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 allow it is possible to attach two cocoons together.
Easy to maneuver
A twin pushchair is among the most popular baby products, right after a car-seat. It will be the baby's place of residence for a long period of time, so it is essential to ensure that it is easy to maneuver. Our test subjects loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's lightweight, folds up tiny and has excellent steering. It comes with lots of extras, and competitors charge separately.
The Silver Cross Wave is another great option for siblings or twins with different ages since it's designed to fit 2 seats and car seats (it can also be used with two carrycots in mono mode). Its clever frame expands in width when you're required to use the double seat, yet maintains a single footprint in mono mode, which makes it much easier to navigate narrow spaces than buggies that are side-by-side.
In addition to the appearance and has lots of extras we tested, this model stood out due to its user-friendliness. It's easy to fold in a single click and is compatible with the majority of car seat models. It's a little long 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 space can help you keep things well-organized. Choose a model with an ample basket beneath for storing all the extra accessories, such as baby changing mats rain covers, nappy bags and baby changing bags. A handy cup holder and snack tray are an excellent option, since it saves you reaching behind your children to grab a drink and snack when they start to get thirsty or hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs, with one seat behind the other, are great for children of different age, but they can be a little more difficult to manoeuvre through small spaces than side-by-side models. The CYBEX Gazelle S and Silver Cross Wave offer the
best double strollers for newborn and toddler tandem options for twins, while the Evenflo Pivot Xpand
double stroller with bassinet is more affordable and can accommodate two infant car seats or bassinets in
double pushchair sale 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 include the UPPAbaby piggyBack board to make it suitable for three children). In single-seat configuration, it offers plenty of storage space and a spacious under-seat basket that's large enough to fit bags of shopping. It has a large canopy that provides excellent protection from sun or rain. The clever peekaboo hoods allow you to keep an eye on your baby.
It is comfortable for both babies and toddlers.
The best twin pushchairs from birth will be designed to ensure that both children are comfortable while strolling. Look for calf bar adjustable as well as padded seats and recline features. These features allow your child to relax and stretch or be seated straight up to watch their surroundings.
It is also recommended to look for twin strollers that have a single handlebar, which allows you to control the stroller using one hand. This will make it easier to navigate busy shopping streets and make tight 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 different combinations of infant car seats, so you can modify them as your babies develop. For example, 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 age.

They typically have one padded seat that reclines fully and is suitable for infants while the other is a more upright posture and can be used by toddlers. They can be transformed into one stroller by taking out the seat in the front. Some aren't easy to fit on public transportation, and they might not be as stable when going on kerbs, as a single-pushchair.
Some models can be folded down smaller than others. This is important if your home storage space is restricted. The egg2 is a chic choice that can be used as a single or
double jogging stroller and comes with a variety of carrycot and infant car seat configurations so you can adapt it as your twins get bigger. It comes in a variety colors and is stylish contemporary design.
