I was a bit of a light traveller. I had a backpack nappy bag that was fairly small but still had room for extra nappies, wipes, change of clothes (for bub) and a cloth nappy. That's about all I ever needed. Few small things in the front pocket. So DD would go in the HAB and the light backpack on my back. I would fit my mobile phone and purse either in the front pocket on the HAB or my pocket or in the nappy backpack. Too easy. Any extra stuff could easily have stayed in the car. We didn't buy a pram that fitted in the car until she was almost six months old so it was only the HAB for trips.
