nappy bags....

I'm confused with nappy bags when baby two is here my DS will me 13 months. This will mean that I'll still need to carry bits around for him aswell as the new baby.

In order to do this I cant work out whether it would be best to get two separate changing bags or one large one.

I did have a cheap ebay find that I loved with my DS when he was first born but it soon out grew how much I needed to carry around. The bag im currently using doesnt have compartments and I cant find a reasonable organiser so I'm after a new solution for when new baby is here as I hate things not having their own place.

I have seen the back pack style changing bags but not sure if 2 will be too much with a double pram.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated thank you

One bog-standard rucksack will do it. That's all I ever carried including when I had two DC in nappies and needing a variety of spare clothes, snacks, sticker books and my purse, keys etc.

Paid about £15 in Sports Direct. It's lasted years.

My children are adults now, so a long time ago, but I only ever used a rucksack. With two little ones it was ideal because I could put it on and both arms were free to wrangle the kids. Anything that would have had to hang off my shoulder would have been a nightmare.

Was you able to get a rucksack that had enough compartments? I'm a nightmare with everything being in the right place

OP I have been in your situation! I have a similar bag to this link https://www.aldi.co.uk/mamia-baby-changing-backpack/p/090572394196900?gclid=Cj0KCQjwsuP5BRCoARIsAPtXwFVvwQVeLGa1VBNHUnhhX6qBK1HbQu6eCbWoaf5rSmrD1caErBvv4aAiYjEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

It's great for storing all the babies bits and bobs x

There’s 20mth gap between my oldest and I just used the 1 standard size changing bag. It had a thin changing mat then I used to take nappies for baby and toddler, wipes, bottle for baby, bib, spare sleep suit and best for baby and couple little toys. If was going to be out for most of the day I put a change of clothes in pushchair basket for toddler. And I used to just keep my purse, phone and keys in the bag too as too much of a faff to take a bag for myself too.
