Jump to packing videos for: Newborn + Pumping | Two Kids in Nappies | Twins | Baby & Toddler 

If you've just brought home the OiOi Carry All Nappy Bag — or you're eyeing one off for a friend who's expecting — you're probably wondering how on earth everyone fits so much into 22 litres and still looks put together at pram-parking time. We get asked this a lot, so we've pulled together real packing videos, honest tips and a few things we've learned from parents using our Carry All Nappy Bag range every single day.

Whether you're a few weeks postpartum and pumping on the go, wrangling two kids in nappies, or just trying to get out the door with a baby and a toddler in tow, this guide walks you through exactly how to pack the Carry All for your stage of parenting.

Quick answer: the OiOi Carry All Nappy Bag holds a spacious 22 litres across 14 pockets — including 2 insulated, elasticised bottle pockets — and can be worn three ways: over the shoulder, cross-body with the included messenger strap, or clipped straight onto the pram. It comes with five bonus accessories valued at $55.90, from $219.95.

Why Choose the OiOi Carry All Nappy Bag?

If you like everything to have its place, the Carry All is our most organised nappy bag design. It's been a favourite since we first released it, and with 157 parent reviews (87% of them five stars), it's fair to say it's stood the test of nappy changes, toddler tantrums and everything in between.

Isabella walks through exactly what makes the Carry All tick in the video below — from how the compartments are laid out to the three ways you can wear it.

Best-loved features include:

• Spacious 22 litre capacity with 14 pockets for organisation (5 external, 7 internal, plus 2 insulated bottle pockets)
• Wear it 3 ways — over the shoulder, cross-body with the included messenger strap, or clipped to your pram with the stroller straps
• Water-resistant lining that's easy to wipe clean, inside and out
• Comes with a roll-up change mat, insulated bottle holder, clear zip purse, stroller straps and messenger strap — worth $55.90
• Front compartment fits laptops up to 15", so it doubles as a work or travel bag long after the nappy years
• Durable YKK zips, protective metal feet and a sturdy grab handle

Packing for a Newborn + Pumping Gear

In this video, the Tan Vegan Leather Carry All is packed for a six-week-old plus pumping gear — a genuinely useful one to watch if you're in that newborn haze where feeds, nappies and pump parts all need a home in the one bag. Here's what goes in:

• Pump parts and bottles (a Medela pump, in this case), plus a soft comforter for bub
• Four nappies packed together as a set, ready to grab, along with wipes and the included roll-up change mat
• A pouch to corral smaller loose items so they don't roam free in the main compartment
• A wallet and the included clear zip purse, kept for anything you want to reach for quickly without unpacking the whole bag

Tip: use the two insulated, elasticised bottle pockets for pump parts or bottles, and keep the clear purse for the things you reach for most — that way you're not digging through the main compartment one-handed.

If you're also carrying pumped milk or lunch, our insulated lunch and pumping bags slot neatly into the main compartment for extra cool storage.

Packing for Two Kids in Nappies

This walkthrough uses the same Tan Vegan Leather Carry All to show how far the bag's 14 pockets stretch when you're managing two kids in nappies. Spare clothes for each child go into their own zip compartment, so there's no second-guessing whose outfit is whose. The clear zip purse is used for toiletries, the back zip compartment easy-to-reach pocket is used for personal essentials or first-aid items — and a packet of wipes and two dummies round out the rest.

Giving each item type its own pocket, rather than piling everything into the main compartment, is the real trick here. Everything has a place, so you're not rummaging at the bottom of the bag with a toddler on your hip.

Packing for Twins

Isabella packs the Black Vegan Leather Carry All to show exactly what changes when you're carrying double the nappies and clothing for twins. The included change mat gets a special mention here — twin parents love how compact it folds down. A waste bag dispenser clips onto the back of the bag, and the front pouch holds a genuinely impressive 12 nappies at once.

• Spare outfits for both babies fit easily, especially when packed in a set of pouches — Isabella's rule for twin parents is simple: pouch packing is essential, since it compresses everything and keeps each baby's things separate
• A mini pouch becomes a dedicated "parent pocket" for creams, medicines and anything you want to keep just for yourself
• If you're bottle feeding, there's room for bottles and formula in their own pouch
• A dispenser pocket doubles as snack storage, and the front pockets are handy for little bits and bobs you want within easy reach

Packing for a Baby & a Toddler

This one is captioned, on brand, "our most organised baby bag packed for a baby & toddler" — and it's a genuinely useful pocket-by-pocket breakdown. All the changing essentials go into the main compartment, with two toddler nappies packed alongside them. A reusable bib and a muslin cloth are tucked in next, and spare clothes for each child are kept separate in their own zip compartment, so there's no mixing up whose is whose.

• One zip pocket is kept purely for the parent's own quick-access essentials — the things you want without unpacking the whole bag
• Another pocket holds toys for the wait at the checkout
• A fruit pouch goes into one of the external pockets, ready to grab on the go

Check out our Mini Insulated Lunch Bag range if you want a dedicated, insulated spot for snacks and fruit pouches that isn't competing for space with baby's bottles.

A Note on Materials

The Carry All comes in three finishes, so you can pick whatever suits your lifestyle without changing how the bag works day to day.

Our newest addition is the Puffy Quilt Carry All, also available in Chocolate and Beige. It's fully machine washable, weighs just 564 grams and has a soft, structured quilted finish that looks more like a designer bag than a baby bag. If you love a print, the Olive Houndstooth Quilt brings the same quilted nylon shell in a classic houndstooth pattern. And for a more polished, structured look, the Tan Vegan Leather Carry All is easy to wipe clean and holds its shape beautifully.
