Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth
A sleek and stylish pushchair that expands into a twin with one click. In twin mode the clever frame is a bit smaller, but offers enough space for a shopping basket alongside each seat/carrycot. It can be used with two car seats or carrycots to accommodate siblings of different age.
The Venus comes with a baby Cocoon that provides a lie-flat, world-facing environment for infants. The UPPAbaby brand has also redesigned the design so that you can attach two cocoons together.
Easy to Manoeuvre
One of the most frequently used baby products is a car seat, a twin pushchair will be the baby's home for quite some time so it's crucial that it's easy to move. The Roma Gemini was a favorite of our home testers due to the fact that it's light, compact and has a great steering. It also comes with loads of extras that other brands don't sell separately, like an upholstered seat liner that is fleecey.
Silver Cross Wave is a great option for twins and siblings of various ages, as it can be used with two car seats or carrycots (it can also be used in mono mode). Its clever frame expands in width when you need to use the double seat, yet it remains a single footprint in mono mode, making it much easier to navigate narrow spaces than buggies that are side-by-side.
Aside from the appearance and has lots of extras the test group found that this pushchair really stood out for its ease of use. It folds easily in a single click and is compatible with the majority of car seat models. It can be a bit long when it's in double mode, but you can buy a'sidepack' for PS45 to make it more compact.
Convenient storage
A twin pushchair with a storage space that is easily accessible and convenient will help you stay organised for more than one child. Pick a model that comes with a large basket under the seat to store all the extra items like baby changing mats and nappy bag. It is also a good idea to incorporate an eating tray and a cup holder so that you aren't bending over behind your child to grab a snack or drink when they are hungry.
double buggy , with one seat behind the other, are ideal for siblings of varying ages but may be a little more difficult to manoeuvre through narrow spaces than side-by-side models. The CYBEX Gazelle S and Silver Cross Wave are the top tandem options for twins while the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is more affordable and can accommodate two infant car seat carriers or bassinets in double mode.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 stroller is a twin stroller that is able to be used from birth. It works with two infant car seat or carrycots and also in double mode. You can also add the UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board to allow it to be used by three children. In single-seat configuration, it offers plenty of storage space too, as well as an under-seat basket that's big enough for bags of shopping. It comes with a massive canopy for excellent protection from sun or rain and it's also a breeze 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 during their strolls. Be sure to look out for seats with padding, recline features and adjustable bar for the calf. They will give your child the opportunity to relax and stretch out or sit straight and observe their surroundings.
You should also look for twin strollers with one handlebar, which allows you to control the stroller one-handed. This will allow you to navigate through busy shopping streets or make tight turns. Double buggies may have two handlebars, however they can be difficult 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. For instance, the Peach 7 offers two world-facing seats that can be used from birth, a cosy parent-facing carrycot and an infant seat, making it an ideal option for siblings of different age.
Other alternatives include the UPPAbaby 2 which can be used with twins or a toddler and baby or even three kids by attaching the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board. It is easy to use and folds compactly.
Tandem buggies offer more sleek appearance than side-byside buggies and are a great option for twins. One seat is cushioned and reclines to a full angle for infants while the other is more upright and appropriate for toddlers. Some can be converted into a single pushchair by removing the front seat. Some aren't easy to fit on public transport, and may not be as stable when going between kerbs like a single-pushchair.
Certain models can fold down smaller than others. This is essential for those whose storage space is small. Egg2 is a beautiful option that can be used for one or two people. It also comes with a variety of carrycots and baby car seats so you can modify it as your twins get bigger. It's also available in a variety of colours and comes with an elegant contemporary design.
Easy to clean
Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your stroller in good condition for years to come. This will prevent issues like fabric stains, odours and mould growth, and extend the life of your pushchair.
Start by vacuuming your pushchair with a nozzle attachment that is flexible to remove dirt, crumbs and grime from all surfaces. This will enable you to get into all the crevices seams, seams and fabric parts such as the seat, canopy and the basket.
After the vacuuming has been completed and the vacuuming is complete, follow the manufacturer's instructions for removing the fabric seat covers pads, liners and pads from the frame of the chassis and washing them on a delicate cycle using mild detergent that is suitable for infants. Make sure that all components are dry prior to reassembling them to prevent corrosion or water damage.
To eliminate any odours that have become hardened or sticky messes, regularly clean the non-fabric parts of your twin stroller. This includes the wheels, hinges, and folding parts. If required, a silicone-based lubricant must be used in accordance with the recommendations of the manufacturer to ensure smooth and consistent movement of all components.
