The Most Common Mistakes People Make With Twin Pushchair
Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth
The stylish and sleek pushchair twin can be expanded to twin in just one click. In twin mode the frame is a little narrower and still has room for a basket beside each seat or carrycot. It can also accommodate two car seats/car carrycots depending on the age of your children.
The Venus comes with a newborn Cocoon that creates a lie-flat and world-facing environment for infants. The UPPAbaby brand has also redesigned the design to let you attach two cocoons side by side.
Easy to maneuver
A twin pushchair is one of the most commonly used baby products, after the car seat. It will be the baby’s home for a long time so it's essential to ensure that it is easy to maneuver. Our home-based testers loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's lightweight, folds up compactly and has a great steering. It comes with lots of extras, which rival brands charge separately.
The Silver Cross Wave is another ideal choice for siblings or twins with different ages since it's designed to take 2 seats and car seats (it can also be used with 2 carrycots in mono mode). Its clever frame can be expanded in width when you require the double seat but maintains one footprint when you're in mono mode which makes it easier to navigate narrow passageways.
Aside from the design that is stunning and has lots of extras, our testers found this stroller really stood out due to its simplicity of use. It has a smart fold that is a single-click and it's compatible with all car seats so you can simply take them out and go. It's a little 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 practical and easily accessible storage area can help you keep things well-organized. Choose a model with an enormous basket under to store all the other accessories, such as baby changing mats rain covers, nappy bags. A handy cup holder and snack tray are an excellent option, since it helps you avoid reaching behind your kids for drinks and snacks when they start to feel hungry or thirsty.
tandem double stroller twin pushchairs with one seat in the front are great for siblings of different ages, but they can be more difficult to maneuver around narrow spaces. 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 to single buggy mode.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an amazing twin stroller starting at birth and 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 kids). It's got plenty of storage space even in single-seat mode. There's also a large under-seat basket that can accommodate a large shopping cart. It comes with a huge canopy that offers great protection from rain or sun. The clever peekaboo hoods allow you to keep an eye on your child.
Baby is a comfortable fit for both
The most effective twin pushchairs from birth are designed to ensure both children are at ease during strolls. Look out for padded seats recline features, recline features, and adjustable calf bars. These will give your child the chance to relax and stretch out or sit straight and observe their surroundings.
You should also look for twin strollers with one handlebar, which makes it easier to steer the stroller using one hand. This will make it easier to navigate busy shopping streets and make tight turns. Some double buggies have two handlebars, however these can be difficult to control and could require both hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs can be used with different combinations of infant car seats and carrycots, so you can adapt the stroller as your child grows. For instance the Peach 7 offers two world-facing seats that can be used for babies from birth, a cozy parent-facing carrycot, and a toddler seat - making it the perfect choice for siblings of various ages.
The UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board can be connected to the UPPAbaby vista 2 for use with twins, a toddler and a baby or even three children. Its ultra-light frame that makes it easy to use in double mode, and it can be compactly folded for transport.
Tandem buggies are an excellent option for twins. They offer a more streamlined appearance than side-by-side models. They usually have one cushioned seat that reclines completely and is suitable for newborns 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 taking the front seat. They aren't easy to connect to public transport and may not be as sturdy as a single pushchair moving between kerbs.
Certain models can fold smaller than others, which could be important if you're short in storage space at home. The egg2 is a stylish choice that can be used as a double or a single and has a wide range of infant car seats so that you can modify it as your twins grow. It is available in many colors and features a stylish contemporary design.
Easy to clean
Regular cleaning and maintenance will keep your stroller in good condition for years to come. This will help prevent issues like fabric stains, odours and mould growth, and prolong its lifespan.
Begin by vacuuming the seat to loosen up dirt dust, crumbs and grime from all areas, using a flexible nozzle attachment. This will allow you to reach into all crevices and seams in the fabric parts, including the seat, canopy and basket.
After vacuuming, remove the seat covers made of fabric pads, liners, and pads and wash them on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent for babies. To avoid water damage and corrosion make sure that all components are completely dry prior to reassembling.
Non-fabric parts, like the hinges, wheels and folding components of your twin pushchair need to be cleaned regularly using a clean cloth to remove any sticky messes or clogged odours. If necessary, a silicone-based lubricant must be used in accordance with the recommendations of the manufacturer to ensure smooth and consistent movement of all components. Regular inspections of your twin pushchair will reveal any signs of wear and tear and allow you to fix these as soon as possible to minimize the chance of more issues.
