17 Signs To Know 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 a little shorter, but it still has room for a basket beside each seat or carrycot. It can also accommodate two car seats or carrycots based on the age of your children.

The Venus also comes with a newborn cocoon to create a lie-flat environment, and a parent or world-facing option for infants. The UPPAbaby brand has also redesigned the design to allow you to attach two cocoons together.

Easy to maneuver

A twin pushchair is among the most frequently used baby products, after a car-seat. It will be the baby's place of residence for a long time, so it is essential to ensure that it is easy to maneuver. Our home testers loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's lightweight, folds up tiny and has excellent steering. It also comes with a variety of extras that other brands don't sell separately, like the seat liner, which is padded and fleecey.

Silver Cross Wave is a ideal choice 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). The frame's clever design expands in size when you need the strollers double seat, yet it maintains the same footprint in mono mode, making it easier to navigate narrow passageways.

Apart from the fact that it looks great and comes with plenty of features we tested, this model stood out for its user-friendliness. It's got a clever, single-click to fold and it's compatible with all car seats so you can just pop them in and go. It's a bit big in double mode, but you can buy a "sidepack" to reduce it for PS45.

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 organised. Pick a model that comes with a large basket under the seat to store all of the extra items like changing mats for babies and a nappy bag. A convenient cup holder and snack tray are an excellent option, since it will help you reach behind your kids for drinks and snacks when they begin to feel thirsty or hungry.

Tandem twin pushchairs with one seat in the front are great for children of varying ages, however they aren't always easy to maneuver through tight spaces. The CYBEX Gazelle S and Silver Cross Wave are the top tandem options for twins while the Evenflo Pivot Xpand strollers double is more affordable and can be used with two infant car seats or bassinets in double mode.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an amazing twin stroller from birth and works with two infant car seats or carrycots that double strollers as carrycots (you could also add the UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board to make it suitable for three kids). In single-seat configuration, it offers plenty of storage space and a large under-seat storage basket that's large enough to fit a large shopping bag. It has a large canopy that offers great protection from the sun or rain. The clever peekaboo hoods allow you to keep your baby's attention.

Baby is a comfortable fit for both

The best twin pushchairs are made to keep both children entertained and comfortable during their strolls. Be sure to look for padded seats, recline features and adjustable bar for the calf. These features allow your child to relax and stretch or be seated straight up to watch their surroundings.

It's also worth looking for a twin pram with one handlebar, making it easier to steer with one hand. This will let you navigate through busy malls or take tight turns. Some double single pushchair buggies come with two handlebars however this may be difficult to control and could require two hands for pushing.

Some twin pushchairs can accommodate different combinations of infant car seats and carrycots so you can modify the stroller as your child grows. The Peach 7 is a great option for siblings with different age groups, since it has two seats that are suitable from birth, and a carrycot with the parent facing.

The UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board can be attached to the UPPAbaby vista 2 for use with twins, a toddler and a baby, or three children. It is simple to use and folds up easily.

Tandem buggies are an excellent option for twins and offer a more streamlined appearance than side-by-side models. One seat is cushioned and can recline to a full angle for newborns and the other is more upright and suitable for toddlers. They can be transformed into one stroller by removing the seat in front. Some are difficult to fit onto public transport, and they may not be as stable when moving between kerbs like a Single Double Stroller-pushchair.

Certain models can fold up smaller than others, which can be beneficial if you're strapped in storage space at home. Egg2 is a beautiful option that can be used for one or two people. It also has a variety of carrycots and infant car seats so you can modify it as your twins get bigger. It comes in a variety colors and is stylish contemporary style.

Easy to clean

Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your twin pushchair in great condition for years to come. This will help avoid issues such as staining, odours, and the growth of mould and extend the life of your pushchair.

Begin by vacuuming your pushchair using a nozzle that is flexible to remove dirt, crumbs, and grime from all surfaces. This will let you access all crevices, seams and fabric components like the seat, canopy and the basket.

After the vacuuming has been completed, follow the manufacturer's guidelines for removing the fabric seat covers, pads and liners from the frame of the chassis and washing them on a delicate cycle using a mild detergent appropriate for infants. To avoid corrosion and water damage ensure that all parts are completely dry prior to reassembling.

To get rid of any odours that have hardened or sticky messes, it is recommended to regularly clean the non-fabric components of your twin stroller. This includes the hinges, wheels and folding components. If required, use silicone-based grease according to the recommendations by the manufacturer to ensure smooth and consistent movement of all components. Regular checks of your twin pushchair will identify any signs of wear and tear and allow you to repair them as soon as you can to avoid future issues.
