diaper bag question for mothers of a toddler and baby

GenaAndJosh · October 2011

What do you use? I need to get a new one, as mine is not quite big enough for when I am with both of them. I lean more towards the backpack style as it is better for my back. I was looking at the JuJuBe BFF and Petunia Boxy Backpack. Thoughts any other suggestions?

TIA!

I know you didn't "call" me (only have 2 infants), but thought I'd share. : )

If you neeed a large bag, the Skip Hop Duo Double is it. It is very large. I've actually stopped using it bc I don't need so much anymore, unless I'm out all day and need the extra room. For now, a I'm using my Coach diaper bag (standard size) and bring all their food needs (snacks, baby food, bottles, etc) in a lunchbox which I toss in the bottom of my stroller. So my diaper bag only holds diapers, wipes, and change of clothes.

thank you for your input, Jackie! I carry so much crap (still), that it seems that the standard bag is busting at the seems!

This. While I don't have both my god-daughters mom has both and that's the bag she had. She always carries an insane amount of stuff everywhere she goes and loves that bag

I have a large Vera Bradley diaper bag that seems to be working out ok for us so far. Also, have you checked out the Petunia Abundance Boxy Backpack? It's a little bigger than the standard, so that might work.

I have the Jujube Be All and while I love the size, the flip over mommy pocket is a pain. I'm really thinking about getting a BFF because it has all the great features of the Be All (which I love) but no flip over lid which I hate! Jujube is amazing BTW, such great quality. I've been using it daily for 3 years now and it hasn't lost a stitch. Everything looks and works like the first day I got it. And it says not to machine wash but I throw mine in the washing machine and hang to dry about once a month and it does fantastic.

We used the skip hop duo double, too! It was GREAT for a toddler and baby... it still is! And it clips to our double stroller, which i love

That is the one thing I LOVE about it... the way it snaps to stroller keeping it high, right at the handle bar level. I'll be taking it to Disney and stuffing it away with the day's necessities.

I don't have both but my sister has a newborn and a toddler and she carries an ton. She has a Skip Hop Bento. She doesn't use a double stroller just a single, so the Duo Double didn't work for her. Hope you find a bag that work!

I swear by my Petunia Picklebottom Boxy. I had the JuJube and I liked it...but Petunia was my answer

Just ordered the PPB, found a good deal through Amazon Mom. I should also mention that I am a diaper bag whore, so this will be one of many...unfortunately, I needed a new backpack one as it keeps me better balanced!
