15 Gifts For The Twin Pushchair Lover In Your Life
Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth
The sleek and stylish pushchair expands to a twin in just one click. In twin mode the frame is a little smaller, but still allows for a basket beside each seat or carrycot. It can also hold two carrycots/car seats depending on the age of your child.
The Venus comes with a baby Cocoon that provides a lie-flat, world-facing environment for infants. UPPAbaby have even rejigged the design to let you attach two cocoons together.
Easy to Manoeuvre
A twin pushchair is among the most popular baby items, following the car seat. It will be the baby’s home for a long time, so it is essential to ensure that it is easy to maneuver. Our home testers loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's lightweight, folds up small and has superb steering. It comes with a lot of extras that other brands will charge separately.
The Silver Cross Wave is another great option for siblings or twins of varying ages, as it's designed to fit two seats and car seats (it is also able to be used with two carrycots in mono mode). The frame's clever design expands in size when you require the double stroller for twins seat, but it has a single footprint in mono mode, making it easier to navigate narrow passageways.
Our testers were impressed by the style of this pushchair as well as its numerous features. However, it was easy to use. It's a smart, single-click to fold and it's also compatible with most car seats, so you can simply pop them in 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 convenient and easily accessible storage space will help you keep things organised. Select a model with an enormous basket under for storing all the extra accessories like baby changing mats, rain covers and nappy bags. It is also a good idea to include the cup and snack tray to the holder, so that you aren't bending over behind your child for food or drinks when they feel hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs, with one seat ahead of the other, are perfect for siblings of varying age groups, but can be a bit more difficult to manoeuvre through small spaces than side-by-side models. The CYBEX Gazelle S or Silver Cross Wave are the best tandem options for twins. However the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers the most affordable option and can accommodate two infant car seat bassinets or infant carriers.
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 can be used in double single pushchair mode. You can also add the UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board make it work for three children. It has a lot of storage space in single-seat mode. It also has a huge under-seat basket big enough to accommodate an enormous shopping cart. It features a large canopy that provides excellent protection from sun or rain. The clever peekaboo hoods make it easy to keep an eye on your baby.
Baby is a comfortable fit for both
The best twin pushchairs are made to keep both children entertained and comfortable during their strolls. Find adjustable calf bars as well as padded seats and recline features. These features allow your child to relax and stretch or stand straight to observe their surroundings.
It is also worthwhile to look for a twin pram that has one handlebar, making it easier to steer one-handed. This will make it easier to navigate busy shopping streets and negotiate tight turns. Some double stroller with bassinet buggies come with two handlebars but this can be harder to control and may require you to use 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. The Peach 7 is a great option for siblings of different age groups, since it has two seats that are suitable for babies from birth. It also has a carrycot with the parent facing.
The UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board can be attached to the UPPAbaby vista 2 to use with twins, a toddler and a baby, or three children. It has a super-slim frame that allows it to be used in stokke double stroller mode and can be folded compactly for transport.
Tandem buggies have more sleek appearance than side-byside buggies and are a great option for twins. One seat is padded and reclines to a full-angle for newborns and the other is more upright and appropriate for toddlers. Some can be converted back to a single pushchair by taking off the front seat. Some are difficult to fit onto public transport, and they may not be as stable traveling up and down kerbs as a single-pushchair.
Some models are able to fold smaller than others, which could be important if you're short on storage space at home. Egg2 is a beautiful choice that can be used for either a single or cheap double buggy. It also comes with various carrycots and baby car seats so you can adjust it as your twins grow larger. It comes in a variety of colors and features a stylish modern design.

Start by vacuuming your stroller with a flexible nozzle attachment to eliminate crumbs, dirt, and grime from all areas. This will let you access all crevices seams, seams and fabrics such as the seat, canopy and the basket.
