Recommend your diaper bag

sbg · October 2012

I would like to find a big diaper bag that can accommodate enough stuff for twins. Any recommendations??

Thanks

I have no advice to offer but I can't wait to read some of the responses.

I was shopping yesterday and another pregnant lady told me i'd need a "suitcase" when she found out I was carrying twins!!

They make a twin diaper bag I have it! The skip hop duo. It's roomy! I also splurged on a smaller stylish one for quick outings Angelina Jolie carries it a stock craft.

I haven't used it yet but I bought the Vera Bradley Weekender bag. I have the regular VB baby bag for DD1 and love it so I just went for a bigger model for the twins, lol.

I just bought the Skip Hop Double Duo and it's huge!

My girls arent here yet but I bought the JuJu Be Prepared. It is pretty big and I like the materiel on it and the way the zippers work.

I just bought a Petunia Picklebottom Abundance Boxy Backpack...it's huge. I bought it site unseen, though several of my friends have the regular Boxy Backpack which I love. I was a little surprised by the size of the Abundance and almost sent it back, but the more I think about it, the more I believe I'll truly NEED a diaper bag that size. DS is almost 2 now so I carry next to nothing for him when we're out, but when he was younger, my standard size diaper bag filled up quickly. I think between the twins and my DS, the ABB will be great for my needs...and I like the option of carrying it on my shoulder or wearing it on my back!

I use a Weekender, love it. Very roomy, nice pockets and they just redesigned it so it's probably even more useful. I have a Thirsties fleece changing pad that I throw in it for changes on the go.

I have always wanted a boxy backpack and now I'm torn as to whether or not I want the regular or the abundance.

I have the Skip Hop Studio. It's plenty big and I think it looks stylish (warning, though, I am not trendy). I really am glad I splurged and got it.

Skip hop duo double deluxe

turtle_1278 · October 2012

I have 3 (I know excessive) diaper bags. My go to if we are going out all day or for any extended period of time is the Skip Hop Duo Double. It's really the only one I can fit everything in. I also have a Vera Bradley (which I love and use for quick errands) and my hubby bought me the Coach one but that's more like a large purse so I won't use it much until they are older!

You may want to just look at the Abundance in person before buying it so you know how big it truly is. I've actually never seen the Skip Hop Duo Deluxe in person either, but that and the ABB are probably comparable in size. I'm not an ultra stylish person by any means, but I told DH I just wanted to splurge on something cute so that even when I'm feeling like a frumpy mom of 3, I can at least feel nice about my bag, ha! PPB has super cute prints which pretty much sold me

We got the Skip Hop Double Duo. It's massive. I'm pleased with it so far.

Ditto.

I started with a Stork Sak hobo I got at once upon a child, it was too small. I had never carried much with DD so I thought I would be ok. Then I got a Skip Hop but switched to a Dad Gear backpack. I liked the skip hop but my boys need a change of clothes and I was loosing stuff in the bottom of the skip hop. The pockets were great but I needed more ways to organize. I esp like the Dad Gear diaper pocket so they don't get smushed and I can carry more then 6 at a time. I never thought I'd need more then six at a time but boy have I.

I have a Vera Bradley diaper bag. I can fit basically everything I need in it. I also have a second bag that I keep in my car with extra essentials so if I do run out of something, it's in my car. My car bag has diapers, wipes, changes of clothing, food, extra bottles or sippy cups, juice bottles, etc. Basically, everything I have in my diaper bag, but extras.

My twins aren't here yet, but I had some definite opinions about diaper bags after just one child. I was choosing between 3 bags.

the Skip hop double duo deluxe which a ton of people like, and I get it because it is so big and seems so functional. I liked the fun print below. However, I have a single skip hop with DS, and really dislike how vertical it is- I have to dig a lot to find things in it. It seems like it would be worse with the duo because it is even bigger, and still vertical in storage- some reviews say that it falls/leans over too, which is something I didn't want. I knew I wanted more of a structured bag. The zippers also havent held up well on my original skip hop.

The Bumble Jennifer weekender, in grey on grey instead of black and white. I thought it was cute and big. I like the boxy nature so that I could find things, but it also doesnt seem to have feet and it seems like it will be harder to clean. It also seemed kind of like a big cavern inside without enough pockets.

SO I decided on the Okiedog shuttle bliss travel bag- pretty big, but also structured so it holds its shape, wont fall over, and I will be able to find/see things easier. I like the feet on the bottom of the bag and it is stylish but also not a problem for DH to carry sometimes. I thought the roundness on top might be a problem, but it seems plenty big inside in person and I really think it will work well for 3 under 18 months!

So it is a lot about what you are looking for- good luck shopping!
