A twin pushchair is among the most popular baby products, right after a car-seat. It will be the baby’s home for a long time, so it is essential to make it easy to move. Our home-based testers loved the Roma Gemini for this - it's lightweight, folds up small and has superb steering. It also comes with plenty of extras that rival brands offer separately, such as an upholstered seat liner that is fleecey.
Silver Cross Wave is a great option for twins and siblings of various ages, because it can be used with two car seats or carrycots (it can be used in mono mode). Its clever frame expands in width when you need the double seat, yet it maintains the same footprint when you're in mono mode which makes it easier for you to navigate narrow passageways.
Our testers were impressed by the style of this pushchair and its numerous features. It was simple to use. It folds in a single click and is compatible with the majority of car seat models. It can be a bit long when in double mode but you can purchase a "sidepack" for PS45 to make it more compact.
Convenient storage
A twin pushchair with storage space that is easy to access and practical will help you stay organised if you have more than one child. Select a model with a large basket under the seat to store all the additional accessories like changing mats for babies and a nappy bag. A handy cup holder as well as snack tray are an excellent option, since it will help you reach behind your children for drinks and snacks when they feel hungry or thirsty.
Tandem twin pushchairs, with one seat ahead of the other, are ideal for siblings of varying ages but may be a little more difficult to maneuver through tight spaces than side-byside models. 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 seats or bassinets in double mode.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an amazing twin stroller from birth and works with two infant car seats or carrycots in double mode (you could also include the UPPAbaby piggyBack board to make it suitable for three children). In single-seat configuration, it offers plenty of storage space too and an under-seat basket that's big enough for a large shopping bag. It comes with a large canopy for excellent protection from rain or sun, and it's also easy to monitor your children with the clever peekaboo hoods.

The best twin pushchairs are made to keep both children happy and comfortable on their strolls. Look for calf bar adjustable with padded seats, as well as recline features. These will allow your child to stretch out and relax or stand up straight to take in their surroundings.
You should also consider twin strollers that have one handlebar, which makes it easier to steer the stroller with one hand. This will make it easier to navigate busy shopping streets and navigate tight turns. Some double buggies come with two handlebars however this may be difficult to control and could require both hands for pushing.
Some twin pushchairs can accommodate various combinations of infant car seats so you can alter the pushchairs as your children grow. The Peach 7 is a great choice for siblings with varying age ranges, as it comes with two seats that can be used from birth, and a carrycot with the parent facing.
Other alternatives include the UPPAbaby Vista 2 that can be used with twins or a toddler and a baby or even three kids by affixing the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board. Its ultra-light frame that makes it easy to use in double mode and is folded down for easy transport.

They typically have a cushioned seat that reclines completely and is suitable for newborns and the other one has a more upright posture and is suitable for toddlers. Some can be made into a single stroller by removing the seat in the front. Some aren't able to be slid onto public transport, and they may not be as stable traveling between kerbs like a single-pushchair.
Some models can be folded up smaller than others. This is essential for those whose storage space is limited. The egg2 is a stylish choice that can be used for either a single or double.

Easy to clean
Regular cleaning and maintenance will keep your stroller in top condition for many years to come. This will help prevent problems like staining, odours, and the growth of mould and extend the life of your pushchair.
Begin by vacuuming the seat to remove dirt, crumbs and grime in all areas with a flexible nozzle attachment. This will help get into the crevices and seams of the fabric parts, including the seat, canopy and basket.
After the vacuuming has been completed and the vacuuming is complete, follow the manufacturer's instructions for removing the fabric seat covers, pads and liners from the frame of the chassis, and then cleaning them on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent appropriate for infants. To prevent corrosion and water damage make sure that all components are completely dry prior to rebuilding.
Non-fabric parts, like the hinges, wheels, and folding components of your twin pushchair must be cleaned regularly using an uncluttered cloth to eliminate any sticky messes or hardened smells. If needed, apply a silicone-based grease, as suggested by the manufacturer to ensure smooth and continuous movement of all components. Regularly checking your twin pushchair can help you identify any signs of wear, allowing you to repair them as quickly as possible.
