Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth
The stylish and sleek pushchair can be expanded to twin in just one click. In twin mode, the frame is a bit smaller, but allows to store a shopping basket beside each seat/carrycot. It can be used with two carrycots or car seats to accommodate siblings of different age.
The Venus also includes a newborn cocoon to create a lying-flat environment and parent or world-facing options for infants. UPPAbaby have even rejigged the design to allow you attach two cocoons side-by-side.
Easy to Manoeuvre
One of the most used baby products after a car seat, a twin pushchair will be the baby's home for a long time, so it's essential 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 also comes with plenty of extras that other brands sell separately, including 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 its width when you're required to use the double seat, but it remains a single footprint in mono mode, which makes it more maneuverable through narrow passageways rather than side-byside buggies.
Our testers loved the look of this pushchair as well as its numerous features. But it was also user-friendly. It folds with a single click and is compatible with all car seat models. It's a little long in double mode, but you can buy a "sidepack" to make it smaller for PS45.
Convenient storage
If you have more than one child, a twin pushchair from birth with a convenient and easily accessible storage space will help you keep things well-organized. Choose a model with 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 an eating tray and a cup holder so that you aren't bending over behind your child to get food or drinks when they're hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs, with one seat ahead of the other, are perfect for siblings of varying ages but may be a little more difficult to manoeuvre through tight spaces than side-byside models. The CYBEX Gazelle S or Silver Cross Wave are the top tandem alternatives for twins. However the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers an affordable alternative and can accommodate two infant car seats 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 children). In single-seat configuration, it offers plenty of storage space too and an under-seat basket that's big enough to hold bags of shopping. It comes with a huge canopy that provides excellent protection from rain or sun. The clever peekaboo hoods make it simple to keep your baby's attention.
Comfortable for both babies
The best twin pushchairs are made to keep both children happy and comfortable on their strolls. Look out for padded seats recline features, recline features, and adjustable bar for the calf. They will give your child the chance to relax and stretch out or stand up straight to take in their surroundings.
It is also recommended to look for twin prams with a single handlebar, which makes it easier to steer the stroller using one hand. This will help you to navigate busy shopping streets and navigate tight turns. Some double buggies have two handlebars, but this may be difficult to control and could require you to use both hands for pushing.
Some twin pushchairs are able to accommodate different combinations of carrycots and infant car seats, which means you can alter them as your babies develop. The Peach 7 is a great choice for siblings with varying age ranges, as it comes with two seats that can be used from birth, and a carrycot facing the parent.
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. double buggy is simple to use and folds compactly.
Tandem buggies are another good option for twins and offer an elegant appearance compared to side-by-side models. They typically have one padded seat that reclines fully and is suitable for infants and the other one has a more upright position and can be used by toddlers. They can be transformed into one stroller by removing the seat in front. They can be difficult to connect to public transport and might not be as sturdy as a single pushchair going up and down kerbs.
Some models are able to fold down smaller than others, which can be a good thing if you're low in storage space at home. The egg2 is a chic choice that can be used as a single or double and offers a variety of carrycot and infant car seats, so you can adapt it as your twins develop. It comes in a variety of colors and is stylish contemporary style.

Regular cleaning and maintenance will keep your twin stroller in great condition for many years to come. This will prevent problems like fabric stains, odours and the growth of mould and extend its life.
Begin by vacuuming the seat to loosen up dirt dust, crumbs and grime from all areas using a nozzle that is flexible attachment. This will allow you to access all crevices seams, seams and fabric parts such as the seat canopy, and basket.
After the vacuuming has been completed and the vacuuming is complete, follow the manufacturer's instructions to remove the seat covers pads, liners and pads from the frame of the chassis and washing them on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent appropriate for infants.

Non-fabric components, for example the hinges, wheels, and folding components of your twin pushchair need to be cleaned regularly using a clean cloth to remove any sticky messes or clogged odours. If necessary, a silicone-based lubricant must be used according to the recommendations of the manufacturer to ensure smooth and constant movement of all components.
