Believe it or not, it is possible to wear more than one child at a time!
Infant Twins
A stretchy wrap like the Moby or the Gypsy Mama Bali Baby Stretch is ideal
for simultaneous carrying of two infant, and is very comfortable for long
periods of time. You can even pop out one baby without seriously disturbing
the other!

two small infants at once. Babies, especially twins who just spent nine
months together in the womb, don't mind being cozy in a small space together
for the first few months.
Older Twins or Two Older Children
Once your twins are stretching out in the infant carries and are able
to hold their heads up on their own, you can start carrying them in two
ring slings or pouches, one on each hip. Some people find this easier to
do with ring slings, due to their adjustability.
At this age, you may also want to move to front/back carriers. A mei tai/buckle
carrier or a wrap makes a great combination with a pouch for carrying
one on the front (in the pouch) and one on your back (in the mei tai, wrap
or
buckle
carrier). While some people like to use two mei tais, this only works
well
with younger children who both want to be carried a lot as it may be difficult
to take only one child down without untying the other child.
Carrying an infant and an older child
The pouch and mei tai/wrap/buckle carrier works well for this combo, as
you can carry the infant in the pouch on your front and the older child on
your back.
