What kind of diaper bag do you bring?

[05ChristmasSurprise]

We brought our Petunia Pickle Bottom last time. And, while it was spacious and had everything in it, it was also cold (so we weren't on water rides), so it didn't get wet. http://www.petuniapicklebottom.com/product_detail.phtml?id=45&pg=1

I understand May is a rainy time - at least a little bit each day - and we need something more waterproof.

I was thining something like the Mac Sac would be good:

OR - I really like this diaper bag, but I have to wonder if it is big enough?

There are also diaper bags by Lands' End that are backpacks, so that's another option.

I really want to get one of these (or two) and probably will for the strollers:

So, maybe a smaller bag would be better, because I could keep most of our stuff on the stroller (wipes, diapers, etc?)

OR - should I just get a bigger bag where I can keep my camera, too?
I have a hard camera bag that I brought last time, but now that I mention it, I think I kept it around my neck most of the time anyway.

Ugh - I just don't know what to do.

We have two kids in diapers. One is almost potty-trained, but will likely be in pull-ups (especially at Disneyworld) and the other is a year old. So, we will probably need 6 diapers for the baby and four pull-ups for the older one (and wipes they can share). We will have sippies (so I think the universal stroller organizer will be perfect for that) and I think just film. (And a very very small pocket first aid kit with some bandaids). Plus, our Disney Dollars and APs, and a couple OTC meds that we always have on hand.

What would you bring/get?

I used a basic backpack when we went last time (only 1 in diapers though) and I had a small (like 6 pack size or smaller) cooler bag that went under the stroller in the basket for juice boxes, snacks etc. The backpack was either carried by DH or hung from the back of the stroller. I carried a fanny type bag (I know ~ only in Disney ) for park passes, money and the camera. I didn't want to leave that unattended in a backpack when we were on the rides.

In the backpack I carried enough diapers for the day, 1 extra outfit, wipes in a small travel size container, and disposable changing pads. I really preferred a backpack to a traditional diaper bag. Just seemed to fit more and be easier to carry.

I do like the Mac organizer for the back of the stroller though...especially if the basket underneath is smallish. I don't think I would keep the diapers there in case of rain, unless you put them inside a big ziploc type bag. That might work, plus a medium sized backpack for the other stuff.

Are you going to keep the diaper bag in the stroller basket or carry it? If keeping it in the stroller, just ask one of the shops for a bag large enough to put it in. If it rains, just put it in the bag and into the stroller. That is what we did last time we were there. We also got a second one to put in the seat of the stroller while we went into the Tiki Birds show so that in case it rained the stroller seat would not be soaked.
