I didn't want to take over her post, so I thought I start my own. My situation is very similiar as I will be doing a 18 hour flight with my parents, DS (4 years old) and DD (8 months old)... but I will be flying home on my own with the DCs. I love my coach diaper bag because it's fashionable and fits everything that I need on a regular base but I think having a backpack style bag would be helpful for this trip.
My DH is allowing me to take this trip but is not allowing me to buy formula there so I will be packing all the formula for this trip. Which I can't complain its about 5 big cans.. I will check in all the formula but I will like to take 2 small cans with me in my carry on. I will have a double stroller (espirit duo) an Ergo carrier but no car seats.
I'm thinking of a wheely carry on for extra clothes for us, extra diapers & wipes, 2-3 bottle of water, bottle liners, the 2 small cans of formula, DS' portable DVD player, DVDs, leapster and games.
The diaper bag will need to hold the following:
2-4 bottles, 2 bottle of water, bottle liners, extra outfit for DD, diapers, wipes, burp cloth, snacks for both DC, juice boxes, sippy cups, baby food, spoon, teethers toys, medicine bag (pretty big bag of stuff) changing pad, my wallet, tickets, passport... I'm sure I'm missing something.
Can someone recommend a bag that will fit all that stuff and survive the bag being thrown around etc.
Thanks a bundle,
