If you toddler-wear, how to carry stuff?

[biogirl21]

How much stuff do you need to bring? I would probably try a messenger bag. Put that on first then the Tula.

Or a fanny pack

[matildasun]

I have a small messenger bag, about the half the size of a normal messanger bag, that worked well for longer outings, but I packed lightly.

[huskymom]

Fanny pack? LOL

I'd probably bring a wristlet and leave a bag in the car but tough if it's something like the zoo.

[matildasun]

I tried a mountainsmith backpack sized fannypack, from the 90s, but it didn't work for me.

We rarely brought the stroller, and were often carless.

[meltoine]

I generally try to just stick my phone and keys in my pockets and carry a water bottle if we won't be gone too long or too far rom the car. If I need a bag I just bring my regular tote-style purse.

[lala]

A tote that I kind of carry on my arm. But really for that kind of stuff I still take the stroller. Inevitably someone wants to ride/sit in it at some point and I can't carry our lunch, diapers, water bottles, for 3 hours at the zoo. The stroller is like a cart for those days. Most other places I don't need as much stuff or I can leave my bag somewhere central and just carry my wallet.

[karinothing]

I know some of the carriers have accessories that you can buy that are essentially a fanny pack. If it were me? I would bring the stroller and just throw everything in there lol. Heck, that might be part of the reason I had enough kid, just so I could have an excuse to use the stroller again

[water*drop]

I do a messenger bag if I have a lot of stuff, or I have a clutch (specifically, one of these: www.etsy.com/listing/262946735/laurel-taffy-with-repreve-tagalong?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=tekhni%20clutch&ref=sr_gallery_8 ) that I snap to the arm strap of the carrier if I don't need much stuff. I can fit a small wallet, phone, a diaper, and a trial-sized pack of wipes in it.

Messenger bag, but I do often have the stroller since I know at some point one of my kids will want to ride

[imojoebunny]

I used a bungalow 360 large messenger bag (it isn't huge, just large enough for what you need, and the strap is adjustable to fit over the carrier. It is also pretty light compared to other bags. My DS would not get off my back until he was 4.5 years old.

Also, I'm mostly blaming you for needing this. I found a full WC for way below retail on FB yesterday and bought it intending to sell my canvas. But those aren't selling -- so now I'll have two. Oops.

Welcome to the dark side. They are so soft and wonderful!

I need to list my standard canvas. I might just put it up for like $100 and be done with it.

If you do that will you let me know! I keep a stash of things like this for customer moms in need

[steamboat185]

I have a lightweight nylon messenger bag that has a few pockets and works well.

[CloudBee]

I would use a small crossbody, throw in a travel pack of wipes, a diaper or two, wallet, etc., and wear it positioned over my right thigh.

[nessness]

I use a fanny pack for hiking or a cross-body for general outings. If I need a lot of stuff, like we're going to be out most of the day, I bring the diaper bag, which is a messenger-style bag, but it gets heavy. If DH is with me we'll trade off wearing DD and carrying the diaper bag.

[Deleted]

DD is 14 months old, I front-carry her in the Lillebaby and wear my jujube BFF diaper bag in backpack mode.

[kershnic]

Well, I put my diaper bag on the back of the stroller with the other kid.

But if I happened to be out with just one I'd go really minimal and just bring my purse.
