What do you really need two of?

I know you need two cribs, highchairs and carseats. But what about swings, bathtubs, boppys, bumbos, etc?  What am I not thinking of?

Re: What do you really need two of?

  • 2 Boppies will save your life, and definitely 2 bouncy seats.

    I never had a swing, and never really missed having one either.  1 Bathtub is fine.  We have 2 bumbos, but don't really use them all that often.  I would say pretty much everything else we have 1 of, and just kind of rotate them through (i.e. stationary entertainer, activity mat, jumper, etc).

  • I've been wondering this same thing, what do I really need two of.  As far as the swing and bouncy seat go I was just thinking that we would rotate the kids when they needed a change.  Other than the car seat and crib (which they will be sleeping together anyway at first) I'm not sure what we are going to get two's of yet.  But I have a ways to go yet to decide!!

  •  These are the things that we use 2 of...

    -2 boppys definitely!

    -2 swings

    -2 bouncers

    You only need one bathtub since you can only bathe one baby at a time. Also, a double snap n go stroller has been the best purchase I made!!

  • 2 Boppys!!!!!

    2 bouncy chairs.

    I think that's about it.

  • We couldn't live without 2 bouncy seats.   We have 2 boppy pillow and use them both as well.  We only have one tub because I can only do one at a time, but when they get bigger we will get 2 of the sitting seats for bathing so they can be in the tub together.

  • 2 swings, 1 bathtub, 2 boppys, 2 bumbo's.
  • We use 2 boppy's and 2 bouncy seats.  We still don't have a swing and as of now, I am not missing it.  They share an activity mat and when they use them, they will rotate the exercauser and jumperoo thing.  I have one Bumbo that I got on CL and if they both like it, I will pick one up from there.  They are so much cheaper and super easy to clean.  We only have one tub, too.

  • 2 Boppys

    We had one swing and neither of them really liked it, so I'm glad we only had the one.

    1 activity mat - they both fit on it together for a long time

    1 tummy time mat - just rotate them on and off it because they wouldn't stay on their tummy very long anyways.

    1 bathtub

    2 bumbos, they LOVED these at 4 months and up.

    1 jumperoo - when one was in the jumperoo, the other was in the exersaucer and vice versa.

    1 exersaucer

    2 walkers - they love seeing each other run around and "chasing" the dog around

  • i have registry recs for twins on my blog--link in siggy.

  • We have 2 very different bouncers, so that they can rotate when they get bored. No swings here!

    One activity mat. No Bumbos, though I have heard good things about them. We will get 1 jumperoo (& possibly an exersaucer, space-permitting). 1 bath tub is enough. HTH!

  • - 2 bouncy chairs (i got the boppy cradle in comfort chairs and use them for feeding)

    - 2 swings (mine are addicted to them)

    - 2 bumbos

    - 1 activity mat

    - 1 tub, although it's easier for me to get in the tub myself and have DH hand them to me one at a time - they get a quick scrubdown, he takes the first one and hands me the second one, then takes the second one and i can finish bathing.

    i had two boppy pillows but never used them.

  • THe item I couldn't live without is the Fischer Price Infant to Toddler rocker...I feed them in it, they sit in it, nap in it, etc etc.
