Babywearing and Changing bags

[Arcanegirl]

What type of bag to you use when babywearing?

 

[anothersquish]

I just use my normal freebie boots one, no problems so far

I have a wallaboo cheapie but tend to use my backpack more

I use a backpack style change bag when I'm wearing Isaac.

I tried a few trips out with my normal pink lining one and my shoulder nearly fell off, so I bought a normal backpack, which is much better. The only problem I have with a backpack is it's harder to get something out cos you have to take it off, so I bought one of those little bags where the strap can go across your body and it hangs at hip height, just big enough for purse, phone, keys, tissues and a bottle. I now wear that (with the straps under the MT) and the backpack on my back.

What about if you back carry though?

I get someone else to carry it wherever possible

Soo funny you said it twice
Yea if robs out with me then i will, but if im going down the road to mils then its just me and Alex, i guess its not far enough to bother carrying the rucksack by the carry handle.

 

[princessellie]

if im not going for long i'll just carry my usual bag

if im going out for ages by myself i wouldnt be BW anyways, im not strong enough to carry leyla for long periods of time

I use a backpack but I just bought the pattern for the Onbag so hopefully I'll get that made soon (with some help from my mum )

Don't know what happened there. It was taking ages to post so I ended up just closing firefox. How did it end up posting twice... and 6 minutes apart

Anyway, yeah.. I generally just put up with having a sore shoulder (I have a messenger style bag) or if I'm not going far, I'll leave the bag and just stick my phone/purse/keys in my pockets or carry them if I'm just nipping into asda or something.

If I was doing a backcarry, I'd probably just wear the backpack on my front! Might look daft (I know it does!) but the only place I really go on my own where I need a full changing bag is into Central London to meet Arif for lunch and there's always loads of tourists on the tube with their bags on their front anyway so I'd blend in I'm sure hehe.

Wow thats pricey! My connecta cost that!

So i could really get away with a normal over the shoulder bag then, maybe just make the strap longer?

Reading this ive realised i carry too much in my bag I still carry a change of outfit!

 

[Zarababy1]

ooo that is pricey! nice thoo hmmm haha

I carry a change of outfit, if im carrying Noah it's usually when the pram is too big for a hire car so oh can carry the bag.
