Tips for Organising a Nappy Bag for Two Kids

Organising a nappy bag for two kids can feel overwhelming, but with a few strategic tips, you can ensure you're prepared for any situation. Here’s how to get started:

1. Choose the Right Bag

Opt for a large, multi-compartment bag like a nappy backpack or tote. For inspiration, check out our blog on the Best Nappy Bags for 2 Kids 2024.

2. Pack in Categories

Divide the bag into sections for each child to keep things organised:

• Baby Section: Nappies, wipes, burp cloths, spare onesies, dummies, formula/bottles, or breastfeeding essentials.
• Toddler Section: Snacks, water bottles, a change of clothes, small toys, and wipes for sticky hands.
• Shared items (e.g., sunscreen, first-aid kit, hand sanitiser) can go in a central pocket.

3. Use Pouches or Packing Cubes

Assign each child a colour-coded pouch for their essentials. Our Packing Pouch Trio is a perfect solution. Designed with easy pull-tabs, they’re ideal for quickly grabbing items on the go. Many parents love using different prints to organise essentials like nappies of different sizes for each child.

4. Prepare for Emergencies

Keep a small first-aid kit handy. Our signature Wet Purse is perfect for storing first-aid supplies. Transparent so you can see everything you need, it’s a must-have to keep liquids contained and your nappy bag tidy.

5. Minimise Bulk

Choose compact, travel-sized items to save space. For example, use a Wipes Case instead of a full packet of wipes. This small change can make a big difference when carrying essentials for two kids.

6. Stock Up Regularly

Restock essentials like nappies and wipes after each outing. For an easy guide, check out our Nappy Bag Checklist.

7. Think Ahead for Activities

Pack a small book or toy for entertainment. For older kids, include activities like colouring books or puzzles to keep them busy. Don’t forget to bring snacks, which you can keep cool in one of our Insulated Lunch Bags.

8. Use External Pockets for Quick Access

Keep your keys, wallet, and phone in an outside pocket or a separate pouch. Store frequently used items like wipes and dummies in easily accessible sections. You can also clip on our Dummy Case for easy access to dummies and our Waste Bag Dispenser for managing messes on the go.

9. Keep a Consistent Packing System

Always pack the same items in the same spots. This makes it much easier to find what you need on the go and speeds up restocking, as you’ll instantly spot where the gaps are.

10. Keep Spare Supplies in the Car

Store extras like nappies, wipes, snacks, and clothes in the car to reduce bag clutter. Our Change Mat Clutch, Changing Pouch, and Fold-Up Tote are all great options for keeping spare essentials organised and ready to grab when needed.
