twins: Does anyone have twins and use this product?

You would buy your normal size - K'tans are very stretchy! Actually, I would size down, as K'Tans run very large. I was bordering between a medium and large, and I need a small to get baby high and tight like their supposed to be. You could probably find a good video on YouTube that shows how to use it with twins. I think the instructions show how to use it with twins too. You won't be able to carry twins for more than a couple months probably. Stretchy also means saggy with heavier babies or multiples. Once they are around 15lb, they will probably be too big.

Congratulations. I have 9 month old twin boys. I did the same thing: had them in the same crib at first. I used one camera then and when I separated them into their own cribs I ordered another camera on-line and used it with the same monitor. I have the Summer Infant Best View Handheld Color Video Monitor with 2.5" screen. You have to toggle between each camera to view each baby (I was bummed that you couldn't view them at the same time) but it works fine that way. Unless you have your cribs very close together, I would recommend two cameras so you can have them at a good enough distance to utilize the zoom feature. Otherwise, the view is too small and you can't check for their breathing (which I'm sure every mother does in a paranoid moment!) I have the cameras mounted on the wall and they can reach them sometimes but they mostly leave them alone. If they detach the power cord, it will just fall to the floor. It isn't long enough for them to bring into the crib. I mention that because I recently received notification of a strangulation risk from the power cords on these monitors. I saw the photo dramatizations and the cameras were set up on a surface close to the baby's crib. Anyway, that's a few months away for you so you have time to think about changing the placement if you have to. The cameras and monitor work great still. I am very satisfied with them. Have fun!!

I have been using them daily with twins. I will tell you I think the fastest cleaning is to do it right away with soap on a bottle brush with the sponge topper. Literally rinse, scrub, rinse, done.

I am a twin and would say yes unless they share really well. I bought this for my granddaughter and she loves them!

Yes I am using it with my twins they are 2 months old now and I love it! They were 5lbs 11oz & 6lbs 5oz at birth and I first only used the one side together now they are both about 10lbs and sleep in their own sides and still have lots of room to play together when awake.

Yep! My daughter (18 months) would use it on herself, and then want to "suck mommies boogies". I didn't even realize how congested I was one day until she caught me off guard with the Baby Vac. It was amazing the difference...and how much better I felt.

I agree. I don't think 2 children could use this at the same time. It is also not as safe as having them sleep separately.

This was the one item we used from the day she was born, up until 5/6 months! (and we brought it everywhere we went). I adore this product so much that I have bought it for 3 different shower gifts and all 3 friends also used this with the newborns, even the DAY their babies were born (I saw in pictures :) Highly recommend. It can be used for tummy time too, but would need to be near by to prevent rolling (which would be easier since it's at a slight incline).

I don't make the product, they are from China I think. They did work for me, I have a newborn now :) I also gave a few to a friend and she's now pregnant with twins.

Yes. definitely. I am very very happy about this product. Believe me I have been travelling so much with my twins now and had no problems. I havr bob stoller but I use this more than that.

I have twins. I strongly recommend the Graco Snugride 30 Infant Carrier until they are at least six months. You will not want to wake sleeping babies when you get home! And the infant support on the Combi pushes small babies heads forward, which is not good for NICU babies. I speak from experience...I have twins, one was in NICU, and used to foster newborns. I have never had a baby under ten pounds that fit well in this. Three across would be hard to buckle, unless you can reach through the trunk or over the top from the front seat. The buckle pieces have to be overlapped to snap in together at the crotch. That being said, we love this seat for small spaces! My first born used this seat in our sports car for several years. Very light weight and convenient. Can be a pain to install rear facing, if you don't have a tether point. If you buy these, you will want to go to a car seat installation station (check with your hospital). Also, I'll warn you that your babies will likely outgrow these seats by height before they are old enough to use a booster. I ended up buying Britax Boulevards for mine. They have higher quality fabric that is way easier to wipe to clean (you do not want to have to remove the covers when they poop through their clothes or spit up). They also work fine for tiny babies, if you absolutely don't want to purchase infant carriers. Three across all rear facing, all forward facing, and any combination of rear/forward works fine with Britax in our GMC Terrain. Combis are slightly narrower and take up less front to back space, so if you're driving a tiny car, these are for you! If you have a retailer near you, most baby stores will let you take them to the car to try them out. I got a great deal on my Graco carriers at Kohls w/cashback and 30% off. Amazon does occasionally have great deals in the open box section, too. (My other must purchase items for multiples are an Ergobaby Backpack and Podee Feeding System) Congratulations! It will get easier around six months!

I didn't use them on day one, but I did start using them at the hospital with my second and third children; probably on the second or third day. Be sure not to just use it exclusively though. You will want to nurse as much without it as with it. My baby is two weeks old and I still use it about twice a day just to give my nipples a rest. Good luck!

Yes it is -- we have twins and one has the bunny and one has the puppy. The bunny one still works :)

mine are 3 twins, and they love it, its a smaller one, so you might want to look at the quad ATV or some sort,

I have twins as well. Buy two infant car seats and four bases. Then you can snap the car seats into either car as needed, and you don't have to worry abou installing and uninstalling the base every time you switch cars (the most complicated part).

I have a dual, and by the time my daughter was 12 months, her use of the infant side made it actually softer than the toddler side. So now our next baby gets to use the toddler side for better firmness.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I have not found this to be a problem. Neither has my daughter and we have both used it for years.
