Expecting twins or know someone who is expecting twins?


Take a look at Babyhome’s award-winning so-ro twin cradle, the only mini-cradle on the market with a model for twins. A new concept in cradle with a revolutionary front to back rocking motion and the only mini-cradle on the market with a model for twins. Designed by an occupational therapist, the award-winning so-ro produces a rhythmic front to back rocking motion instead of the usual side-to-side motion which babies find more soothing. The twin so-ro allows for babies to sleep next to each other so that they can interact, or they can be separated when necessary through a separator.
