Twin carriers

Hi ladies! I'm pregnant with my 2nd set of twins and would like to wear this set more often than I did the first. What carriers for twins do you recommend at either the newborn or older baby stage? I used the moby a little the first time around but never got that comfortable in it. I'm hoping to find something I really like this time!!
Two sets of fraternal twins, 23 mos. apart First set born 12/27/12 at 35w0d via IVF Second set born 11/18/14 at 35w6d via FET

    We loved out k'tans when the babies were little. It has the same feel as the Moby but is much less complicated. I could never manage wearing more than 1, but apparently there is a way to hold them both when they are infants. 

    2nd set of twins? Wow - congratulations!

  • Right now I mostly wear DS in soft structured carriers, but am thinking of getting a size 7 wrap to try some tandem carries with the twins. There is a great Facebook group (tandem baby wearing) where people post lots of videos and pictures. Another option I have seen is two ring slings.

  • I have a size 6 woven wrap that I think I can wear both of them in when they are little.  I'm thinking about getting a size 7 to do tandem carries with one on front and one on back for when they get bigger.  I never got really good with wrapping with my DS, so I would like to be better about it this time.  I mostly wore DS in a Beco Gemini and have a friend who wears her almost 18 month old twins in soft structured carriers with one on the front and one on the back. 

    I'm going to have to look into the tandem baby wearing group!  There are also some videos on youtube.

  • In times of dire emergency I've done two Ergos (one in front, one in back) and an Ergo on the back and mei tai on the front, but it for sure is not my preferred way to get around and do things.

  • We have something called a twintrexx2, the babies seem to like it but be warned it's a pita to get them in it. I have to put it on the bed, get them in it and then lay down between them and pull them around me because putting them in while wearing it is basically impossible when you're alone. It starts at 7lbs
