Can't purchase me love
My oldest is virtually a calendar month away from turning iv years one-time (where has the fourth dimension gone?) as well as my twins are 14-months old. We beloved to move out of the house, play at a common or indoor play area, walk at the mall on hot or rainy days, as well as go, go, go! Since my married adult man is thence occupied with his classes, most of the fourth dimension it is merely me as well as the boys. With such an active immature family, I beloved babe gadgets that construct my life easier (in illustration you lot haven't noticed all my must-have lists!). Here are my latest lawsuit as well as fault products:
1. Buggy Bench
This is my most recent buy... I absolutely beloved this product. I've posted a few pictures on Facebook and some of friends commented that in that place doesn't look like in that place is much room inward the cart. Agreed. It does accept upwards a practiced portion of the basket. However (a really big however), going into the store amongst the Buggy Bench was much, much easier than pushing a stroller amongst i mitt as well as dragging a shopping cart amongst the other or wearing a babe as well as putting the other babe inward the cart. The picture from a Target trip was from a fourth dimension that I ran into the store. I was able to larn inward as well as move out without assembling as well as disassembling my stroller. I beloved that. For larger shopping trips, yes, this mightiness non live the really best thing. But don't disregard its usefulness. There is a lot of room underneath the shopping cart, a fair amount underneath the Buggy Bench (it is suspended inward the cart), as well as a fair amount behind the Buggy Bench. It is painfully slow to usage as well as holds upwards to xl pounds. My wild kid (pictured inward the Buggy Bench at Target) figured out straight off that he could stand upwards inward the cart spell strapped inward the Buggy Bench. I had to tell him to sit down downwards a few times, but he had no mobility as well as was safely strapped in. Thank you, makers of Buggy Bench, for this swell product!
2. Duo Splash Float
While nosotros are on the dependent champaign of products for twins, I bought the Duo Splash Float a duet weeks agone for puddle trips this summer. It arrived at our abode 2 or 3 weeks agone as well as was moved from room to room, silent inward the box. Neither my married adult man or I could summon upwards the let out energy for a puddle trip. Finally, the beautiful weather condition as well as our three-year old's constant requests to buy the farm somewhere amongst H2O (the beach or the pool) forced us to cave. We spent 3 hours getting create for our puddle trip exclusively to pass xl minutes truly at the pool, already create to buy the farm home. My married adult man as well as I felt nosotros had to rest for at to the lowest degree an hour, later doing that much piece of work to larn there, but the babies were exhausting. D had a fabulous time, doing his three-year one-time things inward the 18-inch deep water. C didn't desire to sit down inward the float. O wanted to walk around the shallow swim surface area inward the float. C wanted to force on the float; O didn't desire C pulling on the float. C wanted inward the water, out of the water, dorsum inward the water. When nosotros were sitting amongst our things yesteryear the pool, i babe would buy the farm inward i direction, the other would accept off somewhere else. Meanwhile, nosotros silent needed to buy the farm on a unopen optic on our H2O logged three-year old. It was exhausting. The puddle float was swell when both babies were inward it. One adult could safely supervise both children inward the float spell the other adult watched the three-year old. I don't know how people buy the farm to the puddle amongst one-year one-time twins. I am jump as well as determined to figure out the trick; it was painfully obvious at the puddle that nosotros do non know the play a joke on yet.
3. TOMS Shoes
Now, I beloved $20 shoes that do a globe of practiced (buy a pair, they give a pair to children inward need). I besides intend that they are absolutely adorable. But notice how the soles are completely peeling off? This is what happens later a month--yes, xxx days-- of a three-year one-time wearing TOMS shoes. Total allow down. It kills me because I beloved their piece of work as well as I beloved supporting Christian companies. More than likely, I volition purchase him some other pair (good cost as well as he tin pose them on easily), but they volition non live outdoor play shoes.
4. National Zoo Boonie Hat
Very specific, I know. But I beloved these hats. They sell them at the National Zoo inward Washington DC. (I did construct the header a link thence you lot tin purchase them online.) Buying hats for boys is hard. The mentum strap is commonly Velcro or necktie strings-- my children tear both of those off their heads immediately. I besides receive got a hard fourth dimension finding wide-brimmed hats for boys. The terminal wide-brimmed lid I bought that wasn't a National Zoo i was dubbed a "bonnet" yesteryear my husband's co-workers:
I had a duet problems amongst the "bonnet" hat, bought at Target 3 years ago. It tied, which I don't like, and, spell H2O resistant, it did non buy the farm on its cast when moisture or inward the wind. The National Zoo hats buy the farm on their cast when they are wet, thence you lot don't receive got the work of the brim inward their eyes-- a large motivator to rip the lid off-- as well as it silent keeps the Sun off their faces. The best matter is the mentum strap... it has a plastic slice that slides upwards as well as down. I tin larn it correct underneath their chins where it isn't easily reached as well as you lot tin rapidly adapt it-- wasting fourth dimension tying merely draws attending to the fact that you lot are attaching something to their heads. D had his outset National Zoo lid bought for him 2 years ago; since then, I receive got bought 3 more, some other for D as well as i for each of the babies. (Look at the painting demo for the Duo Splash float as well as you lot volition run across the babies wore them inward the pool.)
7. Thermos FUNtainer Bottles
8. Booginhead Sippigrip and Baby Buddy Secure-A-Toy
This is my most recent buy... I absolutely beloved this product.

