A backpack style would be a good idea because I've been wearing number two a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-under-2tell-about-your-diaper-bag#post-1831448 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 14:32:36 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1831448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always had a fold up changing pad as well. I'm a bit conscious of where I change LO, and especially when we're outdoors somewhere, I don't want to lay him directly in the grass. The changing pad is a must for me with a few diapers, wipes, and a change of clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-under-2tell-about-your-diaper-bag#post-1831446 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 14:32:35 +0000 GrapeCrush 1831446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine are 15 months apart, and I was able to use the same diaper bag as when I only had 1. I just packed lots of diapers, wipes, change of clothes for both kids. Snack for the older one, bottles and formula for the younger one. Burp cloths, bibs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-under-2tell-about-your-diaper-bag#post-1831435 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 14:30:13 +0000 Mrsjets 1831435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kiddos are 27 and 5 months old. I've really downsized and use a medium one shoulder backpack. I carry about 4 diapers, travel size wipes, change pad, hand sanitizer, a receiving blanket, my nursing cover, sleeper or outfit for L, extra shirt for J, a book, a car of some sort, a straw cup of water and a sack (usually an orange or grapes and pretzels) for J and my clutch with my wallet/phone/key ect. I have room to spare in case I want to add more for longer outings but find it a great size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-under-2tell-about-your-diaper-bag#post-1831403 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 14:15:13 +0000 mkp17 1831403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO #2 is 8 week old and LO #1 is 17 months so very similar to yours in age. I decided I really overpacked for #1 and have gotten by with the same diaper bag with no problem this time around.<br /> If we are just running out quick, i actually just throw a couple of diapers/wipes, a onesie/romper and a+a blanket in my purse. If we are going to be out for a little longer I just add a snack/bottle and maybe a burp cloth.<br /> Like @beaker, I try to keep a bag in my truck with additional items and when winter comes will for sure add pjs, blanket, etc after the crazy weather we had last year in the South!</p> <p>This Perry Mackin Zoey bag is the one that I have been using and it is great!! </p> [attach=4131/14/naq2te.250x280.perry-mackin-zoey-olive-diaper-bag-29.gif] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-under-2tell-about-your-diaper-bag#post-1831323 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 13:43:08 +0000 tysonja 1831323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we had our second when our first was 16 months too! :)</p> <p>for the first few months we needed to pack an extra lunch bag for extra food, bottles, ice packs, but I just ended up packing less stuff in general. we used the same messenger style diaper bag. I think the big difference was that I stopped packing extra clothes for the most part, I never brought toys along anymore, and only one a+a blanket and no burp cloths. we just kinda got by with what we had! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-under-2tell-about-your-diaper-bag#post-1831296 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 13:25:20 +0000 LBee 1831296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping for more replies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-under-2tell-about-your-diaper-bag#post-1829304 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 16:34:19 +0000 meganmp 1829304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a messenger bag, and I pack 4 diapers, a thing of wipes, pouches, and a chance of clothes (one per kid). When they were small, I had my nursing cover, too. That's it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-under-2tell-about-your-diaper-bag#post-1829183 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 15:34:32 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1829183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@emg86: I got a basic jansport which I use sometimes, or just an oversized tote style. My two are 2y apart and the little one was in the hospital for so long he was 5m old before I was out and about with them. These days I just take add a couple of diapers and snacks for DS1 to DS2's stuff. In the beginning, to satisfy my overpacking tendencies, I'd keep a duffel in the car with extra/emergency stuff (extra changes of clothes, milk in a cooler in case we were out longer than expected, etc) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-under-2tell-about-your-diaper-bag#post-1786482 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 08:26:21 +0000 emg86 1786482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So baby #2 is arriving soon and my daughter will be 16ish months and I'm starting to think about packing a bag for two. I plan to use a backpack style bag (Ju Ju Be BFF or Be Right Back) so that I have both hands free &amp; can baby wear if I need to. What bags do you ladies like to use? Any packing tips? I think I over packed when my daughter was a newborn but hope to become much more minimal this time around. </p>
