Large Capacity Bags: For Twins or Multiples
Organisation is the key to parenting. We know sometimes we can be forgetful (blame it on the baby brain…) but having an organised changing bag can make things a bit easier, especially when you’re trying to juggle multiple children. You may wonder if you need a new changing bag when having another baby, or a specialist bag for twins. So we’ve made your life a little easier by picking our top bags for twins and multiples and also giving you some handy tips on packing your changing bag to ensure you’re comfortable and organised all day long.
Our top 5 tips for packing a larger bag:
- Keep heavy items at the bottom of the bag. This means the weight is supported by your back and legs rather than your shoulders which is better for your posture. So make sure items like board books and heavier toys are kept lower down in your bag, as close to your back as possible.
- Maintain an even weight distribution. If you’re using the side bottle pocket for a bottle of water, try to balance it out with a similar weight item the other side pocket so one side of your body isn’t taking all the strain.
- Keep your most used items within easy reach. Keep spare dummies or their favourite soft toy within easy reach by using the external pockets on your bag. Some of our bags also have wipes dispenser pockets on the outside for super quick clean ups, a life-saver when weaning and for parents of toddlers.
- Adjust the straps for your comfort. If you’re sharing your bag with a much taller or smaller person than you, then re-adjusting the straps before each of you wear your bag will give you the most comfortable wear. The base of your backpack should sit above just your hips to give you the best support.
- Make use of your stroller straps. When you’re out all day running after little ones the strain can sometimes get too much - especially if you’re carrying things for everyone! Make sure to take the load off and use your stroller straps to give your shoulders and back a break from time to time.
