Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth
A sleek and stylish pushchair that expands into a twin in one click. When it's twin, the frame is a bit smaller, but allows for a shopping basket alongside each seat/carrycot, or it can take two carrycots or car seats to accommodate siblings of various age.
The Venus also includes a newborn cocoon to create a lie-flat environment that is a parent-facing or world-facing options for infants. UPPAbaby has even redesigned the design to allow you can connect two cocoons.
Easy to manoeuvre
One of the most used baby products after car seats, a twin pushchair will be the baby's mainstay for quite a while, so it's essential that it's easy to manoeuvre. The Roma Gemini was a favorite of our home testers because it's lightweight it folds down small and has excellent steering. It also comes with a variety of extras that rival brands sell separately, including a fleecey padded seat liner.
double stroller sale is another ideal choice for siblings or twins of varying ages, as it's designed to take two seats and car seats (it can even be used with 2 carrycots in mono mode). The clever frame expands in width when you need a double seat but maintains one footprint when in mono mode, making it easier to navigate narrow passageways.
Apart from the appearance and comes with plenty of features, our testers found this stroller really stood out for its user-friendliness. It folds easily with just a click and is compatible with the majority of car seat models. It's a little long when in double mode but you can buy a'sidepack' for PS45 to make it smaller.
Convenient storage
If you have more than one child, a twin pushchair from birth with a practical and easily accessible storage area will help you keep things well-organized. Pick a model that has an enormous basket under to store all the additional accessories like baby changing mats, rain covers and nappy bags. A handy cup holder as well as snack tray is also an excellent addition, as it will help you reach behind your children to grab drinks and snacks when they start to feel hungry or thirsty.
Tandem twin pushchairs, with one seat ahead of the other, are great for children of different ages but may be a bit 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 accommodate two infant car seat carriers or bassinets in double mode.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an amazing twin stroller starting at birth and works with two infant car seats or carrycots in double-mode (you can even add the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board to make it suitable for three children). It's a great size with plenty of storage space in single-seat mode. There's also a large under-seat storage basket that's big enough to hold a large shopping cart. It has a large canopy that offers great protection from the sun or rain. The clever peekaboo hoods make it simple to keep an eye on your baby.
Baby is a comfortable fit for both
The best twin pushchairs from birth are designed to ensure that both children are at ease during strolls. Be sure to look out for seats with padding with recline features, as well as adjustable calf bars. These features allow your child to relax and stretch out or stand straight to observe their surroundings.
It's also worth considering a twin pram with one handlebar to make it easier to steer with one hand. This will help you to navigate busy shopping streets and navigate tight turns. Some double buggies have two handlebars, but this may be difficult to control and could require two hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs are able to accommodate different combinations of carrycots and infant car seats, which means you can adapt them as your babies grow. The Peach 7 is a great option for siblings of different age ranges, as it comes with two seats that can be used from birth, and a carrycot with the parent facing.
Other alternatives include the UPPAbaby Vista 2 that can be used with twins or a toddler and a baby or even three kids by attaching the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board. It has a super-slim frame that allows it to be used in double mode and can be compactly folded for transport.
Tandem buggies are an excellent option for twins. They offer an elegant appearance compared to side-by-side models. One seat is cushioned and can recline to a full angle for infants and the other is more upright and suitable for toddlers. Some can be made into one stroller by taking out the seat in the front. Some aren't easy to fit on public transport, and may not be as stable moving on kerbs, as a single-pushchair.
Certain models can fold smaller than others, which can be beneficial if you're strapped on storage space at home. Egg2 is a beautiful option that can be used for one or two people. It also comes with a range of carrycots as well as infant car seats, so you can alter it as your twins grow larger. It's also available in a range of colours and comes with a lovely contemporary style.
Easy to clean
Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your stroller in top condition for years to come. This will avoid problems like fabric stains, odours and the growth of mould. It will also extend the life of your pushchair.
Begin by vacuuming your pushchair with a flexible nozzle attachment to get rid of crumbs, dirt, and grime from every area. This will let you reach into every crevice seams, seams and fabric parts such as the seat canopy and the 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 then washing them on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent appropriate for infants. To avoid corrosion and water damage ensure that all parts are dry prior to the reassembling.
To remove any hardened odours or sticky messes, regularly clean the non-fabric parts of your twin stroller. This includes the hinges, wheels, and folding parts. If needed, apply silicone-based grease according to the recommendations by the manufacture to ensure smooth and continuous movement of all components. Checking your twin pushchair regularly can help you identify any signs of wear, allowing you to repair them as quickly as you can.
