Best nappy bag for Phil and Teds?

Hi everyone. Just wanted to ask, I have a Phil and Teds with the double seat and which nappy bag fits the best, I need one where the bag hangs low enough below the second seat, such as a messenger bag etc. I know there are Pannier bags, but I want a proper one I can wear too! Thanks!

I can't understand why they didn't make the pannier bags with straps to carry them too, seems so obvious (well to me it does) .

I can't help you I'm afraid, I use a pannier bag as think a bag hanging below the back seat would be too low (I have steps to go up and down), I would think a bag hanging from the handle would affect the balance anyway (especially if you carry as much crap around as I do).

Why not try the P&T rucksack it's called "Bacpac" see here. It has two rings at the top, and 2 loops/dog-lead clips that go on the handlebars of the buggy.

I've had mine 2 years now and it's a good bag, (if unglamorous) whether a rucksac or on the handle. Any bag is a long way back when you have the double seat on but there are days when you want to give your shoulders a rest, even if you have to walk a bit further back.

It does affect the balance - DON'T take front child out if you have weight on the back; (I have done this in a cafe!

Picture here I took when selling my spare one on ebay, HTH

BTW just noticed in the link, the new Bacpac has 2 drink pockets, at last they realised 2 kids need 2 bottles.

I sometimes fit a skip hop bag on the side instead of a pannier - the saddlebag uses velcro but the bigger bags have clips

I also have the pram clips which help when hanging stuff on

Which Skip Hop bag do you use? Would love to know, thanks!

I have a skip hop dash but I've not used it on my P&T
I travel v light and only use the skip hop saddlebag on the side of the buggy
I've never hung a bag from the handle although I do have the waist bag that P&T sell

Hi there,
We have the Phil and Tedds Classic with double kit, and also a mountin buggy terrain (which is fantastic can?t understand why they stopped making them) and we use this bag, www.englishcowhidecompany.co.uk/categories/1180-Leather-Bags/products/5539-Amara-Mini-Leather we bought it in a soft chocolate brown the quality is superb it can be used as a handbag and fits perfectly over the handle at the back so everything is easily accessible, cant recommend it highly enough and am thinking of getting another in a brighter colour as well. They are made in the UK with a lifetime guarantee so you can?t really say any more than that for the quality.
