I was wondering if anyone knew of a good diaper bag to bring to disney. I had one for my younger daughter and the strap broke at the airport. We are expecting again and will be in disney with an infant, and a toddler. Thanks so much =)
never been to Disney, but adopted my 2 older children from Korea with whom we traveled home with and lots while they were little...I loved my GAP backpack....it is black(so my dh will use it too) and the interior is so easy to clean....love love love it!
I would second the idea of using a backpack. We use one on our trips and it's so easy to just throw it on your back when leaving the stoller behind to enter rides, restaurants, etc.
I have one that hangs over the bar on my Graco. It is a full size diaper bag, but it just frees up all the cargo space on the bottom. I have done that for every trip we have taken. I got it at Babies R Us (I'm not even sure what kind it is...)
I use a backpack for all my babies stuff as well when on vacation! I found it so much easier than the diaper bag that I use it at home on the go too DH will also carry it too since it is not girly and is black
We took a Diaper Bag on our first trip to Disney in 2007 (we had a 18 month old and a 4 year old) anyway one day in the park and I realized it wasn't going to work so we drove to Walmart and bought a backpack 9.99. It had room for everything we needed and holders for drinks on the side. It was perfect to fit under the stroller or when we were waiting for the bus one of us put it on, which made us still able to hold the kids or the stroller while getting on. With that said I strongly recommend a Backpack. When we go in Sept. with now a 6 year old, 3 year old and a 18 month old we will probably take two.
I'm on baby #3 and still haven't owned a diaper bag. I've always found a backpack to be more useful and easier to manage. For DD, we use my old canvas Disney backpack and we tuck a soft-side insulated lunchbox inside to hold bottles as needed.
I bought the Baby Bjorn Backpack diaper bag. It was about $40 but well worth it. It has a bottle/juice cup holder on each side that you can grab w/o even taking it off. It comes with a changing pad. Has a big main compartment and a smaller one in front that can hold little baby food jars/containers. It also has hidden pockets where I keep my kids immunization books and small toys to keep them occupied at dinner/etc. I love it because it is easy to wash, black so my dad doesn't feel weird carrying it, and very comfortable to wear all day (well, we all take turns) I ordered it from albeebaby.com
We use a backpack for most of our baby supplies (food, bottles, formula, extra diapers) and we use this stroller bag to keep diapers, wipes, disposable changing pads, snacks & a sippy handy.
We had the Skip Hop single and when I found out about the duo we were actually at WDW. We ordered it overnighted to the hotel and have been thrilled with it. Since then, we have taken 2 more trips with it to the world. I don't know if it would do a single...but you might could use the long strap and make it shorter.
We also added the CarryYou since our Maclaren doesn't have cup holders. It attaches to the handles and provides places for those things you need all the time, plus drinks.
Instead of a diaper bag, I would take just a regular back pack. Eddie Bauer makes a good back pack, which is what we used. It has several compartments that are easily accessible.
We use 2 Skip Hop Saddlebags on our stroller along with a backpack for any big, bulky stuff (resort mugs, Ergo, ponchos, etc.). But all of our baby/toddler needs fit in the Saddlebags with room to spare.
