What to do with diaper bag while riding rides?

[stella27]

Do you leave it in your stroller?
Has anyone ever had anything taken from a stroller?

I would leave it in the stroller. I never had anything stolen but I also never had anything valuable in the bag.

I leave mine in the stroller. I carry anything valuable (tickets, money, credit card, camera) in a small purse/pack onto the ride with me.

Leave it in stroller in the under basket, we try to take the camera bag with us if possible otherwise DH has our tickets and his wallet with him.

We put all the diapers, wipes, etc in ziploc bags and then we put those in the bottom of the stroller. We also had a change pad and some plastic bags under there. And, anything else we needed/valuables I kept in my bag (an over the shoulder bag).
We just put all the ziplocs in a cloth bag (the reusable grocery store bags) when we had to fold the stroller.
Truthfully, my diaper bag so quickly becomes a bottomless pit and is full of stuff that I wouldn't want to lose.
Someone I work with left his camcorder, digital camera and wallet in their diaper bag and it got stolen from hanging on the stroller.
Mind you, it was an expensive stroller and a REALLY nice (Kate Spade) diaper bag, so not to justify it, but it was kind of screaming out to be stolen.

We are putting all our valuables (camera, camcorder, cell phones etc.) in a small backpack to take on the rides with us or when we go eat. We are using a Camelback - its nice & slim with enough room for all that stuff.

We also will have another bag & leave it in the stroller that will have our kids extra clothes, ponchos, sunscreen, etc., in it.

yup, just leave it in the stroller. if someone wants to steal it, thats fine. it only had diapers and wipes in it. i wouldnt leave anyhting else in it.

I put the diapers/wipes in a ziploc bag and left in the stroller. Everyone can see what's in a clear ziploc. Bad people steal diaper bags hoping you left your wallet, camera, phone inside it. I also put a change of clothes in a ziploc and keep in the stroller.

I read on a thread one time to smear mustard on a diaper and put in in a clear Ziploc in top of your bag. No one's gonna touch that!!

That being said, we left out backpack/kids clothes/pull-ups/snack bag in our stroller, and it never seemed to be touched. Kept the valuables (cameras, wallets, etc.) with us as others have suggested.
