 | Baby Trend Double Snap N' Go Stroller
Buy new: $92.86 It doesn't have a ton of bells and whistles, but it will hold 2 car seats with ease, has a nice tray for drinks and general stuff, and the storage area underneath is spacious. It's easy to fold and unfold, and is relatively light. I highly recommend it. It is very long, so it may be difficult to use in, say, a small store.

 | Graco SnugGlider Swing holds SnugRide Infant Car Seat
Buy new: $55.62 This is wonderful. Once you bring the kids in from the car or stroller, they can go straight to the swing without being disturbed - meaning the kids stay asleep and you can get something done! Buy 2.

 | Fisher-Price Papasan Cradle Swing - Nature's Touch
Buy new: $89.99 We borrowed this swing from friends and it is so nice to have. It swings side to side as well as front to back. My kids particularly like looking at the flowers and mirror above them. If they are kind of fidgety, it helps them fall asleep. Having 2 of these may take up half your living room. I have one and do just fine.
|
 | Baby Trend Diaper Champ
This uses regular bags and is easy to use. It has a large capacity and controls odor well.
|
 | Ultimate Crib Sheet
Buy new: $19.99 These are fantastic. They snap on your crib and go on and off easily. You won't believe how often you have to clean the sheets, and it's so much easier to whip this off rather than wrestle with the fitted sheet. Especially in the middle of the night when it's dark and your a zombie. Get at least 2 per crib.

 | Tiny Love Gymini Super Deluxe - Lights&Music
Buy new: $43.00 For the first couple of months, my kids mostly like the mirror (there is only one mirror, so I propped another one up for the other child). There is plenty of room for them both to fit under there, although things may get tight in the coming months. They don't get any of the features yet, but I'm sure that will come. It's just nice to have a place to put one while you're dealing with the other.

 | Fisher-Price Private Connection Monitor with Dual Receivers - White & Grey
Buy new: $129.99 These are great monitors. It's nice to have 2 receivers, especially if you have a two story house. We keep one in our bedroom and one downstairs.
|
 | Boppy Swaddle Happy - Solid Blue
Buy new: $10.95 I really didn't think I would use these. I thought receiving blankets would do the job but alas, they are made too small to do the job well. The babies wriggled out of them every time, especially as they got older. The boppy kind are great, especially for smaller children. However, if you have big babies, like me, they'll grow out of them quickly. Register for 2 per child.

 | The First Years Modular Drying Rack
Buy new: $14.77 I got this drying rack from my MIL after having the one made by Munchkin. This one easily accommodates larger bottles (like Born Free or Avent) and holds all the stuff like collars, nipples, vent systems, etc. It holds 8 bottles, which is the number I ended up using for the kids (any more and it was just too many bottles to fool with.) Also nice - it drains into the sink and is easy to clean.
|
 | Born Free 9-Ounce Wide Neck BornFree Bottles Twin Pack
Buy new: $19.99 I used only Avent bottles until I learned about their BPA problems. I still use Avent but I always hand wash them, never heat them in the microwave, and never store formula in them for long periods. I got a couple of these Born Free bottles for when the formula would be in there for longer periods. Very much like Avent nipples, except softer. Vents are easy to clean.
|
 | Jeep Wrangler Twin Sport All-Weather Umbrella Stroller in Fierce
Buy new: $94.99 This is a great stroller for getting from A to B. Easy to open and close, relatively light, easy to steer (one-handed even!) I like the vents that open to allow for air-flow on hot days.
|
 | BOB Revolution Duallie Stroller in Navy
Buy new: $549.00 We got this stroller because we live in an area where we knew we would "offroad" with the children a lot. It's great for jogging, yes, but also for walking on uneven paths, over grass, etc. Wonderful maneuverability - turns on a dime.
|
 | Kiddopotamus & Co 100% Cotton Knit SwaddleMe® Sage - Small
Buy new: $9.99 We got these when the kids grew out of their smaller ones. They are great. The kids couldn't wriggle out of them. We still use them (arms out) for sleep sacks.
|
 | LeapFrog Spin and Sing Alphabet Zoo
Buy new: $21.99 This has been their favorite toy from about 4 months on. I didn't think they would "get" how to spin it, but after just a few tries they were spinning it themselves. Now that they are older, they are spinning champs - they even do it with their feet.
|
 | Fisher-Price Galloping Fun Jumperoo
Buy new: $56.79 I didn't have this exact one, but the one I got they don't make any more. My son adores this! It was worth every penny just to seem him jump like crazy and laugh the whole time. My daughter wasn't as big a fan, but she still enjoys it.
|
 | Evenflo Exersaucer® Mega Circus
Buy new: $199.99 I got this as a gift and it was a life saver. Both kids really liked it. And, you can buy new toys and move the toys all around. It's also collapsable so we could take it to Grandmom's house. You definitely don't need 2 of these. You can cycle the kids between a jumparoo and the exersaucer. Variety is the key!
