Buying a Twin Pushchair From Birth
A sleek and stylish pushchair that expands into a twin with one click. In twin mode, the frame is smaller, but still allows for a basket in front of each seat/carrycot. It can also hold two car seats or carrycots based on the age of your child.
The Venus comes with a new Cocoon which creates a lie-flat and world-facing environment for infants. The UPPAbaby brand has also redesigned the design to let you attach two cocoons side by side.
Easy to Manoeuvre
A twin pushchair is among the most commonly used baby products, after a car-seat. It will be the baby’s primary residence for a long time so it’s important to make it easy to move. Our test subjects loved the Roma Gemini for this – it’s light, folds compactly and has a great steering. It comes with lots of extras that other brands will charge separately.
Silver Cross Wave is a great option for twins and siblings of various ages, since it can be used with two car seats or carrycots (it can also be used in mono mode). The clever frame expands in width when you’re using the double buggy seat, yet maintains a single footprint in mono mode, making it more maneuverable through narrow passageways than side-by-side by side double Pushchairs buggies.
Apart from the appearance and comes with plenty of features, our testers found this stroller really stood out due to its simplicity of use. It folds in a single click and is compatible with the majority of car seat models. It’s a bit long when it’s in double strollers mode but you can purchase a “sidepack” for PS45 to reduce it to a smaller size.
Convenient storage
A twin pushchair with a storage space that is easy to access and easy to access will help you stay organised for more than one child. Pick a model that has a large basket underneath to store all the other accessories like baby changing mats, rain covers and nappy bags. 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 grab food or drinks when they are hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs with one seat in the front make great for children with different ages, but they are more difficult to maneuver through tight spaces. The CYBEX Gazelle S and Silver Cross Wave offer the best tandem options for twins, while the Evenflo Pivot Xpand small double stroller is more affordable and can be used with two infant car seats or bassinets in double pushchair sale mode.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an amazing twin stroller starting at birth. It can be used with two infant car seats or carrycots in double mode (you can even add the UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board to make it suitable for three kids). In single-seat mode, it has plenty of storage space too, as well as a large under-seat storage basket that’s big enough to hold a large shopping bag. It features a large canopy that offers excellent protection from the sun or rain. The clever peekaboo hoods allow you to keep an eye on your child.
Comfortable for both babies
The best twin pushchairs are designed to keep both children content and comfortable on their strolls. Look out for padded seats, recline features and adjustable bar for the calf. These features allow your child to relax and stretch or sit straight up to observe their environment.
You should also consider twin strollers with one handlebar that makes it easier to steer the stroller one-handed. This will allow you to navigate through busy shopping streets or make precise turns. Some double buggies have two handlebars but this isn’t always easy to control and could require both hands for pushing.
Some twin umbrella stroller pushchairs can accommodate different combinations of infant car seats and carrycots. This means you can modify the stroller as your child grows. For instance, the Peach 7 offers two world-facing seats suitable from birth, a cosy parent-facing carrycot as well as a toddler seat, making it the perfect choice for siblings of varying age.
Other alternatives include the UPPAbaby 2 that can be used with twins or a toddler and a baby or even three kids by affixing the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board. It is easy to use and folds compactly.
Tandem buggies have an elegant design than side-byside models and are a good option for twins. One seat is padded and reclines to a full-angle for babies, while the other is more upright and suitable for toddlers. They can be transformed into one stroller by taking out the seat in front. Some are difficult to fit onto public transport, and they may not be as stable traveling on kerbs, as a single-pushchair.
Certain models can fold up smaller than others. This is crucial when your storage space in your home is limited. The egg2 is a stylish choice that can be used as a double or a single and has a wide range of infant car seats, so you can adapt to your twins’ needs as they get bigger. It’s also available in a variety of colors and features a lovely contemporary style.

If required, use silicone-based grease according to the recommendations by the manufacture to ensure smooth and constant movement of all components.
