I’d also look for a backpack style around 20–25L with a wide opening and a light-colored lining so you can see everything quickly and one that stands up on its own. Use two color-coded pouches (one per baby) plus a third for shared items to keep grabs fast and the load balanced. If you’re bottle-feeding, make sure it has two tall insulated pockets, or plan a separate slim cooler that can clip to the stroller.

Good tips already. I’d also line the shelves with acid‑free paper or board so the wood or paint isn’t transferring acids to the bottom edges. If you don’t bag them a closed cabinet or simple slipcase cuts light and dust a lot, and swapping any nearby fluorescent bulbs for warm LEDs reduces UV and... give the top edges a gentle dusting with a soft brush every so often and keep them away from heaters or vents.

Edge cracking usually means a hard-shell polycarbonate or a too-tight fit putting stress at the port and button cutouts. Try not to pop the case on and off and clean out pocket grit weekly so it doesn’t act like a stress riser; when you replace it, look for a grippy TPU with rounded cutouts and a small lip. Since it’s only a month old, reach out to the seller for a replacement - many budget cases will swap them under a simple warranty.

Good call on hiding the tassels; that helps and though painter's tape didn't stick well on my wool rug and left a bit of residue. On that unit, mapping is decent but i still saw a few centimeters of drift between runs, so I had to make the no-go zone cover the entire rug with an extra buffer or it would still graze the corners. Also, watch the corner grippers—thicker ones made a tiny ramp the bot tried to climb, so placing very thin pads a little in from the edges kept the rug flat without tempting it.
