Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth

The stylish and sleek pushchair expands to a twin in just one click. When it's twin, the frame is a bit smaller, but offers enough space for a shopping basket alongside each car seat, or it can be used with two carrycots or car seats to accommodate siblings of different age.

The Venus also comes with a newborn baby cocoon to create a flat, comfortable environment, and a parent or the world-facing option for infants. UPPAbaby have even rejigged the design to let you attach two cocoons side-by-side.

Easy to maneuver

A twin stroller side by side pushchair is among the most commonly used baby products, right after a car-seat. It will be the baby’s home for a long period of time, so it's essential to make it easy to move. The Roma Gemini was a favorite of our home testers due to the fact that it is lightweight, folds small and has a great steering. It also comes with a variety of extras that rival brands don't sell separately, like the seat liner, which is padded and fleecey.

The Silver Cross Wave is another excellent choice for twins or siblings of different ages as it's designed to take 2 seats and car seats (it can even be used with 2 carrycots in mono mode). Its clever frame expands in size when you require the double seat, but it has a single footprint when in mono mode which makes it easier to navigate narrow passageways.

Aside from the appearance and has plenty of extras, our testers found this pushchair really stood out due to its ease of use. It's a smart fold that is a single and double stroller [more resources]-click and it's also compatible with a lot of car seats, so you can simply put them in and go. It can be a bit long when in double mode, but you can purchase a "sidepack" for PS45 to reduce it to a smaller size.

Convenient storage

If you have more than one child, a twin pushchair from birth with a handy and easily accessible storage area can help you keep things organized. Choose a model with an enormous basket under to store all the additional accessories such as baby changing mats, rain covers and nappy bags. A handy cup holder and snack tray are an excellent addition, as it saves you reaching behind your kids for an ice-cold drink or snack when they begin to get thirsty or hungry.

Tandem twin pushchairs that have one seat ahead of the other, are ideal for children of different age groups, but can be a little more difficult to manoeuvre through narrow spaces than side-by-side models. The CYBEX Gazelle S and Silver Cross Wave offer the best tandem options for twins while the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is more affordable and can accommodate two infant car seats or bassinets in double mode.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 stroller is a twin stroller that can be used from birth. It works with two infant car seats or carrycots and in double mode. You can add the UPPAbaby piggyback board to make it suitable for three children. In single-seat configuration, it offers plenty of storage space, as well as a spacious under-seat basket that's big enough to hold a large shopping bag. It comes with a massive canopy for exceptional protection from the rain or sun, and it's also easy to check on your baby by using the clever peekaboo-hoods.

Comfortable for both babies

The best twin pushchairs are designed to keep both children happy and comfortable during their strolls. Look for adjustable calf bars with padded seats, as well as recline features. These features allow your child to stretch and relax or sit straight up to observe their surroundings.

You should also look for twin buggy from birth strollers that have a single handlebar, which allows you to control the stroller with one hand. This will allow you to navigate through busy shopping streets or make tight turns. double single pushchair buggies may have two handlebars, however they aren't always easy to control and may require both hands to push.

Some twin pushchairs can accommodate different combinations of infant car seats so 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 for babies from birth. It also has a carrycot facing the parent.

The UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board can be connected to the UPPAbaby vista 2 to use with twins, toddlers and a baby, or even three children. It is easy to use and folds up easily.

Tandem buggies are a great option for twins. They offer a more streamlined appearance than side-by-side models. One seat is padded and can recline to a full angle for newborns and the other is more upright and appropriate for toddlers. Some can be made into one stroller by removing the seat in front. They can be tricky to connect to public transport and may not be as sturdy as a single pushchair when travelling across kerbs.

Some models can be folded up smaller than others. This is essential if your home storage space is restricted. The egg2 is a stylish choice that can be used for one or two people. It also has a variety of carrycots and infant car seats, so you can alter it as your twins grow bigger. It's also available in a variety of colours and comes with a modern and stylish design.

Easy to clean

Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your twin pushchair in good condition for many long time to come. This will help prevent issues like fabric stains, odours and the growth of mould and extend the life of your pushchair.

Begin by vacuuming your pushchair using a nozzle that is flexible to get rid of crumbs, dirt, and grime from all areas. This will allow you to get into the crevices and seams of the fabric components including the seat, canopy and basket.

After vacuuming, take off the fabric seat covers pads, liners, and cushions and wash them in an easy cycle using mild detergent suitable for babies. Make sure all parts are dry prior to reassembling them to avoid water damage or corrosion.

Non-fabric components, for example the hinges, wheels, and the folding parts of your twin pushchair need to be regularly cleaned using a clean cloth to get rid of any sticky residues or hardened smells. If required an lubricant based on silicone should be used according to the recommendations of the manufacturer to ensure smooth and consistent movement of all components. Regular inspections of your twin pushchair will identify any signs of wear and tear, and allow you to address these issues promptly to reduce the risk of further problems.
