The History Of Twin Pushchair
Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth
A stylish and sleek pushchair that expands into a twin with one click. In twin mode the frame is a little narrower and still has room for a basket in front of each seat or carrycot. It can also accommodate two carrycots/car seats depending on the age of your children.
The Venus comes with a new Cocoon which provides a lie-flat, world-facing environment for infants. The UPPAbaby brand has also redesigned the design to allow you attach two cocoons together.
Easy to Manoeuvre
One of the most used baby products after car seats twin pushchairs will be the baby's mainstay for quite a while, so it's important that it's easy to move. Our home-based testers loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's lightweight, folds up compactly and has a great steering. It comes with a lot of extras, and rival brands charge separately.
Silver Cross Wave is a great option for twins and siblings of different ages since 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 required to use the double seat, yet keeps a single footprint when in mono mode so it's easier to navigate narrow passageways than side-by-side buggies.
Our testers were impressed by the style of this pushchair as well as its numerous features. It was easy to use. It's easy to fold with a single click and is compatible with the majority of car seat models. It's a bit long when it's in double mode, but you can purchase a "sidepack" for PS45 to make it more compact.
Pushchairs And Prams
If you have more than one child and a twin pushchair for birth with a convenient and easily accessible storage area can help you keep things organized. Pick a model that has an enormous basket under for storing all the extra accessories like baby changing mats rain covers, nappy bags. A handy cup holder as well as snack tray are an excellent choice, as it helps you avoid reaching behind your kids for drinks and snacks when they begin to feel thirsty or hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs, which have one seat in front of the other, are great for children of different age, but they can be a bit more difficult to maneuver in small spaces than side-by-side models. The CYBEX Gazelle S or Silver Cross Wave are the best tandem options for twins. However the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers an affordable alternative and can accommodate two infant car seats bassinets or carriers.
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 can be used in double mode.

There's also an under-seat basket big enough to accommodate a huge shopping cart. It has a huge canopy that provides excellent protection from rain or sun and it's also a breeze to check on your baby by using the clever peekaboo-hoods.
Comfortable for both babies
The best twin pushchairs are made to keep both children entertained and comfortable on their strolls. Find adjustable calf bars as well as padded seats and recline features. These features will allow your child to relax and stretch out or sit straight up to observe their surroundings.
It's also worth looking for a twin pram that has one handlebar to make it easier to steer with one hand. This will let you navigate through busy malls or take tight turns. Double buggies may have two handlebars, however they can be difficult to control and could require you to use both hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs can accommodate 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 choice for siblings with varying age ranges, as it comes with two seats that are suitable for babies from birth. It also has a carrycot facing the parent.
The UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board can be attached to the UPPAbaby vista 2 to use with twins, toddlers and a baby, or three children. It features a slim frame that makes it easy to use in double mode and is folded down for easy transport.
Tandem buggies are a great option for twins. They offer an elegant appearance compared to side-by-side models. They typically have a cushioned seat that can recline fully and is suitable for newborns while the other is an upright design and is suitable for toddlers. Some can be made into one stroller by removing the seat in front. They can be difficult to connect to public transport, and they may not be as sturdy as a single pushchair travelling up and down kerbs.
Some models are able to fold up smaller than others, which can be important if you're short in storage space at home. The egg2 is a stylish choice that can be used as one or two people. It also comes with a range of carrycots as well as baby car seats so you can alter it as your twins get bigger. It comes in a variety of colours and has an attractive contemporary design.
Easy to clean
Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your twin stroller in great condition for years to come. This will avoid problems like fabric stains, odours and the growth of mould. It can also prolong the life of your child's pushchair.
Begin by vacuuming the seat to loosen up dirt dust, crumbs and grime from all areas with a flexible nozzle attachment. This will help get into all the crevices and seams of the fabric parts, including the seat, canopy and basket.
Once the vacuuming is complete, follow the manufacturer's guidelines to remove the seat covers, pads and liners from the frame of the chassis and cleaning them on a gentle cycle using mild detergent that is suitable for infants. Make sure all parts are dry prior to reassembling them to avoid corrosion or damage from water.
To eliminate any odours that have become hardened or sticky messes, regularly clean the non-fabric components of your twin stroller. This includes the hinges, wheels and folding components. If needed, apply silicone-based grease according to the recommendations by the manufacture to ensure smooth and consistent movement of all components. Regular inspections of your twin pushchair will identify any signs of wear and tear and allow you to address these issues as soon as possible to avoid future issues.
