Need opinions on park bag..

[lilybrooke14]

Does this look like an adequate park bag to carry in for DD2? I think it's got enough room, but it's got a bunch of zippers and stuff for security to have to go through. I think it'll be handy to just loop over my shoulder for the parks.
I've actually already got this one

I'm thinking of getting this one though, because you can just loop in onto your stroller.

Which do you think would be better?

it depends on how much stuff you're plan on carrying. They're both cute, but are you bringing along a stroller, does your baby drink out of a cup or a bottle? imo go small that way you don't get extra tired carrying around a heavy bag

I just bought this Baggallini after reading some great things about it on this board. I got a great deal on ebay, a lots less $$. Has side pockets for my son's drink and a water bottle for me plus it's my fav color, pink! (Other colors available for non pink fans.) We are also planning on taking a stroller but our small cooler will be in the basket underneath. So I needed a small, lightweight, cute bag to carry that left my hands free, this one is perfect!

What do you have to carry? We don't take any bags in the park. We throw a few diapers, a ziploc of wipes, some water, extra sunscreen, and the camera in the back of the stroller and that's it. As for money and tickets etc, we just stick them in our pocket. We used to take a bag but it is just more stuff that you don't really need. If you can't live without a bag then I would find the smallest one that holds exactly what you need. Good luck!

We are taking a backpack for DS. He will be 21 months when we go. I found a good one at Wal-Mart in the Sporting Goods sections for only $10. It has padded shoulder straps which will be nice for carrying it on rides.
I know we will need a bag at the parks. I plan on taking: diapers, wipes, swim diaper (for water fountains), extra outfit, sippy cups, and toddler spoons. We will also have our camera.

I wanted to bring a bag that would be easy for DH to carry when we parked the stroller to eat or get on a ride. We have a skip hop messenger diaper bag now that I love, but I don't think it would be as easy to carry a messenger type diaper bag around. The backpack, we can hook it on the stroller with our stroller clips that we found at Babies R Us.
