Easy to manoeuvre
A twin pushchair is one of 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. Our home testers loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's lightweight, folds up small and has superb steering. It also comes with a variety of extras that rival brands sell separately, including the seat liner, which is padded and fleecey.
The Silver Cross Wave is another ideal choice for twins or siblings of varying ages, as it's designed to take 2 seats and car seats (it can even be used with two carrycots in mono mode). The clever frame expands widthways when you need to use the double seat, but maintains a single footprint in mono mode, making it much easier to navigate narrow spaces rather than side-byside buggies.
Our testers were impressed by the style of this stroller and its numerous features. However, it was simple to use. It's got a clever, single-click to fold and it's also compatible with most car seats, so it's easy to take them out and go. It's a little long in double mode, but you can purchase a'sidepack' to reduce it for PS45.
Convenient storage
A twin pushchair with a storage space that is easily accessible and easy to access can help you stay organized for more than one child. Select a model with a large storage basket under the seat to keep all the additional accessories like baby changing mats, nappy bags and baby changing mats. bag. It's also a good idea to add a snack tray and cup holder, so you do not have to reach behind your child to get food or drinks when they feel hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs, which have one seat ahead of the other, are great for children of different age groups, but can be a little more difficult to maneuver in small spaces than side-by-side models. The CYBEX Gazelle S and Silver Cross Wave offer the best tandem options for twins while the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is more affordable and can accommodate two infant car seats or bassinets in double mode.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an incredible twin stroller that is available from 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). In single-seat mode, it has plenty of storage space as a spacious under-seat basket that's big enough for bags of shopping. It comes with a huge canopy that offers excellent protection from sun or rain. The clever peekaboo hoods make it simple to keep your baby's attention.
Comfortable for both babies
The best twin pushchairs from birth are designed to ensure both children are comfortable during strolls. Look for adjustable calf bars as well as padded seats and recline features. These features will allow your child to relax and stretch out or be seated straight up to watch their environment.
It is also recommended to look for twin strollers with one handlebar that allows you to control the stroller with one hand. This will allow you to navigate busy shopping streets and navigate tight turns. Double buggies may have two handlebars, however they can be difficult to control and could require that you use both hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs are able to accommodate various combinations of carrycots and infant car seats, which means you can modify to your baby's needs as they develop. For double pushchair , the Peach 7 offers two world-facing seats that are suitable from birth, a cosy parent-facing carrycot as well as an infant seat, making it a great choice for siblings of various ages.

Tandem buggies have more sleek appearance than side-byside models and are a great choice for twins. One seat is padded and reclines to a full-angle for infants and the other is more upright and suitable for toddlers. Some can be converted to a single pushchair by taking off the front seat. Some aren't able to be slid onto public transportation, and they might not be as stable traveling on kerbs, as a single-pushchair.
Some models are able to fold down smaller than others, which could be beneficial if you're strapped on storage space at home. The egg2 is a stylish option that can be used as a double or single and comes with a variety of carrycot and infant car seat configurations so you can adapt to your twins' needs as they grow. It comes in a variety colors and is stylish contemporary style.
Easy to clean
Regular cleaning and maintenance will keep your stroller in top condition for many years to come. This will help prevent issues like staining, odours, and mould growth, and extend its life.
Start by vacuuming your stroller with a nozzle attachment that is flexible to get rid of crumbs, dirt, and grime from all surfaces. This will allow you to get into the crevices and seams of the fabric components including the seat, canopy and basket.

If required an lubricant based on silicone should be used according to the recommendations of the manufacturer to ensure smooth and consistent movement of all components. Regular inspections of your twin pushchair will reveal any signs of wear and tear, and allow you to address these issues as soon as possible to minimize the chance of future issues.
