Post How often do you use your BRB?
Who uses it everyday? If so, do you use cloth? How many kids? Babies/toddlers?

Anyone wear the brb & baby wear with an ergo front facing? Does that seem doable? Comfy?

Just wondering how often I would use it :) (I know what works for some won't for others though).

We are TTC & that would put me with a 2 1/2 year old with a newborn ;)

Thanks!

I used mine (BRB 1.0) nearly every day in the winter just after DS2 turned 1. We had some long days at the hospital and the BRB meant I only had to bring one bag. I kept using it day-to-day because I also loved the extra space for stashing his coat, hat, & mittens on short trips.

As for the BRB and an Ergo, we spent one long but very comfortable day that fall going to a game on homecoming weekend at West Point. We walked all over the place, watched the cadets parade, etc, all with DS in the Ergo and the BRB on my back. If you've ever been to USMA, you know how hilly it is! I felt fine at the end of the day though, no chafing, no sore shoulders, even though the bag was pretty heavily packed with several cans of pre-mixed formula and extra clothing. My FIL kept asking to carry the bag but I wouldn't let him since the weight of the bag balanced out the weight of DS on my front.

The BRB was the perfect bag for us that winter. I used it a couple of times this past winter on the days we spent shopping downtown, but I found I didn't really need all of the space. I just sold the bag last week (after making sure I had pics of it in use lol).

I use my BRB all the time and have since I got it when DD#3 was about 6 months old. For part of its time, it did cloth for DD#3 and DS#1 as well as backup undies for DD#2. I keep a drink cup for each kid in there and usually have snacks. For as many kids as I have and as many in cloth as I have had, it wouldn't hold a whole day's outing for us. It worked for regular outings for the kids and I and I always have backup diapers in the car or else for longer, bigger outings I generally had someone with me to have another bag to hold the additional needs for us.

Now it holds drinks for 4, bottles for 1, diapers for DS#2, along with other things. I'm amazed how much it holds.

I have worn it while using a Baby Bjorn-type front carrier as well as with a mei tei-type carrier. It's comfy, carries all I need and works very well for me. I don't like over the shoulder bags as I feel all the weight goes to one side and is uncomfortable. I love backpacks and the BRB is by far the most comfortable, biggest and best one I've ever used. HTH!

I just got my Stargyle BRB 2.0 recently and used it for our last minute trip to Florida. Worked great, I had so much room to stow all three kids stuff, and stayed well organized.

Its too much bag for me to use everyday (mine are all potty trained) but its an awesome out of town bag I think!

I got a BRB 2.0 a few weeks ago, but haven't used it yet. I do love the bag though. I'm planning on using it tomorrow for DD at my parents since I sold my hip. Granted, I only have a 3 year old so that makes a difference, but I only plan on using it for day trips and my parents.

For me I prefer being able to wear something crossbody when in diapers or babywearing.

I am more of backpack gal. Love the look of crossbody but ends up being too heavy on my shoulder & I feel uneven

I only really use mine (1.0) when we go to disney or anywhere that requires a lot walking. I find the backpack to be really comfy. I also use the bottom compartment for my cloth diapers and wet bag. DH actually requests that I pack it for our outings b/c it's the most comfortable diaper bag for him to carry.

I got mine maybe early July? And I have not used any other bag since buying it.
I have three sons, five, two and one so it suits our needs perfectly.
I since sold my BFF and PB as this one seemed to replace a lot in my collection.

I've had mine for a week now and I'm having a hard time even thinking about reaching for my other bags. I just love, love, love it!

I cloth diaper for 2, but we've been on sposies because of our extended holiday up North. I'll be switching back into cloth tomorrow and I hope it's still perfect after the switch.

The BFF for doesbt work for me & I am tempted w a PB since I just have one in cloth right now but I think DH would like the idea of a backpack. If the brb 1 or 2 is half packed, does it still carry ok?
