Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth

A sleek and stylish pushchair that can be expanded into a twin in one click. In twin mode the clever frame is a bit smaller, but has space for a basket of groceries 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 new Cocoon which creates a lie-flat and world-facing environment for infants. The UPPAbaby brand has also redesigned the design to allow you can attach two cocoons together.

Easy to Manoeuvre

A twin pushchair is among the most commonly used baby products, right after a car-seat. It will be the baby’s home for a long time, so it’s important to ensure that it is easy to maneuver. The Roma Gemini was a favorite of our home testers due to the fact that it's light it folds down small and has excellent steering. It also comes with loads of accessories that rival 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 different ages, because it can be used with two car seats or carrycots (it can be used in mono mode). The clever frame expands in width when you're required to use the double seat, but keeps a single footprint when in mono mode, making it easier to navigate narrow passageways than buggies that are side-by-side.

Apart from the fact that it looks great and has lots of extras we tested, this pushchair really stood out for its user-friendliness. It has a smart, single-click to fold and it's compatible with all car seats so you can simply pop them in and go. It's a little long when in double mode, but you can buy a'sidepack' for PS45 to make it smaller.

Convenient storage

A twin pushchair with storage space that is easy to access and convenient will allow you to stay organized for more than one baby. Select a model with a large basket underneath to store all the additional accessories like baby changing mats rain covers, nappy bags and baby changing bags. A handy cup holder as well as snack tray are also an excellent choice, as it helps you avoid reaching behind your kids for drinks and snacks when they begin to feel hungry or thirsty.

Tandem twin pushchairs with a single seat in the front are great for siblings of different ages, but they aren't always easy to maneuver around narrow spaces. The CYBEX Gazelle S and Silver Cross Wave provide the most suitable tandem options for twins, while the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is more budget-friendly and can take two infant car seats or bassinets in double mode.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an incredible twin stroller that is available from birth. It can be used with two infant car seats or carrycots that double as carrycots (you can also add the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board to make it suitable for three children). In single-seat configuration, it offers plenty of storage space too as an under-seat basket that's large enough to fit bags of shopping. It comes with a large canopy for incredible protection from the rain or sun and it's also a breeze to monitor your children with the clever peekaboo hoods.

It is comfortable for both babies and toddlers.

The best twin pushchairs starting from birth are designed to ensure that both children are comfortable during strolls. Look for adjustable calf bars with padded seats, as well as recline features. These features will allow your child to stretch and relax or be seated straight up to watch their surroundings.

It's also worth considering a twin pram that has 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 these can be difficult to control and could require that you use both hands to push.

Some twin pushchairs can accommodate different combinations of infant car seats and carrycots, so you can adapt the stroller as your baby grows. The Peach 7 is a great option for siblings with different age groups, since it has two seats that can be used from birth and a carrycot with the parent facing.

The UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board can be connected to the UPPAbaby vista 2 for use with twins, a toddler and a baby, or three children. It is simple to use and folds compactly.

Tandem buggies are another good 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 and the other is more upright and appropriate for toddlers. Some can be made into a single stroller by removing the seat in front. Some are difficult to fit onto public transport, and may not be as stable moving on kerbs, as a single-pushchair.

Some models can be folded up smaller than others. This is essential for those whose storage space is small. Egg2 is a beautiful option that can be used as a single or a double. It also comes with a variety of carrycots and baby car seats so you can adjust it as your twins grow bigger. It's also available in a range 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 avoid issues such as staining, odours, and the growth of mould. It can also extend the life of your pushchair.

Start by vacuuming the pushchair to loosen up dirt dust, crumbs and grime from all areas with a flexible nozzle attachment. This will allow you to get into all the crevices and seams in the fabric parts, including the canopy, seat and basket.

Once the vacuuming process is completed, follow the manufacturer's guidelines for removing the fabric seat covers pads, liners and pads off the frame of the chassis and washing them on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent appropriate for infants. Make sure that all components are dry before reassembly to avoid water damage or corrosion.

Non-fabric components, such as the hinges, wheels and the folding parts of your twin pushchair must be regularly cleaned using a clean cloth to get rid of any sticky messes or clogged odours. 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 terrain double buggy components. Regular inspections of your twin pushchair will reveal any signs of wear and tear and allow you to repair them as soon as you can to avoid future problems.
