the Plus One bag on ozebaby, look under NICE KNICKERS, bags made by Kirrily.
I use a Fisher Price "bowling bag type" nappy bag. around $55. bought at Target in baby section where nappy bags are.
started off using knapsacks/backpacks. the ONE BLACK HOLE that everything nappy disappered into - did my head in. Every time i wanted to change bilbs whilst out, i had to virtually empty ENTIRE DMM BAG to find ANYTHING! grrrrrr to the max.
the bowling bag is not perfect, but a huge improvement.
i tried alot of nappy bags, by taking them off the shelf, laying them open (taking out stuffing) and literally putting in what i would put in for an outing, to see if they did the job or not. Most did not, most only fit disposables, not MCN.
it helped me work out what was important to me (in a nappy bag)
- zips or magnetic buttons to close
- bags that open right up so you can see at a glance, what is there
= separate compartments (not one big space)
- big space to put wetbag when full
- somewhere to stand up water bottle
- small secure pockets for essential stuff
- elasticised pockets
- not too deep
- good to have straps long enough that will go over pram if needed
- washable or wipedownable
- no PVC (fumes give me headaches)
the bowling bag has zippered external pockets on each side of the bag. (2)
the main section has a double zippered panel, inside this section, on each side is a compartment (3)
so i have the big main compartment left empty save for a wetbag
i store spare set of clothes in the internal compartment pocket 1
i have another internal compartment pocket 2 which i kept spare wraps, spare prefolds for nb stage, and spare nappies at later stages.
external pocket 1 has lots of separate pockets, great for Mum's Survival kid stuff
e.g breastpads, lipbalm, purse, phone etc
external pocket 2 has a divider for two sections, i keep the clean nappies in there
the bottle pockets at each end of the bag, i keep water bottle in one, snacks in tupperware cube containers in the other.
No funky print, just a serviceable black or red to choose from.
I think Julia Martinez is a name on ETSY that makes very FUNKY nappy bags and you can request stuff you like specifically.
