mothership--where do you put your stuff?

[twinkie]

I have a skip hop and I love it!! But it seems a tad too small now that it is getting colder out and I am packing bulkier clothes for my son, as well as a formula dispenser and bottles. I think we will run out of space once he starts solids. (He is 3&1/2 months right now) So I am thinking of asking for a Mothership for the holidays. For those of you who have a Mothership, where do you keep your personal stuff? I use one of the zippered sections on the Skip Hop to hold my wallet, keys, cell phone, chapstick, tampons, and sunglasses. The other zippered section holds small stuff for my son (travel size purell, pacifier, spare bib, etc.) Do I need an Escape Pod, or is there a way of organizing the bag so that the little things dont get lost? (I can't imagine digging around looking for a pacifier while my son is screaming.) Should I just wait for the larger Skip Hop? When is that coming out, anyway?

The left inside front pocket in the mothership is not as deep as the other pockets so it is perfect for keeping small items. That's where I keep my hand lotion, tissue pack, antibacterial hand gel, small bottle of Ibuprofen, and sunglass case. I'm probably one of the only ones here on the board that finds the mothership too SMALL for all day outings. When I went out with it I had it packed to the max. I guess if I didn't bring a sling with me it wouldn't be so packed. I still prefer my LE large tote with it's 9 pockets and 3 separate compartments for all day outings.

I can fill my MS very quickly also! Just put 1 sweatshirt in it and it gets full fast with all the other stuff. I never can fit my escape pod in it. I usally just throw my wallet on top of all the clothes. I usually don't have too many of my things in the bag. But sometimes I keep a couple of things in the outside side pocket.

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who can easily fill up their Mothership. I remember seeing it in the store for the first time and not thinking it looked big at all.
