Hi I need some advice, I am using cloth nappies, but I have also started babywearing just wondered how anyone else gets all their stuff out with them, I have a 2yr old as well so needs to be hands free, have tried an ordinary rucksack but it makes my wrap go funny if I put it on when on my own, just wondered if anyone has any ideas?
Thanks

I use a rucksack but have the straps on it quite loose and it doesn't seem to cause a problem with my mei tai or my ring sling.

I'm useing a moby wrap and the fabric is supposed to be spread across your back and shoulders, so when I put on the rucksack it bunches up and I cant spread it out again on my own, I think I must have short arms!! Thanks though

Take a pushchair, use it to put all your stuff in. Or an OAP shopping cart could work.

Interested in this thread?

I bought a waistsack (similar to a rucksack but only has a waistband not shoulder straps)

It cost me about £20 from Millets and the Brandname was "Eurohike"

I love it, I fit in a change of clothes, trainer pants and a foldable toilet seat in ours plus all the normal, baby stuff and before we started to EC, we use to have cloth nappies in there too (minus toilet seat of course)!!

It looks like a mini rucksack, I think it was 10 litres but I might be way out on that size.

I wear it under my DD front or back makes no difference and I can tie her on and off with or without the bag. I use wraps, mei tais and recently a pod with no problems.

If I find the model name I'll post it...I love it for babywearing.

lol joys, I could ask my nan if I could borrow hers I surpose!! and I think a pushchair just for nappies and stuff is abit excessive, even I don't need that much stuff!! Thanks Babyseverywhere, if you could find out for me I would be really greatful, it sounds like just what i'm looking for, did you get it from the chainstore millets? I think we have one of those in our town centre, so can have a look! Thanks so much for your help!

Yes, it is from the chain of camping shops called Millets.

Still can't remember the model name and the bag itself only says Eurohike.

It has a waist strap padded with a small zipped strap pocket. The main bag has two compartments and a zipped inner pocket.

The outside front has butterfly straps so you can tie on a coat etc (we don't). Two external zipped pockets and two netted drink holders (no drinks container with it)

I use one for water bottle and fit a folded waterproof in the other.

It is black with a small amount of grey.
