Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth
A sleek and stylish pushchair that can be expanded into a twin with just one click. In twin mode, the frame is smaller, but still allows for a basket beside each seat/carrycot. It can also take two car seats/car carrycots depending on the age of your children.
The Venus also comes with a newborn baby cocoon to create a lie-flat environment that is a parent-facing or the world-facing option for infants. The UPPAbaby brand has also redesigned the design to allow you attach two cocoons side by side.
Easy to maneuver
One of the most frequently used baby products following a car seat A twin pushchair will be the baby's mainstay for quite some time so it's crucial that it's simple to maneuver. Our home testers loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's lightweight, folds up small and has superb steering. It also comes with loads of extras that rival brands offer separately, such as an upholstered seat liner that is fleecey.
Silver Cross Wave is a excellent choice for twins or 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 widthways when you're using the double seat, but maintains a single footprint in mono mode so it's easier to navigate narrow passageways rather than side-byside buggies.
Our test subjects loved the design of this pushchair and its numerous features. However, it was user-friendly. It's got a clever, single-click to fold and it's also compatible with a lot of car seats, so you can simply put them in and go. It's a bit long when in double mode but you can buy a "sidepack" for PS45 to reduce it to a smaller size.
Convenient storage
If you have more than one child and a twin pushchair for birth with a handy and easily accessible storage space will help you keep things organized. Select a model with an enormous basket under to store all the additional accessories like baby changing mats rain covers, nappy bags. 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 grab drinks or snacks when they are hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs, with one seat ahead of the other, are great for siblings of varying age, but they can be a little more difficult to maneuver through tight spaces than side-byside models. The CYBEX Gazelle S and Silver Cross Wave offer the best tandem options for twins, while the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is more affordable and can accommodate two infant car seats or bassinets in double mode.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an amazing twin stroller starting at birth. It works 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). It's a great size with plenty of storage space even in single-seat mode. It also has a huge under-seat basket big enough to hold an enormous shopping cart. It comes with a massive canopy to provide incredible protection from the rain or sun and it's also simple to check on your babies by using the clever peekaboo-hoods.
It is comfortable for both babies and toddlers.
The most effective twin pushchairs are designed to keep both children happy and comfortable on their strolls. Be sure to look out for seats with padding, recline features and adjustable calf bars. These will give your child the opportunity to stretch out and relax, or sit up straight to observe their surroundings.
It's also worth looking for twin prams with a single handlebar to make it easier to steer the pram with one hand. This will allow you to navigate busy shopping streets and negotiate tight turns. Double buggies may have two handlebars, but this isn't always easy to control and may require both hands for pushing.
double stroller are able to accommodate different combinations of carrycots and infant car seats, which means you can adapt them as your babies grow. For instance the Peach 7 offers two world-facing seats that are suitable from birth, a cosy parent-facing carrycot, and a toddler seat - making it a great choice for siblings of varying age.
Other alternatives include the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be used with twins or a toddler and a baby or even three kids by affixing the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board. It has a super-slim frame that allows it to be used in double mode, and it can be folded compactly for transport.
Tandem buggies are another good alternative for twins and provide an elegant appearance compared to side-by-side models. They typically have a cushioned seat that can recline fully and is suitable for newborns and the other has a more upright posture and can be used by 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 transportation, and they might not be as stable when going on kerbs, as a single-pushchair.
Certain models can fold down smaller than others. This is important if your home storage space is small. 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 alter to your twins' needs as they grow. It's also available in a variety of colours and has an elegant contemporary design.
