anyone got experience of travelling easyjet with new born twins? in particlar taking 2 car seats and 1 double buggy - what is best to check in? does this add to our total weight load? thanks!

You need 2 adults. Think car seats and buggy will be ok for the hold, i wrap all items for the hold [if not in a travel bag] with multiple layers of cling film to protect against dirt/water(rain) and hopefully damage. You should be able to use the buggy till the boarding gate. Make sure it has a luggage tag. You may not see it until baggage reclaim so consider a sling and style of carry on luggage your taking.

Hi I have twins been on easyjet with them (not new born at the time though). You can take your buggy free and can leave it at the steps to the aircraft so handy in hte airport - but you don't get it back at the steps when you get off so like marvellousnonperfection says you will have to carry them to the luggage reclaim so a sling is a great idea. 2 car seats you will to take as luggage nad pay the luggage fee for I believe - but check as if you use them on the plane you may be able to avoid that - although getting to the plane with the buggy and car seats could be tricky unless the car seats clip into the buggy. have always foudn both staff and other passengers very accommodating to babies on easyjet and have flown with them several times and there has always been at least one other set of twins on board!

Never done it with twins, but with a 2yo and a baby and found that other passengers were very helpful. If no one offers, don't be afraid to ask.

Buggy does not add to weight, but you often don't get it back until baggage reclaim.

Are you thinking of travelling alone?

Yes, but mine were toddlers so it wasnt quite as difficult.

Please dont be frightened to ask other passengers for help, I'm pretty sure most people would be more than happy to. I know I would. They probably dont offer because they think that you would ask if you needed help.
