Nappy bags

I am interested in this too! There are so many different types!

I have a backpack one and its great, as I can put it on my back and still have the basket under the pram to put things in.

Ok so I had a better look at my bag. It's a babygear one (from Farmers). Has 3 zip pockets with the big one also having a mesh pocket inside it as well as I wet pocket on the other side. Has bottle holders on either side of the bag (they say insulated but they aren't), fits 2 baby bottles or a pump bottle nicely. The front little pocket has a place for you cell phone to go and has a little coin zipped pocket which is good to hold some loose change.

Thanks for your responses. I was also told by a friend to avoid the button up ones as if you drop it things can go everywhere, but if you get a zip top, make sure that it has a big zipper tag (that can be held by your teeth to assist when trying to open with one hand).

The search continues ....

The bag I have has 2 zipper tags, they are little but as there is 2 you can easily get into it with one hand. Have done a number of times.

I think I carried around less when I had 2 than when I had 1, and now that I have 3 girls I think I carry about the same amount of stuff as I did with baby #1 lol!

i have to say i have never used a nappy bag but will prob need one once number 2 arrives.
We were lucky with haleigh when she was younger as i only needed to take a few nappies one change of clothing and some wipes and bottles so my good trusty old hangbag from the warehouse did me fine. but i can see with number 2 going into cloths rather tahn disposables im going to need one lol.
so i might take a look at some of these bags to

I had the Baby Gear one that Mummy_becks has when I had Maya, but the end pockets on mine were insulated.

But now I have an OiOi Nappy Bag I didn't buy it, it was a lovely maternity leave present from my lovely boss Angela, but it is sooooo good! It has a long strap so I can fit it over the back of the double buggy, and handles so I can carry it like an overnight bag too. Plus it actually fits everything I need for 2 babies - and that's a whole lot of stuff! It has 2 big compartments, one of which is divided into three so I use the three smaller bitsfor nappies, wipes, powder etc. and the change mat that came with it, and I use the other big compartment for clothes, bibs, wraps etc. My wallet, phones etc. fit in the side pockets for easy access and there are pockets on each end that fit 2 Avent bottles in each so I put the bottles in there.
Oh and it also came with an insulated bottle bag and a wipes container.

Can you tell I love it?

oooh that is yummy. If I wasn't so "careful" with $, no let me rephrase that, I am an absolute spendthrift, and Rod is carful, so my budget for a nappy bag was limited a little. If $ was no object, I'd go an Oi Oi one as well, as I', mot really into the winnie the pooh "look at me I'm a nappy bag" look, I prefer discreet (still a rock and roller at heart..)and the yummy egg ones weren't around when I was preg with Jake, so I got a dark blue Ryco satchel that has an insulted pocket, outside pocet for dummy/keys, one for cell ph, plus 2 outside zip compartments and a large roomy interior with a change mat inside. I have found it great, sling across shoulder for satchel look, or (more likely) hang over pram handles. cost me about $40 I think? Anyhow, is really sturdy and dosen't look gay.

my mum has offered to buy me a new nappy bag for No2 cos I keep moaning about how ugly the one I have is at the moment and now you girls have convinced me to get a oioi one. I did think it was a bit expenisive but ah, stuff it!
Wah ho, shopping online here I come
