I cannot imagine not having had the carrier seats, it just makes it so much easier. They're 14mo &amp; still using them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multiples-and-car-seats#post-2036902 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 00:32:14 +0000 PinkElephant 2036902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have twins but to speak to what twodoghouse said about small babies, MaxiCosi does a good job of catering to tiny ones - I had two 5.5 pounders and they felt snug and secure in MaxiCosi Mico/Pebble seats from the beginning.</p> <p>And I'm sorely missing the convenience of an infant seat for my older daughter - she stayed in it til at least 18 months. I can't imagine doing convertible seats for two kids who can't follow directions/stand and wait their turn to get buckled - it's hard enough doing one convertible and one capsule! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multiples-and-car-seats#post-2036793 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 21:53:37 +0000 Boogs 2036793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No doubles, but if I could go back in time I wouldn't buy the travel system. A snap and go works just as well, is lighter, and cheaper. And for little babies, I felt like the infant seat was invaluable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multiples-and-car-seats#post-2036377 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 18:16:33 +0000 sunshineandsushi 2036377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have Britax B Safe infant car seats when they were babies. Instead of getting extra bases for our second at though, we got convertible car seats to save money down the road. Then around 9 months we switched out infant car seats for convertible ones in my car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multiples-and-car-seats#post-2036336 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 17:47:57 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2036336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister has twins and had Chicco KeyFits and snapped them into City Select double stroller. They use their stroller a ton because they live in a very walkable neighborhood and the nanny takes the twins to a nearby park every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multiples-and-car-seats#post-2035803 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 14:10:45 +0000 marionberry 2035803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>While they haven't popped out yet, we have two Chicco Keyfits for the twins along with a TwinRoo (a double snap n go basically). We don't foresee the need for an actual double stroller until they get much bigger. We always used our snap n go much more than our regular stroller for the first 9 months or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multiples-and-car-seats#post-2035703 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 13:36:46 +0000 twodoghouse 2035703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have infant car seats for my kids. No travel system, but I did get a double snap n go, as well as a big side by side stroller. One thing to keep in mind is that twins may be smaller than your average newborn, so you want a carseat that starts at 4 lbs. My kids were full term and left the hospital at 4.5 lbs and 5.5lbs. So glad we had thought ahead to get infant seats that fit tiny babies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multiples-and-car-seats#post-2035692 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 13:33:40 +0000 hilary 2035692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have infant car seats for my twins. I live in the Midwest where winters are cold so it's easier to load them up indoors and put the car seat cover over them rather than figure out how to keep them safe and warm in a convertible seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multiples-and-car-seats#post-2035634 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 13:16:42 +0000 mrsrugbee 2035634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dont have twins but I used to babysit a pair. Their mom had a pair of graco snugrides that they used well over a year. Just much easier to strap them in indoors </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multiples-and-car-seats#post-2035582 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 12:57:56 +0000 BSB 2035582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you have or had multiples, did you go with infant car seats or a convertible car seat?</p> <p>Also, did you buy one of those travel systems? There was a Graco travel system for twins on Amazon lightning yesterday and I wondered what current moms do. </p>
