- To save time, get a second diaper bag and keep it packed with diapering accessories and ready to go for shorter outings.
- Bring a plastic bag for disposing of waste.
- For longer trips, make a list of everything needed on a per-day basis, and then pack accordingly. Double-check when you’re done.
