DC2 is due in August and I have a toddler who we'll be potty training at some point towards the end of the year so I'm anticipating having to carry around quite a lot
With DC1 I didn't get a 'proper' changing bag, I've been making do with one of those big orla kiely cross-body bags that I'd had for years already but it was stuffed to the gunnels so I need something new to carry two children's worth of stuff
Has anyone seen anything? I'm not particularly fussy about needing lots of compartments and pockets - just lots of space inside, preferably quite soft and definately with a long strap to fit across the body
Maybe I go over the top with what I carry about with me but I'm expecting to want to carry:
1 pack of baby wipes
One spare nappy for DC1 and two for DC2
Muslin square
A bib
Changing mat
Change of trousers & socks for DC1 (for when potty training is underway)
Change of clothes for DC2 (in case this baby has reflux too, or explosive poo)
Sunhats for both DC
Sun cream
Beaker and space for snack/small lunch pack
Small book & a couple of happyland people
Some kind of rattle/teether
My purse, keys & phone & lippy
Small notepad & pen
Small hand sanitiser rub
Wasp sting spray
Antiseptic wipe & a couple of plasters
I think I carry too much stuff!!
Does a nice looking bag that would fit all of this in exist? I'm not keen on buying a 'proper' changing bag, the ones I've seen don't look that great and I'm sure an ordinary bag can do the same job just as well! From looking at my list above I probably should just get a rucksack and be done with it but ideally I'd like something that looks smart too and is easy to rummage about in while holding DC1's hand
Budget probably no more than £150, has anyone seen anything? What are others planning on using?
