Hi again ladies,
I'm trying to pick out a diaper bag (or bags!!) right now. I'm not sure what I want or what to get since I'm a 1st time mom to be. I know intially I'll probably be an overpacker out of paranoia;) I know most people say a messenger style bag works well w/ a sling. Dumb question, but do you wear it on your opposite shoulder from the sling then? By "messenger style" do you girls think one longish strap is better, or do "tote" style bags (like those w/ two straps) work well w/ a sling?
What do you find works well w/ your sling? When your babies were very small did you tend to use two different bags...like a small one (maybe something like a Little tripper from Lands end for example) when you ran quick errands w/ your sling and then a larger one for when you had the baby out in the stroller (which could then be carried in a basket under the stroller?)
I'm debating what to buy. I was thinking about the Lands end Do it All bag but I've heard it is pretty large...a decent stroller bag, but I'm sure it would be too large to use w/ the sling. What if I bought something like the Do it all for stroller and a little tripper for quick errands w/ the sling?
Any advice? I just know what I *think* I want/need will probably be quite different from what I really want/need after baby is here and I have some real life experience;) So...I thought I'd borrow on all of your experience as moms if you all don't mind sharing some advice:)
