I'm waiting for my Mac Triumph to arrive and I'm wondering what diaper bag would work best to minimize tipping. DS is 11 months and I didn't carry a purse before him so I guess that means I "travel light."

If you recommend a saddlebag, does it detach really easily and quickly or can the stroller be folded with it still attached?

Thanks.

My mac techno is very tippy. I found that the only thing that didn't tip it was using my Vera Bradley backpack (the smaller one). I could wear it and also sling it across the back of my mac w/o causing tipping, b/c it is a very light bag (cloth). If you are a light packer, a VB small backpack (not the backsack, just the regular sized backpack, but not the large one) would be perfect for you.

It's this one, there are all different patterns, if you prefer something less, "patterned" they also have a really nice microfiber selection that is more toned down.

I would never use a diaper bag with a Mac because it will definitely tip it. I found that the Mac organizer works best.

Another rec not to use a diaper bag on a MAC unless you don't have a problem taking it off every time. I bought a Seatbelt bag to carry with my stroller, but it ended up being too heavy so I ended up using the non descript and boring Eddie Bauer bag for the most part because it was soo light and easy to manuever. It would also fit in the basket.

I just recently bought the Mac Sac backpack (the one by Maclaren.) Haven't used it yet, but it should work.

We adore how the LE Little Tripper (http://www.landsend.com/pp/LittleTripperDiaperBag~89159_-1.html?bcc=y&action=order_more&sku_0=::ADB&CM_MERCH=SRCH_00001&origin=search) slides right into the basket of the Triumph. We also use the Maclaren Universal Organizer (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ODY5GI) on the stroller and find the two of them hold a lot of stuff! If you plan on shopping/carrying more stuff home with you, something like the Skip Hop Pronto (http://www.amazon.com/Skip-Hop-Pronto-Changer-Diaper/dp/B000F1SCJK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=baby-products&qid=1236018416&sr=1-1) leaves you more room in the basket for your goods. The Little Tripper takes up a little more room, obviously, but the Pronto can lay flat in the basket.

eta: I would never try to hang a diaper bag on a Mac. For a looong day's outing, we either stuff the basket or wear a backpack.
