Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth
A stylish and sleek pushchair that can be expanded into a twin with one click. In twin mode the clever frame is smaller but has space for a basket of groceries alongside each seat/carrycot, or it can be used with two carrycots or car seats to accommodate siblings of various age.
The Venus comes with a baby Cocoon that creates a lie-flat and world-facing environment for infants. The UPPAbaby team has even updated the design to allow you can attach two cocoons.
Easy to Manoeuvre
One of the most frequently used baby products is a car seat twin pushchairs will be the baby’s home for a long time, so it’s crucial that it’s simple to maneuver. Our home-based testers loved the Roma Gemini for this – it’s light, folds compactly and has a great steering. It also comes with a variety of accessories that rival brands sell separately, including an upholstered seat liner that is fleecey.
Silver Cross Wave is a great option for twins and siblings of different ages as it can be used with two car seats or carrycots (it can be used in mono mode). The clever frame expands in size when you require the double seat but maintains one footprint when you’re in mono mode which makes it easier for you to navigate narrow passageways.
Apart from the design that is stunning and has plenty of extras, our testers found this model stood out due to its ease of use. It’s a smart, single to double pushchair-click to fold and it’s also compatible with most car seats so you can just pop them in and go. It can be a bit long when it’s in double mode but you can purchase a “sidepack” for PS45 to reduce it to a smaller size.
Convenient storage
A twin pushchair with a storage space that is easily accessible and practical will allow you to stay organized if you have more than one baby. Select a model with an ample basket underneath the seat to store all of the extra accessories such as baby changing mats and nappy bag. It is also a good idea to add an eating tray and a cup holder, so you aren’t bending over behind your child to grab drinks or snacks when they feel hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs, with one seat ahead of the other, are perfect for children of different age groups, but can be a little more difficult to maneuver through small spaces than side-by-side models. The CYBEX Gazelle S or Silver Cross Wave are the top tandem choices for twins. However, the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers the most affordable option and can accommodate two infant car seats carriers or bassinets.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an amazing twin stroller starting at birth. It can be used with two infant car seats or carrycots in cheap double buggy mode (you could also include the UPPAbaby piggyBack board to make it suitable for three children). In single-seat mode, it has plenty of storage space too, as well as an under-seat basket that’s large enough to fit a large shopping bag. It has a huge canopy that provides excellent protection from sun or rain and it’s also a breeze to monitor your children by using the clever peekaboo hoods.
Baby is a comfortable fit for both
The best double buggy twin pushchairs from birth will be designed to ensure that both children are comfortable while strolling. Look out for padded seats, recline features and adjustable bar for the calf. They will give your child the opportunity to stretch out and relax, or sit up straight to observe their surroundings.
It’s also worth looking for a twin pram with one handlebar to make it easier to steer one-handed. This will allow you to navigate through busy shopping streets or make tight turns. Some off road double buggy buggies come with two handlebars, but they aren’t always easy to control and may require that you use both hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs are able to accommodate various combinations of infant car seats so you can adapt them as your babies develop. The Peach 7 is a great option for siblings of different age groups, since it has two seats that are suitable from birth, and a carrycot facing the parent.
Other alternatives include the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be used with twins, a baby and toddler or even three children by attaching the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board. It has a super-slim frame that makes it easy to use in double mode and can be compactly folded for transport.
Tandem buggies are an excellent option for twins and offer an appearance that is more sleek than side-by-side models. One seat is cushioned and reclines to a full-angle for babies and the other is more upright and appropriate for toddlers. Some of them can be converted into a single pushchair by removing the front seat. Some are difficult to fit onto public transportation, and they might not be as stable when traveling between kerbs like a single-pushchair.
Certain models can fold down smaller than others, which could be beneficial if you’re strapped in storage space at home. The egg2 is a chic option that can be used as a single to double stroller or double and comes with a variety of infant car seats so that you can adapt to your twins’ needs as they grow. It is available in many colors and features a stylish contemporary style.
Easy to clean
Regular cleaning and maintenance will keep your twin stroller in great condition for many years to come. This will prevent issues such as fabric stains, odours, and mould growth. It will also prolong the life of your child’s pushchair.
Start by vacuuming your pushchair with a flexible nozzle attachment to get rid of crumbs, dirt, and grime from all areas. This will help get into all the crevices and seams in the fabric parts, including the seat, canopy and basket.
After vacuuming, remove the seat covers made of fabric pads, liners, and cushions and wash them on a gentle cycle using mild detergent suitable for babies. To prevent corrosion and water damage ensure that all parts are dry prior to the reassembling.
To eliminate any odours that have become hardened or sticky messes, regularly clean the non-fabric components of your twin stroller. This includes the wheels, hinges, and folding components. If necessary, use silicone-based grease according to the recommendations by the manufacturer to ensure smooth and continuous movement of all components. Regular inspections of your twin pushchair can reveal any signs of wear and tear and allow you to repair them promptly to reduce the risk of further problems.
