I love my BJCM which I just got, but I'm having a hard time finding a diaper bag that works for us with it. What do you gs use?
A little about us DS is 10 months and naps in stroller. We are obsessed with Ju JU Be and I have BFF, Light, Be Prepared, and Be RIght Back and mighty be. I use BFF as everyday bag but am finding it to bulky on stroller and not sure where to hang it when it is reclined. I tried the light and like always at first I love it but then I succumb to my overpacking and then everything is spewing out all over. In the basket I always keep our ergo and I purchased this for the left side of stroller. I had one on the other side too, but I access basket from the right side and realized it didn't work http://www.amazon.com/J-L-Childress-...2143008&sr=8-1 I love this thing as it gives more space. I also moved the basket lower which created WAY more space in the basket, not sure why people say it has a small basket. Compared to our cubes Callisto this thing is massive. Anyway I digress lol i love bags with organization hence JJb, I use a quick and sets in my bags. Love my quick, love to just grab that for diaper changes instead of the heavy diaper bag. I don't carry bottles as DS breastfeeds but I do use a zippy and DS is eating a lot so we always have food and snacks. I like to carry an extra outfit, toys, a small first aid kit, I use a be mine as my wallet and I always have our small canon camera. We travel a lot especially DS and I we fly a lot to visit my mom and we go on tons of day trips so once we are out of the house we are gone for hours at a time. The one thing I hated with my cubes Callisto was the tipping factor of when I took DS out of stroller it tipped haven't had that with BJCm yet.... And I hope I won't. So what to you all use as diaper bags with your BJCM, and how do you work it, with stroller straps, in basket, over handle bar? I've been looking at the ver Bradley small back pack, any experience and also jjb mini be, not sure if those would be to small for me, but I could leave stuff in the car. Ideas, please! |

I LOVE the Skip Hop Dash Deluxe. It works perfectly with my BJCM. It has the shuttle clips, or you can just throw the shoulder strap over the handles. Either way. We've never had any tipping. It's big enough to hold everything you mentioned, but small enough to fit in the basket underneath.

I have a Skip Hop Via Messenger
http://www.amazon.com/Skip-Hop-Messe...2222287&sr=8-1 Similar to the Dash, but slightly different material, pockets, etc. I really like it. I have mommy hooks on the BJCM and I attach the bag to the mommy hooks using the shuttle clips. Hope that helps!

I have the Skip Hop Versa. I usually hang the strap over the handle. If I need to recline the seat, I fully extend the strap and it hangs below the back of the seat. I also have stroller hooks that I use on occasion - but not usually for the diaper bag.

I had a Skip Hop Dash with the stroller clips (I think they call them shuttle clips?) and thought it would be ideal with my BJCM , but I found it to be a pain. You had to keep switching the straps and I liked the longer strap to carry it. I ended up hating my Dash so got rid of it.
Honestly, you can use any old diaper bag that has a long strap. I have a JJB Behave and also a larger one and they both work just fine. I don't think you need a diaper bag that has the stroller clips. I just throw mine around the handle and it stays on there just fine. You can get stroller hooks if you want and hook your bag on there if you prefer. |

I have the Skip Hop Duo. Sometimes I just sling the bag handle over the stroller handle, and sometimes I attach it with the clips. Depends on if it's a quick trip or not, and if my SK Buggy Buddy is in use.

I was thinking of the versa but not sure. I also think that maybe I can get away with something smaller and was thinking of the Vera Bradley backpack since then I can go handsfree when we run into the store with DS in the grocery cart or in the ergo.
I just have so many JJB's but they are heavy and I still can't find one that is perfe t for us, they just seem so bug and bulky. Right now I carry a quick with 4 size 3 diapers and hard wipes case and a light change pad One medium set with 2 plum organic foods, spoon, bib, pack of mum mums Another medium set with toys Small set with medications DS sippy cup and my camel bak water bottle Be mine wallet and iPhone, canon camera Small first aid kit, it's hard case got it from babies r us Small items stuffed in random pockets, like maxi pads, washcloth, tissues, etc. I usually will put DS sweatshirt and blanket in the stroller in the cargo netting If we go out for longer I will have to pack more snacks and for that I can bring a fuel cell and put that in the basket so no big deal I really thought that |

Meant to say really thought the BFF would be our bag, and as much as I do love it, I'm finding it bulky and cumbersome and I'm not sure if that is the bag or me packing to much!
Oh and I also pack a change of clothes in there as well! |

I will try to take some pics of my Versa on the BJCM later today. We are about to go errand running.
