What age was you LO when you stopped bringing changing bag everywhere & switched to a back pack? Do most people switch

Caitlin has an ITNG back pack and im thinking of just starting to carry that about with me as iv saw mums of LO's similar age do the same thing. Only prob is i'l not be able to fit as much in, but then do I really need to be carrying 8 nappies and 2 changes of clothes at nearly 19 months..

my changing bag seems huge for the things i need in it now. i havent really though about getting a backpack tbh, i usually just have a spare change of clothes in the car and take a pack of wipes and nappy under the puschair...i only usually take the changing bag if im going to be out for a while, iv got a big handbag too that will fit a nappy and wipes in so i know if i bought a backpack it wopuld just get niglected anyway x

I know I carry far too much about eg 8 nappies, full pk wipes, 200 nappy sacks, huge tub sudocrem, bepantham, teething gel, 2-3 dummys, vest, 2 tops, bottoms, beaker of water, a snack, toy/cpl sml books. I havent really cut down since she was a teeny baby and got used to the fact she doesnt poop through her clothes anymore !

Starting to feel a bit silly lugging this huge bag about like Mary Poppins or something

Lol omg your super prepared! I just take my handbag (quite big) and Tays lunch bag which she carries (if were out for lunch)

For a while now i just use my normal bag its actually quite big i can fit couple nappies wipes change of clothes and food/drink in x altho i only carry my purse/phone keys evverything else is callums xx

It really depends how long I'm out for - if just popping out then I put a nappy and wipes in my handbag or under the pushchair...but if out all day I still take a bag - although its never a proper 'change' bag - just like a linen bag or something

I used to just take my own bags. I spend far too much on bags to use a changing bag. but now we are potty training and venturing out with pants on I sometimes take her change bag with spare clothes/shoes etc.

I think iv been bringing so much out as we kind of use the changing bag in the house if you know what I mean - eg use it to store all nappies etc and keep the huge boxes in spare room.

Left Caitlin at her nana's today with the ITNG bag with 2 nappies, wipes, cpl nappy sacks, dummy, 1 spare outfit & cpl sml toys. Thats about as much as I could cut it down to. MIL was taking her out in pram to her friends for cpl hrs and had put 1 nappy and wipes under pram... I never think il be that brave

Wow snoops, I don't think I've ever been that organised. i just throw what I need under the pushchair. I do have spare stuff in the car and do take the changing bag if we're out for the day

Unless its a day out somewhere where i need to be prepared we stopped about 6 months ago, we take her sponge bob rucksack usually with 2/3 nappies, a pack of wipes and some snacks/juice. Leaves room for my purse, keys and phone lol. Im actually thinking im gonna have to get my change bag back out and relearn going out prepapred soon!

my changing bag is the siz of a suitcase! i think i can get away with a bak pack now as if we are going to town i dont see the point in takin such a big bag
coz they shair the changing bag mne normaly has 6 nappys,packet of whipes,change of clothes,snacks,drinks,muches raines, handgel,anti bac small spray!

i think i might change to smaller bag now as dnt need all that

I think I stopped when Aimee was about 15 months, although it was just a normal bag, just a bit bigger than I would normally use.

This time around, I have no idea when I will stop, as I feel like I am moving house when I go out with both of them x

i was thinking of getting a small back pack soon i only take 1 change of clothes and about 5 nappies max and wipes xx

I only bothered with a changing bag for the first couple of months with Libby, we dont really go anywhere without the car and there's always one in the with eveyrthing we need. Plus I hated the changing bag that went with the pram so got fed up with it. We've been an ITNG rucksack for Libby for absolutely ages now and we just put 3 nappies, about a third of a pack of wipes and some snacks/drink in it (it will fit her lunch in there as well if need be).

This time I have bought a gorgeous changing bag which looks very much like a handbag so I'm hoping I'll get alot more use out of it.

funny you should mention this, i bought Paige a peppa pig backpack only last week and use that when me and oh take her out, have kept changing bag stocked tho for when she goes to her nanas for the days im working as i like to mil to be prepared for anything that might happen while im not there eg tons of changes of clothes, nappies and wipes and half the medicine cupboard lol x

I have a plastic bag in my handbag with 2 nappies, a travel pack of wipes and a tiny tub of sudocrem and that's it. Wil carries his juice and snacks in his Thomas backpack.

If OH is out with Wil on his own he shoves the 'change bag' from my handbag in the Thomas backpack and gets Wil to carry it

We don't worry about nappy sacks because we use them for dog poos too so OH and I don't possess a jacket, coat or pair of trousers without at least a dozen in the pocket.
