Moms- what bag do you use and what do you bring?

[todzwife]

For a toddler, still in diapers, eating mostly table food. No breaks throughout the day, but there is a stroller available with a basket.

We're taking DD in Sept and she'l be 15 months. Anyone is free to critique!

- Stroller with a good sunshade (an obvious )
- Beach Hat
- Water Babies Sunscreen or an equivalent
- Diapers (Maybe a swim diaper as well?)
- Wipes (for bum, sticky fingers, wiping faces, etc)
- Extra pair of shorts/t shirt
- Snack (puffs, crackers etc)
- Sippy for water (although DD is doing pretty darn well with a straw)

All of this will fit in her new Minnie Mouse back pack that zips so it stays secure.

When we went last May my son was 2 still in diapers. I put all the diapers, wipes, change of clothes, snacks, ponchos, kleenex, wet wipes, etc in a backpack and just left that in the stroller basket all day. I used my vera bradley hipster bag to carry on me and I only had my wallet, camera, sunglasses and hand wipes. I left the backpack in the stroller even at the stroller parking and no one touched it. I did put a beach towel over the stroller since it was hot and so I could find the stroller.

Did you not ever need a zippy cup or snacks in line? I swear my kids always get hungry about 10 minutes into a 30 minute wait LOL!

My kids were 8 and 4. I had two bags....

The second one I used more like a purse and camera bag....which was very comfortable and easy to use with it attached to me! You could fit plenty of baby supplies in it.

The first one we used as a snack bag. We had garden grocer deliver groceries to our hotel before we arrived and so we had snacks to bring into the parks along with water bottles. This bag was the perfect one for snacks. And I got it in black and my DH carried this one. The only thing that made it heavy was the water, but it got lighter!

I have 3 DS so I bring 3 bags: a backpack that I can keep camera, wallet, snacks, sunscreen in as I bring my DSLR camera and still looking for best option to carry that. A 31 cinch sac with wipes, extra others, diapers and then a 31 picnic thermal with waters and cold snacks. We also stuff ponchos and extra sweatshirts in stroller basket.

I brought two bags. One was this bigger Columbia diaper bag that's very lightweight and has a good insulated pack for the milk sippy. Then I brought a small Eddie Bauer crossbody bag for my wallet, phone, etc. this way I could take the valuables with me separately or put them in the diaper bag.

The diaper bag contained a milk sippy for the morning, an extra empty one, presoaped sponge pieces in case we wanted to wash a sippy. Diapers, sunscreen, hat for the kiddo, her sunglasses, wipes, and two outfits. I also took a washcloth and cloth diaper with me though never needed it. I would bring both again though. I did also make sure to have goldfish and mickey pretzels in my bag too.

We did not bring a bulky camera since we just wanted to focus on the kiddo. We just used our iPhones and photopass at the time and were happy with it. We're not big picture people though.
It was easy to keep everything in the diaper bag though so that we were ready to go for the bus and bag check. The bag wasn't too heavy to carry for a while either.

Oh and a stroller fan was a great purchase from amazon.

I usually have 2 bags (3 if you count DH's cargo shorts for cameras!) A small bag for cell phone, small sun block stick,chapstick and wallet for lines. And then a large backpack to keep in the stroller which usually has:
Diapers
wipes
sippy cup
sunblock
first aid kit
diaper rash cream(just in case)
body glide (or as we call it chub rub)
ziplock bags
bottles of frozen water
extra outfit for each kiddo
Gosh I pack a lot!

We just left his drink and snacks in the stroller - he never snacked in line for the rides. But we'd always be back in the stroller right after each ride so he'd be able to have his water or snack then if he was hungry. I think most of the time he was just too excited to eat! Unless it was ice cream! lol Oh but he did bring his toys in line for the rides - either his lightning and mater or whatever he was playing with at the time. He carried it with him. Then I would put them in my bag during the ride.

For one still in diapers (we never had that but did have one in pullups at my insistence since I was worried about finding a bathroom while in line!) I would have one backpack with your diapers and a change of clothes in case of spills, wipes, whatever you think you need. I also used to have a small soft sided cooler with juice boxes (you can do sippy cup) and some snacks (DS has food allergies, so I was always bringing snacks).

I always had clean clothes for each of my kids in a large ziploc bag just in case, including socks. You just never know!

I found a backpack was good and roomy! And my DH could carry it too.
