Must-Haves for Twins

I am creating a registry for myself so I can keep track of what I need. I have 22 mo DD so I already have a bunch of her things I can use.

What are some must have items I need to add for twins?
Will I need another swing or is 1 enough?

I am a bit overwhelmed.

TIA

We used and plan on using again with the second set of twins:

two swings
two rock n plays
two boppy pillows
two highchairs
two excersaucers
one jumperoo
two walkers
two pack n plays
two bottle warmers


Not everyone uses all these things, but we did.

My twins are 3yr old boys. I only had one of most of the things like jumper, exasaucer etc & we just rotated. We NEVER warmed bottles they got room temp & was fine. My boys never liked swings.
Start off slow with one & see if they even like these things. Best Wishes!!

I am due in March with my twins, but I plan on reusing a lot of the stuff I used for my 2 singletons. My plan was to just have the one swing, one exersaucer, one bouncy seat, and rotate. With 4 kids I am not going to have the room in my house for double everything! We are getting a second rock n play though...because I am hoping to get them as close to on the same sleep schedule as possible and my boys loved napping in that thing until they were about 5 months old.

I found the Spacesaver high chairs to be better, and instead of a double snap n go, I loved my Joovy Roo.
I had one jumperoo and one excersaucer, and used the Spacesaver swing frames instead of 2 bulky swings.
I had 2 narrow infant bouncers, and it helped so much with tandem bottle feedings.

I found it easier to fill the bottles (16 at the ready) with the right amt of formula powder, and if we needed to, we heated the water in a Pyrex measuring cup, then pouring it in. I had registered for bottle Warmers but never opened them. I quickly realized that two screaming infants would rather drink tepid formula than wait for it to be warmed!

Definitely get 2 rock and plays. Those things are amazing! We also have two swings and we use those every day. We have two bouncy chairs and two play mats. The bouncy chairs are great to have since they are easy to move to different rooms of the house. The extra play mats aren't necessary, but it's nice to have one in a different room to give them a change of scenery. Our living room looks like a Babies R Us showroom.
