Baby carrier + diaper bag

Recommend your diaper bag to use while baby-wearing. I have an Ergo, and am looking at some backpack style diaper bags (or just regular backpacks!), since my current shoulder bag can sometimes feel cumbersome. I'd like something a little more gender neutral so my husband feels comfortable carrying it. Thanks!

    I am most comfortable with a backpack.

    Honestly, I bought the fanny pack for the Ergo and with the pockets it has plus that I never carried a diaper bag. I fit one dipe, wipes, wet bag, my wallet, phone and a couple other odds and ends perfectly. Things like toys, books, blankets I left in the car and only tossed what I needed into the Ergo or my purse.

    I bought a crossbody bag that can go on my hip, back, front, wherever. When the carrier was on my front, i could wear the bag on my back. Now that I carry LO on my back, the bag goes on my front. I put the bag on and then put on my carrier.

    We have the Fisher Price backpack and we got this specifically so DH wouldn't feel un-manly while carrying it. It has special buckles that can strap onto a stroller or shopping cart too. It has a ton of pockets and is not too big or too small. I frequently wear it while DS is in the BabyHawk.

    Here's the link:

    It comes in black now, but we have the brown. It's also pretty well built with very sturdy zippers. Not bad for $40.

    I have the Charlie bag from So Young Mother, very gender neutral - https://www.soyoung.ca/products/charlie-bags-2/

    It can be carried as a handbag/messenger style/backpack and also comes with stroller ties.  I use it as a backpack with the Ergo, a shoulder bag when carrying my bub, and sometimes attached to the stroller.

    Before that though I just used a regular backpack, both worked equally well with the Ergo.  :)

    This is the one I used until she was older and I could use a backpack style purse I had:

    *LOVE IT* I can use it hiking if I want, holds everything I need, can access from the front/bottom or the top - and I used this feature daily, lots of spare pockets (including a zippered and mesh side pocket for food/water).

    For an all day outing a regular old backpack works the best for me.  For shorter trips, I use the JuJuBe BFF.  If I had known how well a backpack works I probably wouldn't have gotten the BFF.  I do like something a little prettier for certain occasions though, so it's nice to have.
