Hi :-)
My 2 lads and I are chugging along OK at 25 weeks. I'm starting to think about some of the smaller issues (the major stuff's already sorted).
I was wondering whether anyone had any advice about a nappy bag- I wouldn't have a clue what to look for.
Are there any bags people have had good (or bad) experiences with? Any advice would be appreciated.

I bought a chep nappy bag when I had my first baby- total waste of money. Didn't last to see her out of nappies. When I was pg with DS I bought a Kapoochie- the small back pack style. It's been fantastic! We're even taking it overseas with us at Christmas as carry on luggage.

A big thumbs up for the Kapoochi backpack from me too. I have the large size (called the Classic Backpack I think) and it's been fantastic. It easily holds everything you need for 2 babies. It has lots of separate compartments so you know where everything is. The only fault I've found is that the little rubber zip tags tend to fall off, but that hasn't really been as issue.

Im putting my vote in for the Kapoochi bag as well. I have the big bag with a detachable smaller bag on the side. It was the only bag I found that could easily hold 4 Avent bottles in its insulated pouches. Its got so many little compartments and I just love it. It cost about $100, but it was well worth it.

Well worth the extra dollars

I don't really have a preference (because my bub's haven't arrived yet) but I did find some fantastic bargains on ebay (new and used products depending on your budget).
Have fun - I loved all the shopping side of things

I am another Kapoochi lover here. I started with the Classic Satchel. This was fantastic when they were small bubs but now they are bigger with bigger nappies and clothes it is not big enough when we are out all day so I also have the Classic Carry All. I use the Satchel when just going out for a couple of hours (ie shops) and the carry all when going out all day and need food, changes of clothes, etc. It fits everything in and I love it.

I bought a cheaper brand than the Kapoochi (I resisted buying anything at all for months - in denial!!) - my advice is to buy a backpack, whatever brand you get - when you're juggling two babies, the last thing you need is to try to keep a strap over your shoulder. I still use the backpack when we're going out in the car.
