Jenc - Congrats to you and how cool you have twin sisters and first hand stories. understand the nightmare logistics ... i had one of those moments early on in my PG when rang DH and in a panic said - 'how am going to cope if am at home by myself and need to get out or go to drs or something, how will I get the twins up and down the stairs (as live in apt block on second floor and no lifts). Needless to say after that we decided to try sell apt and buy a sml house. But prices here is syd have gone beserk and ended up being a big stress, we were about to sell and then ended up in hosp. So we'll have to wait until later in the year, too stressful. I guess you just find ways to cope.
Bella same thing re car seats. We decided to get capsules. We ended up buying them (well actually my granparents did for us) as i didnt like the hire ones as they are bit bulkier and heavier (OK for one child). Esp seeing our bubbas are going to be born in winter the thought of getting them in /out of the car in the cold esp if they are sleeping. This way can put them in and just pop them out and easier to carry them both to from car and up our stairs. i think capsules for twins is the way to go. You might even be able to pick them up second hand via ebay or AMBA (Aust Multiple Birth Assoc). I just recently joined and probably should have joined earlier. Be a good idea to do so if you havent.
