Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth
The stylish and sleek pushchair can be converted to a twin in a single click. When it's twin, the frame is smaller but allows to store a shopping basket beside each seat/carrycot. It can accommodate two carrycots or car seats to accommodate siblings of different ages.
The Venus comes with a newborn Cocoon that creates a lie-flat and world-facing environment for infants. The UPPAbaby brand has also redesigned the design to let you attach two cocoons side by side.
Easy to Manoeuvre
One of the most used baby products following a car seat twin pushchairs will be the baby's mainstay for quite a while, so it's important that it's simple to maneuver. Our test subjects loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's lightweight, folds up tiny and has excellent steering. It also comes with plenty of extras that other brands offer separately, such as the seat liner, which is padded and fleecey.
Silver Cross Wave is a ideal choice 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). The frame's clever design expands in width when you need the double seat, yet it maintains the same footprint when in mono mode which makes it easier for you to navigate narrow passageways.
Aside from the fact that it looks great and has plenty of extras the test group found that this stroller really stood out for its simplicity of use. It folds easily in a single click and is compatible with the majority of car seat models. It's a bit big in double mode, but you can buy a "sidepack" to make it smaller for PS45.
Convenient storage
A twin pushchair with storage space that is easy to access and practical can help you stay organized for more than one child. Pick a model that comes with a large basket under the seat to store all of the extra items like baby changing mats and nappy bag. A handy cup holder and snack tray is also an excellent choice, as it will help you reach behind your children to grab drinks and snacks when they start to feel thirsty or hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs, which have one seat behind the other, are great for children of different ages but may be a little more difficult to maneuver in 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 Double that is able to be used from birth. It can be used with two infant car seats or carrycots, and can be used in double buggy with carrycot mode. It can be paired with the UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board to allow it to be used by three children. It has a lot of storage space in single-seat mode. There's also an under-seat basket that can hold an enormous shopping cart. It comes with a massive canopy for exceptional protection from the rain or sun and it's also a breeze to check on your babies with the clever peekaboo hoods.
Comfortable for both babies
The most effective twin pushchairs from birth are designed to keep both children comfortable during strolls. Look out for padded seats, recline features and adjustable bar for the calf. These will give your child the opportunity to stretch out and relax or stand up straight to take in their surroundings.
You should also look for twin strollers that have one handlebar, which makes it easier to steer the stroller one-handed. This will let you navigate through busy malls or take tight turns. Some double buggies come with two handlebars but this may be difficult to manage and may require two hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs are able to accommodate various combinations of infant car seats and carrycots so you can modify the stroller as your child grows. For example the Peach 7 offers two world-facing seats suitable from birth, a cosy parent-facing carrycot and an infant seat, making it a great choice for siblings of varying 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 has a super-slim frame that allows it to be used in double mode, and it can be folded down for easy transport.
Tandem buggies offer more sleek appearance than side-byside buggies and are a great option for twins. One seat is padded and reclines to a full angle for newborns, while the other is more upright and suitable for toddlers. Some can be made into one stroller by taking out the seat in front. Some are difficult to fit onto public transport, and may not be as stable going on kerbs, as a single-pushchair.
Some models are able to 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 double buggy with car seat or a single and comes with a variety of carrycot and infant car seat configurations so you can alter to your twins' needs as they get bigger. It is available in many colors and features a stylish contemporary style.
Easy to clean
Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your stroller in top condition for years to come. This will help prevent issues like staining, odours, and the growth of mould. It will also prolong the life of your child's pushchair.
Start by vacuuming your stroller using a nozzle that is flexible to remove dirt, crumbs and grime from all surfaces. This will allow you to access all crevices, seams and fabric components like the seat, canopy and the basket.
After vacuuming, remove the seat covers pads, liners, and pads and wash them in a gentle cycle using gentle detergent for infants. To prevent corrosion and water damage, ensure that all parts are completely dried before the reassembling.
Non-fabric components, for example the hinges, wheels and the folding parts of your twin pushchair need to be cleaned regularly using an uncluttered cloth to eliminate any sticky messes or clogged odours. If needed, apply silicone-based grease according to the recommendations by the manufacture to ensure smooth and continuous movement of all components. Monitoring your twin pushchair on a regular basis can help you recognize any signs of wear, which will allow you to fix them as quickly as possible.
