I'm due to have my second baby in a month! I never really had a diaper bag that I loved when I had my first born. Any diapers bags that you absolutely love? I will accept all price ranges, just want to know what's good out there :) thank you in advance!
I love Vera Bradley diaper bag! =) Enough room for everything and most importantly you can wash it!
Keep a complete backpack in car with everything I need. However, since I will be having another granddaughter, I will treat myself to the Vera Bradley diaper bag. They will only be 18 months apart so I could use something a bit bigger than my purse. I will be babysitting both!!
Buy a comfortable backpack. That way you have 2 hands for your children.
Go with a back pack. Much easier to chase one kiddo while holding the other one if you don't also have a diaper bag to fall off your shoulder. Congrats!
Once I had 2 kids I used a backpack (with water bottle holders on the sides). I found it so much easier than a diaper bag, because I didn't need to worry about it sliding off my shoulder. Now that the kids are older, it's really great to use a backpack because I have both hands free. Even when they're older, sometimes they need to hold my hand!
As a mother of four, and two of them are identical twins, I actually had three diaper bags going at one time that I used to just keep in strategic places. One in each car that I would keep stocked with all the essentials....diapers, wipes, extra clothing, powdered formula, bibs, an extra bottle, lotion, sunscreen, pacifier, and baby hat. I started doing this because shortly after I became a first time mom with my twin daughters, I was so into them and getting them ready to go somewhere that I left the damn diaper bag at home and that messed me up really good when I took them out that day! So, to prevent that little mishap from occurring again, I decided to keep the bags stocked and planted in the cars at all time. I also had one in our laundry room going out to the garage so that I could grab and go in a hurry. They key for me was to keep them all fully stocked when I got the opportunity to go through them. I would do mini-inventory and make sure I kept things I needed at a moments notice in there all the time. If I forgot, I could always grab the bag from the laundry room and just go. Some of the best bags I owned were made from Skip-Hop. I also had one given to me by my SIL that was a LeSportsac. All were very necessary for me and also pretty cool looking. My motto was always....Have diaper bag, will travel!
I never used them. I kept a backpack in the car with essentials, and only carried (in my purse) what I would need.
Skip n Hop is fantastic. Adjustable straps that you can wear as a cross over style, or over one shoulder, or that can clip onto the handlebar of the stroller. Not too expensive and worth every penny. Wish that I had gotten this earlier.
I used one of the SkipHop Dash bags for a while, as the bag could use a shoulder strap OR clip onto the stroller handles. I had one child. For two, I'd use a backpack-style bag. (Used these for families when I was a nanny.) I liked the model Eagle Creek used to make, but apparently they aren't producing those any more. In any case, consider one with a changing pad and I'd pick any color but black, as it is dark when you are looking into those larger pockets. Good luck!
31 Bags have several types that can be used. And you can pick the design and have it monogrammed. Then afterwards you can use it for something else like the pool. Congratulations and God Bless.
I use a Kipling bag. I can't say I absolutely love it, but it's lightweight, fits everything, and is pretty easy to clean.
