The Venus also comes with a newborn cocoon to create a flat, comfortable environment and parent or world-facing option for infants. UPPAbaby have even rejigged the design to allow you to attach two cocoons together.
Easy to maneuver
One of the most frequently used baby products after a car seat, a twin pushchair will be the baby's mainstay for a long time, so it's crucial that it's simple to maneuver. The Roma Gemini was a favorite of our home testers due to the fact that it's lightweight, compact and has excellent steering. It also comes with plenty of extras that other brands don't sell separately, like an upholstered seat liner that is fleecey.
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 its width when you need to use the double seat, yet it remains a single footprint in mono mode, making it much easier to navigate narrow spaces rather than side-byside buggies.
Our testers loved the look of this pushchair as well as its numerous extras. But it was also easy to use. It's got a clever folding mechanism that can be folded with a single click. it's also compatible with most car seats, so it's easy to put them in and go. It's a bit big in double mode, but you can purchase a'sidepack' to make it smaller for PS45.
Convenient storage
A twin pushchair with a storage space that is easily accessible and convenient will help you stay organised for more than one child. Pick a model that comes with an ample basket underneath the seat to keep all the extra items like baby changing mats and nappy bag. It's also a good idea to include the cup and snack tray to the holder, so that you do not have to reach behind your child to grab food or drinks when they're hungry.
Tandem twin pushchairs that have one seat ahead of the other, are great for children of different age groups, but can be a bit more difficult to maneuver through small spaces than side-by-side models. The CYBEX Gazelle S or Silver Cross Wave are the most suitable tandem choices for twins. However, the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double offers a more affordable option and can accommodate two infant car seats bassinets or infant carriers.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 stroller is a twin stroller that is able to be used from birth. It works with two infant car seats or carrycots, and can be used in double mode.

It also has a huge under-seat basket that can hold a large shopping cart. It comes with a huge canopy that provides excellent protection from the sun or rain. The clever peekaboo hoods make it easy to keep your baby's attention.
Comfortable for both babies
The most effective twin pushchairs are designed to keep both children happy and comfortable while strolling. Look for adjustable calf bars as well as padded seats and recline features. They will give your child the chance to relax and stretch out or sit straight and observe their surroundings.
It's also worth looking for a twin pram with a single handlebar to make it easier to steer the pram with one hand. This will allow you to navigate through busy shopping streets or make precise turns. Some double buggies come with two handlebars however this isn't always easy to control and could require you to use both hands for pushing.
Some twin pushchairs are able to accommodate various combinations of carrycots and infant car seats, so you can alter the pushchairs as your children develop. For example the Peach 7 offers two world-facing seats that are suitable from birth, a cosy parent-facing carrycot and a toddler seat - making it an ideal option for siblings of different age.
The UPPAbaby PiggyBack Board can be attached to the UPPAbaby vista 2 for use with twins, a toddler and a baby or even three children. Its ultra-light frame that allows it to be used in double mode and can be folded down for easy transport.
Tandem buggies are an excellent option for twins and offer an elegant appearance compared to side-by-side models. One seat is cushioned and reclines to a full-angle for infants and the other is more upright and appropriate for toddlers. They can be transformed into a single stroller by removing the seat in front. They can be difficult to attach to public transport, and they may not be as sturdy as a single pushchair when moving across kerbs.
Some models can be folded up smaller than others. This is important when your storage space in your home is restricted. Egg2 is a beautiful choice that can be used for a single or a double. It also has a variety of carrycots and baby car seats so you can modify it as your twins grow bigger. It's also available in a variety of colours and has an elegant contemporary design.
