Top 3 Items for 2 Under 2

I never thought I would have 2 children under the age of 2 but here I am. Well, now my kids are 3 and 17 months, so very active toddlers at this point. I found with having littles so close in age, came with having to carry more stuff, not less.

Here are my top 3 items to have with 2 children under the age of 2:

1. Baby Carrier: There’s going to come to a point in time where you’ll have both of your littles at one time and one won’t be able to walk or want to walk. I found myself carrying my youngest and my older toddler would be holding my hand, walking alongside me. My personal favorite front-wearing carrier is by Happy Baby.

2. Double Stroller: There will also come a point and time when both toddlers will not want to walk. This is when your double stroller will come in clutch. I have a side-by-side double stroller which is great for outdoor adventures. However, for everyday errands, I recommend the stroller where one seat is “on top” of the other. I’ll link the one I have here and the one I wish I would have gotten here. My husband won the double stroller battle so that’s why we have a side-by-side.

3. Travel Caddy for the Car: With having two littles, like I said you have more stuff. The more stuff you have, the heavier your diaper bag is. And quite frankly, I do not want to carry around a bulky diaper bag. So I created a car crate with extra diapers, backup clothes, and snacks. I share more about what’s in my car crate here.

So there you have it! My top 3 items to have as a mom of two littles very young and close in age. I know they seem obvious but I know mamas who don’t babywear, who don’t have a double stroller, and who don’t have a car crate. I’m telling you these 3 things have been lifesavers.

What is your lifesaver as a mama of littles?

love & light,
