Keep it Compact

Sometimes I like to play a fun game with myself, its called "How many items can I stuff into my diaper bag?" I have diapers, wipes, a change pad, half a dozen toys, change of clothes, my Flip cam, sunscreen, burp cloth, peneten cream, Mum Mums, two bottles of formula, a jar of snacks, kleenex, oh and my wallet! Yes my diaper bag is big and heavy, but at least I have back up for any situation.

Over the last few weeks, I have been trying to find a more compact bag that I can throw a few things into and go. I got a personalized knapsack when Frankie was born which I thought would be great for this, the problem is, it has no side pocket for a bottle and I cant chance the bottle leaking all over everything inside the bag. Then I saw the cutest knapsack that a friend of mine had. What did I do, I went out and bought it of course.

It is a great knapsack. It has a bottle holder on the side, a compartment in the front for the little stuff (ie. the Flip cam, pacifiers, Blackberry etc) and the main compartment is a great size. It can hold my diapers, change pad, wipes, a few toys, Mum Mums, a snack container, and ususally I can stuff his sippy cup in there ... not bad!! The absolute best part of this knapsack is that they make them look like cute animals (I got the doggy). When Frankie is older, he can use it for school.


Where to buy: BB Buggy or Lil Niblets (around $25)
Note: both stores do not carry all animals
