Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth
A stylish and stylish pushchair that expands into a twin in one click. In twin mode, the frame is shorter, but it still has room for a basket in front of each seat or carrycot. It can also hold two car seats/car carrycots depending on the age of your child.
The Venus comes with a newborn Cocoon that provides a lie-flat, world-facing environment for infants. UPPAbaby has even redesigned the design so that you can connect two cocoons together.
Easy to Manoeuvre
One of the most commonly used baby products following car seats, a twin pushchair will be the baby’s mainstay for quite some time so it’s crucial that it’s simple to maneuver. The Roma Gemini was a favorite of our home testers due to the fact that it’s lightweight, folds small and has a great steering. It also comes with plenty of extras that rival brands sell separately, including an upholstered seat liner that is fleecey.
The Silver Cross Wave is another ideal choice for twins or siblings of different ages as it’s designed to take two seats and car seats (it is also able to be used with 2 carrycots in mono mode). The clever frame expands widthways when you need to use the double seat, yet maintains a single footprint in mono mode, which makes it easier to navigate narrow passageways rather than side-byside buggies.
Our testers loved the look of this pushchair and its numerous extras. It was user-friendly. It has a smart, single-click to fold and it’s also compatible with a lot of car seats so you can just take them out and go. It’s a little long when in double buggy with car seat mode, but you can purchase a “sidepack” for PS45 to make it smaller.
Convenient storage
A twin pushchair with a storage area that is easily accessible and practical will help you stay organised if you have more than one baby. Pick a model that comes with an ample basket underneath the seat to keep all the extra accessories such as changing mats for babies and a nappy bag. A handy cup holder and snack tray are an excellent addition, as it saves you reaching behind your kids for a drink and snack when they feel thirsty or hungry.
Tandem compact twin stroller pushchairs that have one seat ahead of the other, are great 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 choices for twins. However the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers an affordable alternative and can accommodate two infant car seats bassinets or carriers.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 stroller is a twin stroller that is able to be used from birth. It can be used with two infant car seat or carrycots and also in double running stroller mode. You can also add the UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board to allow it to be used by three children. It’s got plenty of storage space when used in single-seat mode. It also has a huge under-seat basket that can accommodate an enormous shopping cart. It has a large canopy that provides excellent protection from the rain or sun. The clever peekaboo hoods make it easy to keep an eye on your child.
It is comfortable for both babies and toddlers.
The best twin pushchairs from birth are designed to ensure that both children are comfortable while strolling. Look for adjustable calf bars with padded seats, as well as recline features. They will give your child the opportunity to stretch out and relax or sit up straight to observe their surroundings.
It is also recommended to look for twin strollers with a single handlebar, which makes it easier to steer the stroller using one hand. This will allow you to navigate busy shopping streets and negotiate tight turns. Some double buggies come with two handlebars, but these can be difficult to control and could require you to use both hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs can be used with different combinations of infant car seats and carrycots. This means you can adapt the stroller as your baby grows. For instance, the Peach 7 offers two world-facing seats suitable from birth, a cosy parent-facing carrycot, and a toddler seat – making it the perfect option for siblings of different ages.
The UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board can be connected to the UPPAbaby vista 2 to use with twins, a toddler and a baby or even three children. It features a slim frame that allows it to be used in double mode, and it can be folded compactly for transport.
Tandem buggies offer a more streamlined look than side-by-side models and are a good option for twins. One seat is padded and can recline to a full angle for infants and the other is more upright and suitable for toddlers. Some can be converted to a single pushchair simply by removing the front seat. They can be difficult to connect to public transport and may not be as stable as a single pushchair when moving across kerbs.
Some models fold up smaller than others. This is crucial if your home storage space is restricted. The egg2 is an elegant choice that can be used for either a single or double pram stroller. It also comes with various carrycots and infant car seats, so you can alter it as your twins get larger. It’s also available in a range of colours and comes with a modern and stylish design.
Easy to clean
Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your twin pushchair in a excellent condition for long time to come. This will avoid issues like staining, odours, and the growth of mould. It can also 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 surfaces. This will allow you to get into all the crevices seams, seams and fabrics such as the seat, canopy, and basket.
Once the vacuuming process is completed, follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for removing the fabric seat covers pads, liners and pads from the frame of the chassis and washing them on a gentle cycle with mild detergent that is suitable for infants. Ensure all parts are completely dry prior to reassembling them to prevent corrosion or damage from water.
To remove any hardened odours 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 inspections of your twin pushchair can reveal any signs of wear and tear and allow you to address these issues as soon as you can to minimize the chance of more issues.
