Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth

The sleek and stylish pushchair can be expanded to twin in just one click. In twin mode the clever frame is a bit smaller, but allows to store a shopping basket beside each car seat, or it can take two car seats or carrycots to suit siblings of varying age.

The Venus also comes with a newborn cocoon to create a lying-flat environment that is a parent-facing or world-facing option for infants. UPPAbaby have even rejigged the design to allow you attach two cocoons side by side.

Easy to Manoeuvre

A twin pushchair is among the most popular baby products, right after a car-seat. It will be the baby’s home for a long period of time, so it's essential to ensure that it is easy to maneuver. Our home testers loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's lightweight double pushchair, folds up small and has superb steering. It comes with a variety of extras, which competitors charge separately.

Silver Cross Wave is a ideal choice for twins and siblings of different ages since it can be used with two car seats or carrycots (it can also be used in mono mode). The clever frame expands in width when you require the double pram and pushchair seat, yet it maintains the same footprint when you're in mono mode, making it easier to navigate narrow passageways.

Aside from the appearance and has lots of extras, our testers found this stroller really stood out due to its ease of use. It folds in a single click and compatible with most car seat models. It's a bit big in double buggy mode, but you can buy a "sidepack" to reduce it for PS45.

Convenient storage

A twin pushchair with a storage area that is easy to access and convenient can help you stay organized if you have more than one child. Pick a model that comes with a large storage basket under the seat to keep all the additional accessories like changing mats for babies and a nappy bag. It's also a great idea to add a snack tray and cup holder, so that you aren't bending over behind your child for drinks or snacks when they're hungry.

Tandem twin pushchairs double, with one seat in front of the other, are great for siblings of varying age groups, but can be a bit more difficult to manoeuvre through narrow spaces than side-by-side models. The CYBEX Gazelle S or Silver Cross Wave are the most suitable tandem choices for twins. However, the Evenflo Pivot Xpand double umbrella stroller offers a more affordable option and can accommodate two infant car seats bassinets or infant carriers.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an amazing twin stroller from birth. It works with two infant car seats or carrycots that double push Chair as carrycots (you can also add the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board to make it suitable for three children). In single-seat mode, it comes with plenty of storage space too as a large under-seat storage basket that's big enough to hold an enormous shopping bag. It has a large canopy that offers great protection from the sun or rain. The clever peekaboo hoods make it simple to keep an eye on your baby.

Comfortable for both babies

The best twin pushchairs from birth will be designed to ensure that both children are comfortable during strolls. Look for adjustable calf bars, padded seats and recline features. These features will allow your child to relax and stretch or be seated straight up to watch their environment.

You should also consider twin prams with one handlebar, which allows you to control the stroller using one hand. This will let you navigate through busy shopping streets or make precise turns. Double buggies may have two handlebars, but these aren't always easy to control and may require you to use both hands to push.

Some twin pushchairs are able to accommodate various combinations of infant car seats and carrycots so you can adapt the stroller as your child grows. For example, the Peach 7 offers two world-facing seats that are suitable from birth, a comfortable parent-facing carrycot as well as a toddler seat, making it a great choice for siblings of various age.

Other options include the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be used with twins or a toddler and a baby or even three children by affixing the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board. It is simple to use and folds up easily.

Tandem buggies have more sleek appearance than side-by-side models and are a good option for twins. They typically have one padded seat that reclines fully and is suitable for newborns while the other is a more upright posture and is suitable for toddlers. They can be transformed into one stroller by taking out the seat in the front. They can be tricky to attach to public transport and may not be as stable as a single pushchair when going across kerbs.

Certain models can fold up smaller than others. This is important for those whose storage space is restricted. The egg2 is a stylish option that can be used as a double or a single and has a wide range of infant car seat configurations so you can modify it as your twins get bigger. It's also available in a range of colours and comes with an elegant contemporary design.

Easy to clean

Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your twin pushchair in good condition for many the years to come. This will prevent issues such as fabric stains, odours and the growth of mould. It will also help prolong its life.

Begin by vacuuming your pushchair with a flexible nozzle attachment to eliminate crumbs, dirt and grime from every area. This will let you get into all the crevices seams, seams and fabrics such as the seat canopy and the basket.

After vacuuming, remove the seat covers pads, liners, and cushions and wash them in the gentle cycle with mild detergent suitable for babies. Make sure that all components are dry prior to reassembling to prevent water damage or corrosion.

Non-fabric components, such as the hinges, wheels and folding components of your twin pushchair need to be regularly cleaned with a clean cloth to remove any sticky residues or hardened smells.
