Just so that I stop buying diaper bags, I am curious. How long did you/are you carrying yours?

I have a 9 month old and it seems I need a huge bag for food, bottles, formula, toys change of clothes! When he was younger, he didn't need food or toys. I know soon I will lose the bottles and formula.

Thoughts!?

I'm one of those people that like to be prepared, I never liked going out without snacks, drinks, antibacterial wipes, regular wipes, etc. I carried a diaper bag until my son was 3. I then minimized what I needed and stared to store some stuff in the car. Duration depends a lot on personality.

Thanks!! I like to be prepared to but lately find myself keeping my big bag in the car and then carrying just the necessities. Problem is then I run to the car and end up with 2-3 unorganized bags!!

Maybe you just need a different bag then. Something that is light and that you can keep some of everything in. I hate taking something out of my bag only to need it the next day. I also hate some of the options when we are out. It's easy to just buy a drink or snack but most of the stuff you can get is junk. My son is 5 and I have only begun to give him soda once a week as a treat.

^ I think you are right... I was hoping to get out of the diaper bag arena but I probably should still be there. My lil' man is still small!

Hayden has a little ELMO backpack full of toys,wipes, and a spare diaper for when we go out.I keep in the car so i ALWAYS have it handy!
I used the totally LV MM bag for everyday cuz u can put sippy cups in the side pockets..it was the ONLY bag that worked for me and i had MANY..LOL..Im pretty picky though!

Belladiva79 · Nov 4th, 2009, 08:36 PM

^^ which bag is the MM? LV has tons of style and I'm not too familiar with them but I'm in need of a diaper bag! TIA!

iamsmilin · Nov 4th, 2009, 10:42 PM

Bella, Totally is the style, MM is the size.

At the rate I'm going, I'm gonna have more diaper bags than regular bags!

The Storksak has worked really well for me. Plenty of room and great organization pockets!
