Hi all.

A friend of mine has recently had twins and was wondering if there are any slings available for twins. At present, she is wearing one twin in a hug-a-bug and carrying the other twin in the capsule or pushing in the pram.

Any suggestions.

As far as I know there are not slings specifically designed for twins... you can get a front carrier type thing from the Us where you can attach an extra carrier for twins but it doesn't look at all comfortable!

You can double sling twins but I never mastered that until the girls were sitting really well. Now I can sling them one on each hip in their own slings but I usually back carry one and carry the other in my arms for short trips.

If you goggle 'slings' and 'twins' you should find some web sites with photos and instructions for slinging twins.

Hope that helps
