The decision behind this pick
Do I need two booster seats for twins?
Maybe. Around 12 months you choose between keeping two high chairs or swapping to two boosters, and the answer is decided by your floor space and your dining chairs.
Why
You still need two seats, since two toddlers eat at the same time. The question is which two. Two full high chairs take a lot of a small kitchen, and two boosters strapped to dining chairs give the floor back and bring the twins to the table. If you bought two Ikea Antilops, keep them: they are small, cheap, and hose off. If you bought two big convertible chairs, they already turn into boosters.
When to buy
Around 12 to 15 months, when both sit steadily and want to be at the table. A hook-on chair earlier for restaurants and grandparents' house.
