you'll have to take them out the carriers too at security and put the carrier through the security machine. what will happen is that each of you will hold a baby while going through the scanner and then you go through again without holding a baby. To give an example, I go through the scanner while my husband holds my son. Then i go back through to collect my son and carry him though so he is scanned along side me. Whether to take a buggy will depend on whether you think it's more faff to unstrap at security from a carrier than from a buggy, and then have to fold buggy up at the gate. Personally i find a carrier easier and when in the lounge i just find a quiet space, put a blanket down and let my son play on that. It's upon arrival that I find the buggy a faff but YMMV, particularly as the buggy may be on the carousel at the other end rather than at the gate!
