I wrote a post a couple of months ago (see it here) after receiving our TwinGo Carrier. Our twins were too little to wear on the back yet, so my husband and I had been wearing it as single carriers and loving it that way. As previously mentioned, as a single baby carrier the TwinGo is very comfortable and my favorite part is the large storage pocket in the front. So, if you're running a quick errand, or if having to park the stroller and wear your baby into the play gym, let's say, you can throw your phone, wallet, and keys in the carrier and be on your way!
TwinGo works great as independent carriers, and quickly converts to tandem!
Now that our twins are 6 months old and sitting independently, I finally built up the courage to start tandem wearing them occasionally. The first time was for a quick 30 minute walk through the neighborhood with my toddler. Going out without our massive double stroller was exhilarating!! Having my hands free to play with my son or hold his hands was amazing. By the end of the walk, I have to admit my shoulders were aching and I was totally ready to get the girls out. But still, I was so excited to have the ability to throw them both on and go out without a stroller! And they were happy little campers all snuggled up tight with mama!
First time wearing both twins in the TwinGo - SOOOOO excited!!
Wearing two babies definitely requires some building up of strength and endurance, there's no way around that. I try to wear my girls for at least 30 minutes twice a week so that I build my strength, can last longer, and can keep wearing them as they get bigger.
The TwinGo is hands down the best tandem carrier option out there and here's why:
The TwinGo is hands down the best tandem carrier option out there and here's why:
- You can wear the TwinGo as 2 independent carriers.
- When tandem wearing, you remove one set of straps and one waist belt, and the 2 carriers click together making it simple, streamlined, and comfy!
- Each carrier has a large storage pocket so you could go without the diaper bag if needed.
- Each carrier can fold up into its own storage pocket, so they pack nicely!
- The buckles have security elastic loops for extra safety measures.
- Each carrier has a removable sleeping hood (also good for sun protection).
- The shoulder straps and waist belt are super cushiony and comfy, distributing weight well.
- They're machine-washable 100% cotton, good for heights 4'11 - 6'5"!
- Front carry is good from 10-40 pounds, and back carry from sitting independently (4-6 months) til 40 pounds.
- The carriers are color coded to help you when tandem wearing: blue in the back, orange in the front. (Independently they both work in front or back carry).
- They are nice and wide so they are safe for baby's spine and hips.
You think twins get a lot of attention? Try wearing them both! It's a head-turner, for sure!
The TwinGo isn't just for twins - it works well with a baby and toddler as well since each carrier is good up to 40 pounds! When tandem wearing, just wear the heavier child in back.
You can purchase a TwinGo on their website or Amazon for about $215, or try to find one secondhand in a local MoMs (Mothers of Multiples) group. Used ones usually go for about $100 but are hard to find because they're in such high demand (which is a good way to justify purchasing one new - you'll get about half of your investment back after you're done using it!)
So, what do you think?? Do you tandem wear your kids? Would you? How do you get around with your littles? Share in a comment below!!
