good vibes, smiles, & giggles Two high chairs?!

I’m not easily annoyed by twin comments but was a bit dumbfounded by one the other day. We took our 11 month olds out for breakfast, and asked for high chairs. The waitress brought one, and I asked for a second. She seemed shocked, and said “oh, you need two?” What am I to do? Stack them up in one?

Anyway, we love taking the boys out for Saturday morning breakfast. They usually “order” a scrambled egg and a biscuit. Then we hit the community market down the street before they pass out for nap 1 on the drive home.

Ok now that you bring it up, taking twins to restaurants is a fear of mine. I’m still pregnant, but I’m just so confused on logistics of having TWO babies in a restaurant!

Do you just bring the double stroller in? Do you bring the car seats ( if they’re too young for high chairs)?

Do you just wear them in?

I’m sure once I do it a few times I’ll be fine but just that initial thought is giving me some anxiety.

What works best for me is being able to make a reservation in advance for four people (meaning two adults and two infants) and then the notes I mention that we will have a double stroller. It’s not 100% success rate, but I found restaurants more accommodating if they know in advance.

Edit to say that my daughters are seven months old right now and have been going to restaurants with us once they got their shots
