Twin wearing suggestions

Suggestions on which "baby wearing" slings are best for twins? I have a 2.5 year old son who will be almost three when his sisters arrive and I will need some hands free time.

I didn't baby wear with him, he was not a fan.

Been looking at the Moby and Maya wraps, but they do not have much info on using with twins.

Re: Twin wearing suggestions

  • I'm loving my Moby for wearing both girls!!! Pretty easy to get them in too (once you get hang of it )

  • While a little pricy, I saw this one mentioned on Lucie's List (and the author raved about it), and when I investigated, I saw that they can specially modify it for twins. Allegedly it also provides extra support if you have a c-section (which I know I'll need), so I'm thinking of giving it a try.

  • I never got the hang of both in a moby. I could do it but I felt I needed a hand on both so I only did it to calm them or for us all to nap in a recliner. I was never "hands free". I did love one baby in a moby and did that often when only one was fussy.

    We have two ergos that we use a lot for outings but its one adult per baby. Ive never tried both alone

  • I have been using the moby, but I'm thinking about getting a woven wrap. I found a group on Facebook that gives great advice. I think it's tandem baby wearing. My local multiples group is having someone come in to discuss this next week and we will be able to try different ones out.

  • I tried babywearing both at once and honestly, it never worked too well for me.  I never felt that they were completely secure and so I would end up using one hand to support them anyway.  And, once they were a 2-3 months old, they didn't even like to be held together on my lap because they started  crowding each other and would get super fussy.
