Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth
A stylish and stylish pushchair that can expand into a twin with just one click. In twin mode, the frame is shorter, but it still has room for a basket next to each seat or carrycot. It can also hold two car seats or carrycots based on the age of your children.
The Venus comes with a baby Cocoon that creates a lie-flat and world-facing environment for infants. The UPPAbaby brand has also redesigned the design so that you can connect two cocoons.
Easy to maneuver
A twin pushchair is one of the most commonly used baby products, after the car seat. It will be the baby’s place of residence for a long time, so it’s essential to ensure that it is easy to maneuver. Our home-based testers loved the Roma Gemini for this – it’s lightweight double stroller, folds up small and has superb steering. It also comes with loads of accessories that rival brands don’t sell separately, like an upholstered seat liner that is fleecey.
The Silver Cross Wave is another ideal choice for twins or siblings with different ages since it’s designed to take 2 seats and car seats (it can even be used with 2 carrycots in mono mode). Its clever frame can be expanded in width when you need the double seat, yet it maintains the same footprint when in mono mode which makes it easier to navigate narrow passageways.
Aside from the fact that it looks great and comes with plenty of features the test group found that this stroller really stood out due to its ease of use. It has a smart folding mechanism that can be folded with a single click. it’s compatible with all car seats, so you can simply put them in and go. It’s a little long in double mode, but you can buy a “sidepack” to reduce it for PS45.
Convenient storage
A twin pushchair with storage space that is easy to access and convenient can help you stay organized for more than one child. Choose a model that has a large storage basket under the seat to store all the extra accessories such as baby changing mats and nappy bag. It’s also a great idea to incorporate a snack tray and cup holder, so that you aren’t bending over behind your child to get a snack or drink when they’re hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs that have one seat in front of the other, are great for siblings of varying age, but they can be a bit more difficult to maneuver through small 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 strollers offers an affordable alternative and can accommodate two infant car seat carriers or bassinets.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an amazing twin stroller from birth and works with two infant car seats or carrycots in double mode (you can even add the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board to make it suitable for three kids). It’s got plenty of storage space when used in single-seat mode. There’s also a large under-seat basket that can accommodate a huge shopping cart. It comes with a large canopy for incredible protection from the sun or rain, and it’s also easy to check on your babies by using the clever peekaboo hoods.
Comfortable for both babies
The best twin pushchairs are made to keep both children happy and comfortable on their strolls. Look for calf bar adjustable, padded seats and recline features. These features will allow your child to relax and stretch out or sit straight up to observe their surroundings.
It is also worthwhile to look for twin prams with a single handlebar to make it easier to steer one-handed. This will allow you to navigate through busy shopping streets or make precise turns. Some double buggies have two handlebars, but this may be difficult to control and may require both hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs are able to accommodate various combinations of infant car seats, so you can adapt the pushchairs as your children grow. The Peach 7 is a great option for siblings with different age groups, since it has two seats that are suitable for babies from birth. It also has a carrycot with the parent facing.
Other options include the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be used with twins or a toddler and a baby or even three children by attaching the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board. It features a slim frame that makes it easy to use in double mode, and it can be folded down for easy transport.
Tandem buggies have a more streamlined look than side-byside models and are a good option for twins. One seat is cushioned and reclines to a full-angle for infants and the other is more upright and suitable for toddlers. They can be transformed into a single stroller by removing the seat in the front. Some aren’t able to be slid onto public transport, and they may not be as stable when moving between kerbs like a single-pushchair.
Some models fold down smaller than others. This is crucial when your storage space in your home is restricted. The egg2 is an elegant choice that can be used as one or two people. It also has various carrycots and baby car seats so you can adjust it as your twins grow larger. It comes in a variety of colours and has an attractive modern design.
Easy to clean
Regular cleaning and maintenance will keep your twin stroller in great condition for years to come. This will avoid problems like staining, odours, and the growth of mould. It will also prolong its life.
Begin by vacuuming your pushchair with a flexible nozzle attachment to eliminate crumbs, dirt, and grime from all surfaces. This will let you get into all the crevices, seams and fabric components like the seat, canopy and the basket.
After vacuuming, take off the seat covers made of fabric, pads, and liners and wash them on the gentle cycle with gentle detergent for infants. To avoid water damage and corrosion ensure that all parts are completely dry prior to the reassembling.
To get rid of any odours that have hardened or sticky messes, 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 consistent movement of all components. Monitoring your twin pushchair on a regular basis will help you spot any signs of wear, which will allow you to repair them as quickly as possible.
