17 Reasons Why You Should Ignore Twin Pushchair

Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth

The sleek and stylish pushchair expands to a twin in a single click. In lightweight twin stroller mode the frame is shorter, but it still has room for a basket in front of each seat/carrycot. It can also hold two car seats/car carrycots depending on the age of your children.

The Venus also comes with a newborn baby cocoon to create a flat, comfortable environment that is a parent-facing or world-facing options for infants. The UPPAbaby brand has also redesigned the design to let you attach two cocoons together.

Easy to Manoeuvre

A twin pushchair is one of 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’s important to ensure that it is easy to maneuver. Our home-based testers 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 don't sell separately, like an upholstered seat liner that is fleecey.

The Silver Cross Wave is another ideal choice for siblings or twins with different ages since it's designed to accommodate 2 seats and car seats (it is also able to be used with 2 carrycots in mono mode). Its clever frame expands in width when you need the double seat, but it has a single footprint when in mono mode, making it easier to navigate narrow passageways.

Apart from the appearance and comes with plenty of features the test group found that this model stood out for its ease of use. It has a smart folding mechanism that can be folded with a single click. it's also compatible with a lot of car seats, so it's easy to pop them in and go. It's a bit long when in double mode but you can buy a "sidepack" for PS45 to make it more compact.

Convenient storage

A twin pushchair with a storage area that is easily accessible and convenient will allow you to stay organized when you have more than one baby. Pick a model that comes with a large basket under the seat to store all the extra accessories such as changing mats for babies and a nappy bag. It is also a good idea to incorporate an eating tray and a cup holder so that you do not have to reach behind your child to grab food or drinks when they feel hungry.

Tandem lightweight twin stroller pushchairs, with one seat ahead of the other, are ideal for siblings of varying age, but they can be a bit more difficult to maneuver in tight spaces than side-byside models. The CYBEX Gazelle S and Silver Cross Wave provide the most suitable tandem options for twins, while the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is more affordable and can be used with two infant car seats or bassinets in double mode.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 stroller is a twin stroller that can be used from birth. It can be used with two infant car seats or carrycots and in double mode. It can be paired with the UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board to allow it to be used by three children. In single-seat configuration, it offers plenty of storage space as a large under-seat storage basket that's big enough for bags of shopping. It comes with a huge canopy that offers excellent protection from sun or rain. The clever peekaboo hoods make it simple to keep your baby's attention.

Baby is a comfortable fit for both

The most effective twin pushchairs are designed to keep both children happy and comfortable during their strolls. Look for calf bar adjustable, padded seats and recline features. These will give your child the opportunity to stretch out and relax, or sit up straight to observe their surroundings.

It is also worthwhile to look for twin pushchair from birth prams with one handlebar, making it easier to steer with one hand. This will let you navigate through busy shopping streets or make precise turns. Double buggies may have two handlebars. However, these aren't always easy to control and could require you to use both hands to push.

Some twin pushchairs can accommodate different combinations of infant car seats and carrycots, so you can modify the stroller as your child grows. For example the Peach 7 offers two world-facing seats suitable from birth, a comfortable parent-facing carrycot as well as a toddler seat, making it an ideal option for siblings of different ages.

Other options 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 makes it easy to use in double mode and is folded compactly for transport.

Tandem buggies have more sleek appearance than side-by-side models and are a great option for twins. They usually have one padded seat that reclines fully and is suitable for infants and the other one has a more upright position and is suitable for toddlers. Some can be converted back to a single pushchair simply by removing the front seat. Some aren't able to be slid onto public transportation, and they might not be as stable traveling up and down kerbs as a single-pushchair.

Some models are able to fold up smaller than others, which can be a good thing if you're low on storage space at home. The egg2 is a stylish option that can be used as one or two people. It also comes with a range of carrycots as well as infant car seats, so you can modify it as your twins get bigger. It's also available in a range of colours and has an elegant contemporary design.

Easy to clean

Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your twin pushchair in a great condition for long time to come. This will prevent issues such as fabric stains, odours and the growth of mould and extend its life.

Begin by vacuuming the seat to remove dirt dust, crumbs and grime from all areas, using a flexible nozzle attachment. This will let you access all crevices seams, seams and fabric parts such as the seat canopy and the basket.

Once the vacuuming process is completed, follow the manufacturer's guidelines to remove the seat covers pads, liners and pads from the frame of the chassis, and then washing them on a delicate cycle with mild detergent that is suitable for infants. To prevent corrosion and water damage, ensure that all parts are completely dried before the reassembling.

To eliminate any odours that have become hardened or sticky messes, regularly clean the non-fabric parts of your twin stroller. This includes the hinges, wheels, and folding components. If needed, a silicone-based lubricant should be used according to the recommendations of the manufacturer to ensure smooth and consistent movement of all components. Regular inspections of your twin pushchair can reveal any signs of wear and tear, and allow you to repair them promptly to avoid more problems.
