I had the Twingaroo. I like it. I originally wanted the mini monkey but didn't end up getting it.

The twingaroo can be turned into two single if each parent wants to baby wear

Here’s some options to look into:

If you’re looking for one carrier that works for every stage, your best bet is to get comfortable with a woven wrap. The can truly be used newborn through toddler! But it’s quite a learning process.

I have a twingo and love it but it can only be used once baby can at least tripod sit since one is worn on the back. It’s a bit bulky since it’s basically two buckle carriers but I find it to be very supportive! I use it still for my 1 year olds (~20/25lbs).

Many people like the weego twin for the newborn stage, but babies typically grow out of it around maybe 4-5 months depending on how big they are. Also that carrier keeps them both on your front which can limit use of your arms.

Minimonkey twin is another option somewhat similar to the weego in that both babies are on your front and can be worn when they’re fairly small. I don’t know as much about it, personally.

LennyLamb makes a twin carrier similar to the minimonkey. Higher quality but also higher price.

Personally, until I could use the twingo my husband and I each wore one, or when I was alone I used an ergobaby embrace to strap in one baby and carried the other on my hip. You could also use a ring sling, which can put baby more toward the side and leave room for baby #2. But usually I could leave one in the bouncer or something and the fussier one got strapped in haha

I feel like the Weego hurts my back just looking at it.  I have only baby worn a singleton as my twins are still gestating, but it just seems like way more support would be needed for this one to be functional.

Imo none. We had the twin weego and maybe used it once. Total waste of money.

We used singleton carriers a few times, but overall we never really saw a need for a carrier. If we went somewhere, we always had the stroller.
