17 Signs To Know If You Work With Twin Pushchair
Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth
The stylish and sleek pushchair can be converted to a twin in a single click. In twin mode, the frame is narrower but still offers enough space for a basket of groceries alongside each seat/carrycot. It can accommodate two carrycots or car seats to accommodate siblings of different ages.
The Venus also comes with a newborn cocoon to create a lie-flat environment and parent or world-facing option for infants. UPPAbaby have even rejigged the design to let you attach two cocoons together.
Easy to Manoeuvre
One of the most commonly used baby products is a car seat A twin pushchair will be the baby's home for a long time, so it's crucial that it's easy to move. Our test subjects loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's light, folds compactly and has a great steering. It comes with a lot of extras, which rival brands charge separately.
Silver Cross Wave is a ideal choice for twins and siblings of different ages as it can be used with two car seats or carrycots (it can also be used in mono mode). The frame's clever design can be expanded in width when you require the double seat, yet it maintains the same 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 and its numerous features. But it was also easy to use. It folds easily with just a click and is compatible with all car seat models. It's a bit long when it's in double mode, but you can buy a "sidepack" for PS45 to make it smaller.
Convenient storage
If you have more than one child and a twin pushchair for birth with a convenient and easily accessible storage area can help you keep things well-organized. Choose a model that has a large basket under the seat to store all of the extra items like changing mats for babies and a nappy bag. It's also a good idea to include a snack tray and cup holder, so you don't have to reach behind your child to grab drinks or snacks when they feel hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs that have one seat behind the other, are perfect for children of different age, but they can be a bit more difficult to maneuver in narrow spaces than side-by-side models. The CYBEX Gazelle S and Silver Cross Wave offer the best tandem options for twins, while the Evenflo Pivot Xpand double stroller with infant car seat is more affordable and can accommodate two infant car seat carriers or bassinets in double infant strollers mode.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an incredible twin stroller that is available from birth. It works with two infant car seats or carrycots in double buggy converts to single mode (you can also add the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board to make it suitable for three children). In single-seat mode, it has plenty of storage space too and a large under-seat storage basket that's big enough to hold an enormous shopping bag. It comes with a large 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.
Baby is a comfortable fit for both
The best twin pushchairs from birth are designed to ensure that both children are comfortable while strolling. Look for calf bar adjustable, padded seats and recline features. They will give your child the opportunity to stretch out and relax, or sit straight and observe their surroundings.
It's also worth looking for a twin pram with one handlebar, making it easier to steer the pram with one hand. This will make it easier to navigate busy shopping streets and navigate tight turns. Some double buggies have two handlebars, however they aren't always easy 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 them as your babies grow. For instance, the Peach 7 offers two world-facing seats suitable for babies from birth, a cozy parent-facing carrycot, and a toddler seat, making it a great choice for siblings of varying ages.
Other alternatives include the UPPAbaby Vista 2 that can be used with twins or a toddler and baby or even three kids by affixing the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board. It is simple to use and folds up easily.
Tandem buggies are an excellent option for twins. They offer an elegant appearance compared to side-by-side models. One seat is cushioned and reclines to a full angle for babies and the other is more upright and appropriate for toddlers. Some can be converted into one stroller by removing the seat in front. Some aren't able to be slid onto public transport, and they may not be as stable when traveling on kerbs, as a single-pushchair.
Some models fold down smaller than others. This is important when your storage space in your home is restricted. The egg2 is a chic option that can be used as a double or single and comes with a variety of carrycots and infant car seats, so you can adapt to your twins' needs as they grow. It is available in many colors and features a stylish contemporary design.
Easy to clean
Regular cleaning and maintenance will keep your twin stroller in great condition for many years to come. This will prevent issues such as staining, odours, and the growth of mould. It will also help prolong the life of your child's pushchair.

If necessary, use silicone-based grease according to the recommendations by the manufacturer to ensure smooth and constant movement of all components.
