It's an OiOi Slouch Tote. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-carry-a-purse-or-just-a-diaper-bag#post-1759817 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 11:16:24 +0000 ValentineMommy 1759817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I carry the worlds largest diaper bag and throw my stuff, including a camera, in the bag. It's big and heavy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-carry-a-purse-or-just-a-diaper-bag#post-1759669 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 10:17:05 +0000 Foodnerd81 1759669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a bigger wristlet that holds my phone, keys, money/cards, and can hold a little extra (pack of mum-mums, sunglasses (without a case), tissues...) So I usually put that in the diaper bag, but I can take it out on it's own for quick trips or when I'm by myself. </p> <p>I've started using a non-diaper Le Sport Sac messenger bag lately and it's nice-- lighter weight, crosses over my body, but holds the essentials.</p> <p>ETA: I'm almost always out with the stroller or the carrier. We don't drive many places, so my emergency diapering stuff goes in the bottom of the stroller, not the car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-carry-a-purse-or-just-a-diaper-bag#post-1759646 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 10:09:37 +0000 Dandelion 1759646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Purse. I keep M's diaper bag in the car for most errands. If we're somewhere for a long period of time, I have my purse, and his bag (a backpack) is on the stroller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-carry-a-purse-or-just-a-diaper-bag#post-1759513 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 09:38:13 +0000 looch 1759513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Back in the day when I carried a diaper bag, I learned pretty quickly I needed a separate bag for my own stuff. I started using a small crossbody bag.</p> <p>I like the look of a small crossbody messenger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-carry-a-purse-or-just-a-diaper-bag#post-1759477 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 09:27:52 +0000 californiadreams 1759477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have a JuJuBe Be Quick that i use as my purse. It has my essentials so I can use it by itself, attach it to the stroller, put it in the diaper bag or my work bag. </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Ju-Ju-Be-Quick-Wristlet-Black-Silver/dp/B007A4MXUE" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Ju-Ju-Be-Quick-Wristlet-Black-Silver/dp/B007A4MXUE</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-carry-a-purse-or-just-a-diaper-bag#post-1759391 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 09:06:04 +0000 sweetooth 1759391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ginabean3: Oooh, I like the look of the Ikabag!</p> <p>@bunnylove08: I love Timbuktu! I also enjoy that you can make custom bags on their site. So fun...</p> <p>@ashleyt: That's exactly my worry sometimes. When I have my personal items in the diaper bag it feels unsafe. I usually have those things close by. I think I need to go with my gut and find a small crossbody bag for myself. My husband would wonder why the millions of bags that I already have don't work...and I'd have no good answer for him other than, I like buying new handbags :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-carry-a-purse-or-just-a-diaper-bag#post-1759390 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 09:05:54 +0000 Alivoo01 1759390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only carry the skip hop pronto changing pad. I put wipes, diapers, and an extra set of clothes in it. My phone and money go in the back pocket of my jeans, and my keys go in the front right pocket of my jeans.</p> <p>I haven't carried a purse in over 2 years! It's kind of nice. haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-carry-a-purse-or-just-a-diaper-bag#post-1759357 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 08:59:24 +0000 autumnlove 1759357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Purse and tote bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-carry-a-purse-or-just-a-diaper-bag#post-1759304 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 08:48:58 +0000 Ginabean3 1759304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I carry an Ikabag....I consider it a diaper bag/purse hybrid! I guess I could carry a regular purse now that LO is older but a sippy, snacks, diapers, wipes all take up a lot of space and my normal purses are too small! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-carry-a-purse-or-just-a-diaper-bag#post-1759300 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 08:48:17 +0000 Smurfette 1759300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I carry a diaper bag when out with R. I just throw my phone and wallet in it. I still need it cause we have to bring snacks, toys, diapers, wipes, bib, sippy cup, etc when we are going out to eat. </p> <p>If it is quick trip to the grocery store, I will throw a diaper and wipes in my handbag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-carry-a-purse-or-just-a-diaper-bag#post-1759294 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 08:47:13 +0000 LulaBee 1759294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I carry a large purse and when DD is with me I throw in a wet bag with cloth diapers and some wipes. And snacks. And a sippy cup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-carry-a-purse-or-just-a-diaper-bag#post-1759291 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 08:46:09 +0000 ashleyt 1759291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use a small crossbody bag for my wallet, phone, keys etc. I want to have my personal things close to me as the diaper bag is usually in the bottom of the stroller. Once I had my phone in the stroller organizer and someone tried to steal it at Trader Joe's - now it's always in my purse! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-carry-a-purse-or-just-a-diaper-bag#post-1759284 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 08:44:56 +0000 LuLu Mom 1759284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't use a diaper bag anymore, but I always carried a purse. Once she got a little older, I would just throw wipes/diaper in my purse and call it good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-carry-a-purse-or-just-a-diaper-bag#post-1759276 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 08:43:21 +0000 mrsjyw 1759276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I carry a purse! I ditched my diaper bag before DS was 1... I just throw in wipes, dipes, and a shirt/shorts in my purse and we're ready to go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-carry-a-purse-or-just-a-diaper-bag#post-1759274 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 08:43:12 +0000 bunnylove08 1759274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the 2nd option because we are a timbuk2 family. </p> <p>We use a tote bag for DD and I do carry a purse just because it is a pain to take things out and put them back. I usually stow my purse under the stroller when we go out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-carry-a-purse-or-just-a-diaper-bag#post-1759261 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 08:41:18 +0000 sweetooth 1759261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually just pop my wallet and phone in the diaper bag when we're out and about with our son. But when it's just me running errands, I like to use a purse. </p> <p>I'm finding that I need a hybrid option, something that can hold a few baby necessities, but still look attractive and not super big.</p> <p>Do any of your have a purse/handbag/shoulder bag that you love?</p> <p>I'm considering a few of these...</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/keen-emerson-bag-cross-hatch-black" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/keen-emerson-bag-cross-hatch-black</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/timbuk2-harriet-confetti-black" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/timbuk2-harriet-confetti-black</a> </p>
