The Best Nappy Bag for Twins in Australia: What You Really Need
When you're packing for twins, the right nappy bag isn’t just helpful—it’s essential. From double the nappies to twice as many bottles, twin parents know how quickly things add up. But here’s the good news: you don’t need two bags, and you don’t need to feel overwhelmed.
Whether you’re expecting twins or already juggling double the cuddles, this guide will help you choose the best nappy bag for twins in Australia—with real tips from a twin mum and packing videos to show you how it’s done.
What to Look For in a Twin-Friendly Nappy Bag
- Hands-free design: Backpacks are a lifesaver when you need both hands
- Lots of compartments: Keeps gear separated for each child (and you!)
- Comfortable to carry: Especially important when you’re packing extra
- Durable & easy to clean: Wipe-clean or machine washable materials are a win
- Pram-compatible: Stroller straps or a structured base help you stay mobile
Our Top Pick: Best Nappy Bag for Twins in Australia
If you’re navigating life with two babies, the OiOi Multitasker Nappy Backpack is our #1 recommendation.
With two spacious compartments, it’s easy to separate parent gear from baby gear—or pack one side per twin. Designed for comfort, organisation, and long days out, the Multitasker is the bag our in-house twin mum wishes she had from the start.
"The Multitasker backpack is the perfect nappy bag for twins. The two compartments makes it easy to separate all the babies' items from my items, or have a compartment for each child as they have grown. It is super roomy, which was great for when we were in cloth nappies - it made wearing cloth while out and about with 2 little ones a possibility. Now that my kids are bigger, I have started using my backpack as my overnight travel bag. It easily fits my laptop, leaving plenty of room for everything else I need. I love my Multitasker! It really lives up to the name.” – Twin Mum & OiOi Graphic Designer
Why it works so well for twins:
- Hands-free backpack style (a must!)
- Two large zip compartments
- Pram clips included
- Padded straps for heavy loads
- Comes with 4 bonus accessories
- Easy to wipe clean
What other twin parents are saying:
“I love the easy zips that go down halfway. It's so easy to organise with the two compartments! I love how easy it is to grab and go.” – Shenay
“The amount of space is great for any occasion and also multiple children. The quality of the bag is amazing and the large cushion back straps are great for long walks. The design and functionality of the bag has been well thought out and definitely worth the money!” – Vasoula

Prefer a Tote? Try the Carry All
The Carry All Nappy Bag offers the same brilliant dual-compartment layout in a chic shoulder bag design. It’s roomy, structured, and includes essential accessories—great for parents who like a tote-style setup but still want practicality for twins.
Real reviews from twin parents:
“Love our nappy bag, plenty of room for all the essentials: nappies, wipes, nappy plastic bags, 2/3x change of clothes, bottles (usually 4) and formula, as well as little things such as dummies, pain meds, teething rings. I use this bag for my twins and I find it more than capable—and stylish, which is hard to find in a nappy bag. My bestie loved mine so much she got one too! Ours has no sign of wear a year later. Can't fault it.” – Mumma2four
“Having twins and leaving the house means taking double of everything—we found that this nappy bag allowed us to do that. The external pockets were really handy for storing creams, car keys, rusks and other bits and pieces. The material of the bag allowed it to be easily wiped down when messes happened. I would highly recommend spending the extra money to get this nappy bag.” – Twin D
Do I Need Two Nappy Bags for Twins?
Short answer? No.
Longer answer? You just need one well-organised, thoughtfully designed nappy bag.
When our graphic designer was pregnant with twins, she asked if two bags were necessary. The answer: absolutely not. What makes the difference is how you pack—and choosing a bag with smart features that work for your routine.
Space-Saving Hacks for Twin Packing
1. Use the Changing Pouch
This three-piece set includes a pouch, a change mat, and a wipes case—making it the ultimate grab-and-go organiser. It fits at least 6 nappies and keeps all changing essentials together in one spot. Pop it inside your main bag or carry it solo for shorter trips.
2. Try the Packing Pouch Trio
Pack one pouch per twin (or by category—feeding, changing, spare clothes) so everything stays organised and easy to find.
3. Add a Pram Caddy
Keep bottles, dummies, snacks, and your phone easily accessible on the go without opening the main bag.

Twin Packing Checklist (Newborn Edition)
Here’s what most twin parents pack for a day out with newborns:
- Two nappies for each hour that you are out
- 2x bottles (if bottle-feeding)
- 2x changes of clothes
- Wipes, creams, and a change mat
- Muslins, bibs, dummies
