Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth
A sleek and stylish pushchair that can expand into a twin in one click. In twin mode, the frame is a bit smaller, but offers enough space for a shopping basket alongside each seat/carrycot. It can be used with two car seats or carrycots to accommodate siblings of various age.
The Venus also includes a newborn cocoon to create a flat, comfortable environment and parent or the world-facing option for infants. The UPPAbaby brand has also redesigned the design to allow you attach two cocoons side-by-side.
Easy to maneuver
One of the most used baby products is car seats A twin pushchair will be the baby’s primary residence for quite a while, so it’s essential that it’s easy to move. Our test subjects loved the Roma Gemini for this – it’s light, folds compactly and has a great steering. It comes with lots of extras that competitors charge separately.
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 also be used in mono mode). The clever frame expands widthways when you’re using the stokke double Stroller seat, yet it remains a single footprint in mono mode so it’s easier to navigate narrow passageways than side-by-side buggies.
Our test subjects loved the design of this pushchair as well as its many extras. But it was also simple to use. It folds easily with just a click and compatible with most car seat models. It’s a little long when it’s in double mode but you can buy a “sidepack” for PS45 to reduce it to a smaller size.
Convenient storage
A twin pushchair with a storage area that is easily accessible and practical will allow you to stay organized if you have more than one baby. Choose a model that has a large basket under the seat to store all of the extra accessories such as changing mats for babies and a nappy bag. A convenient cup holder and snack tray are also an excellent choice, as it will help you reach behind your children for drinks and snacks when they begin to feel hungry or thirsty.
Tandem twin pushchairs, which have one seat behind the other, are perfect for children of different age groups, but can be a little more difficult to maneuver in narrow spaces than side-by-side models. The CYBEX Gazelle S and Silver Cross Wave are the top tandem options for twins, while the Evenflo Pivot Xpand cheap double pushchair is more affordable and can be used with 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 can be used in double buggy with carrycot mode. You can add the UPPAbaby piggyback board to allow it to be used by three children. It’s a great size with plenty of storage space even in single-seat mode. There’s also a large under-seat basket 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 child.
It is comfortable for both babies and toddlers.
The best twin pushchairs are designed to keep both children happy and comfortable on their strolls. Be sure to look out for seats with padding, recline features and adjustable bar for the calf. These will give your child the opportunity to stretch out and relax, or stand up straight to take in their surroundings.
It’s also worth looking for twin prams 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, however they can be difficult to control and could require that you use both hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs can be used with different combinations of infant car seats and carrycots. This means you can modify the stroller as your baby grows. The Peach 7 is a great choice for siblings with varying age groups, since it has two seats that can be used from birth, and an infant carrycot that faces the parent.
The UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board can be attached to the UPPAbaby vista 2 for use with twins, toddlers and a baby, or even three children. It has a super-slim frame that makes it easy to use in lightweight double pushchair mode and is folded compactly for transport.
Tandem buggies are another good option for twins. They offer an appearance that is more sleek than side-by-side models. They usually have one cushioned seat that reclines completely and is suitable for newborns while the other is a more upright position and is suitable for toddlers. Some can be converted into a single stroller by removing the seat in front. Some aren’t easy to fit on public transportation, and they might not be as stable going on kerbs, as a single-pushchair.
Some models fold into smaller sizes than others. This is crucial when your storage space in your home is small. The egg2 is an elegant choice that can be used for a single or a double. It also has a range of carrycots as well as infant car seats, so you can modify it as your twins get bigger. It is available in many colors and features a stylish contemporary style.
Easy to clean
Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your twin stroller in great condition for years to come. This will help avoid issues such as fabric stains, odours and mould growth, and prolong its lifespan.
Start by vacuuming the pushchair to get rid of dirt, crumbs and grime in all areas, using a flexible nozzle attachment. This will let you get into all the crevices seams, seams and fabric parts like the seat, canopy and the basket.
Once the vacuuming is complete, follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for removing fabric seat coverings, pads and liners from the chassis frame and machine washing them on a delicate cycle using a mild detergent suitable for babies. To prevent water damage and corrosion make sure that all components are completely dry prior to rebuilding.
Non-fabric components, for example the wheels, hinges and folding components of your twin pushchair need to be cleaned regularly using a clean cloth to remove any sticky messes or clogged smells. If required an lubricant based on silicone should be used in accordance with the recommendations of the manufacturer to ensure smooth and consistent movement of all components.
