Buying a
Twin Pushchair From Birth
The stylish and sleek pushchair expands to a twin in just one click. In twin mode, the frame is smaller but offers enough space for a basket of groceries alongside each seat/carrycot, or it can be used with two car seats or carrycots to accommodate siblings of various ages.
The Venus comes with a baby Cocoon that creates a lie-flat and world-facing environment for infants. The UPPAbaby team has even tweaked the design to let you attach two cocoons side-by-side.
Easy to Manoeuvre
One of the most frequently used baby products following the car seat, a
twin strollers for newborns pushchair will be the baby's mainstay for quite a while, so it's important that it's simple to maneuver. The Roma Gemini was a favorite of our home testers because it's lightweight, compact and has excellent steering. It comes with a variety of extras that competitors charge separately.
The Silver Cross Wave is another excellent choice for siblings or twins with different ages since it's designed to fit 2 seats and car seats (it can even be used with 2 carrycots in mono mode). The clever frame expands widthways when you're required to use the
double pram buggy seat, but it remains a single footprint in mono mode so it's easier to navigate narrow passageways than side-by-side buggies.
Aside from the design that is stunning and has plenty of extras we tested, this model stood out for its simplicity of use. It's a smart, single-click to fold and it's also compatible with most car seats so you can just take them out and go. It's a bit long when in double mode but you can buy a'sidepack' for PS45 to make it smaller.
Convenient storage
A twin pushchair with storage space that is easy to access and convenient can help you stay organized when you have more than one child. Pick a model that has an ample basket beneath to store all the other accessories like baby changing mats rain covers, nappy bags and baby changing bags. It's also a good idea to add a snack tray and cup holder so that you do not have to reach behind your child to grab food or drinks when they feel hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs that have one seat ahead of the other, are perfect for siblings of varying age, but they can be a bit more difficult to manoeuvre through narrow spaces than side-by-side models. The CYBEX Gazelle S and Silver Cross Wave offer the
best double strollers 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 is an amazing twin stroller starting at birth and works with two infant car seats or carrycots in double-mode (you can also add the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board to make it suitable for three kids). It's got plenty of storage space when used in single-seat mode. It also has a huge under-seat storage basket that's big enough to hold a large shopping cart. It has a large canopy that provides excellent protection from rain or sun. The clever peekaboo hoods allow you to keep an eye on your baby.
It is comfortable for both babies and toddlers.
The best twin pushchairs are made to keep both children happy and comfortable on their strolls. Look for adjustable calf bars as well as padded seats and recline features. These will give your child the opportunity to relax and stretch out or stand up straight to take in their surroundings.
