The 10 Most Scariest Things About Twin Pushchair

Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth

The stylish and sleek pushchair can be expanded to twin in a single click. In twin mode, the frame is smaller, but still allows for a basket in front of each seat/carrycot. It can also accommodate two car seats or carrycots based on the age of your child.

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. UPPAbaby have even rejigged the design to let you attach two cocoons side by side.

Easy to Manoeuvre

A twin pushchair is among the most popular baby products, after a car-seat. It will be the baby's primary residence for a long period of time, so it’s important to ensure that it is easy to maneuver. Our home-based testers loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's light, folds tiny and has excellent steering. It comes with lots of extras, and other brands will charge separately.

The Silver Cross Wave is another great option for siblings or twins of different ages as it's designed to fit two seats and car seats (it can also be used with two carrycots in mono mode). The clever frame can be expanded in width when you need a double seat, yet it maintains the same footprint in mono mode which makes it easier to navigate narrow passageways.

Our testers were impressed by the style of this pushchair and its numerous extras. It was simple to use. It folds easily in a single click and is compatible with the majority of car seat models. It's a little long when it's in double buggy converts to single mode but you can purchase a "sidepack" for PS45 to make it smaller.

Convenient storage

If you have more than one child and a twin pushchair for birth with a handy and easily accessible storage space can help you keep things organised. Pick a model that has a large basket underneath to store all the additional accessories such as baby changing mats rain covers, nappy bags. It is also a good idea to include the cup and snack tray to the holder, so that you don't have to reach behind your child to get a snack or drink when they're hungry.

Tandem twin pushchairs with a single seat in the front are great for children with different ages, but they can be more difficult to maneuver around narrow spaces. The CYBEX Gazelle S or Silver Cross Wave are the top tandem choices for twins. However, the Evenflo Pivot Xpand double infant stroller offers an affordable alternative and can accommodate two infant car seats carriers or bassinets.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an amazing twin stroller from birth and works with two infant car seats or carrycots in double pushchair with car seat-mode (you can even add the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board to make it suitable for three children). In single-seat mode, it comes with plenty of storage space too, as well as a large under-seat storage basket that's big enough to hold an enormous shopping bag. It comes with a large canopy that provides exceptional protection from the sun or rain, and it's also easy to check on your babies with the clever peekaboo hoods.

Comfortable for both babies

The most effective twin pushchairs from birth are designed to ensure that both children are comfortable during strolls. Look out for padded seats with recline features, as well as adjustable calf bars. They will give your child the opportunity to relax and stretch out or sit straight and observe their surroundings.

It is also worthwhile to look for a twin pram with one handlebar, making it easier to steer one-handed. This will let you navigate through busy malls or take tight turns. Some double buggies have two handlebars. However, they can be difficult to control and could require both hands to push.

Some lightweight twin stroller twin buggy (related) pushchairs are able to accommodate different combinations of carrycots and infant car seats so you can modify them as your babies grow. The Peach 7 is a great choice for siblings with varying ages, as it offers two seats that can be used for babies from birth. It also has a carrycot with the parent facing.

Other options include the UPPAbaby Vista 2 that can be used with twins, a baby and toddler or even three kids by attaching the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board. It is simple to fold and folds down compactly.

Tandem buggies have a more streamlined look than side-by-side models 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 suitable for toddlers. Some can be converted into a single stroller by removing the seat in the front. They can be difficult to connect to public transport and may not be as stable as a single pushchair moving across kerbs.

Some models can be folded into smaller sizes than others. This is important for those whose storage space is restricted. The egg2 is a chic choice that can be used as a single or double and comes with a variety of infant car seats so that you can adapt it as your twins develop. It comes in a variety of colors and features a stylish contemporary design.

Easy to clean

Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your twin pushchair in great condition for long time to come. This will help avoid problems like fabric stains, odours and mould growth and also prolong its lifespan.

Begin by vacuuming your pushchair with a nozzle attachment that is flexible to eliminate crumbs, dirt, and grime from every area. This will let you reach into every crevice, seams and fabric components such as the seat canopy, and basket.

After the vacuuming has been completed Follow the manufacturer's instructions for removing the fabric seat covers, pads and liners from the frame of the chassis and washing them on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent appropriate for babies. Ensure all parts are completely dry prior to reassembling to avoid water damage or corrosion.

To remove any hardened odours or sticky messes, you should regularly clean the non-fabric components of your twin stroller. This includes the hinges, wheels, and folding parts. If required, a silicone-based lubricant must be used as recommended by the manufacturer to ensure smooth and constant movement of all components. Regular checks of your twin pushchair will identify any signs of wear and tear and allow you to fix these as soon as possible to reduce the risk of further issues.
