The Venus comes with a baby Cocoon that provides a lie-flat, world-facing environment for infants. The UPPAbaby team has even tweaked the design to allow you to attach two cocoons together.
Easy to Manoeuvre
One of the most frequently used baby products following a car seat A twin pushchair will be the baby's primary residence for a long time, so it's essential that it's easy to manoeuvre. The Roma Gemini was a favorite of our home testers because it is lightweight, compact and has a great steering. It comes with a lot of extras, which competitors charge separately.
The Silver Cross Wave is another excellent choice for siblings or twins with different ages since it's designed to take two seats and car seats (it is also able to be used with two carrycots in mono mode). Its clever frame expands its width when you're required to use the double seat, yet keeps a single footprint when in mono mode so it's much easier to navigate narrow spaces than side-by-side buggies.
Aside from the fact that it looks great and has lots of extras we tested, this model stood out due to its ease of use. It's a smart, single-click to fold and it's also compatible with most car seats, so it's easy to pop them in and go. It's a bit big in double mode, but 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 area can help you keep things organised. Choose a model that has an ample basket underneath the seat to store all the extra items like baby changing mats and nappy bag. It's also a great idea to incorporate an eating tray and a cup holder, so you aren't bending over behind your child for drinks or snacks when they're hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs, which have one seat ahead of the other, are ideal for children of different ages but may be a little more difficult to manoeuvre through small spaces than side-by-side models. The CYBEX Gazelle S and Silver Cross Wave are the top tandem options for twins while the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is more affordable and can be used with two infant car seat carriers or bassinets in double mode.
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 that double as carrycots (you could also add the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board to make it suitable for three children). It has a lot of storage space in single-seat mode. There's also an under-seat storage basket that's big enough to accommodate a large shopping cart. It has a huge canopy that provides excellent protection from sun or rain and it's also simple to monitor your children by using the clever peekaboo-hoods.
Comfortable for both babies
The most effective twin pushchairs are designed to keep both children content and comfortable during their strolls. Look for adjustable calf bars with padded seats, as well as recline features. These features will allow your child to stretch and relax or sit straight up to observe their environment.
It's also worth considering twin prams with a single handlebar to make it easier to steer with one hand. This will allow you to navigate through busy shopping streets or make tight turns. Some double buggies have two handlebars, but they aren't always easy to control and may require that you use both hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs can be used with different combinations of infant car seats and carrycots so you can modify the stroller as your baby grows. The Peach 7 is a great choice for siblings with varying age groups, since it has two seats that can be used from birth and an infant carrycot that faces the parent.
The UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board can be attached to the UPPAbaby vista 2 to 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 is folded down for easy transport.
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 babies while the other is more upright and appropriate for toddlers. They can be transformed into one stroller by removing the seat in front. Some aren't able to be slid onto public transportation, and they might not be as stable when traveling between kerbs like a single-pushchair.
Certain models can fold up smaller than others, which could be a good thing if you're low on storage space at home. Egg2 is a beautiful option that can be used as one or two people. It also comes with a variety of carrycots and infant car seats so you can adjust it as your twins get larger. It comes in a variety colors and is stylish modern design.
Easy to clean
Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your stroller in good condition for many years to come. This will help avoid problems like staining, odours, and mould growth, and prolong its lifespan.
Begin by vacuuming your pushchair with a nozzle attachment that is flexible to remove dirt, crumbs, and grime from every area. This will help get into all the crevices and seams of fabric components including the seat, canopy and basket.
After the vacuuming has been completed and the vacuuming is complete, follow the manufacturer's instructions for removing the fabric seat covers, pads and liners from the frame of the chassis, and then washing them on a delicate cycle using a mild detergent appropriate for infants. Make sure that all components are dry before reassembly to avoid corrosion or water damage.
Non-fabric components, such as the hinges, wheels and the folding parts of your twin pushchair need to be regularly cleaned using an uncluttered cloth to eliminate any sticky messes or hardened odours. If required, use a silicone-based grease as recommended by the manufacture to ensure smooth and continuous movement of all components. Checking your twin pushchair regularly can help you recognize any signs of wear, allowing you to fix them as quickly as possible.
