Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth

The sleek and stylish pushchair can be expanded to twin in a single click. In twin mode the frame is narrower and still has room for a basket next to each seat or carrycot. It can also accommodate two car seats or carrycots based on the age of your children.

The Venus comes with a newborn Cocoon that creates a lie-flat and world-facing environment for infants. UPPAbaby have even rejigged the design to allow you to attach two cocoons together.

Easy to Manoeuvre

A twin pushchair is one of the most commonly used baby items, following a car-seat. It will be the baby's place of residence for a long time so it's essential to make it easy to maneuver. Our home testers loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's light, folds small and has superb steering. It also comes with loads of extras that rival brands don't sell separately, like the seat liner, which is padded and fleecey.

Silver Cross Wave is a ideal choice for twins and siblings of different ages, since it can be used with two car seats or carrycots (it can be used in mono mode). The frame's clever design expands in size when you need the double seat, yet it maintains the same footprint in mono mode which makes it easier to navigate narrow passageways.

Our testers loved the look of this stroller and its numerous features. However, it was easy to use. It's a smart, single-click to fold and it's compatible with all car seats so you can simply take them out and go. It's a bit big in double mode, but you can buy a "sidepack' to make it smaller for PS45.

Convenient storage

A twin pushchair with a storage area that is easily accessible and practical will allow you to stay organized for more than one child. Choose a model with an ample basket beneath to store all the other accessories such as baby changing mats, rain covers and nappy bags. It is also a good idea to include a snack tray and cup holder, so that you don't have to reach behind your child for drinks or snacks when they're hungry.

Tandem twin pushchairs with a single seat in the front are great for children with different ages, but they aren't always easy to maneuver through tight 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 seat carriers or bassinets in double mode.

The UPPAbaby Vista 2 stroller is a twin stroller that is able to be used from birth. It can be used with two infant car seats or carrycots and in double tandem pushchair mode. You can add the UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board allow it to be used by three children. In single-seat mode, it comes with plenty of storage space, as well as a spacious under-seat basket that's big enough for an enormous shopping bag. It comes with a huge canopy that provides excellent protection from the sun or rain. The clever peekaboo hoods make it simple to keep an eye on your child.

It is comfortable for both babies and toddlers.

The best twin pushchairs are designed to keep both children happy and comfortable on their strolls. Look out for padded seats, recline features and adjustable bar for the calf. These features will allow your child to relax and stretch out or sit straight up to observe their surroundings.

It's also worth considering a twin pram that has one handlebar, making it easier to steer with one hand. This will let you navigate through busy malls or take tight turns. Double buggies may have two handlebars however this isn't always easy to control and may require both hands for pushing.

Some twin pushchairs can be used with different combinations of infant car seats and carrycots. This means you can adapt the stroller as your baby grows. For instance, the Peach 7 offers two world-facing seats suitable from birth, a cosy parent-facing carrycot and an infant seat, making it the perfect option for siblings of different ages.

The UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board can be connected to the UPPAbaby vista 2 to use with twins, toddlers and a baby, or even three children. It is easy to use and folds compactly.

Tandem buggies offer a more streamlined look than side-byside models and are a great choice for twins. One seat is padded and reclines to a full-angle for newborns, while the other is more upright and appropriate for toddlers. Some can be converted back to a single pushchair by removing the front seat. Some are difficult to fit onto public transport, and may not be as stable when going between kerbs like a single-pushchair.

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 one or two people. It also has a variety of carrycots and infant car seats, so you can adjust it as your twins get bigger. It is available in many colors and features a stylish modern design.
