Buying double pram buggy From Birth
The stylish and sleek pushchair can be converted to a twin in a single click. When it's twin, the frame is a bit smaller, but has space for a shopping basket alongside each seat/carrycot. It can be used with two carrycots or car seats to accommodate siblings of different ages.
The Venus also comes with a newborn baby cocoon to create a lying-flat environment, and a parent or the world-facing option for infants. The UPPAbaby team has even updated the design so that you can connect two cocoons together.
Easy to manoeuvre
One of the most used baby products is the car seat, a twin pushchair will be the baby's primary residence for quite some time so it's essential that it's easy to manoeuvre. The Roma Gemini was a favorite of our home testers due to the fact that it's light, compact and has a great steering. It also comes with a variety of extras that rival brands offer separately, such as the seat liner, which is padded and fleecey.
The Silver Cross Wave is another great option for siblings or twins of varying ages, as it's designed to accommodate 2 seats and car seats (it can even be used with 2 carrycots in mono mode). The clever frame expands in size when you require the double seat, yet it maintains the same footprint when in mono mode, making it easier to navigate narrow passageways.
Apart from the design that is stunning and has plenty of extras the test group found that this stroller really stood out for its user-friendliness. It's easy to fold with a single click and is compatible with all car seat models. It's a little long when in double mode but you can buy a "sidepack" for PS45 to make it more compact.
Convenient storage
If you have more than one child, a twin pushchair from birth with a handy and easily accessible storage space can help you keep things organised. Select a model with an ample basket underneath the seat to store all of the extra accessories such as changing mats for babies and a nappy bag. It's also a good idea to include an eating tray and a cup holder so that you aren't bending over behind your child for food or drinks when they're hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs with a single seat in the front are great for siblings of different ages, but they can be more difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces. The CYBEX Gazelle S or Silver Cross Wave are the best tandem choices for twins. However the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers an affordable alternative and can accommodate two infant car seats bassinets or infant carriers.
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 children). In single-seat mode, it has plenty of storage space as a spacious under-seat basket that's big enough for an enormous shopping bag. It has a large canopy that provides excellent protection from the rain or sun. The clever peekaboo hoods make it simple to keep an eye on your child.
Comfortable for both babies
The best twin pushchairs from birth will be designed to keep both children comfortable during strolls. Look out for padded seats recline features, recline features, and adjustable calf bars. These features allow your child to stretch and relax or sit straight up to observe their environment.
It is also recommended to look for twin strollers with a single handlebar, which allows you to control the stroller using one hand. This will allow you to navigate through busy malls or take tight turns. Double buggies may have two handlebars, but this can be harder to control and could require you to use both hands for pushing.
Some twin pushchairs are able to accommodate various combinations of infant car seats and carrycots. This means you can adapt the stroller as your baby grows. The Peach 7 is a great option for siblings of different age groups, since it has two seats that can be used from birth, and a carrycot with the parent facing.
Other alternatives include the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be used with twins or a toddler and baby or even three children by affixing the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board. It features a slim frame that makes it easy to use in double mode and can be folded down for easy transport.
Tandem buggies offer an elegant design than side-byside buggies and are a great option for twins. They usually have one padded seat that reclines fully and is suitable for newborns while the other is an upright design and can be used by toddlers. Some can be converted into a single stroller by removing the seat in the front. They aren't easy to attach to public transport and might not be as stable as a single pushchair moving up and down kerbs.
Certain models can fold into smaller sizes than others. This is important when your storage space in your home is restricted. The egg2 is an elegant choice that can be used for a single or a double. It also comes with a range of carrycots as well as infant car seats, so you can alter it as your twins get bigger. It's also available in a range of colors and features an elegant contemporary design.
Easy to clean
Regular cleaning and maintenance will keep your stroller in top condition for many years to come. This will prevent issues like fabric stains, odours and mould growth, and prolong its lifespan.
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 every crevice, seams and fabric components such as 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 a mild detergent for babies. Ensure all parts are completely dry prior to reassembling them to avoid corrosion or water damage.
To get rid of any odours that have hardened or sticky messes, regularly clean the non-fabric parts of your twin stroller. This includes the wheels, hinges, and folding parts. If necessary, use silicone-based grease according to the recommendations by the manufacture to ensure smooth and constant movement of all components. Checking your twin pushchair regularly will help you spot any signs of wear, which will allow you to repair them as quickly as possible.
