When DCs outgrow infant car seats...

And move into convertible seats, how the heck do you take them in places?  Right now taking them in their infant seats into daycare is working well, but what do I do when the carseats stay in the car?  Thanks!

    Either carry them both, or use the stroller everytime.  it's a pain until they start walking.

    I can't wait to hear the answers because I've been wondering this too.  They are getting too heavy for me to lift them in the carriers anymore. 

    I did buy a cheapo single umbrella stroller and see if I can put one in the stroller and carry the other one into daycare.  Not sure if this will work.  I don't think putting them in the side-by-side will work because it's so heavy and I'd have to fight to get it through the door by myself.  I figured the single umbrella would work better.  My daycare buzzes you in so there will not be anyone there to take one at the door for me.  I already checked and they will allow me to wheel in the stroller - I know some daycares forbid strollers.

    We put our convertible seats one in the middle and one behind the passenger door.  This for me is BY FAR the best because I can easily see and reach both kids.  Also, I can get them both out and carry them into places.  I unhook both their straps, grab the baby in the middle, then grab the baby by the door and head off! 

    I would only do this when I was going short distances.  Any longer distance I would usually take a single umbrella stroller and carry one.  Now that they can walk it is much easier!

    This has been a concern of mine since finding out I was having twins!! I'd love to know how people handle this. I am really only concerned with getting them into the daycare.

    This.  Same as you would do with one baby.
