My sister is 10 years younger than me. Therefore When I when we adopted her I was in 4th grade and I remember everything. I remember her stroller, the clothes she wore, her pajamas, and her big honking diaper bag. Ten years later, things have changed drastically!
I'm in a diaper bag tornado. I love the Skip Hop Duo Deluxe and would like to purchase it. However, I'm concerned it won't be big enough.
I will always keeps an extra outfit or two, extra diapers/wipes, extra blankets and extra shirt for me in the car.
1) When we go on outings we usually are not gone all day. We will run an errand or two and be out for a few hours. I think this diaper bag would be perfect for things like that. It can hold a bottle or two or nursing cover, extra onesie, diapers, wipes, cream, burp cloth, hand sanitizer, pacifiers?, and changing pad.
2) If we do go father to visit family (my parents are 22 minutes and J's are 90 minutes away) we can still bring that diaper bag but put extra in the car or I can use my Vera Bag.
3) If we're going on an over night trip she would definitely get her own larger bag and we could fill the diaper bag with all bottles if we had to. {I am planning to nurse but these are just scenarios}
4) The sitter will always have plenty of diapers, wipes, and an emergency bottle at her house along with a change of clothing so we don't have to constantly bring everything back and forth.
When I look online to find "what do you put in your diaper bag" some people have lists a mile long! Do I really need all of that stuff for an outing to Target or HobLob? If I always keep extra in the car do I need an entire outfit in the bag or can I get away with just a onesie until we make it back outside? I know once it snows I won't want to go back outside, but honestly, I'm sure we'll be homebodies this winter with a young baby!
Is there anything big I'm missing? Do you have the Skip Hop Duo Deluxe? How do you like it? Is it big enough?
Any information is greatly appreciated for this first time mama!
