Changing Pads

Do I need two changing pads for twins?

One in the main room is enough; a second on another floor saves trips. A travel pad is worth having too.

Verdict

Buy one

Used OK

Why

Twins don't both need to be changed on the same pad simultaneously. But a second pad on a different floor or in the diaper bag pays off.

When to buy: Before birth.
Budget pick: One Munchkin Secure Grip + one Skip Hop Pronto.
Premium pick: Keekaroo Peanut Changer (wipe-clean. Saves laundry).
