Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth

A stylish and sleek pushchair that can expand into a twin with one click. In twin mode, the frame is narrower and still has room for a basket in front of each seat/carrycot. It can also hold two carrycots/car seats depending on the age of your child.

The Venus also comes with a newborn baby cocoon to create a lie-flat environment that is a parent-facing or the world-facing option for infants. The UPPAbaby team has even tweaked the design to allow you attach two cocoons together.

Easy to manoeuvre

One of the most frequently used baby products after a car seat, a twin pushchair will be the baby's primary residence for a long time, so it's crucial that it's simple to maneuver. Our home testers loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's light, folds compactly and has a great steering. It comes with lots of extras, and competitors charge separately.

Silver Cross Wave is a excellent choice for twins or siblings of different ages, since it can be used with two car seats or carrycots (it can be used in mono mode). The clever frame expands its width when you're using the double seat, yet maintains a single footprint in mono mode, which makes it easier to navigate narrow passageways than side-by-side by side double stroller buggies.

Our testers loved the look of this stroller and its numerous extras. However, it was easy to use. It's easy to fold in a single click and is compatible with all car seat models. It's a bit long in double pushchair sale mode, however you can buy a "sidepack' to reduce it for PS45.

Convenient storage

If you have more than one child, a twin pushchair from birth with a handy and easily accessible storage space will help you keep everything organized. Select a model with a large basket under the seat to keep all the extra accessories such as baby changing mats and nappy bag. It is also a good idea to add the cup and snack tray to the holder, so you do not have to reach behind your child to grab food or drinks when they are hungry.

Tandem twin pushchairs with a single seat in the front are ideal for siblings with different ages, but they aren't always easy to maneuver around narrow spaces. The CYBEX Gazelle S or Silver Cross Wave are the top tandem alternatives for twins. However, the Evenflo Pivot Xpand double buggy from birth offers an affordable alternative and can accommodate two infant car seat carriers or bassinets.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an amazing twin stroller starting at birth. It works with two infant car seats or carrycots that double as carrycots (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 too, as well as an under-seat basket that's big enough for a large shopping bag. It comes with a massive canopy for excellent protection from rain or sun and it's also a breeze to check on your babies by using the clever peekaboo-hoods.

It is comfortable for both babies and toddlers.

The most effective twin pushchairs from birth are designed to ensure both children are comfortable during strolls. Be sure to look for padded seats recline features, recline features, and adjustable calf bars. These features allow your child to relax and stretch out or be seated straight up to watch their environment.

You should also consider twin strollers with one handlebar, which allows you to control the stroller using one hand. This will allow you to navigate busy shopping streets and make tight turns. Double buggies may have two handlebars. However, they aren't always easy to control and may require both hands to push.

Some twin pushchairs can be used with different combinations of infant car seats and carrycots so you can alter the stroller as your child grows. For example the Peach 7 offers two world-facing seats that are suitable from birth, a comfortable parent-facing carrycot as well as an infant seat, making it the perfect option for siblings of different age.

The UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board can be connected to the UPPAbaby vista 2 to use with twins, toddlers and a baby or even three children. Its ultra-light frame that makes it easy to use in double mode and can be folded compactly for transport.

Tandem buggies provide an elegant design than side-by-side models and are a great choice for twins. One seat is cushioned and can recline to a full angle for newborns and the other is more upright and suitable for toddlers. Some can be converted back into a single pushchair by taking off the front seat. They can be tricky to fit on to public transport and might not be as stable as a single pushchair when moving up and down kerbs.

Some models can be folded 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 as a single or a double travel stroller. It also has various carrycots and infant car seats so you can alter it as your twins grow bigger. 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 good condition for many years to come. This will help prevent problems like fabric stains, odours and mould growth and also extend its life.

Start by vacuuming your pushchair with a nozzle attachment that is flexible to remove dirt, crumbs, and grime from all areas. This will allow you to reach into all crevices and seams of the fabric components, including the canopy, seat and basket.

After the vacuuming has been completed, follow the manufacturer's guidelines for removing fabric seat coverings, pads and liners from the frame of the chassis, and then cleaning them on a gentle cycle using mild detergent that is suitable for babies. To avoid water damage and corrosion, ensure that all parts are dry prior to rebuilding.

To remove any hardened odours or sticky messes, regularly clean the non-fabric parts of your twin stroller. This includes the hinges, wheels 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 checks of your twin pushchair can reveal any signs of wear and tear, and allow you to address these issues promptly to avoid more problems.
