Essential Baby Gear for Raising Twins


If you are (or are about to be!) a parent of twins, find out what baby gear you need to make your life a little easier—and what you need to double up on.

Two Car Seats


It’s probably a no-brainer, but if you want to leave the hospital with both your precious newborns, you’re going to need one car seat per baby. Not all car seats are designed for small babies, so always check the minimum weight requirement. Look for other features such as ease of installation, adaptability to travel systems, and simplicity to clean.
A top-rated seat, this infant car seat fits infants from 4 to 30 pounds and up to 30 inches. The seat itself weighs just 10 pounds—something you’ll appreciate as you’re toting two baby-filled car seats, as well as supplies. $230.

One Stroller


Whether you’re going for a stroll around the neighborhood or running errands, a double stroller will come in handy. There are plenty of options for every budget, starting with a simple double stroller frame that will be compact and lightweight for the infant stages. But if your budget allows it, consider investing in a stroller that will grow with your kiddos.
This compact side-by-side stroller will grow with your babies, supporting up to 40 pounds per seat and allows you to fit through doorways with ease at only 25 inches wide—about the same width as most single strollers. For infants, use adaptors (sold separately) to clip on your car seats. $650.

Two Cribs


Your twins may prefer sleeping together at first, but eventually you will need two cribs. Look for cribs that will grow with your children—adjustable mattress height and optional toddler bed conversion kits will make your crib last a little longer.  
Give your nursery a classic look with the simple lines in this convertible crib. Made from solid pine and available in painted white or gray, this crib will grow with your little ones. Available with an optional toddler bed conversion kit, this crib is sure to be home to lots of dreamy sleep-filled moments. $399.

Two Bouncer Seats


You’re not going to be able to hold your little ones 24/7. Give your arms a break and let your babies enjoy some time alone in a bouncer seat. You’ll need one seat per baby, but before you break open both boxes, make sure to test out just one seat at a time. Not all babies like the motion of bouncer seats, so try each individually before you recycle the boxes.
This is the crème de la crème of bouncer seats. With five movement settings at variable speeds, five standard sounds with the option to use your own music (all controlled from your smart phone), and an adjustable seat recline, your babies (5 to 25 pounds) will relax from the swaying and rocking of this seat. *shown in Grey, $175.

    I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.

11 Sleep Tips for Traveling With Children When a friend told me she packs a suitcase full of her daughter’s favorite stuffed animals when they travel, I wasn’t surprised. My family resembles a traveling caravan at airports as we transport all our gear. Although trips with kids aren’t quite as blissful and relaxing as those pre-kid vacations, advance planning helps. With summer vacation season around the corner, here are my sleep tips for babies and toddlers to alleviate some stress while on the road. Start your trip well-rested.  Travel, whether by car, plane, or train, can rob anyone of shut eye, but it especially takes its toll on young children and babies who accumulate sleep debts quickly. Aim to have your child well-rested before leaving for your trip, taking restorative naps, and sleeping well at night for the days preceding your departure.. Babies and children whose sleep tanks are full can adapt much easier to schedule changes and a little lost sleep here or th...
