I have one
Getting a baby on your back isnt hard, it just takes practice.



By the looks of the second picture you would do the front first crossing teh straps accross your back then do the back putting the straps like a rucksack.

For those really short trips maybe one in a really light small buggy - those silly ones you get quite cheap? Prob would fit at the back of the boot and still fit your normal pram in whist one in your arms or sling but if its something silly from the car to toddler group/into doc I would seriously just consider a light buggy and arms. Slinging up etc would prob take longer (again if its just short walk distances).

Something light easy like:


??

Failing that I still think the skateboard would be easier than a sling too

my girls are walking now but when they were 7+ months we used to just have a small light stroller and carry one from the car to the house

At the moment, their car seats are carry car seats but when they move up to the next size of car seats they won't be carryable (if that's a word!). I'm guessing they'll be fixed into the car.

The problem is not so much at home because I park right by the front door and take them in and out one at a time, but when we get somewhere when I would normally just carry them in their car seats both at once (as in the milkmaid picture).

For example, at playgroup we go into a village hall but we park on the road a bit away from the door. I wouldn't feel happy leaving one in the car while I took one in as it's out of sight and just that bit too far for comfort. I need some way of carrying them both at once until they are able to walk.

Hope that makes a bit more sense.

i havent got twins, however my 2 boys are 13 months apart and the oldest was not walking when i had younger 1 and i found this a nightmare as i had a seat that stayed in the car! I still hate gettn em all out now as it takes ages get em all strapped in again (4 of em!) i would nt have liked the idea of the slings- prob take jus as long as the buggy- i would go with what wobbles said with the cheap stroller or hook em both on ur hip! i just got used to carrying em both really to go into the school and stuff, is hard work tho! good luck
