Even though we're well out of diapers, I usually need to bring wipes to clean hands, an extra pair of socks (pants sometimes, if there's mud around), a snack, water bottle, etc.</p> <p>It is kind of like this:</p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MERU-Sling-Backpack-Crossbody-Advanced/dp/B01EZZUSHU/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1477916995&#038;sr=8-5&#038;keywords=ergonomic+backpack" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/MERU-Sling-Backpack-Crossbody-Advanced/dp/B01EZZUSHU/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1477916995&#038;sr=8-5&#038;keywords=ergonomic+backpack</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-carry-when-you-dont-need-the-whole-diaper-bag#post-2645219 Sun, 30 Oct 2016 19:50:18 +0000 nana87 2645219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a skip hop portable diaper tote thing that I use sometimes. We rarely drive and mostly use a stroller so then I just tote along the diaper bag. If I'm taking her somewhere straight from work/daycare pickup, I throw an extra diaper and some wipes in my work bag </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-carry-when-you-dont-need-the-whole-diaper-bag#post-2645217 Sun, 30 Oct 2016 19:45:23 +0000 Littlebit7 2645217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My stroller is my car 98% of the time so now that LO is older and I don't need as much I just hang the smallest size baggu bag off the stroller hook. Diaper, wipes, snacks, wallet, water, extra leggings for her. The nanny is really the only one who uses the diaper bag when she goes out.<br /> If I do take the car, sometimes I will throw that baggu into my purse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-carry-when-you-dont-need-the-whole-diaper-bag#post-2645143 Sun, 30 Oct 2016 14:57:40 +0000 PawPrints 2645143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I find it so easy to clip the entire diaper bag onto the stroller handle that I pretty much always default to doing that. Yesterday we did a farm/pumpkin patch outing though and it was too muddy for a stroller so I just shoved some cloth wipes (for her nose) and some of her portable snacks into my regular purse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-carry-when-you-dont-need-the-whole-diaper-bag#post-2645092 Sun, 30 Oct 2016 10:27:03 +0000 Pumuckl 2645092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tlcbaby: it is a really good tactic, I would have been without a diaper changing set sooo many times if I didn't just keep them everywhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-carry-when-you-dont-need-the-whole-diaper-bag#post-2645089 Sun, 30 Oct 2016 10:12:07 +0000 tlcbaby 2645089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumuckl: I need to do this.

I also keep one ziplock in the car and one in the strollerbasket. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-carry-when-you-dont-need-the-whole-diaper-bag#post-2645077 Sun, 30 Oct 2016 09:21:44 +0000 MrsKoala 2645077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been throwing diapers, wipes, etc in my regular purse for now.

I have 2 diapers, small thing of wipes, a plain onesie, a paci, and a doggie poop bag instead of a real wet bag. it's so light! I fold the pouch over on itself and it can be stuffed into any of my tote bags or bigger purses.<br /> <a href="https://baggu.com/collections/carry-all-pouches/products/large-carry-all-pouch-sailor-stripe?variant=13869351943" rel="nofollow">https://baggu.com/collections/carry-all-pouches/products/large-carry-all-pouch-sailor-stripe?variant=13869351943</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-carry-when-you-dont-need-the-whole-diaper-bag#post-2645052 Sun, 30 Oct 2016 05:34:49 +0000 tlcbaby 2645052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: @LindsayLou: That is a good idea--keeping stuff ready to go in the car, too!</p> <p>@DesertDreams88: Ive been going back and forth between using a diaaper bag and throwing a small purse inside and just using a bigger purse that I can throw diapers in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-carry-when-you-dont-need-the-whole-diaper-bag#post-2645048 Sun, 30 Oct 2016 02:45:31 +0000 LindsayLou 2645048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually don't use a diaper bag. I have a couple of regular purses I've had for years that I switch between every few months. One is a cross body bag. The other is a hobo style. I keep a small zippered bag tucked in my purse with diapering essentials. Then I also have another diaper essential kit ready to go in my car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-carry-when-you-dont-need-the-whole-diaper-bag#post-2645030 Sat, 29 Oct 2016 22:06:56 +0000 Foodnerd81 2645030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use a le sport sac messenger bag. I keep a change of clothes in the car for the potty trained 3 year, and have a gallon size ziplock with a changing pad, wipes, a couple diapers, and spare pajamas for the baby. That way I can just move that whole ziploc between bags as needed. It's fine but. It perfect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-carry-when-you-dont-need-the-whole-diaper-bag#post-2645029 Sat, 29 Oct 2016 22:04:59 +0000 DesertDreams88 2645029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just have a decent-sized purse from Target that has three compartments. I use the main one for my stuff, one compartment for a diaper clutch, and one compartment for a onesie &amp; baby stuff (newborn days=receiving blanket &amp; pacifier, now=snacks &amp; bib, etc) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-carry-when-you-dont-need-the-whole-diaper-bag#post-2645027 Sat, 29 Oct 2016 21:53:40 +0000 cascademom 2645027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I carry a Ju Ju Be Light for smaller trips. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-carry-when-you-dont-need-the-whole-diaper-bag#post-2644950 Sat, 29 Oct 2016 14:39:57 +0000 brownepiano 2644950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have wet/dry bags for cloth diapers so I just shove one of those with everything for a diaper change in my purse (which is a cross body bag with extra space). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-carry-when-you-dont-need-the-whole-diaper-bag#post-2644949 Sat, 29 Oct 2016 14:33:58 +0000 youboots 2644949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I carry a toddler size backpack inside of my backpack with a few diapers wipes a snack and a toy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-carry-when-you-dont-need-the-whole-diaper-bag#post-2644948 Sat, 29 Oct 2016 14:25:32 +0000 tlcbaby 2644948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Diaper Dude crossbody diaper bag and I like it, but it's hard to carry when I have both kids with me at the park or the zoo. I like it more for long trips in the car, etc. I was thinking of some kind of backpack/purse that I could throw my stuff and a few baby essentials into, but I can't find exactly what I am looking for.</p> <p>Do you have a smaller bag or purse you carry when you don't want your whole diaper bag? </p>
