Use a backpack!
True, it's not as attractive as some of the cute diaper bags on the market, but it gets the job done.
Here are some of the top advantages of using a backpack as a diaper bag:
1. It has built in compartments. If your backpack was built to hold a laptop, that laptop area is a great place to stash your actual diapers.
2. It keeps your hands free. You're trying to carry/hold hands with two little ones. Having your hands free makes a huge difference.
3. It's gender-neutral. Unless your backpack is pink or ultra-feminine, it's gender neutral. That means the men in your life shouldn't have a huge issue with carrying it for you.
If you already have a backpack, check it out and see what kinds of compartments it has. If not, I'd recommend looking for a backpack with a lot of different compartments. We bought our backpacks at Sam's Club for $19.99 a few years ago, and they've worked out great.
My backpack has little mesh compartments on the outside that are made for holding water bottles. That's a great place to stash bottles or sippy cups for easy access. I store our snacks in the front compartment so they're also easy to get to in times of crisis.
What do you use to haul around your diapers and baby gear?
