  Ah yes, that's the list compiled by the moms on www.twinstuff.com. I used that as my basis for my own recommendations, which I posted on my blog (along with my own personal recommendations for specific brands/types): https://rootbeertwins.blogspot.com/2009/07/registry-recommendations-for-twins.html
