Anyone with two in cloth and a Phil and Teds? Which changing bag do you have?

Save me from my mire of indecision, please

I did .

I mainly used the P&T panniers, they are fantastically roomy and can be transfered to other buggies too. A bag over the handle bars needs to be very short/ squat to not get in the way. A friend had one that was meant to be a lunch bag I think, from Habitat. Not big enough for cloth though.

I suspected I might need to go for some sort of saddle bag arrangement. The P&T ones seem a bit 'messy', do they have compartments?

I wondered about Skip Hop Saddle Bags... Not sure if they'd be room enough (assuming I'd use two).

I did (one is now out of nappies but still needs a change of trousers just in case!). I use a small rucksack if out and about. For shorter trips I just put a nappy or two in the basket, tucked into the net bit, with a few cloth wipes and a wet bag.

I don't tend to take all that much stuff out with me either. I meant to link to those Skip Hop saddle bags...

I have the panniers and never use them.
I use a Boots wipe clean toiletry bag (from a set of 3) instead and fit it in the bottom of the pushchair.
I would be in a bit of trouble if they needed more than one nappy change each though.

I do the same as presidenttaylor. No need to buy a special bag.

skip hops saddle bags are suprisingly roomy for their tiny size but worlds apart from the p and t panniers. I do all my shopping on foot though and often spend the whole day out so need lots of space.

I've just had a look at the Allerhand bags mentioned, they look so good I might go for one myself now.

Washersaurus · 07/06/2009 10:45

I had two in cloth and just used one of the pannier bags as they hold so much - I tended to carry onesize nappies that would suit both of them to cut out the bulk.

I do sometimes ditch the panniers in favour of a daysack especially if going around town as the panniers do get in the way a bit.

thesockmonsterofdoom · 07/06/2009 10:46

I used the panniers, also have an eastpak back pak the type that students always have.

Hi, just wondering whether you tried the saddlebags in the end as I am current facing the same problem, No2 due next month. The other possible I'm looking at is the Babymel X2 if the bags could be fitted on the side but I need to actually see it to figure that out. Any further suggestions or advice would be welcome as I'm now starting to panic

I have 2 in cloth and use a skip hop saddlebag (in pink camo to match pink camo p&t) for quick trips out and a skip hop duo (again in pink camo) for days out, i either attatch it the handle bars or if i have the bumper bar on i hang it from the side like a pannier.

I did have panniers but they were too bulky and made the pushchair too wide, the saddlebags

4andnotout · 07/07/2009 08:09

The saddle bags are nice and slim and add no extra width

There is a p&t bacpac which is designed to attach to it. I have one, but no p&t! called bacpac x I think, try amazon. Quite roomy although not quite big enough for my needs as I have twins.

rowrowrowyourboat · 07/07/2009 13:45

I was hoping that if I got a pair of the saddlebags that would take most of what I need for the day. Do you think that you could get three or four nappies in one and a spare vest and sleepsuit?
If the saddlebags don't work than I'm going to have to get a backpack but I'm trying to avoid having too carry much myself as I have a bad back.

Indith · 07/07/2009 13:55

just a normal rucksack, it fits in the basket fine. I often just take a minki grab and go though especially for shorter trips, can happily get 3 terry squares in and a sleepsuit as a change of clothes for the baby.

4andnotout · 07/07/2009 15:52

I can get 4 itti's, a tupperware tub of wipes, and purse, mobile, keys, juice cup and dummies in one saddlebag which would leave another free for vest sleepsuits bibs etc.
