Why are twins often cast for young roles?

I've seen it many times. Very young identical twins cast for the same role. Off the top of my head: Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen in Full House.* Dylan Thomas Sprouse and Cole Mitchell Sprouse in Big Daddy and Friends. The Saunders triplets in Harry Potter & the Philosopher's Stone. Why is that? Is it to comply with child labor laws?
