We just carry the diaper changing pad that stores diapers and wha not in it and a nursing cover. He's 4 months. It's kind of nice to travel light! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ditch-the-official-diaper-bag#post-1235846 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 10:41:44 +0000 Weagle 1235846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before 1 year. Now her stuff goes into a little North Face backpack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ditch-the-official-diaper-bag#post-1235838 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 10:40:18 +0000 lemondrop 1235838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Periwinkle: not really until ~18 months, but if he wanted his stuff that's where it went, so we worked on packing it and making it a routine before leaving the house (plus he didn't get good enough at walking until that point.) Plus it holds the sippy cup and snacks, which save my sanity! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ditch-the-official-diaper-bag#post-1235823 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 10:36:24 +0000 looch 1235823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much right away. Somehow, I never carried enough stuff for a full on diaper bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ditch-the-official-diaper-bag#post-1235820 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 10:35:37 +0000 Periwinkle 1235820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: What a great idea! Does he like this? That is brilliant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ditch-the-official-diaper-bag#post-1235794 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 10:28:10 +0000 lemondrop 1235794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>9ish months. I hated carrying the diaper bag. I just keep a diaper and pack of wipes in my purse, and a few extra things in the car. </p> <p>For his 1st birthday my SIL got him a small PBK backpack that he can wear and carry his own stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ditch-the-official-diaper-bag#post-1235777 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 10:22:01 +0000 LuLu Mom 1235777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At almost 14 months, I switched from my first large diaper bag to a smaller 31 bag that I sent to daycare (extra clothes, diapers, ect.) </p> <p>On weekend if we are shopping I usually just throw in diapers and wipes into my purse if it's a quick trip. But if we are going to be out for awhile I still bring the smaller bag becasue it was books, sippy cup, ect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ditch-the-official-diaper-bag#post-1235764 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 10:18:54 +0000 Periwinkle 1235764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 12 months old and is in daycare during the day while I work. On the weekends when we go out, I still use a true diaper bag (backpack style) but am wondering if I can start to make do with my purse and the Pronto changer for now. I am getting a bit tired of always switching bags on the weekends but am nervous that I will be venturing out into the world without a change of clothes, some toys, etc. Maybe I will keep the diaper bag in the car but just carry a few things with me in my purse?</p> <p>Also, we baby wear a lot so it's hard to hold the diaper bag, especially the backpack.</p> <p>When (if you did) did you ditch the diaper bag? </p>
