Why join Multiples Taranaki?
Not only will you receive support and guidance from multiple parents, you will also receive the following benefits:
- Huggies supply and deliver a jumbo box of nappies for new members upon the birth of your babies, if you join before your babies are born. To order these on your behalf, we require confirmation of the name, weight and dates of birth of the babies, within 2 weeks from the date of their birth. Unfortunately, after the 2 week period has passed, we are unable to place any nappy orders.
- Playgroups for Multiples Taranaki members and their families. It's a great opportunity to get together and share ideas and discuss the many rewards and challenges of parenting multiples.
- We have a Support/Contact person system setup, where if you wish, a member of the club will make contact with you before and/or after babies are born. This is a great way to find out about the club, and ask any questions you may have about anything to do with multiples.
- Family Days- these are organised usually in weekends to enable partners to attend also. Past family days have included a trip to Stoney Oaks, Kindy Gym at the YMCA, Brooklands Zoo, Christmas Parties, Easter Egg Hunts etc.
- Car Seat Hire and Double Snap n Go Strollers are available through the club for hire for 9 months after the birth of the babies. The current rental rate is $50.00 per carseat, and $30.00 bond. There is no bond charged for the double Snap n Go wheels if you hire the seats through the club, and the rental cost is $50.00. The club are not authorised car seat installers, so Plunket car seat rental team are happy to demonstrate and assist with installation.
- The Multiples NZ website gives you access to discounts. Once you join you will receive a password to access these.
- There are also formula discounts - details of this are on the Multiples NZ Website, using the password that you receive once you are a member.
- We have a local closed Facebook Group that only paid members have access to - this is a great way to link with other local families of Multiples.
- When your multiples are born, if you also have another child who is under 5, you can apply for home help through Work & Income. See their website for more information.
- You may be eligible for Working for families tax credits - see the IRD website for more information.
- If you have triplets or more you will receive additional assistance - significant discounts on nappies and formula and there is a Triplets Multiples NZ group - please contact a committee member for more details.
- There are support groups for Twin Loss - for further details please contact a committee member.
