Baby gear (stroller, bassinet, crib etc.)
I cannot rave about the Zoe three seater stroller enough. It folds up so small and has a smaller clearance for doors then most double strollers. I loved the set up of seats but loved how light weight and easy to use it was. We did upgrade to the all ...
Strollers – Zoe
These car seats were easy to use and it was easiest to move the kids in and out of the car. We were able to keep the boys in these until almost a year. Extra bases can be passed to your village or extra cars. The bases are very easy to install. We us...
Chicco KeyFit 30 Infant Car Seat & Base
Extra bases for cars the babies might travel in. I loved not having to move the bases in between cars.
Chicco KeyFit Infant Car Seat Base, Anthracite
We have four of these and transitioned to them after the infant car seats. These are the slim enough to have three across in most cars.
Graco Slimfit 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat
This is the boosters we will eventually transition to and what I have for our oldest. I love that it uses the anchors to clip in. Having it clipped in helps the seat to not move around and the kiddo to be more independent in buckling their self.
Chicco KidFit ClearTex 2-in-1 Booster Seat
Having space for two cribs can be difficult. I love these delta mini cribs if space is tight. My kids were comfortable in these well passed a year.
Dream On Me 2-in-1 Folding Mini Baby Crib
I love that this has the double bassinet. You have to be careful with these pack and play sets though because sometimes the tops are not actual rated for sleep safety. We kept the pack and play in the living room for day time naps and changing time.
JOYMOR Twin Bassinet Bedside Sleeper Gray
We had two of these for the infant stage. I l loved that they were sturdy and have a wide base. We have big dogs and I didn’t want it to be able to be knocked down. Another feature I like was it was adjustable and relatively high so an item wouldn’t ...
Arm’s Reach Clear-Vue Co-Sleeper Bassinet White
This was the best carrier we could find without being front to back. This worked great through the first year.
TWIN carrier
I loved the soft carriers and used them daily. I used my soft carrier most recently for my 3 year old. These were more comfortable for me then structured carriers but not as good for long trips or hiking.
Sleepy Wrap Ergonomic Baby Carrier Sling
Feeding
Hands down my favorite breast pump across all three pregnancies. I took it to the hospital for births 2 and 3 because I wasn’t a fan of the one they provide. You have to make sure you have the correct size flange (I found out the hard way). I loved t...
Spectra S1 Plus Electric Breast Pump with Tote
These bottles were the go to. They have only three parts and a wide mouth so are easy to clean. The nipple is suppose to support breast feeding when babies combo feed and the speed that milk comes out is reported to mimic the breast.
NUK Simply Natural Baby Bottle SafeTemp 5oz 4ct
The twins spent some time in NICU, and due to their premie stays this was the bottle they transitioned home on. Twin B had some feeding struggles and remained on these bottles for awhile. They were great for feeding but awful for cleaning
Dr. Brown's Natural Flow Anti-Colic 4oz Bottles
Can’t recommend this enough! This was a time saver for their while first year of life. Mixing the formula ahead of time was so helpful and made feeding time less stressful.
Dr. Brown's Baby Formula Pitcher 36oz Black
We kept one of these in the bedroom for night time feedings, storing premade bottles or my pump parts. We used it for at least the first year.
Antarctic Star 10L Mini Fridge Portable
Sleepy time
One of my twins preferred his hands up. Swaddles can only be used until baby starts rolling, so these aren’t used long but made a big difference with sleep.
Love To Dream Swaddle UP Gray Newborn 5-8.5 lbs
These were the favorite for most of our kids. I love how easy to use they were and no matter the size of the baby they worked well.
HALO Cotton Sleepsack Swaddle, Blue Safari
We have four of these and they are still used by our 6 year old. It is a white sound machine but you can also change the sounds for sleep training.
Hatch Rest+ 2nd Gen Baby & Kids Sound Machine
We loved this system. As we moved from 1-4 kids it was easy to add additional cameras and even choose to put a camera in the play room. The system is very easy to use, there are a variety of lenses. We easily mounted them to the wall and in the best ...
