[blparent] Two car seats

[Star Gazer]

Can you explain a bit more? Are you going to be caring for both kids? 
I'd get a double stroller and put both kids in it with the diaper bag
underneath. Where would you be taking both kids? 
You can leave the carseats in the car of whoever drove you, or have them
dropped off at the front desk of the library if you're doing story time.

It might work, but those car seats get heavy real fast.  Plus, you'll need
hands to open doors, navigate cars or buses, hold packages, etc.  I'm not
saying it can't be done, but to be completely honest, I'd plan your trips
very carefully if you have both babies.  Figure out exactly where you want
to go ahead of time and decide if it's worth the effort because believe me,
you'll be exhausted by the time you travel there and back, much less do the
errands or the story hour or whatever you went for, and you'll have a better
time at home.  Use paratransit if you can, or take someone with you.  Make
use of any assistance that's offered along the way.  The babies might be
hold enough for backpacks, so that's an option.  You'll have a diaper bag to
contend with as well.  I'm just seeing two car seats, a 
Taking a bus would be a pain and exhausting for you. 
I'd only do what you can do. Babies are happy so long as they're loved, get
outside a bit and have full tummies and dry butts. If you want to get out,
you'll figure out a way to make it happen. 
I wouldn't worry about "getting out for the babies". They'll have each other
to play with and when they start needing to get out they'll be walking. 
Really though, you'll figure out what you need and how to leverage those
resources. 
bag, a mobility tool, plus whatever other stuff you have for yourself as a
monumental pain in the butt and frankly, not worth the hassle unless you are
going to see someone on his or her deathbed, in which case you would
probably have transportation there.  Sorry, that's just my take on the
situation, but maybe there are braver travelers than I am.

Hi, I would try and carry one in the car seat on my arm and the other in a
carrier. That way, I would have a free hand for a dog or a cane. I'm not
sure if that is the answer you're looking for. Hope it helped.
