If you're going after the best ice cream possible, stick with the Italians, who know ice cream better than anyone else. This solid machine is made in Italy and will freeze up to 1 1/2 quarts, with lots of churning power. Because the bowl isn't removable, clean up is a bit more challenging, but this is a popular machine with hard-core ice cream lovers.

Churns up 1 1/2 quarts of soft-serve ice cream in 20 minutes. Three separate chambers for mix-ins and a cone holder make this an ideal machine for parties. Kids will love helping themselves, but even adults can't resist the fun combining mix-ins and other treats.

If you'll be in and out of the car all day with your twins, you can't get any better than the Combi Twin Savvy LX. Weighing in at a mere nineteen pounds, it's easy on your back. Whether your twins are infants or toddlers, they'll love the open view from this side-by-side model. Plus, since both seats recline fully, babies are free to stretch out and take a nap whenever the mood strikes. Although the back canopy pockets are great for stowing gear, the undercarriage basket is a bit compact.

If I were a stroller designer, this is the model I'd dream up. Perfect for moms with twins, the Baby Trend Double Snap N' Go is a stroller frame that can accommodate most infant car seats. No need to wake your sleeping duo when you leave the car or house, just snap them into the stroller frame and you're off. Although you'll have to upgrade to another stroller once your twins outgrow their infant seats, the convenience and peace of mind it offers during the first few chaotic months with multiples is well worth the slim price.

Use it again and again on your journey, without need of boiling or recharging. It wraps to fit any size of reusable baby bottle (not for those with drop-in liners). Like most portable warmers, this will take a little bit longer than those you might use at home, so you'll want to get it started before the hunger strike when possible. No worries of overheating since it shuts off as soon as the warming cycle is complete. Use with bottles of breastmilk or formula.

You may laugh at the looks of it… until that late night when your partner makes his seventh trip down to the hotel parking lot to carry in your suitcases, diaper bag, portacrib, laptop or portable DVD player, ice chest, and other odds and ends for your one-night stay, while you tend to the baby. With a load capacity of 100 lbs., you'll marvel at the time and energy you can save checking into your room. The 10” rear wheels even roll across most camp sites with grace (pull the cart behind you over sand and very rugged terrain), and make it easy to tote the beach chairs, towels, ice chest, and sun umbrella down to the lake in one trip. The removable tote bag that attaches to the handle is perfect for catching all the odds and ends you'll need along the way, like water bottles, sippy cups, snacks, sun glasses, sun hats, sun block, toys, spare diapers, and wipes. Lower platform measures 21”L x 14.5”W. Folds to 35.75”L x 24”W X 42”H and weighs eleven pounds.
