It's pretty small so I toss a muslin blanket over it. We always seem to have to change DD2 on the floor places and just a blanket seems too thin right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-use-a-regular-backpack-for-a-diaper-bag#post-2405434 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 08:47:50 +0000 MrsSRS 2405434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: :grin: I switch it between backpack and tote bag all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-use-a-regular-backpack-for-a-diaper-bag#post-2405417 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 08:36:25 +0000 looch 2405417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: Oh wow, you have just blown my mind. I am so getting that for a tote bag that I can't use becuase it's a bottomless pit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-use-a-regular-backpack-for-a-diaper-bag#post-2405359 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 07:15:25 +0000 MrsSRS 2405359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@misolee: it's cheap! I also don't bother with a changing pad. If I really need something under baby I toss down a burp cloth or A&amp;A blanket then just wash that when we get home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-use-a-regular-backpack-for-a-diaper-bag#post-2405286 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 00:46:43 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2405286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@misolee: I had a changing pad that came with my old diaper bag, so I use that. I also use those pet pads that I had for when LO was a newborn, and I used to use that on her crib for any leaks, or blowouts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-use-a-regular-backpack-for-a-diaper-bag#post-2405229 Wed, 30 Dec 2015 22:49:17 +0000 misolee 2405229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MRSSRS</p> <p>That's genius!

I had a regular one, but I just couldn't ever love the setup I had. I bought the Skip Hop brand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-use-a-regular-backpack-for-a-diaper-bag#post-2404879 Wed, 30 Dec 2015 18:39:37 +0000 MrsSRS 2404879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@misolee: like this! </p> [attach=6368/15/o07321.168x168.images.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-use-a-regular-backpack-for-a-diaper-bag#post-2404788 Wed, 30 Dec 2015 16:52:28 +0000 blackbird 2404788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Makeup bags within the backpack. I have a tactical north face, so it has lots of pockets </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-use-a-regular-backpack-for-a-diaper-bag#post-2404781 Wed, 30 Dec 2015 16:50:21 +0000 misolee 2404781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AB810 @SNOWJEWELZ I :heart: ziplocks</p> <p>@MRSSRS would you mind a pic? I'm a Trader Joes regular and I can't picture it.</p> <p>@FINFAN @PUMPKIN PIE another question. What do you guys use for a portable changing pad? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-use-a-regular-backpack-for-a-diaper-bag#post-2404680 Wed, 30 Dec 2015 15:11:13 +0000 Finfan 2404680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use a medium wet bag (for cloth diapers but we use disposables) for diapers/wipes/changing pad and another bag for bottles. DD2 is only 8 weeks old but this is what we did with her big sister. We have a change of clothes in another pocket with burp rags. There is a water bottle holder on the outside and I've been rolling up an A&amp;A muslin blanket to keep handy in that for emergencies.</p> <p>We use a North Face backpack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-use-a-regular-backpack-for-a-diaper-bag#post-2404635 Wed, 30 Dec 2015 14:34:16 +0000 BSB 2404635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a JJB BRB (backpack) and I use packing cubes to keep everything organized. I use a medium sized one for just diaper supllies. Super easy when I need to change a diaper. Plus, I can easily pull it out to see if I have enough diapers before I leave the house.</p> <p>I use the other sizes for a change of clothes and other odds and ends. </p> <p>I love these travelon packing cubes. If you have a marshalls nearby they are $9.99. If not, you can get them from Amazon. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ICD5OYY/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1451504126&#038;sr=1-1&#038;pi=SX200_QL40&#038;keywords=travelon+packing+cubes&#038;dpPl=1&#038;dpID=51KkSM3j1eL&#038;ref=plSrch" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ICD5OYY/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1451504126&#038;sr=1-1&#038;pi=SX200_QL40&#038;keywords=travelon+packing+cubes&#038;dpPl=1&#038;dpID=51KkSM3j1eL&#038;ref=plSrch</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-use-a-regular-backpack-for-a-diaper-bag#post-2404613 Wed, 30 Dec 2015 14:21:33 +0000 MrsSRS 2404613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a reusable bag from Trader Joe's that's made to carry six bottles of wine.

I actually think it is much easier than the diaper bag. It has 2 front pockets, 2 separate inside pockets towards the front, and 1 large inside pocket toward the back. It has the same compartments that my diaper bag had. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-use-a-regular-backpack-for-a-diaper-bag#post-2404492 Wed, 30 Dec 2015 13:02:55 +0000 snowjewelz 2404492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 2 regulgar back backs as diaper bags! One is a light weight nylon for summer (or DH), one is more fashion. I just use ziplocks too with the sliders. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-use-a-regular-backpack-for-a-diaper-bag#post-2404481 Wed, 30 Dec 2015 12:51:27 +0000 AB810 2404481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use zip locs. I have one for diapers, wipes, change of clothes for baby and change of clothes for toddler. I put snacks and my stuff in the front pouch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-use-a-regular-backpack-for-a-diaper-bag#post-2404230 Wed, 30 Dec 2015 10:33:24 +0000 misolee 2404230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How do you keep it organized? Do you use pouches or smaller bags?</p> <p>I wanted a backpack diaper bag for my second (whose coming soon!). I was eyeing a couple but then I was gifted a really stylish and expensive backpack that I think I can just use. I hate rummaging for things and that's the only drawback. So tips please?</p> <p>(FYI ... For my toddler, I don't really carry anything for her. Maybe a pack of raisins :silly: ) </p>
