    So for my twins first b-day I want to put a ball pit on our wish list. But I am clueless to which one to get for twins. I need enough room for them to play together, and I need it to fit in their playroom. Please help me thanks so much!

    I haven't heard of a particular one, just that they're a great gift to give/get. GL!

    i got this for my dudes, for Christmas http://www.onestepahead.com/catalog/produc...cmSource=Search
    its great because it is so easy to move/ take along... i recommend getting extra balls... and warning the balls can come out the "tent" door.. but my boys love it (and how i ended up w/ a pix of Nate w/ boobies...)

    it was a gift, so who knows if there are better ones... i do know every kid that comes over bee lines oit to it...

    We got the one that's shaped like a boat. I picked it because it was the biggest floor space. Really they like to climb in and out so much and are rarely in it together. One of the ones with a tunnel or at least entrances/exits would probably have been more fun for them. I just looked and the firetruck would have been perfect, but they didn't develop that fascination until just recently.

    I have this one and the babies love it! Also when bigger kids come over we can't keep them out of it. I would definitely get more balls. But don't order them online. They are cheaper at target and walmart. I found out about this ball pit from a quad mom and hers is still in great shape after 2 years of quads using and abusing it! :)

    How big is it? Does it take up A LOT of room?

    We bought an inflatable baby pool on summer clearance from Walmart to use as a ball pit. It is a frog so the back half is covered which helps contain some of the balls. I can't find the exact one, but it looks a lot like this And balls, balls, and more balls. Seriously I think we have 8 bags of 150 balls which I thought was insane overkill when my mom started dragging them in the house, but the boys LOVE them.

    Okay my super unscientific measurements (couldn't find the tape measure so I laid down and measured against myself) of the eezy peezy ball pit is about 4 1/2 feet by 4 1/2 feet. Hope that helps a little bit. :)
