 My wife and I are driving down to LA this weekend with
 our 8 month old twins. Does anybody have any tips or
 suggestions on making the drive better. We are planning
 on leaving early and making at least two stops along
 the way to change, feed and let the twins stretch out
 on a picnic blanket. Anybody know of any parks close to
 I5 that would be easy to pull over to without adding
 too many extra miles to our trip. I searched old posts
 and found a post about Keck Park in Coalinga that might
 work for us. Any other suggestions for stops, would
 prefer parks as our twins are starting to crawl now so
 I would like to get them out of their seats for a
 while. Any other tips on making the trip easier and fun
 for the twins? Does leaving early make sense, or should
 we plan on leaving late and letting the twins sleep
 (dont know if they'll cooperate) most of the way?
 Thanks, Rick.

 We just moved to SF from New York. Cindy was recommend
 to us by a close friend of ours. She is a gem! She is
 very nurturing, sweet and kind."We were so stress
 out".... She had our boys on a schedule, and we were
 totally much calmer by the time she left us.Julie

 Congratulations Jill!I had wondered the same thing
 while I was pregnant with the boys and we opted to buy
 a double Snap & Go while pregnant with the intention of
 buying another double stroller. The reality: I worried
 about how to take all 3 kids out when I'm by myself. 
 It is a RARE occasion when I did that and was able to
 do it when the twins were newborns. You will need
 another person to help you with 3 kids and it's not
 neccessary to have all 3 on a stroller. The easiest way
 to tote the 3 (we ended up buying a Bumbleride for the
 double) was to put the eldest and one of the twins in
 your double stroller and "wear" one of the other twins
 (we used an Ergo with an insert). Double strollers end
 up being pretty heavy so we also did it where we used a
 single McClaren for my older and either a double Snap &
 Go for the 2nd person or another single stroller w/
 carseat attachment (we already had a Peg Perego to do
 this)
