Diaper Bag for Toddler & Newborn
Posted by cassie on Tuesday, 3 June, 2008 @ 7:04 pm
Just when I was finally getting used to carrying a smaller diaper bag, I now have to go to a LARGER one. Figures, right? Amazingly enough it is like finding a needle in a haystack or so far it has been for me. I know it needs to be larger since I’ll have twice the amt of stuff including a change of clothes for the newborn and a shirt for myself, plus the additional diapers, etc. It also has to not be a cavernous bag that you would fall into and lose yourself. Notice the dilemma! Also, I’ve noticed in my search that a lot of bags have black interiors. I’m sure it’s to show less dirt but imagine hunting through that for your stuff with 2 kids in tow. Ick!
So in the name of organization I bought two sets of Sugar Booger Clean/Dirty bags to help with the clothing issue (especially since we are beginning potty training with our toddler) and I carry a small wristlet for my personal items such as DL, credit cards, etc. My cell I keep in my pocket and my keys go in an outside pocket on the bag.
What I’ll be carrying:
- 2 chic carry wristlets for diapers
- tons of snacks (toddler needs options)
- sippy (sometimes 2)
- my stuff - keys, cell & wristlet
- Sugar Booger Dirty & Clean Bags w/ changes of clothes
- spit up rag
- blanket
Any suggestions on what to get? I’d like it to be able to hang over the back of my stroller (P&T Sport) and not be too bulky even when stuffed to the gills. I’ve also thought about having 2 bags - one that stays in the car and the other for “every day” use. The only thing with that, is how do you decide what stays and what goes?
