Getting Out With Twins
Getting out with twins can sometimes seem stressful. But, believe it or not, it's actually easier to get out of the house while your twins are still infants. You can put them into infant car seats that can then be snapped into a travel system (See our
Double Stroller Guide
). Couple that with all of the sleeping they'll be doing and you're in pretty good shape for a shopping excursion or other errands. If you have other siblings involved, they can be a blessing or a curse depending on age. Older siblings tend to be a bit more helpful, while younger ones demand more attention. I know this situation well, as I had a two year old when my twins were born. It took some preparation, but I did indeed get out of the house with all three...And
Traveling with twins will be much less complicated with some well thought out preparations. Always pre-pack a diaper bag (or bags)and other necessities and get them loaded into the car ahead of time. Don't forget extra things like: Snacks, sunscreen, toys, or other seasonal items. Consider what you will be doing and try to plan around nap and/or crucial feeding times. If your twins are still needing formula warmed up, be sure to take along a heating mechanism for bottles  .
Quotes:
"I always kept a spare diaper bag in the car stocked with necessities like diapers, wipes, blankets, powdered formula etc. It meant a lot less to pack when leaving the house."
Tip:
If you need to breastfeed twins while shopping at the mall, just ask for a dressing room. Most clerks are happy to lend you the handicapped stall, which can usually accommodate a double stroller. |
