Thursday June 4, 2009
You need double of everything with twins, right?

Instead of purchasing two expensive bath seats, which can cost $20-$40 (each!), consider using a laundry basket for older babies and toddler twins. It is the right size to contain their little bodies and keep them upright so they don't slide around in the tub. Plus, it can double as storage for all those bath toys once twins are out of the tub. (Don't even think about asking them to share toys in the tub -- you'll definitely need double of those!) Find more Bathtime Tips for Twins.

What a great idea! With so much equipment available for babies, families with twins could easily empty their bank accounts and fill up their houses. It’s nice to have a cheap replacement for at least one of those items.
Great idea! Love things that have multiple uses. I wouldn’t be wasting money on two bath seats, but would have laundry baskets to use for their original intended purpose.
