' to reduce it for PS45.
Convenient storage
A twin pushchair with storage space that is easily accessible and practical can help you stay organized for more than one child. Choose a model with a large basket underneath to store all the additional accessories like baby changing mats rain covers, nappy bags. It is also a good idea to incorporate an eating tray and a cup holder so that you don't have to reach behind your child for food or drinks when they feel hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs with a single seat in the front make great for children with different ages, but they are more difficult to maneuver around narrow spaces. The CYBEX Gazelle S or Silver Cross Wave are the top tandem options for twins. However, the Evenflo Pivot Xpand double stroller with infant car seat offers a more affordable option and can accommodate two infant car seat bassinets or infant carriers.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an amazing twin stroller starting at birth. It can be used with two infant car seats or carrycots in double infant strollers mode (you can also add the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board to make it suitable for three kids). It's a great size with plenty of storage space even in single-seat mode. There's also an under-seat basket big enough to hold an enormous shopping cart. It comes with a huge canopy that offers great protection from sun or rain. The clever peekaboo hoods allow you to keep your baby's attention.
It is comfortable for both babies and toddlers.
The best twin pushchairs are designed to keep both children entertained and comfortable during their strolls. Look for adjustable calf bars, padded seats and recline features. These features allow your child to stretch and relax or stand straight to observe their surroundings.
You should also look for twin prams with a single handlebar, which allows you to control the stroller using one hand. This will let you navigate through busy malls or take tight turns. Double buggies may have two handlebars but this can be harder to control and may require both hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs can be used with different combinations of infant car seats and carrycots, so you can alter the stroller as your child 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 with the parent facing.
Other alternatives include the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be used with twins, a baby and toddler or even three kids by attaching the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board. It features a slim frame that allows it to be used in double mode and is folded compactly for transport.
Tandem buggies are another good alternative for twins and provide an elegant appearance compared to side-by-side models. They typically have a cushioned seat that can recline fully and is suitable for newborns and the other one has an upright design and is suitable for toddlers. Some can be converted back to a single pushchair by removing the front seat. They can be difficult to attach to public transport and may not be as sturdy as a single pushchair when moving up and down kerbs.
Certain models can fold up smaller than others, which could be beneficial if you're strapped on storage space at home. The egg2 is a stylish choice that can be used as a single or double stroller for twins and has a wide range of carrycots and infant car seat configurations so you can alter it as your twins get bigger. It comes in a variety colours and has an attractive contemporary style.
Easy to clean
Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your twin pushchair in a excellent condition for years to come. This will help prevent issues like fabric stains, odours and mould growth, and prolong its lifespan.
Start by vacuuming your pushchair with a nozzle attachment that is flexible to remove dirt, crumbs and grime from all surfaces. This will help get into all the crevices and seams of the fabric components including the canopy, seat and basket.
Once the vacuuming is complete, follow the manufacturer's guidelines to remove the seat covers pads, liners and pads from the frame of the chassis, and then washing them on a gentle cycle with mild detergent that is suitable for infants. To prevent water damage and corrosion, ensure that all parts are completely dry prior to reassembling.
Non-fabric components, for example the wheels, hinges and folding components of your twin pushchair must be regularly cleaned with a clean cloth to remove any sticky messes or clogged odours. If required, use silicone-based grease according to the recommendations by the manufacture to ensure smooth and constant movement of all components. Checking your twin pushchair regularly will help you spot any signs of wear, which will allow you to fix them as quickly as possible.
