Are you flying this summer?

[magpie]

I am (ew, 14 hour flight!), but I think we'll probably just use one of our backpacks or something. I'm planning to take disposable change pads for the plane and then I'll put my super tiny diaper clutch/change pad in the pack for the rest of the trip. We often carry a backpack for travel anyway. That thing looks nice and huge for such a good price though!

That looks nice! I have a duffle bag that is similar. But I did find a (hopefully) nice tote for my laptop :-)

Its the cheapest huge diaper bag I could find. It is just 1" smaller than the max carry on Air France (who we are flying this summer) allows for lap babies. 

Oh, gotcha.

Why not just a regular backpack... I found that much easier when flying with the littles. Change of clothes for each of us, diapers, wipes, fold up changing pad, or disposables, some toys and my kindle and I was good to go. I could put it on with the ergo, have my hands free for the carry on, and gate checking the stroller.

We don't have a backpack, this was bigger & cheaper and has more pockets than the backpacks I've looked at. I do plan on making DH carry it though!

It is nice to have four hands for one kid!  I always seem to have two hands for two kids For flying.  People are super helpful though!  Have an awesome trip!

Backpack recommendation? I want lots of pockets!

Mine is a Swiss army one.  They don't make anything like it anymore.  I have had it for 15 years.  It has a kind of mesh trap that buckles over the front, where I can stuff all the raincoats on the outside, three pockets in various sizes from big to wallet and cell phones size, two big cup holders on the outside, several small pockets on the inside of the three pockets, and a place for my iPad and the kids kindles.  

This is one is close

this one too, but it like the cup holders on mine and the mesh thing for the coats more.
