The decision behind this pick
Do I need two play gyms for twins?
No. One large mat or a twin-specific gym beats two small ones, and floor space is the constraint anyway.
Why
Play gyms are floor time, and two babies fit on one generous mat lying side by side or head to head. Two small gyms eat twice the living room and get shoved together within a week. The Skip Hop Double-Up is built for exactly this. Buy a second cheap mat only if you need one on another floor.
When to buy
Around month 1 to 2, when they start tracking the toys overhead.
