Diaper Bag for twins

hoping&praying2013

What kind works best for you? I got a small one at my shower but feel like I will need a larger one. I like the way the petunia pickle ones look but thats alot for a bag that im not sure is any better then some cheaper ones.

I got this one as a gift before the boys were here. While I won't say the space is necessary just yet I *absolutely* see why I will want it in the future. They make a smaller one that isn't for multiples but DH really likes that the "Abundance" one is wider and he can wear it comfortably as a backpack (even if it is a pretty bag!). We both like it an it's incredibly well made, I love it so far and we're going on 4 months!

We spent the money and got this one as well in the black, red and white color. My husband likes it too. It is a lot for a bag... It was one of my splurges. But, I love that it is easy to clean and love all of the space.

I got a decent sized backpack and it has worked well. I like being able to wear it, one twin, and still have a hand free to carry the other.

I have a J J Cole bag. Looks kind of like a big satchel. it's not specifically for twins, but it carries everything i need. i like it a lot and it has the most awesome invention ever with the detatchable straps so you can attach it to the stroller handle. i thing it was around 50 or 60 bucks.

I had a JuJuBe Be Prepared https://shop.ju-ju-be.com/Be-Prepared-at-Ju-Ju-Be-PID10785-07MB01A.aspx that bag was behemoth! So friggin big that it was a pain to take
anywhere.

 I have a Petunia Pickle Bottom touring tote now https://www.petunia.com/bags/totes/touring-totes/touring-tote-in-flowering-firenze-glazed-fabric.

The Petunia Tote holds about 6 diapers, wipes, 2 big sippy cups (or bottles!), my wallet, cellphone, snacks for the girls, and any makeup that I might need. It's really pretty and nice for trips uptown. Not sure how well it would work for newborn age -1 year old... not a lot of room to pack extra clothes, bottles, formula, baby food, toys, etc...

When the girls were newborns I used https://jjcolecollections.com/mode-tote-bag. Definitely the best price out of all of them! There was lots of room for all that newborn stuff. This is still the diaper bag my husband prefers to use. It's a little beat up now, but still sees lots of use as a "beach diaper bag".

Thanks! And the jj cole ones are a great price!

I got this one, and I really like it. Sorry if the link doesn't work! It is the Skip Hop Duo double Deluxe, and you can buy it on Amazon for about $55. https://www.amazon.com/Skip-Hop-Double-Deluxe-Diaper/dp/B000YFRC84/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1374961689&sr=8-1&keywords=skip+hop+double+duo+diaper+bag

I live for my petunia. Try pottery barn kids, Nordstroms and sign up for their sale alerts on line for discounts and sale bags. I got a boxy backpack, reg size, for $100 at pottery barn kids. I use it for my twin girls, who are a month old and my 2 year old, who's still diapers. It holds enough for all. I'm on my fourth one (I'm also on kids 3 and 4) and will only use petunia bags. New kid, new poo = new diaper bag.

I've got the PPB Boxy Backpack as well, but just the regular size. I actually have two and I didn't pay full price for either one. Register on www.petuniaoutlet.com for their online outlet sales. Anywhere from 20-45% off the original prices.

I also have a PPB boxy backpack. I got the regular because the twin version wasn't available at the time. It holds everything I've needed it to. My kids are almost 3 and ive never used another diaper bag. I love it. If I were buying now if get the larger version of the same brand. I love how you can just fold down the changer, and that it's a sling or backpack. I got mine at Costco but I don't think they sell them anymore. There are sites that have sales though so it's worth the discounted price.

I got the Ju Ju Be Be Prepared. Originally I picked up the BFF but with cloth diapers I didn't feel it would be big enough. Although the Be Prepared is big I'd rather have a bit more room than not enough. And it fits well still under our side by side stroller. 

I seriously looked at the Petunia Pickle Bottoms but did not care for how they opened and the accessibility compared to the Ju Ju Be. I as well watched a ton of videos from users and what they put in them.

I found this you tube video pretty good for a comparison of petunia pickle bottom and ju ju be bags. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=J4zWIEkv60M

I ordered both the JuJuBe BFF and Be Prepared. The Be Prepared is HUGE and heavy, even with nothing in it. I think I'm sending it back for the BFF again. I'm so indecisive . We've been using my DH's backpack for our quick outings (doc appts and ice cream today).

I have a plain old Carter's bag.  I actually have two for those time when their father and I would travel.  We would each hold a baby on the plane and we would each have a diaper bag packed exactly the same.  That's the only time I've ever used both.  

Right now I use one as a diaper bag and one as a swim bag.  The diaper bag holds...

4 diapers each (they are in two different sizes)

Wipes

Small bottle of juice 

Small bottle of water

Box of banana cookies

Bag of graham cookies

An extra outfit each

Bibs in the outside pocket

Sippy cups attached by Sippy Pal holders.  These are actually clipped to the straps of the bag and the cups dangle.

Sometimes I put a lunchable in there too if we're going to be out for lunch.

If you can play Tetris...you can fit almost anything into the bag.  :-)
