Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth

The sleek and stylish pushchair can be expanded to twin in just one click. In twin mode the clever frame is narrower but still has space for a basket of groceries alongside each seat/carrycot. It can take two carrycots or car seats to accommodate siblings of various ages.

The Venus comes with a baby Cocoon that creates a lie-flat and world-facing environment for infants. The UPPAbaby brand has also redesigned the design to let you attach two cocoons side by side.

Easy to manoeuvre

A twin pushchair is among the most frequently used baby products, after the car seat. It will be the baby's place of residence for a long time so it’s important to make it 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 a variety of extras, which competitors charge separately.

The Silver Cross Wave is another ideal choice for siblings or twins of varying ages, as it's designed to fit 2 seats and car seats (it can also be used with 2 carrycots in mono mode). The frame's clever design expands in width when you need the double seat, yet it maintains the same footprint when you're in mono mode which makes it easier to navigate narrow passageways.

Our testers loved the look of this pushchair and its numerous features. But it was also simple to use. It's got a clever fold that is a single-click and it's also compatible with most car seats so it's easy to 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 make it smaller.

Convenient storage

A twin pushchair with storage space that is easily accessible and easy to access will allow you to stay organized if you have more than one child. Choose a model with an enormous basket under for storing all the extra accessories such as baby changing mats, rain covers and nappy bags. It's also a great idea to incorporate a snack tray and cup holder, so that you do not have to reach behind your child to grab food or drinks when they feel hungry.

Tandem twin pushchairs, with one seat behind the other, are perfect for children of different ages but may be a little more difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces than side-by-side models. The CYBEX Gazelle S or Silver Cross Wave are the best tandem options for twins. However, the Evenflo Pivot Xpand double buggy newborn offers a more affordable option and can accommodate two infant car seat bassinets or infant carriers.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an amazing twin stroller from 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). In single-seat configuration, it offers plenty of storage space as an under-seat basket that's big enough to hold a large shopping bag. It has a huge canopy for excellent protection from sun or rain and it's also simple to monitor your children with the clever peekaboo hoods.

It is comfortable for both babies and toddlers.

The best compact twin stroller pushchairs from birth will be designed to ensure both children are comfortable during strolls. Find adjustable calf bars as well as padded seats and recline features. These will allow your child to stretch out and relax, or sit straight and observe their surroundings.

It's also worth considering a twin pram with one handlebar, making it easier to steer one-handed. This will let you navigate through busy shopping streets or make tight turns. Some double buggies come with two handlebars but this may be difficult to control and may require both hands for pushing.

Some twin pushchairs are able to accommodate various combinations of carrycots and infant car seats, which means you can alter to your baby's needs as they grow. 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 facing the parent.

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

Tandem buggies are an excellent option for twins. They offer a more streamlined appearance than side-by-side models. They typically have a padded seat that reclines fully and is suitable for newborns while the other is a more upright position and can be used by toddlers. Some of them can be converted to a single pushchair simply by removing the front seat. Some are difficult to fit onto public transportation, and they might not be as stable traveling on kerbs, as a single-pushchair.

Some models can be folded into smaller sizes than others. This is important when your storage space in your home is restricted. The egg2 is an elegant choice 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 colors and features a lovely contemporary style.

Easy to clean

Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your twin pushchair in excellent condition for the years to come. This will prevent issues like fabric stains, odours and mould growth, and extend its life.

Begin by vacuuming your pushchair with a flexible nozzle attachment to get rid of crumbs, dirt and grime from all surfaces. This will allow you to get into the crevices and seams in the fabric parts, including the canopy, seat and basket.

After vacuuming, take off the seat covers, pads, and liners and wash them in an easy cycle using a mild detergent for babies. Ensure all parts are completely dry prior to reassembling them to prevent water damage or corrosion.

To get rid of any odours that have hardened or sticky messes, you should regularly clean the non-fabric components of your twin stroller. This includes the hinges, wheels, and folding components. If needed, apply silicone-based grease according to the recommendations by the manufacturer to ensure smooth and continuous movement of all components. Regular checks of your twin pushchair will reveal any signs of wear and tear, and allow you to fix these as soon as possible to minimize the chance of further issues.
