Easy to manoeuvre

One of the most used baby products is a car seat twin pushchairs will be the baby's home for a long time, so it's essential that it's simple to maneuver. Our test subjects loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's lightweight, folds up small and has superb steering. It also comes with loads of accessories that rival brands don't sell separately, like the seat liner, which is padded and fleecey.

The Silver Cross Wave is another great option for twins or siblings of different ages as it's designed to accommodate two seats and car seats (it can even be used with two carrycots in mono mode). Its clever frame expands widthways when you're using the double stroller with bassinet seat, but keeps a single footprint when in mono mode, making it much easier to navigate narrow spaces than side-by-side buggies.

Our testers were impressed by the style of this pushchair and its numerous extras. However, it was simple to use. It's a smart, single-click to fold and it's compatible with all car seats so you can simply put them in and go. It's a little long in double mode, however 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 can help you keep things well-organized. Select a model with a large basket underneath to store all the additional accessories like baby changing mats rain covers, nappy bags. It's also a great idea to include a snack tray and cup holder, so that you aren't bending over behind your child to grab a snack or drink when they are hungry.

Tandem twin pushchairs that have one seat in the front are great for children of different ages, but they are more difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces. The CYBEX Gazelle S or Silver Cross Wave are the top tandem choices for twins. However, the Evenflo Pivot Xpand double running buggy offers an affordable alternative and can accommodate two infant car seats bassinets or infant carriers.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an incredible twin stroller that is available from birth. It can be used with two infant car seats or carrycots in double-mode (you can also add the UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board to make it suitable for three children).

Baby is a comfortable fit for both

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

It's also worth considering twin prams with a single handlebar to make it easier to steer the pram with one hand. This will allow you to navigate through busy shopping streets or make tight turns. Some double buggies come with two handlebars. However, they can be difficult to control and could require both hands to push.

Some twin pushchairs can accommodate different combinations of infant car seats and carrycots. This means you can alter the stroller as your baby grows. For instance the Peach 7 offers two world-facing seats that can be used from birth, a comfortable parent-facing carrycot, and a toddler seat - making it the perfect option for siblings of different age.

They can be difficult to connect to public transport and might not be as sturdy as a single pushchair going across kerbs.
