Do you always take a diaper bag?

ASmallWonder

I'm just curious on this one.  Do you take one with you every single time you leave the house or only if you'll be gone for a certain amount of time/over a feeding, etc?

I always do. You never know when an outfit will be suddenly ruined by an explosion of some sort.

I take it every time.  I figure, you just never really know what could happen.  What if the car breaks down or something and we're out longer then planned, KWIM?

I do just because I live so far away from everything.

I always bring  a diaper bag.

I have 2 diaper bags packed, one large and one small.  The small one just has 2 diapers, some wipes, and a nuk. That is what I bring if I am just doing a quick trip to Target or something.

I'm always gone longer than I planned so I always do.

To answer my own question...I don't take it with me food shopping or to Target.  Both are right down the road and even if he did need to be changed, I can be home in about 3 minutes.  Heck, I could walk if I had to  So if I wouldn't carry a diaper bag on a walk around our block, I won't take one to the grocery store that is equal distance.

I always do just in case.

I rarely carry a diaper bag. I keep a large ziploc with 2 diapers, a travel pack of wipes and a onesie in my purse along with my udder cover. I only bring the diaper bag if we're going to be gone all day.

Pretty much the only time I don't take it is when I take DD to preschool & we're coming straight back home. Though I RARELY need the bag at all, unless we're gone pretty much all day & need to feed him (I rarely even have to change him, my kids are odd, neither has ever pooped while out!)

The grocery store and Walmart are right across the street, I usually put her in a carrier and walk over.  So those times I don't bring the bag.  If I was going across town to the mall or to stop in and see coworkers I would.

Always! I bought a little wallet thing that holds my cell phone and my keys, and I just throw that into the diaper bag. Most of the time when I leave the house Riley ends up needing something! But she won't sit in a wet diaper for very long, so I'm changing her constantly

I don't even own a diaper bag anymore. I throw a few diapers, small case of wipes and an extra onsie in my purse and go.

I take it everywhere, however, if I am going into Wal Mart or Target and I am not going to be in there very long, I will leave it in the car.

Unless I only have my toddler with me, I always take my diaper bag. Poopsplosions, crazy spit-up, needing sunscreen or a toy to distract her or a clean paci -- it's just easier if I have those things on hand. 

Plus, my wallet and phone are almost always in there anyway.

If we get in the car then the diaper bag goes too.  The only times I haven't taken the diaper bag was if I was just making a quick trip to the grocery store to pick some up or dropping off a movie.  I do have a little plastic container in my car that has an extra outfit, diapers, and wipes incase I needed them.   Plus I'm the type that will say I'm just running to Target and then will end up at Kohls, Old Navy, and fifty million other places.
