I would like to also get a nice looking backpack. A lot of times I leave the diaper bag in the car (like when I'm grocery shopping) because it's easier to change her there. </p> <p>I also throw a few essentials in my purse sometimes instead of using a diaper bag. It's a cross body. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-bags-and-baby-wearing#post-1157513 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 21:02:27 +0000 aprk 1157513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Regular lands end backpack for front carries. If he's on my back my husband wears the backpack, or I leave it in the car and just keep my essentials in my pockets. I would like a messenger type bag for longer outings but I haven't found a good one yet that's the right size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-bags-and-baby-wearing#post-1157309 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 20:24:01 +0000 yin 1157309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just bought an Ergo book bag, which is made to use in conjunction with the Ergo. It was $35 at TJ Maxx and an impulse purchase. I haven't used it yet, but it's well padded and looks comfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-bags-and-baby-wearing#post-1156381 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 17:31:30 +0000 MamaMoose 1156381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>PPB boxy backpack. Baby on the front, bag on the back. Easy peasy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-bags-and-baby-wearing#post-1156360 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 17:27:26 +0000 deerylou 1156360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't. If I'm babywearing without DH, or someone who would be willing to carry the bag, my trips are short. If I'm using a SSC, I put a pacifier in the front pocket. My keys are on a hook that attaches to my belt loop, and my phone and card go in my back pocket. If I am using a wrap, I have a small, cross-body purse that holds the essentials. </p> <p>If my trip will be a long one, (i.e. multiple stores in the mall), I just use the stroller, and store a carrier in the bottom. I'm short and petite and would probably topple over if I attempted to BW and carry a dipe bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-bags-and-baby-wearing#post-1156350 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 17:25:37 +0000 Ms.Badger 1156350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I clip the skip hop pronto on the hip belt when we go for walks. It has diapers, wipes, extra onesie, a&amp;a blanket, cell, keys, and I throw a cc and ID if I might need it. Clip the paci onto me and we are good to go. If I'm going shopping or bringing the stroller I bring my big danzo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-bags-and-baby-wearing#post-1156304 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 17:11:21 +0000 Boheme 1156304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I just sling it over my shoulder. The only time I babywear AND need a diaper bag are church and the grocery store (so far!) so I usually don't have the diaper bag on long. My DH is especially efficient - he shoves a cloth diaper and a sample pack of wipes in the Ergo pocket and calls it good ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-bags-and-baby-wearing#post-1156194 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 16:32:22 +0000 heartonastring 1156194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't. I just wear a cross-body purse with the essentials in it under my SSC or RS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-bags-and-baby-wearing#post-1156159 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 16:24:36 +0000 Foodnerd81 1156159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I either just carry my wristlets with my essentials- keys, cell phone, if we are staying close, or I carry my regular skip hop studio shoulder bag. Kind if annoying but I like to have access to it and its easy to take off and put in my lap on public transportation or whatever. </p> <p>@grizz: do you put the strap across your chest? Under or over baby? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-bags-and-baby-wearing#post-1156136 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 16:19:27 +0000 Boheme 1156136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I steal DH's Diaper Dude messenger bag. So comfy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-bags-and-baby-wearing#post-1156129 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 16:18:25 +0000 immabeetoo 1156129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: PPB boxy backpack. I like it! Honestly I should've been frugal and bought a normal backpack, and its straps would e been more padded but... I didn't.</p> <p>ETA it is nice to have the messenger option too; for hip carries </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-bags-and-baby-wearing#post-1156111 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 16:11:23 +0000 LovelyPlum 1156111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you babywear frequently, what diaper bag do you carry while you do? Thanks! </p>
