Twins and Minimal Nursery Purchases
Hi Ladies, I am pregnant for the first time with twins. It's very early days, only 10 weeks, and I am very superstitious so don't want to buy any equipment until a lot later on ...
But having said that, we are on a very strict budget and would really appreciate some advice on the absolute essentials needed for a nursery, bearing in mind, as I said that we have twins.
I have heard how important a good pram is.
Also, from what I have read on BB most ladies suggest simply hiring a baby capsule until a rear-facing seat/booster seat is needed.
Other than that, all I was thinking about was two cots, with or without those small mattresses inside them (?), a change table, and a plastic bath.
What do I really, really need? All comments and help very much appreciated :D

I agree eBay will become your best friend, I get bulk lots of clothing and sometimes there are things with the tags still on them. A bath isn't necessary, use the sink or hop into the bath with them, they grow too fast so it's only of use for a month.
You want a pram that is easy to push, steer and get through shopping aisles easily. The capsules are about $70 for three months to hire, but good convertible seats can last a long time, just make sure that you can check they will fit in your car.
