Maclaren Double Stroller (or other side-by-side stroller)
Strollers are one of those things that are really based on personal preference, and it seems like everyone has the kind they like the best. In my case, I have several I like. I have a jogging stroller for running and other outdoor activities, but the Maclaren Twin Techno has always been my go-to stroller for everything else. I bought one when my girls were born, and they used it until my boys were born, and then they used for three more years. It held up beautifully, and we put it through a lot! They’re actually for newborns too, so they serve a wide age range. I’m all about side-by-side strollers for twins–no fighting over who gets the front or back! Plus, they’re easier to steer! I was actually surprised at how small it does fold up–it’s not tiny, because it’s still a double stroller, but it doesn’t take up tons of room either.
My twins are 26 years old now. It’s amazing how many great things they have come up with since my kids were little! Now I am planning a baby shower for a friend with preemie twins. Thanks for great ideas for her. My favorite toy (when the kids were toddlers) was a red Flexible Flyer teeter totter. 2 or 3 kids could rock on it at once. Everyone was happy at the same time!
That flexible flyer teeter totter sounds awesome! I wish I could find it now!!!
Hello my name is Kim I’m a mom of girl and boy twins my favorite thing to use was a twin stroller but the seats faced each other so my baby’s could always see each other and play I don’t see strollers like that anymore and that’s sad because it keeps the little ones occupied I use to call mine the twin Limo I’d say who wants to go in the limo and my baby’s would get so excited well now my twins are 30yrs old but we had so many fun times taking the limo to the park
Hello, fellow twin mom! :) I don’t think I’ve ever seen a stroller like that, but it sounds awesome!! xoxo

I love our Maclaren. It fits through standard doors and folds up really compact so it doesn’t take a ton of room in the trunk. My twins are two now and its probably been our most used baby item.
I also second the Boppy. I tried one of the double nursing pillows with my twins and the thing is ridiculosly huge. Plus my twin boys were always trying to touch and bug each other when they were nursing. Which led to them jerking their heads back. Not a comfortable experience when they are lactated on trying to nurse. I just gave up and feed them separately using the Boppy. For me it was so much easier and I feel like didn’t really take much more time because they focused more when they were nursing one at a time anyway.
Yes—LOVE the Maclaren!! So glad to hear another twin mom feels the same!! xoxo
