Everything you need two of for twins
When you are expecting twins, doubling up is not always obvious. Some items truly need to be two-per-baby from day one: separate sleep spaces, individual car seats, their own high chairs. Here is every product where our desk recommends buying two, with the reasoning behind each.
Buy 1
What you can share between twins
Not everything needs to be doubled. A double stroller replaces two singles. One baby monitor with a wide-angle lens covers both cribs. One nursing pillow lets you tandem feed. These are the items where one is enough, sometimes better than two.
Skip
What twin parents skip entirely
Some products are not worth the money, the space, or the hassle when you have twins. We are not saying these products are bad. We are saying that for twin parents specifically, the value does not justify the cost or the clutter.
Buy new
What you should buy new for twins
Some items should always be purchased new for safety. Car seats (unknown accident history voids the warranty and protection), crib mattresses (used mattresses carry elevated SIDS risk), and bottles/nipples (degradation is invisible) all fall in this category.
