Upon joining the San Diego Parents of Twins Club, many members tell us how relieved they are to have found a community that “just gets it.” We feel the same way about finding Twingo, a brand designed to support the needs of parents of multiples. The thought put into the TwinGo Baby Carrier and Breastfeeding Pillow demonstrate that this is a company who “just gets it” when it comes to twins.
It’s no wonder then that TwinGo’s founder is a twin mother herself. When Krystal delivered her twins prematurely in early 2010, she recognized the challenges of caring for two small infants by herself. Krystal writes: “I had heard other parents of singletons say how babywearing made their lives easier, but the logistics of carrying two was perplexing to me. I felt completely outnumbered. Mommy guilt grew as I knew keeping my babies close was important—but who was I supposed to hold when both were crying?”
After turning to her local twins group for support, Krystal learned more about babywearing for two. She started off wearing two independent baby carriers at the same time, and immediately recognized the need for a product that could accommodate two babies at once without the bulkiness of overlapping waist belts and shoulder straps. Her solution, the TwinGo, is an amazing product for anyone with twins or two children close in age. The TwinGo features six versatile uses (including the ability to split into two independent carriers); and boasts extra-large storage pockets, adjustable waistband and shoulder straps, sleep hoods to support baby’s head and neck, and a sliding chest support system. The carriers can fold for convenient storage, are washable, and come in a variety of gender-neutral colors.
TwinGo’s newest product, the Breastfeeding Pillow, is versatile, comfortable, and economical. It provides back support, adjustable height stacking pillows, a buckle for a snug fit, and is easy to clean. Anyone who has attempted to bottle feed or breastfeed two babies at once understands the importance of products that make the task easier and increase confidence and success.
The San Diego Parents of Twins Club is grateful to have TwinGo as a featured sponsor for this year’s silent auction fundraiser.
