The Venus comes with a baby Cocoon that creates a lie-flat and world-facing environment for infants. UPPAbaby have even rejigged the design to allow you attach two cocoons side-by-side.
Easy to manoeuvre
One of the most used baby products following the car seat twin pushchairs will be the baby's primary residence for a long time, so it's crucial that it's easy to move. Our test subjects loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's lightweight, folds up compactly and has a great steering. It comes with a variety of extras that other brands will charge separately.
The Silver Cross Wave is another ideal choice for twins or siblings of varying ages, as it's designed to fit 2 seats and car seats (it is also able to be used with two carrycots in mono mode). The clever frame expands in width when you require the double seat, but it has a single footprint when in mono mode which makes it easier for you to navigate narrow passageways.
Our testers loved the look of this stroller and its numerous features. However, it was user-friendly. It's a smart folding mechanism that can be folded with a single click. it's also compatible with most car seats, so you can simply take them out and go. It can be a bit long when it's in double mode but you can buy a "sidepack" for PS45 to make it smaller.
Convenient storage
A twin pushchair with a storage area that is easily accessible and practical will help you stay organised for more than one baby. Pick a model that comes with a large storage basket under the seat to store all of the additional accessories like changing mats for babies and a nappy bag. A handy cup holder and snack tray are an excellent option, since it helps you avoid reaching behind your kids for a drink and snack when they start to get thirsty or hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs with a single seat in the front make great for children with different ages, but they are more difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces. The CYBEX Gazelle S and Silver Cross Wave are the top tandem options for twins, while the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double is more affordable and can accommodate 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 seat or carrycots and in double mode. It can be paired with the UPPAbaby piggyback board to make it suitable for three children. It's a great size with plenty of storage space in single-seat mode. There's also an under-seat storage basket that's big enough to hold an enormous shopping cart. It features a large canopy that offers excellent protection from the sun or rain. The clever peekaboo hoods make it easy to keep an eye on your baby.
Baby is a comfortable fit for both
The best twin pushchairs from birth are designed to keep both children comfortable while strolling. Find adjustable calf bars as well as padded seats and recline features. These will allow your child to stretch out and relax, or stand up straight to take in their surroundings.
It is also worthwhile to look for a twin pram with one handlebar to make it easier to steer the pram with one hand. This will let you navigate through busy shopping streets or make tight turns. Some double buggies come with two handlebars, but these can be difficult to control and may require both hands to push.
Some twin pushchairs can accommodate various combinations of carrycots and infant car seats so you can alter to your baby's needs as they grow. For instance the Peach 7 offers two world-facing seats that can be used for babies from birth, a cozy parent-facing carrycot as well as a toddler seat - making it a great choice for siblings of various age.
Other alternatives include the UPPAbaby Vista 2 that can be used with twins, a baby and toddler or even three children by affixing the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board. It is easy to use and folds up easily.
Tandem buggies offer a more streamlined look than side-byside buggies and are a great choice for twins. They typically have a cushioned seat that can recline fully and is suitable for infants and the other one has a more upright posture and can be used by toddlers. Some of them can be converted into a single pushchair by taking the front seat. They can be difficult to connect to public transport, and they may not be as stable as a single pushchair travelling up and down kerbs.
Some models fold into smaller sizes than others. This is crucial for those whose storage space is small. The egg2 is a chic option that can be used as a double or a single and comes with a variety of carrycots and infant car seats so that you can modify it as your twins get bigger. It's also available in a range of colours and comes with a modern and stylish design.
