    Packing Cubes (or simlar) for Babies

    Fellow TB parents: I'm new to the idea of modular organization using packing cubes and the like, but I'm starting to really get on board with the idea. What grab and go organization solutions do you use for baby stuff?

    Specifically, I'm looking for something that I can stuck some diapers, wipes, cream, bags, etc. that will fit in my makers bag (along with my BYOB 9) and backpack.

    I'm also open to whatever advice and suggestions you have as far as packing and organizing baby stuff. Granted, this is not our first child, but I'm going into this one with a whole new perspective on gear!

    This also isn't our primary diaper packing set up, we do have a standard bag for that all set up, but when we're really mobile and I've got my bag with me for my camera stuff anyway, I'd like to have something compact-ish that I can toss in and have us covered for short stints.

    Thank you!

    A 3DOC should serve you well for this purpose. There is plenty of room for a couple of diapers, a small tube of cream, a few bags and some wipes. If the packs of wipes you use are full-size, you could just stuff a handful of them into a snack-size ziplock bag, as I did. A clear 3DOC will allow you to check the contents to see if you need to refill it as well.

    Edited to add: also the hanging hook in the 3DOC means you can hang it on a hook if need be. I've done this once or twice in rest rooms with hooks on the doors.

      IANAP (I am not a parent) but I remember this thread about using a Snake Charmer as a "Diaper Charmer": https://forums.tombihn.com/photos-vi...r-charmer.html
      I have a bunch of great bags. Favorite color combos include Aubergine/Island, Navy/Solar, Forest/UV, Original Halcyon/Wasabi, Cloud/Viridian... and now also Seapine/UV!

      I've fulfilled my dream of palindromic-colored nested bags! Navy/Ultraviolet Pilot with Aubergine/Island Side Effect inside: blue purple purple blue. Forest/UV A45 with Aubergine/Wasabi Co-Pilot inside: green purple purple green.

        The Packing Cube Shoulder Bag was my favorite diaper kit - it fit our full size changing pad, several diapers through the pull-up phase, wipes, diaper cream, clothes and more. At my most minimal, I got down to a medium size organizer pouch (Double Organizer Pouch allowed for a bit of separation) holding 1-2 diapers, wipes, a thin disposable changing pad, and 1-2 plastic bags.

        (I’m amazed that I’m now down to two small bathroom-related items that I carry with other stuff in a mini Ghost Whale Pouch - a pair of ear plugs and some blue painter’s tape wrapped around a little plastic card for covering sensors on auto flush toilets.)

          I used a Clear Quarter Packing Cube. Three diapers, a package with about a dozen wipes, diaper cream, change sheet (not padded) on one side, one toddler change of clothes, one baby change of clothes, a spare t-shirt for me, and a small dry bag for dirty clothes. It was quite full but worked beautifully for me for years.
