Conjoined twins Abby<\/strong> and Brittany Hensel<\/strong><\/a> were seen out and about during an errand run this week, with a precious companion along for the ride.<\/p>\n

Abby and Brittany, 35, loaded a newborn secured in a car seat into a Tesla in Arden Hills, Minnesota, on Thursday, August 14, in photos obtained by TMZ<\/em><\/a>. The twins, who were dressed in casual attire, safely secured the baby in the back before closing the door.<\/p>\n

In the newly released photos, a folded-in stroller appeared to be placed in the trunk of the car. Their relationship to the child is unclear, the report noted.<\/p>\n

Brittany and Abby previously revealed how they get around town in a scene from their TLC show, Abby & Brittany<\/em>, in 2012.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have two licenses and when we got our driver\u2019s license we each had to take the test and we both passed,\u201d they shared at the time. \u201cWhen we drive, Abby is control of the gas and the brakes, and we both steer, and I\u2019m in charge of the blinker,\u201d Brittany added.<\/p>\n

The show documented their unique journey as dicephalus conjoined twins, having two heads but one torso. Although they share blood circulation, Abby and Brittany each have their own distinct upper body systems, and their brains and spinal cords \u201cfunction independently.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abby and Brittany were born in their native Minnesota in 1990, and their parents, Patty<\/strong> and Mike Hensel<\/strong>, decided against surgery to separate the twins due to the risks associated with the procedure.<\/p>\n

Episodes showed their close bond, day-to-day life, job hunt, travels to Europe and more. Fans also learned more about the Hensels on the 2006 documentary Joined for Life<\/em>, which aired on TLC.<\/p>\n

These days, Abby and Brittany are known to keep a low profile and work as fifth grade teachers.<\/p>\n
