Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth
The stylish and sleek pushchair expands to a twin in a single click. In pushchairsandprams , the frame is shorter, but it still has room for a basket beside each seat or carrycot. It can also accommodate two carrycots/car seats depending on the age of your child.
The Venus comes with a new Cocoon which creates a lying-flat and open environment for infants. The UPPAbaby team has even tweaked the design to allow you to attach two cocoons together.
Easy to Manoeuvre
A twin pushchair is one of the most popular baby products, after the car seat. It will be the baby's place of residence for a long time, so it is essential to make it easy to move. Our test subjects loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's light, folds small and has superb steering. It also comes with a variety of extras that rival brands offer separately, such as an upholstered seat liner that is fleecey.
The Silver Cross Wave is another excellent choice for siblings or twins of varying ages, as it's designed to take 2 seats and car seats (it can also be used with two carrycots in mono mode). The clever frame expands widthways when you're required to use the double seat, yet it remains a single footprint in mono mode, which makes it easier to navigate narrow passageways rather than side-byside buggies.
Our testers were impressed by the style of this pushchair and its many extras. However, it was user-friendly. It folds easily with just a click and compatible with most car seat models. It's a bit long in double mode, however 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 convenient will help you stay organised when you have more than one child. Choose a model with an ample basket beneath for storing all the extra accessories such as baby changing mats rain covers, nappy bags and baby changing bags. It is also a good idea to incorporate a snack tray and cup holder, so you aren't bending over behind your child to grab drinks or snacks when they feel hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs, which have one seat in front of the other, are ideal for siblings of varying age, but they can be a little more difficult to maneuver in tight spaces than side-byside 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 be used with two infant car seats or bassinets in double mode.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an amazing twin stroller from birth. It works with two infant car seats or carrycots in double-mode (you could also include the UPPAbaby piggyBack board to make it suitable for three kids). In single-seat mode, it comes with plenty of storage space too and a large under-seat storage basket that's large enough to fit an enormous shopping bag. It has a large canopy that offers excellent protection from the sun or rain. The clever peekaboo hoods make it easy to keep your baby's attention.
It is comfortable for both babies and toddlers.
The best twin pushchairs starting from birth are designed to keep both children at ease during strolls. Look for calf bar adjustable with padded seats, as well as recline features. They will allow your child to stretch out and relax, or sit up straight to observe their surroundings.
It's also worth looking for a twin pram with a single handlebar to make it easier to steer one-handed. This will allow you to navigate through busy malls or take tight turns. Some double buggies come with two handlebars. However, they can be difficult to control and could require that you use both hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs are able to accommodate different combinations of carrycots and infant car seats, so you can modify them as your babies develop. The Peach 7 is a great choice for siblings with varying age groups, since it has two seats that can be used for babies from birth. It also has a carrycot with the parent facing.
Other alternatives include the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be used with twins or a toddler and a baby or even three children by attaching the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board. 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 are an excellent alternative for twins and provide an appearance that is more sleek than side-by-side models. One seat is padded and reclines to a full-angle for newborns while the other is more upright and appropriate for toddlers. Some of them can be converted to a single pushchair simply by taking off the front seat. They aren't easy to connect to public transport and may not be as stable as a single pushchair going across kerbs.
Certain models can fold up smaller than others. This is crucial when your storage space in your home is restricted. The egg2 is a chic option that can be used as a double or a single and offers a variety of carrycot and infant car seats, so you can alter to your twins' needs as they develop. It comes in a variety of colors and features a stylish contemporary style.
Easy to clean
Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your twin pushchair in a great condition for the years to come. This will help avoid issues like fabric stains, odours and the growth of mould and extend its life.
Begin by vacuuming your pushchair using a nozzle that is flexible to eliminate crumbs, dirt, and grime from every area. This will let you reach into every crevice seams, seams and fabric parts like the seat, canopy and the basket.
