The 10 Scariest Things About Twin Pushchair

Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth

A stylish and sleek pushchair that expands into a twin with one click. When it's twin, the frame is a bit smaller, but has space to store a shopping basket beside each car seat, or it can take two car seats or carrycots to suit siblings of varying ages.

The Venus comes with a new Cocoon which creates a lie-flat and world-facing environment for infants. The UPPAbaby team has even updated the design to allow you can connect two cocoons together.

Easy to maneuver

One of the most used baby products after the car seat, a twin pushchair will be the baby's primary residence for quite some time so it's crucial that it's easy to manoeuvre. Our test subjects loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's light, folds tiny and has excellent steering. It also comes with plenty of accessories that rival brands offer separately, such as an upholstered seat liner that is fleecey.

Silver Cross Wave is a great option for twins and siblings of different ages because it can be used with two car seats or carrycots (it can also be used in mono mode). Its clever frame expands in width when you're using the double seat, yet keeps a single to double buggy footprint when in mono mode so it's much easier to navigate narrow spaces rather than side-byside buggies.

Aside from the design that is stunning and has plenty of extras the test group found that this pushchair really stood out for its simplicity of use. It folds with just a click and compatible with most car seat models. It's a bit long in off road double buggy 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 area can help you keep things well-organized. Pick a model that has a large basket underneath for storing all the extra accessories, such as baby changing mats rain covers, nappy bags. It's also a good idea to add the cup and snack tray to the holder so that you do not have to reach behind your child for drinks or snacks when they are hungry.

Tandem twin pushchairs, which have one seat ahead of the other, are ideal for siblings of varying age, but they can be a bit more difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces than side-by-side models. The CYBEX Gazelle S or Silver Cross Wave are the top tandem options for twins. However the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers an affordable alternative and can accommodate two infant car seat bassinets or carriers.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an amazing twin stroller starting at birth. It can be used 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's a great size with plenty of storage space even in single-seat mode. There's also an under-seat basket big enough to accommodate an enormous shopping cart. It features a large canopy that offers excellent protection from the sun or rain. The clever peekaboo hoods make it simple to keep your baby's attention.

Baby is a comfortable fit for both

The best compact twin stroller pushchairs from birth are designed to ensure both children are comfortable while strolling. Look for calf bar adjustable with padded seats, as well as recline features. These will give your child the chance to relax and stretch out or sit up straight to observe their surroundings.

You should also look for twin prams with a single handlebar, which makes it easier to steer the stroller one-handed. This will let you navigate through busy shopping streets or make tight turns. Double buggies may have two handlebars, but this can be harder to control and may require you to use both hands to push.

Some twin pushchairs are able to accommodate different combinations of carrycots and infant car seats so you can alter to your baby's needs as they develop. For instance the Peach 7 offers two world-facing seats suitable from birth, a comfortable parent-facing carrycot and a toddler seat, making it a great option for siblings of different age.

The UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board can be attached to the UPPAbaby vista 2 to use with twins, a toddler and a baby, or even three children. It features a slim frame that makes it easy to use in double mode and can be folded compactly for transport.

Tandem buggies are another good option for twins. They offer an elegant appearance compared to side-by-side models. One seat is padded and can recline to a full angle for babies, while the other is more upright and appropriate for toddlers. Some can be made into one stroller by removing the seat in the front. Some aren't able to be slid onto public transportation, and they might not be as stable when moving up and down kerbs as a single-pushchair.

Some models fold down smaller than others. This is important if your home storage space is limited. The egg2 is a stylish choice that can be used for a single or a double. It also has a range of carrycots as well as baby car seats so you can alter it as your twins grow larger. It is available in many colors and features a stylish contemporary style.

Easy to clean

Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your twin pushchair in a great condition for the years to come. This will help prevent problems like fabric stains, odours and the growth of mould and prolong its lifespan.

Begin by vacuuming the seat to loosen up dirt dust, crumbs and grime from all areas, using a flexible nozzle attachment. This will allow you to reach into all crevices and seams in the fabric parts, including the seat, canopy and basket.

Once the vacuuming is complete Follow the manufacturer's instructions 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 babies. Ensure all parts are completely dry prior to reassembling to avoid water damage or corrosion.

Non-fabric components, such as the hinges, wheels, and folding components of your twin pushchair need to be regularly cleaned using a clean cloth to remove any sticky messes or hardened smells. If required, use a silicone-based grease as recommended by the manufacture to ensure smooth and constant movement of all components. Regular checks of your twin pushchair will identify any signs of wear and tear, and allow you to fix these as soon as you can to reduce the risk of further issues.
