Diaper Bag Recommendations???

[mommy*RN]

Hi,
Just wondering what type of diaper bags everyone uses/recommends for use at WDW. Should we do a backpack, messenger bag, regular diaper bag stored under the stroller, etc. I have a Gap diaper bag, but I don't think I want to take it to WDW...it's a light tan color and I can just see it being filthy by the time we get back.

TIA!

I kept that bag they give you at the hospital and we use that when we are at Disney because I could care less what happens to it. It works great, fits under the stroller, has an adjustable strap to fit on the handles if I need the room underneath, and it fits enough!

We don't use a backpack because nobody wants to carry it, so we only put things in the diaper bag that can easily be replaced (food, diapers, wipes, outfit) I carry the cash/AP's in my pocket.

I don't blame you, I wouldn't take your GAP one either. By the time you set it down everywhere, it would be terrible on the bottom. Have fun!

I got a bigger fannie pack that I found in the sporting good section at Walmart. I tried it out at an outlet mall this week. Worked pretty good. It was roomy enough for 3 diapers, a baggie of snacks, and a baggie of wipes, plus had a pocket for my id. It does have 2 spots to carry water bottles, but I do not plan on lugging water bottles around. I like the fact that when I was changing ds, the diapers and wipes were right there at my waist.

I may end up still carrying a tote bag though.

I like the idea of using the hospital diaper bag. Hmmm. I'll have to go dig that one out of the closet.

We used a really light weight backpack. It worked great. We could just hang it on the back of the stroller and when we got on a ride, one of us just threw it over one arm. Sometimes we would even put it on one of our daughters. They felt cool and we got a break! I agree with the above poster though. We left ours in the stroller a bunch. I just made my dh carry all of the money and keys in his wallet and we took the camera with us.

I am bringing my Lands End Backpack Style diaper bag.

Skip the true "diaper bag" completely. We just packed the stroller bag that hangs from the handles of the stroller with what we needed. I bought trial sizes of everything (baby balm, suntan lotion, Purell, mini first-aid kit, little package of tissues, travel size wipes, etc) that fit right in the bag. I threw in a spare outfit for each dd underneath the stroller and we were good to go. It was easier that carrying an extra bag around.

Thanks guys...these are all great inexpensive ideas that I will definitely use!

Happy travels!
