Easy to Manoeuvre
One of the most commonly used baby products after the car seat A twin pushchair will be the baby's primary residence for quite a while, so it's essential that it's simple to maneuver. Our home-based testers loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's light, folds tiny and has excellent steering. It comes with a lot of extras that competitors charge separately.
The Silver Cross Wave is another ideal choice for siblings or twins of different ages as it's designed to take two seats and car seats (it is also able to be used with two carrycots in mono mode). Its clever frame expands in width when you need to use the double seat, yet keeps a single footprint when in mono mode, which makes it much easier to navigate narrow spaces than side-by-side buggies.
Our testers were impressed by the style of this pushchair as well as its numerous features. But it was also easy to use. It's easy to fold with a single click and is compatible with all car seat models. It's a little long when it's in double mode, but you can buy a "sidepack" for PS45 to make it smaller.
Convenient storage
If you have more than one child A twin pushchair from birth with a practical and easily accessible storage area will help you keep things organized. Select double seat stroller with an ample basket beneath to store all the additional accessories, such as baby changing mats rain covers, nappy bags. A handy cup holder as well as snack tray are also an excellent choice, as it helps you avoid reaching behind your children to grab a drink and snack when they begin to get thirsty or hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs with a single seat in the front are ideal for siblings with different ages, but they aren't always easy to maneuver through narrow spaces. 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 be used with two infant car seat carriers or bassinets in double 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 could also include the UPPAbaby piggyBack board to make it suitable for three kids). It has a lot of storage space when used in single-seat mode. There's also a large under-seat storage basket that's big enough to accommodate an enormous shopping cart. It has a huge canopy that provides incredible protection from the sun or rain and it's also a breeze to check on your baby with the clever peekaboo hoods.
Baby is a comfortable fit for both
The best twin pushchairs are designed to keep both children content and comfortable while strolling. Be sure to look out for seats with padding with recline features, as well as adjustable calf bars. These features will allow your child to stretch and relax or sit straight up to observe their environment.
It is also worthwhile to look for a twin pram that has one handlebar, making it easier to steer the pram with one hand. This will let you navigate through busy shopping streets or make precise turns. Double buggies may have two handlebars but this can be harder to control and could require two hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs are able to accommodate various combinations of infant car seats and carrycots so you can alter the stroller as your child grows. For example the Peach 7 offers two world-facing seats that can be used from birth, a cosy parent-facing carrycot, and an infant seat, making it the perfect choice for siblings of various age.
Other options include the UPPAbaby Vista 2 which can be used with twins or a toddler and a baby or even three kids by affixing the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board. It is simple to fold and folds down compactly.
Tandem buggies provide a more streamlined look than side-byside models and are a great choice for twins. One seat is cushioned and reclines to a full-angle for babies, while the other is more upright and appropriate for toddlers. Some can be converted to a single pushchair by removing the front seat. Some aren't able to be slid onto public transport, and they may not be as stable when going on kerbs, as a single-pushchair.
Some models are able to fold up smaller than others, which can be beneficial if you're strapped in storage space at home. The egg2 is an elegant option that can be used as one or two people. It also comes with various carrycots and baby car seats so you can alter it as your twins grow bigger. It's also available in a range of colours and has a lovely contemporary style.

Regular cleaning and maintenance will keep your stroller in good condition for many years to come. This will prevent problems like fabric stains, odours and the growth of mould and prolong its lifespan.
Start by vacuuming your stroller with a flexible nozzle attachment to eliminate crumbs, dirt, and grime from all surfaces. This will help reach into all crevices and seams in the fabric parts, including the canopy, seat and basket.
Once the vacuuming process is completed Follow the manufacturer's instructions for removing the fabric seat covers, pads and liners from the frame of the chassis and washing them on a gentle cycle with mild detergent that is suitable for babies. Make sure that all components are dry prior to reassembling to prevent corrosion or water damage.
To eliminate any odours that have become hardened or sticky messes, it is recommended to regularly clean the non-fabric parts of your twin stroller. This includes the hinges, wheels, and folding components. If required, use a silicone-based grease, as suggested by the manufacture to ensure smooth and continuous movement of all components. Regular inspections of your twin pushchair will identify any signs of wear and tear and allow you to repair them as soon as you can to reduce the risk of future problems.
