I love that you use a beer bag as your nappy bag 😂
We didn't buy anything for #5 until he was 10 months (and the gumboots he got then were very wanted, but not essential). Cloth nappies, a carrier, and hand me down clothes did just fine.
I searched high and low for a backpack with a big insulated compartment... As someone who doesn't drink alcohol, it was a miracle that the algorithms eventually pointed me towards beer backpacks 😂😂😂
I’ve never found a non-nappy bag to have enough POCKETS! I would happily use any old bag but most normal bags I would have to add too many pouches to keep things organised. I find specific nappy bags to have all the right pockets in all the right places 👌🏼
And the pram! I have a convertible single to double which works amazingly because I don’t always have both kids with me. I keep the second seat in the boot so I don’t have to think about it or organise it.
I think it’s all about function in the end. If something WORKS and makes your life easier, happier, simpler, get it! There’s also a great preloved market for kids stuff so I get lots second hand then sell them on when we are done with them!
I think it's really so individual depending on the stage you're in and also the type of person you are.
There are things about my nappy bag and pram that work so well for me, but wouldn't be a good fit for someone else.
I guess I'm just hoping that this perspective can help new parents step back and think about what they actually need, rather than just buying what a pushy salesperson is telling them they need
