BeTween... how do you pack it.

hey girls,

My DD(Gracie) just turned one in January and I was thinking that I might end up getting a BeTween. It seems like after much debate and help from you ladies this is the bag for me. I just want to know how you pack yours. Pictures would totally help. Thanks in advance

YOU HAVE NO IDEA! its painful leaving work sometimes!!

Theres lots of pics in the pink room. I have no energy to pack mine and take pics, Sorry!

I do find that using quicks help a lot, and utilizing all the pockets.

I find the Tween an AWESOME stroller bag!

I don't know how I totally missed this post. My camera is not working right now so no pics but I can tell you how I pack mine.

I put two Size 3 diapers and the travel wipes case in the very back pocket. Diaper cream in one of the mesh pockets and hand sanitizer in the other. In the main compartment, I put my Rich, 4oz snack cup, a washcloth, 9oz sippy and 9oz bottle. I'm very picky and don't like the bottle pockets all stretched out so I don't use the outside bottle pockets. However, if you use them, then you'll have a lot more room in the main compartment for other stuff. In the mommy pocket, I put my keys, cell phone, calculator and other small stuff. What I like about the Tween is that it's very stuffable and I even use it when I go out without the kids.

Let me know if you have more questions.

Joanne you are AWESOME! I def need to get over to the pinkroom (which I just joined) and find some pictures I am a very visual person. I am also crazy when it comes to packing diapers, I tend to over pack cause I am very spontaneous. A trip to the supermarket can turn into a whole day adventure. lol

Glad I could help Katy Sorry I can't get you any pics right now

I HAVE THE BE ALL BUT I THINK I ALSO WANT A BETWEEN IT SEAMS BIGGER WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Joni, the Be All is definitely bigger than the BeTween. The BeTween has a lot more organization though. But if you're looking for space, definitely stick with the Be All. Or you could always get a used Tween and try it out.

THANKS,
I AM STILL TRYING TO GET THE HANG OF THIS BUT IF I WANT TO BUY A USED JU JU BE WHERE DO I LOOK

Have you signed up to be a member of the PR (Pink Room)? The PR is the official Ju-Ju-Be Forum for JJB addcits. Here is the link:

There is an FSOT (For Sale Or Trade) there and that is where you will find used JJBs at great prices. The members take really good care of their bags and they are all super sweet

when I pack my between I actually don't use a quick at all....it is pretty organized on its own...I put the diapers and wipes in the back pocket, any little stuff like snacks in the front pocket and my stuff in the mommy pocket!!! I love mine (though I don't get to use it as much with 2 kids and one on the way)

That's why I love the Tween! It's an organized bag n itself that I don't have to use Quicks or Sets although I do use a Small and sometimes Medium set. The Quick is too big anyway.

I def'n see myself hanging on to my Tween for a long time. I LOVE her

me too, I feel like I can use it even when I don't have the kiddos and need something to organize my stuff

I use it all the time even when the kids are not with me which is not very often. A lot of people think it looks too much like a diaper bag but I don't think so.

I actually had never considered packing her without my boys....And, on the rare occasion I go out by myself, I am sad to leave all my JJbs at home This is the perfect solution.

I also agree that it is too not diaper bagish looking to enjoy a day out sans children when a little extra organization is needed

I don't put too much diaper bag "stuff" in the Tween anyway so when I go out without the boys, I just leave it in the bag....I don't unload

Nice, that def'n makes it easier. I am still in the days where the bags are still more theirs., then mine. I think my total contents equal a wallet, phone, and a chapstick.

I was just starting to get to the point where I didn't need a lot of stuff, but now DD is PTed and I need extra clothes just in case, DS is still in dipes and I have a newborn on the way!!! It will be way to small, but in ME it is so pretty I could never get rid of it

LOL! But you still have a 4-mo old so that's understandable

Oh yeah the Tween would definitely be too small for you. Now...the FBA in prints would be perfect!
