Which Stroller?

So many variables to consider and so many options to look at. As we have come to learn there is never a right answer and never the perfect solution. Since we have twins we have become experts on double strollers, and we currently own two of them - the iCandy Pear from the United Kingdom but should be available in the U.S. soon, and the Maclaren Twin Techno.

We love the iCandy for its size and convenience around New York City, however it doesn't collapse so it is less transportable than other options like the Baby Jogger or Valco Baby. The twins love the side-by-side, forward facing seats of the Maclaren. The Maclaren is also easier to travel with and store conveniently.

Our advice is to go to a stroller store and seek out the advice of an expert and then come home purchase the stroller online for discounts sometimes upwards of 20%.

Love Them Shoes - ROBEEZ

Every toddler should have at least one pair of Robeez, the soft leather shoes for babies through to four year olds that actually stay on your baby's feet. There are over 60 designs to choose from sports, to monsters to cute girly designs.

Bottles That Grow With Your Little One

There are bottles, bottles and more bottles. Your baby will help you choose which one works best for them. We tried a few different options before we settled on DR BROWN'S which has BPA free bottle in three different sizes - 2oz, 4oz and 8oz. Dr Brown's have a two piece internal ventilation system which helps to reduce colic and gas. These bottles are easy to clean by hand or in the washing machine.

Diaper Bags

As important as it is to have your little ones dressed right, it is vital that Mom and Dad look the part too. Your diaper bag goes everywhere your little on goes and choosing the right one can be challenging. You need a bag that does the following:

1. Fits all the necessary items and keeps them organized while you are on the move
2. Won't leak when something inside does
3. Is easy to carry or clip on to your stroller
4. Looks good, especially when Dad is out on his own

There are many sites for that perfect diaper bag but our favorite, for its massive collection and excellent service is DiaperBags.com.

Make Sure You Have a Great Camera

Two camera have been used extensively - Nikon D40 Digital SLR and a Flip Video camera. The Nikon SLR is easy to use and gives consistently good results both indoors and out. The Flip is a great addition to your diaper bag to catch those priceless moments and send them to your friends and family. The Flip is a true point and shoot video camera with easy to use software that allows you to upload your videos and email them to your friends in minutes. More information on both cameras can be found at Best Buy.
