Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth

A stylish and sleek pushchair that expands into a twin in one click. In twin mode the frame is a little smaller, but still allows for a basket next to each seat/carrycot. It can also hold two carrycots/car seats depending on the age of your children.

The Venus comes with a newborn Cocoon that creates a lie-flat and world-facing environment for infants. UPPAbaby have even rejigged the design to let you attach two cocoons together.

Easy to manoeuvre

One of the most frequently used baby products is the car seat, a twin pushchair will be the baby's mainstay for quite some time so it's crucial that it's simple to maneuver. Our home-based testers loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's lightweight, folds up tiny and has excellent steering. It comes with a lot of extras, which competitors charge separately.

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

Our test subjects loved the design of this pushchair as well as its many extras. However, it was user-friendly. It's easy to fold in a single click and compatible with most compact double stroller car seat models. It's a bit long in strollers double strollers mode, but you can purchase a'sidepack' to make it smaller for PS45.

Convenient storage

If you have more than one child, a twin pushchair from birth with a practical and easily accessible storage space will help you keep things organised. Choose a model that has an ample basket underneath the seat to store all the extra accessories such as changing mats for babies and a nappy bag. It's also a good idea to add the cup and snack tray to the holder, so you aren't bending over behind your child for a snack or drink when they're hungry.

Tandem twin pushchairs that have one seat behind the other, are perfect for siblings of varying ages but may be a little more difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces than side-by-side models. The CYBEX Gazelle S and Silver Cross Wave provide the most suitable tandem options for twins while the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is more budget-friendly and can take two infant car seat carriers or bassinets in double mode.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an amazing twin stroller from birth. It works with two infant car seats or carrycots in double-mode (you could also add the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board to make it suitable for three kids). It has a lot of storage space in single-seat mode. It also has a huge under-seat basket big enough to hold a large shopping cart. It comes with a huge canopy that provides excellent protection from the sun or rain. The clever peekaboo hoods allow you to keep an eye on your baby.

Baby is a comfortable fit for both

The best twin pushchairs from birth are designed to ensure both children are at ease during strolls. Look out for padded seats with recline features, as well as adjustable calf bars. These will give your child the chance 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 allow you to navigate through busy shopping streets or make precise turns. Some double buggies come with two handlebars, but these can be difficult to control and may require that you use both hands to push.

Some twin pushchairs can accommodate different combinations of infant car seats so you can modify them as your babies develop. The Peach 7 is a great choice for siblings with varying age groups, since it has two seats that are suitable from birth, and an infant carrycot that faces 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 features a slim frame that allows it to be used in double mode and is folded down for easy transport.

Tandem buggies provide an elegant design than side-byside models and are a good option for twins. One seat is cushioned and can recline to a full angle for infants, while the other is more upright and appropriate for toddlers. Some can be made into a single stroller by removing the seat in front. Some are difficult to fit onto public transport, and may not be as stable moving up and down kerbs as a single-pushchair.

Some models can be folded into smaller sizes than others. This is essential for those whose storage space is restricted. The egg2 is a chic choice that can be used as a double pram buggy or a single and offers a variety of carrycots and infant car seats, so you can alter to your twins' needs as they develop. It's also available in a variety of colors and features an elegant contemporary design.

Easy to clean

Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your twin pushchair in a great condition for long time to come. This will help avoid issues like fabric stains, odours and mould growth, and extend its life.

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

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

Non-fabric components, such as the hinges, wheels and folding components of your twin pushchair should be regularly cleaned using an uncluttered cloth to eliminate any sticky messes or hardened odours. If needed, a silicone-based lubricant should be used in accordance with 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 enable you to fix these as soon as you can to minimize the chance of future problems.
