Right now I use a regular backpack. About to have baby number two. Is this roomier than a regular backpack? Thanks

About the same room as a widish backpack actually... Pockets are an extra though. I've had this bag for 6 months, and now my side pocket zip doesn't zip up!

I wouldn't say it's roomier. It's better designed for baby gear and I know which pocket everything is in. Never used a regular backpack for this, so I really can't compare. I used a diaper bag for the 1st year and then looked for a backpack that wasn't too babyish. This fit the bill and it works great for us.

Our baby is close to 13lbs and I feel like she has a few more months in it- it is very roomy on her. I think you would still get a lot of use out of it.

I went with what size prego clothes I wore. I'm not sure how that would work carrying 2. If you have a motherhood maternity near you maybe ask them. Hope that helps some.

My suggestion would be to purchase the PISA pump that comes in the small padded carrying case and skip the backpack or tote all together and get a different bag that suits your needs. This is what I ended up doing with my first child because I am an ER nurse that had to pump during 12 hours shifts. I needed lots of room, so I bought a 31 brand utility tote that fit all my power adaptors, nursing covers, stored milk, pump etc. Like this one: http://www.thirtyonegifts.com/catalog/product/495/catid/22/swid/229b/zip-top-organizing-utility-tote-u-r-u-in-u-r-u-swirl-dot/

I have this carrier. I did not use this particular one for my baby as a newborn. I had a smaller one I used for him. It is geared towards smaller babies. I used this carrier as he got older, around 6 months.

In my opinion, you will definitely need a separate bag for your things. I hang a small diaper bag over the handle bar (although it's not recommended ). The basket is hard to access, but if you have small hands and skinny arms you can get in there. It doesn't hold much

They are 2 different things. If you travel a lot (by plane or train, car is easier) and don't have too much space in your apt/house, then the Nest is FANTASTIC! It was a suitcase when we traveled and a bassinet next to my bed when we were at home. I loved it and it is the only gadget i kept... just in case we decide to have a #3. My daughter used it until she was around 6 months.If you dont travel and you have the room, then the pack and play is the way to go. You will use it until they are at least 24 months.. or more.cheers!

Hello - I'm debating which style to get - the backpack or the tote, and wonder why you like the tote better. Is it just a style choice, or is the tote bigger or more functional? Thanks!

Not at all. There are 4 interior pockets so I used one for diapers, one for pull-ups, and one for wipes/diaper cream. The other one holds my first aid stuff. And there was enough room inside to keep a change of clothes for the baby, extra bottoms for my toddler and a nursing cover.

It's the size of an average backpack. It has lots of room and both my husband and I like it - infact I ditched the usual "mom" diaper bag because of its comfort and convenience. But as far as stap size there is plenty of room for most body types.

I personally think so... but I don't carry it for long amounts of time. My husband has a diaper dude bag, and that definitely has better padding. Absolutely love this bag though!

Honestly I love my bag and I only have 2 boys one is 3 and the other is a month old. It's just like a huge purse but is more organized. It is big but not unbearable. You can strap it to a shopping cart or stroller too if you don't want to take up basket space. I definitely recommend this product for anyone who wants the space and durability that every mom wishes their diaper bag would have.

For me I had two in diapers, then the toddler just potty trained. Since there are four interior pockets, I didn't lose things in the bag since I put the smaller items in the smaller pockets. Its not that deep and it opens up wide enough to access everything so that is not a problem for us.

I have the backpack and am able to keep extra bottles, wipes, the tubes/horns, and the small bag with the ice pack but that's it. Even though it holds a good amount of stuff I got annoyed lugging it, my purse, and my lunch box into work everyday and just started leaving it at work. Now I just have to bring the tote holding the milk in my lunchbox & I'm set. For comfort I would agree that a backpack would be better than a shoulder sling bag.

No. You will find it is a perfect size and you'll appreciate the extra room over a smaller bag. Definitely not like those big backpack types.

To be completely honest, I have NO idea why I bought a double stroller. We've used it but two times, maybe and I find it's only useful for twins or other multiples. I have the cover, unused, and buried in a closet somewhere. A baby bjorn and regular stroller will be just as sufficient.

I'M 6FT AND 275. I DON'T THINK THAT IT IS TO SMALL. I HAVE A TON OF STUFF IN IT ALREADY AND THE MAIN COMPARTMENT ISN'T EVEN A THIRD FULL! I DO like the way it is wider at the bottom than that top. To me it just looks better than one that is the same width top to bottom. I'd say go for it if you are looking for a smaller/day pack. It's a good 'un!