I rave about our stroller constantly on my blog, but it merely fits our lifestyle thence well. Since buying a double stroller is an investment, I am pleased that ours has paid off thence well. I experience similar that it makes getting out of the theatre easier. I've truly come upwards to appreciate how slow it is to clean. It is amazing what I tin do amongst five minutes as well as a babe wipe or xxx minutes as well as a moisture launder cloth. I besides truly similar the full-coverage hoods. I tin safely pass extended times outdoors amongst them inward the Sun because of how good the hoods protect them. I don't know how I would deal wild one-year olds amongst a hard stroller.

| Hydrating amongst their Thermos cups later our puddle trip |
I know what you lot are thinking, "$20 for a sippy cup?" Well, outset of all, you lot tin honor swell deals on Amazon. Second of all, these sippy cups do non leak. Let me state it i time again thence you lot tin allow that fact sink in: they do non leak. When you lot leave of absence the theatre amongst i babe you lot tin larn away amongst a inexpensive Nuby no-spill straw cup thrown inward your purse. Trust me, it volition tumble all over within your purse. When you lot leave of absence the theatre amongst 2 babies as well as 2 sippy cups, you lot do non desire the hassle of dripping liquids all over your purse, van, or stroller. I used every construct of sippy loving cup amongst my oldest, trying to honor a no-spill that was no-spill. The Nuby flip transcend straw cups were the closest that I establish to no-spill, though they silent did spill. I silent usage Nuby cups. I started amongst their sippy cups because they were sold inward a inexpensive 4-pack at our wholesale store. Now I usage their flip transcend straw cups because buying all Thermos FUNtainer bottles would live ridiculously expensive. But, on the trips where I do non desire to bargain amongst leaky cups, I stick to the Thermos cups.

| At our twin grouping picnic; sippy cups firmly attached! :) |
These are what I usage to strap our sippy cups as well as toys to the stroller. It is truly hard to buy the farm on rails of all the toys as well as sippy cups 2 babies receive got when you lot are pushing a stroller. Strapping everything inward is a lifesaver. I similar the Booginhead Sippigrips because they are somewhat stylish. We used their pacigrips as well as loved them. I saw a friend amongst the Sippigrips as well as straight off had to purchase some myself. I similar the Baby Buddy Secure-A-Toy because they are inexpensive as well as slow to use. For some reason, nosotros deal to lose the Secure-A-Toy straps. We motion the straps from the stroller to their carseats to the shopping cart as well as all of a abrupt they are nowhere to live found! I similar existence able to inexpensively supervene upon them. (We never take the Sippigrips off their stroller.)

9. Hot Sling
There seems to live some kind of "baby wearing" tendency going on. Personally, babe wearing is horrible for my back. There are times that it is unavoidable:
Sometimes on route trips, my stroller is inaccessible as well as babe wearing is the easiest option. The babe on my dorsum is inward a hand-me-down Evenflo Trailtech hiking backpack that tin stand upwards independently. That backpack has worked swell as well as served me good for many purposes, such every bit dual babe wearing or loading as well as unloading twins from my mini van without a stroller or infant carriers. But nix volition ever supervene upon my Hot Sling. When I originally bought the sling, it cost me $40 at Target. Now I intend you lot receive got to purchase them online (I bought my 2nd i on Amazon). The sling carries newborns to 45 pound toddlers. It is made of a circle of fabric-- no adjusting-- that you lot bend inward one-half to wear. Because of this design, I tin rapidly as well as easily pose it on or bend it upwards to shove inward a bag. It is the easiest, cheapest, as well as best sling I receive got come upwards across. It disperses the weight exceptionally good (a practiced characteristic for this momma amongst a bad back). I used my sling a lot amongst my first; I was non a fan of strollers dorsum then. Mostly when I usage the sling now, it was for pre-Buggy Bench shopping trips or times when i of the boys becomes exceptionally upset as well as I demand to comport him for a bit. I highly recommend this sling!

10. Coach Diaper Bag
Before you lot merely mock my list, "$20 sippy cups, an expensive stroller, as well as at nowadays a Coach diaper bag?!" delight take away heed me out. I would similar to state that my Coach diaper pocketbook was a gift from my mother. She bought it for me a duet years agone when I told her that nosotros were going to live trying i time again to receive got some other babe (as it turns out, babies). If you lot do a search for "twin diaper bags," you lot volition honor that in that place are a lot of-- excuse me-- ugly options out there. I wanted to percentage amongst you lot that my Coach diaper pocketbook has been wonderful. It is large. Inside in that place are a lot of swell compartments. I do non buy the farm on the changing mat within the bag. (Mostly because I am never, ever grabbing the diaper bag, i child, as well as heading the bath to alter a diaper. I ever halt upwards changing both babies at the same time, thence I buy the farm on my diaper pocketbook nether my stroller as well as my changing mat inward the topographic point dorsum of the stroller.) The zipper is slow to zip closed as well as the pocketbook has held upwards every bit good every bit my Coach bags do, fifty-fifty amongst all the use. The outset duet months it was a footling full, though it silent zipped closed fine. I commonly pose our bottles inward a thermal pocketbook as well as carried them separate. With my oldest, I merely used inexpensive diaper bags from Target. I went through 2 or 3 of them. I receive got been using this Coach pocketbook since the boys were born as well as it silent looks great. So, if you lot are searching for a diaper pocketbook for twins as well as dismayed at the "twin diaper bag" options, consider a Coach diaper bag.
I'm certain I tin intend of to a greater extent than things that nosotros usage as well as rely on, but I experience similar my terminal list covers a lot of the things that nosotros silent usage day-to-day, such every bit the hand-me-downs, Bumbos, Sleep Sheep, pacifiers, as well as high chairs.
