DD is potty trained and I don't need much when we go out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-diaper-bag-1#post-1124022 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 14:37:13 +0000 lamariniere 1124022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never had a real diaper bag. I just used a backpack or tote, and continued using my handbag that I like. I couldn't completely get rid of the "diaper" bag until DS was potty trained. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-diaper-bag-1#post-1123877 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 13:49:41 +0000 Running Elley 1123877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If baby #2 wasn't coming soon I'd probably ditch the diaper bag completely for just a nice bag that I like. I was ready a few months ago actually but I know I'll need the extra space again with the new baby so I just haven't switched. If I were you I'd totally go with just a nice bag :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-diaper-bag-1#post-1123831 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 13:38:17 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 1123831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only use mine when we are going somewhere for a long time, like the zoo. I think I'll actually use it even more for feeding/change of clothes as he gets a bit older, but right now I probably use it once a week. (Not sure if that was an answer!) I also carry a large tote which is what I put things in when not using the bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-diaper-bag-1#post-1123753 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 13:08:56 +0000 banana 1123753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't really need a "diaper bag" after 10 months. I just used a tote bag. It's a lot easier once they start consistently eating adult foods and drinking out of sippy/straw cups. I just put a few diapers, wipes, change of clothes, snacks, and few other little knick-knacks in a tote bag and we're good to go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-diaper-bag-1#post-1123729 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 12:55:35 +0000 birdofafeather 1123729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: no bottles but we use a wet bag for the diapers so I'm not worried about them leaking on the bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-diaper-bag-1#post-1123697 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 12:42:55 +0000 shopaholic 1123697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm... if you weren't CD'ing, I'd say you could probably use a big purse/tote. But IDK with the CD's how bulky and heavy they might be? And what if they leaked in the bag? Do you take bottles too? I just remember someone saying once how a bottle of milk leaked in their purse and couldn't wash it out... Maybe a cheap purse you wouldn't care if it got thrashed? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-diaper-bag-1#post-1123666 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 12:34:14 +0000 birdofafeather 1123666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Was looking at new diaper bags because my bag is pretty summery, but then I wondered if I should just get a new bag that I like regardless of being a "diaper" bag since R is almost 9 months. Will I regret having a baby specific bag soon or is it worth it to get another diaper bag. </p> <p>If it matters, we CD so I can't do one of those diaper clutch things. </p>
