Why don't they make a lot of twin baby products? I go crazy looking for specific items, but I don't even know if they exist. For example... I really like the infant lounger for when they are little. I was looking for a twin one, but of course I can't find anything like that. They do have the breast feeding double pillow (but I don't plan on breastfeeding per say, just pumping) so I dont really think that would work. Has anyone seen an item like this, or any other item for twins that you had to search for that would be good to share. Thanks ladies

They have twin porta cribs with 2 bassinets on it. I haven't found I huge need for things specifically for twins. We just have two of everything.

I especially like our twin table!

I have been searching too as we're 15 weeks along and I told my mom I'd start registering after the New Year and after we knew what genders they were. ANYWAY, the only twin things I have found are strollers and one pack-n-play but after they're not little anymore for the top part, they can't go in the pack-n-play together. It is a real challenge, isn't it? You would think with the rise in multiples from IF treatments and stuff, manufacturers would offer more options.

To be honest you need alot less then you think. I got away with the large co-sleeper until they were 5 months old. It attached to our bed and made breasetfeeding in the middle of the night easier. I spent the money of the twin nursing pillow and used it a whopping 3 times. I ended up nursing them separately so a boppy worked just fine. The boys shared a crib until 7 months and then I separated them because they were waking each other up. I had one swing and 2 bouncy seats. I would often rotate them between the swing and the bouncy seat and when they were older the activity mat. When I first strated solid foods I fed them in their bouncey seats. I also had 2 bumbo seats and the boys hardly ever used them. I had the double snap and go for our first stroller when they were in their infant car seats. I loved this stroller and hated when they got too big for their infant car seats. Now I have the Maclaren twin techno stroller which I love. You may find that you can get away with one of each of the big items and just rotate the babies. Good luck and welcom to twin mommyhood. It is amazing and exhausting and so worth every minute!!

There was a really big recall on these because parents were putting the children in them on top of tables and the babies were able to tip them over and fall off the table.
They are being sold again, maybe they fixed the design.?
