Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth

Easy to Manoeuvre
A twin pushchair is among the most commonly used baby products, right after the car seat. It will be the baby's place of residence for a long time so it is essential to make it easy to move. The Roma Gemini was a favorite of our home testers due to the fact that it is lightweight, compact and has a great steering. It also comes with a variety of accessories that rival brands offer separately, such as an upholstered seat liner that is fleecey.
The Silver Cross Wave is another excellent choice for siblings or twins with different ages since it's designed to fit two 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 seat, yet keeps a single footprint when in mono mode, which makes it much easier to navigate narrow spaces than buggies that are side-by-side.
Our test subjects loved the design of this stroller and its many extras. It was simple to use. It's easy to fold in a single click and compatible with most car seat models. It's a bit big in double mode, however 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 handy and easily accessible storage area can help you keep things organised. Select a model with a large storage basket under the seat to store all the additional accessories like changing mats for babies and a nappy bag. It's also a good idea to add the cup and snack tray to the holder, so that you don't have to reach behind your child to get food or drinks when they're hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs, which have one seat ahead of the other, are great for siblings of varying age, but they can be a little more difficult to manoeuvre through tight spaces than side-byside models. The CYBEX Gazelle S and Silver Cross Wave offer the best tandem options for twins while the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is more budget-friendly and can take two infant car seat carriers or bassinets in double mode.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 stroller is a twin stroller that can be used from birth. It works with two infant car seat or carrycots and also in double mode.

There's also an under-seat storage basket that's big enough to accommodate a large shopping cart. It has a huge canopy to provide excellent protection from rain or sun, and it's also easy to monitor your children by using the clever peekaboo-hoods.

Some twin pushchairs can accommodate different combinations of infant car seats and carrycots. This means you can adapt the stroller as your baby grows.

Tandem buggies are an excellent option for twins. They offer an appearance that is more sleek than side-by-side models. They typically have a cushioned seat that reclines completely and is suitable for infants while the other is a more upright posture and is suitable for toddlers.

Easy to clean
Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your stroller in top condition for years to come. This will avoid issues such as staining, odours, and mould growth. It will also help prolong the life of your child's pushchair.
Begin by vacuuming the seat to get rid of dirt dust, crumbs and grime from all areas, using a flexible nozzle attachment. This will help reach into all crevices and seams of the fabric components, including the canopy, seat and basket.
After the vacuuming has been completed, follow the manufacturer's guidelines for removing fabric seat coverings, pads and liners from the frame of the chassis and washing them on a gentle cycle using mild detergent that is suitable for babies. Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembly to prevent water damage or corrosion.

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.
