I just use one I had (a Hershel). I have separate zip lock bags filled with things to organize (1 for baby clothes, 1 for big girl clothes, etc). </p> [attach=6460/15/nz9dgm.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-diaper-bag-question#post-2386493 Sat, 12 Dec 2015 13:41:19 +0000 Aandmklover 2386493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I liked to use a crossbody bag.

Or I'd slip it under the shoulder strap of the carrier. Boba has a purse "clip" like those lingerie clips inside dress straps that keep your bra strap in place. I prefer to wear on my back so backpacks are not my bag of choice </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-diaper-bag-question#post-2386382 Sat, 12 Dec 2015 10:24:18 +0000 mrsrain 2386382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for all the responses!

It's not a specific diaper bag backpack, I just use it as such. Fits everything I need! I also EBF so I don't need to carry bottles/formula. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-diaper-bag-question#post-2386371 Sat, 12 Dec 2015 10:00:19 +0000 Ms. RV 2386371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no personal experience, but I'm really intrigued by the Boba diaper bags that attach to the 3g and 4g carriers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-diaper-bag-question#post-2386367 Sat, 12 Dec 2015 09:44:37 +0000 MrsSRS 2386367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do a backpack for bigger adventures, or a cotton hobo style bag worn under my baby carrier. I just carry my regular mom purse with one hand/shoulder and have one hand free for my toddler most of the time. It all works fine. None of it is perfect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-diaper-bag-question#post-2386287 Sat, 12 Dec 2015 00:38:12 +0000 Greentea 2386287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any backpack will do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-diaper-bag-question#post-2386274 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 23:37:46 +0000 MamaCate 2386274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far (5 months in with LO2) I leav the diaper bag in the car, wear the baby, and put my phone in one jeans pocket and my id and credit card in the other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-diaper-bag-question#post-2386264 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 23:11:47 +0000 ChelseaRose 2386264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Backpack diaper bag.

I did some light baby wearing (Ktan and ring sling) with DD, but I'm thinking I'll do more with DS since I'll have a toddler in tow. I'm starting to wonder about the best diaper bag for this scenario, though! If my toddler is in the stroller it won't matter, but she has and independent streak and likes to walk. Suggestions? Advice? Anyone else been there? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lillebaby-vs-tula#post-2279866 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 22:22:39 +0000 Navy_Mommy 2279866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's possible DEFINITELY try on as many SSCs as you can get your hands on before purchasing your own. I tried SO MANY and was convinced I was just "a wrap girl" before I tried a lillebaby and all of a sudden I understood why people actually like them, haha. But each brand (tula, lillebaby, kinderpack, beco, ergo, then you get into smaller brands like Madame GooGoo, Lenny lamb, shiny star designs, fidella... the list goes on) fits differently and it just depends on your body and your preferences </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lillebaby-vs-tula#post-2273163 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 19:29:12 +0000 MrsTal 2273163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't compare but I second finding a babywearing group with a lending library and trying first. I had a beco gemini first which people love and I couldn't get a good fit. I lurve my tulas (all 5 of them, what can I say, I have an addiction). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lillebaby-vs-tula#post-2273121 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 18:38:22 +0000 californiadreams 2273121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i can't compare, but i am really happy with my tula </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lillebaby-vs-tula#post-2273118 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 18:35:59 +0000 MrsRcCar 2273118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tried a lilliebaby.

He is only six weeks old but I have worn him for errands and outings with my older daughter, and it just feels like he is so secure and I am comfortable. I also have the complete and like how versatile it looks for when he gets bigger!</p> <p>It seems like there is more than one great carrier out there for everyone so you are likely to be happy with whatever you decide. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lillebaby-vs-tula#post-2272882 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 14:07:48 +0000 jlm22 2272882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This probably isn't helpful as I only have a Lillebaby, but I LOVE it.

I live in the Atlanta suburbs so it's a big enough city I feel like there has to be one around somewhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lillebaby-vs-tula#post-2272590 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 10:44:52 +0000 ShootingStar 2272590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any experience with the Lillebaby, but I would try to find a Tula you could try out, even if it's just in store and see if you like it. If you do, I'd for that, purely based on resale alone. Once you're done with it you can probably sell it for what you paid if it's in good condition. Or if you don't like it, you can immediately sell it.</p> <p>I regret now that I bought a Beco Soleil instead of a Tula. I thought I would like the Beco more and it was ok until I wanted to back carry a 25 pound toddler. So now I never use it and I'll never get back even half what I paid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lillebaby-vs-tula#post-2272563 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 10:19:39 +0000 snowjewelz 2272563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's so hard to give advice b/c it's different for everyone! Would you be able to find a local babywearing group where you can try both on? I know in my local group, people def love Tula more. It really depends on your built, the baby, and what you find comfortable! </p>
