My twins are 2.5, they are not fully potty trained, but they are wearing pull ups and they will tell me if they have to potty. Should I still carry a diaper bag for them? Are they too old?

As long as you have kids that need pullups, you need a diaper bag. As soon as mine were out of diapers/pullups, I stopped bringing a diaper bag everywhere, but I still leave a bag in the car that has hand wipes, snacks, a small first aid kit, a set of extra clothes, disposable bibs, a fork and spoon, and an empty cup. That way, in case of an emegency, I still have stuff that I may need. You never know what may happen- you forget to bring a sippy cup to the restaurant, they need a bib because you buy popsicles at the park, they have unexpected diarreah and need a change of clothes, they fall and need a bandaid... If you keep a little pack in the car with these things in it, you are prepared, but you don't have to keep carrying around a bag wherever you go.

I stopped carrying the diaper bag when he weaned himself off bottles... after that, I carried a messenger bag w/ enough space to accomodate my junk and a change of clothes, a couple sippy cups and some pullups. Once he was potty trained, I just carried a change of clothes (or two) in the bag... but I didn't really stop carrying it until he was around 4. Even when he was potty trained, he had a really small bladder; sometimes, a 20-minute trip would end in disaster!

I stopped carrying a diaper when when my son was actually 2 1/2. He still wasnt potty trained , but i didnt carry all the stuff i us eto carry when he was a baby. At 2 i would carry wipes and 2-3 diapers. After that pull ups ,i would add one in my purse and traveling wipes package. Now he is 4 and finally trained, but i still carry with underwear and wipes in case he has an accident and needs to be changed. kids are unpredictable and many things can happen.

my elder son is goin on 4 now and i no longer need to carry a bag around for him but my younger son who has just gone 2 this month is in the same situation as yours he is not fully potty trained but wears pull ups and will tell me when he needs to go,but i still carry a bag with a spare pull up or two with a change of clothing just in case because kids are unpridictable and you never know better to be safe than sorry : ) soon the bag wont be needed at all but i think its just best to be prepared for littl accidents that may occur even if they seem to be doing really well with the potty training you never know : )

I would just carry a few pull ups and a change of clothes with me and leave them in the car. There's no longer a need for a diaper bag, the diapers are gone and so are the bottles.

I stopped carrying a diaper bag and switched to larger purses that can carry extra diapers and clothes. But now, I just leave it in the car. If they need it then it'll be there..my daughter is now 4...and I just bring an extra change of clothes and leave it in the car with some wipes.

My kids are 10, 8 and 11 months I try to keep a bag in the car with clothing, wipes, lotion ,suncreen, bag of cookies, bottled water, diapers, pacifier a bottle and loose change, if your kids are almost potty trained I guess you could carry your things in your car and use them whenever you have to.

I found it really easy to keep a bag in the car clothes, pull ups and baby wipes. I also keep extra things like shampoo, plastic bags etc. Which has saved me many times. Just for a short time more I would keep them handy in the car with you. So, even if your at a family gathering or church you can fix an accident. Hang in there just alittle while longer

I stopped when my youngest was 2 - I was in the same boat as you, she was in pullups and not 100% trained.... but my husband bought me the cutest Coach purse for mothers day and I was so sick of lugging around that huge diaper bag I said goodbye to it! lol
That said, if I'm out for extended periods I will sometimes drag it out if I need to bring alot of wipes and such.... ugh. :)
