updated must haves for twins

themrsbird

A bump search showed a 2012 thread as the most recent - so moms who have already been there:what were your must haves?

We will be getting a Valco Baby Twin Tri Mode stroller 2nd hand from a friend (our 2 year old looooves the stroller still) & I know we'll need 2 swings, bouncers, & basinettes... but ate there any products you found particularly helpful? Space saving would be amazing as we will be a family of 5 in a 2 bedroom, 1 bath house!

My list is from 2013, I can put the link here.

My only thoughts are 2nd hand Mamaroos would be better than swings and bouncers.

We are doing just fine with one swing and one bouncer, but LOVE having two travel bassinets (https://www.gracobaby.com/products/pages/travel-lite-crib-with-stages-peyton.aspx). These will last longer than a traditional bassinet ...

Yeah we're hoping for mamaroo but we're in a very small town & the nearest store that carries them is 2+hours away (so not many available to buy 2nd hand). Love the look of the travel bassinet ten-day you use them at home also or just traveling?

We use them at home too. We keep them in the living room for naps and they slept in them in our room for the first little bit they were home.

The only two twin specific things are the bunch buggy (total life saver from about 4 months on) and the twin z pillow

We have bouncer/swing combo that's great! And a twin pack n play.

What is a bunch buggy? I googled it and got a bunch of beetles.

Bench Buggey @WillyBean

I think the Bench Buggey thing just rocked my world.

Are you all about the buggy bench? That attaches to the cart? Cause that thing is amazing!!

WillyBean

Ah. We don't have one of those but normally there are two of us pushing two carts so not needed here. I can't live without their mamaroos (that's where they sit when they drink their bottles now that they are too heavy to swing) and their zippy sleep sacks. Also loving their high chairs that attach to the table - they have come in pretty handy during our summer vacations so far.
