Did you have one (or 2) for your twins?
We borrowed one (baby bjorn) from a friend when we had our son Liam who is now 2. It was fantastic. I'm just wondering if one would come in handy with twins. I figure there would be some times when one could be carried around the house while the other is sleeping or one could be in the carrier while one is in the single pram. I'm not sure though. I don't want to spend money unneccessarily.

hi,

I use my baby bjorn all the time as i tend to carry one in it if he is fussy around the house or if i take one to the shops with me and just have to race in. I would definently get one though as you will use it - and yep i quite often take the single stroller and one baby in the baby bjorn - that way it is easier to manoeuvre around the shops. I picked my baby bjorn up on EB for $60 i think and it is almost brand new - so maybe if you want to get one and dont want to pay full price look here or on EBAY as you can get them for price prices. When are you due as my boys are getting really big and in a few more months will be too heavy to use my baby bjorn so i would be happy to sell mine to you for only $30 or so - but in 3 months or so? Let me know anyhow - as i know what it is like not wanting to spend money unnecessarily.

Hi

I have two baby bjorn carriers (they are great) and both get used- but not all that often. I certainly give 1 a work out, but the two are only used on the rare occassion that I have another pair of helping hands! I think- buy one to start with if you are unsure, then see how you go when the bubs arrive.

Hi,

We used a Baby Bjorn for our first child (who is now 2 years old) and she absolutely loved it ... and so did we. Much easier to go shopping in etc.
When we had twins, we went and got another Baby Bjorn. Sometimes when we go shopping, we'll each carry one twin. They are also great to use around the house when one is unsettled, or we are doing simple housework.
One night, things were becoming a little bit hectic at home and I found my husband carrying the twins in two carriers. I really don't know how he managed to clip all those buckles and babies in. I've uploaded a photo - quite funny).

Cheers, Tia

Lindy, I can't see the photo. Sounds like it would be a great shot though!

I think it will probably be a good idea too. I'll probably get one secondhand. Rachie, It'll probably be before 3 mths but I'll keep it in mind. $30 sounds like a good deal, thanks :-)
