Using Baby Carriers with Twins

So you just had twins and are possible chasing a toddler around the house too! You definitely have your hands full and need some help. Quick!! What kind of baby slings or carriers will work best for you?

While your twins are young, a Moby Wrap is our favorite choice. You can wear the wrap throughout the day and carry one or both babies in the newborn cradle hold.  A baby wrap provides maximum support and evenly distributes the weight across your shoulders and back.

If you want to carry one baby in the carrier at a time, a pouch or ring sling is a good choice. A pouch is faster to put on and great if you need to get one baby settled quickly while you soothe your fussy one in your arms. Since ring slings are adjustable they can be tightened and may be more secure for some types of carries.

Once your twins have head control, you can easily use two pouches or ring slings to carry them on your hip. Wear the slings on opposite shoulders.You can also carry one baby on your front and the other on your back with a combination of baby carriers such as an ERGO Baby Carrier, wrap, and mei tai.

 Go ahead and experiment to find the best fit for you and your twins. What works for one parent might be different for another, but rest assured there are plenty of options for carrying your twins.

    I have twins and I have 2 Ergos but I have never tried to wear both of them at once. That would be way too heavy! But I highly recommend ERGO though.. it’s awesome.
