Diaper Bags for Multiples

[Squishy622]

Anyone have a diaper bag you've loved (or hated) for your twins/triplets? I have a couple larger ones from my singleton that I was going to try out but it might be fun to have something new. I've also gotten some recommendations to use a regular backpack, which sounds like it would be great ergonomically, but I do enjoy all the little pockets/compartments that usually come with a kid-specific bag.

when the twins were infants I used the bag that my pump came in. I had the Medela metro messenger bag and it was cavernous. I carried a spare outfit for each of the kids, one to two bottles each depending on how long we would be out, some burp clothes, diapers, wipes, and misc toys. I'd also keep spare outfits and diapers in the car as backup cause you just never know. They were summer babies so I didn't carry an extra blanket. Just the light one we tossed over them in the car seat.

I currently have paired down to a skip hop versa that I really like. It has enough pockets for the baby's supplies and snacks/sippies for everyone.

I use an Okkatots for LO and will move her out of it to use for the twins. I LOVE having a backpack (free hands) and my husband loves it too. Plus using an actually diaper bag backpack will give you all those pockets you want . The side pocket is insulated, I can't tell you how nice it is to throw some stuff directly in there with some ice packets.

I got a big Kate Spade one for Mother's Day. While i obviously haven't used it yet with the twins, I absolutely love it and feel like it will be perfect. I never had a huge diaper bag with DS and was fine, so I think I'll be ok. I'll likely do the same as with him and keep spare clothes in the van as well.

I do still carry stuff for DS too, but mostly just water and snacks. I might get him his own little backpack to carry that stuff if needed.

+1 for skip hop. I can't remember exactly whiat the name is of the one I have but we love it. All the pockets are great and I love the stroller straps so it clips on to the stroller. Makes it easy to get to everything.

I am in the backpack camp. Love it and it means that DH carries it most of the time when we are out together I do know what you mean about the organizers in the regular diaper bags, so I bought extra make up bags (Target had a set I loved) and use those to organize my stuff.

Do you have the abundance one or regular sized one? I'm going to be getting a PPB, but not sure if the giant one is reallllly needed or if the regular boxy will be fine.

Regular boxy. Works great!

We have the Skip Hop Duo. It has a ton of space. Of course, I pack like the apocalypse will happen while I am out, so I often can't close it shut and stuff hangs out...

I just use a 31 tote for when we are out an about. I always keep a stash of diapers, wipes, and clothes in the car as emergency back up. I tried a big diaper bag and it was just always too much.

I have the regular PPB boxy backpack and I love it. I carry it as a backpack almost all the time, and don't know what I would do without that feature. I am a notorious under-packer (I try to leave backup clothes/diapers in the van), so I don't know what I would do with a bigger backpack other than stash weeks of books and mail ;-).
