Back in the Spring I had to fly with our two boys on my own (then 2 1/2 years and 6 months). I was extremely nervous about how I was going to juggle everything, being as I am a mother with only two arms and unfortunately in this circumstance, not an octopus! I decided to buy a cute little backpack to use instead of my diaper bag so that I had one less thing I needed to worry about carrying. It worked out awesome! I could hold my older son’s hand on one side and carry my baby in the other arm, without the diaper bag constantly slipping off my shoulder. I used it as my purse the entire time we were away and now I actually use it when I am out and about without the kids all the time.
Backpacks are so cute and they are available in all colours, styles and price ranges. I have rounded up a collection of various priced mini backpacks, including a few that I am probably going to be purchasing (lol) to a couple that I wish were hanging in my closet!
