Which Nappy Bag for Toddler and Newborn?

[Tinsel]

My current nappy bag can't take all the items we need for my 20 month old and newborn so am wondering what has worked for you?

I have a black nappy bag that I brought from Target for $25-$30 & I manage to cart around all I need for my 2.5yr old & my 11wk old

Hey Lovely..I have 2 bags. A older style huge bag for big trips out. It has lots of compartments, so I can fit nappy stuff in one section, kids change of clothes in an other, my gear goes in the front. We take a seperate cooler food bag. The other bag is a small 2 compartment bag that fits essentials only, I use this for short outings.

I also have a bag in the boot of my car with spare nappies and clothes for all girls

I have always a backpack style bag but I don't think it will fit everything I need.

I have a backpack one which I can fit the essentials of my 2 year old and 8 week old in. I can shove my stuff in too. I don't have room for food or drink for me. Tofit everything I want to have wth me I think I's need a suitcase. I love the idea of keeping a stash in the car. Going to have o look into this, Thanks for the tip.

Oh yes, keeping a stash in the car is essential. I have one. It is great!!!

Good tips on the bags, I have been thinking about this too!

I have one for each - it really helps when DD goes to my mum's while I take DS out to the Dr's (or vice versa)...It means I don't have to make up another bag for one when the ocassion arises. On the pusher I have two hooks - one on each side where both bags hang for stability.

DS has a blue Quiksilver backpack and DD has a pink Billabong backpack...that way not even DF can mess it up .

I forgot to come back in and say thank you to everyone for their suggestions. I like the bag in the boot idea and will be doing that for sure to save some space in our take-away bag.

I ended up getting a Crumpler bag (I was using a big messenger crumpler before). The one I got is a pink tote which is very roomy, has large pockets inside and fits everything we need without being too heavy. The only thing is that the straps don't adjust but should be good for lugging around anyway.
