Calling all parents of twins that are in elementary,
middle or high schools -- we are looking for volunteers
to sit on a panel for fellow POM members and help
address questions about searching for an elementary
school for multiples in San Francisco. The audience
will primarily be parents who have children in
preschool or younger. The objective of this evening is
to help fellow POM members begin to navigate the
process of searching for and applying to kindergarten.
(Remember when you were in their shoes...?)We are
looking for a cross section of families who have
children in any combination of parochial, private or
public elementary, middle or high schools. The
volunteer commitment is only for 2 hours for one night
(Tues, Sept 10th from 6:00-8:00 PM). If you are
interested in helping other parents of multiples with
their kindergarten search, please contact Virginia
Watts at seabringwatts@gmail.com. Thank you.

Are you traveling alone with the twins? I haven't
traveled alone with our 10 month old twins but we just
got back from Chicago and it was pretty easy given we
curb checked everything (5 pieces total) except the
umbrella double stroller and diaper bag. We gate
checked the double umbrella stroller, and my husband
and I each "wore" a baby when necessary during the
flight in our baby bjorns. Unfortunately, I don't have
any advice if you're traveling alone with the twins,
but I wish you good luck!

Hi Janine,Yes, you should curb check your car seats to
help make getting through the airport easier on you.
The FAA has approved CARES harnesses but does not
require them, so it is your choice if you want to use
them vs. the standard seat belts in the seats. I used
them for my twins until they were 4, and I felt that
they did give better restraint to them than the
standard airplane seat belts. It does take a little
time to put them on the seats, so try to get on the
plane early.I would advise not traveling with the BOB
Duallie as it is such a big and heavy stroller, and
travel with an umbrella stroller instead. If you
really need the BOB at your end destination, then just
gate check it.I would definitely wear one of the babies
on your body, even if they can walk, so that it makes
it easier to get on the plane with one baby walking or
on your other hip.I think the club has CARES harnesses
to borrow and you can check the email aliases in the
latest newsletter to see which "closet" lends them.Good
luck on your travels,Virginia
