Question for Momma's who have the Citymini!

OK, so clearly the basket is super small....

stupid question, perhaps... Where do you put your diaper bag?! Do you just carry it? Do you hang it from the handle with a mommy hook even though it says not to hang anything from the handle?

Do I just put it back in the box and return it to BBB and get something different?

I hang it over the back too. I've never had a problem except for when I take DS out sometimes it starts to tip. But that's only if I've got the bag loaded with stuff.

I've always jammed it into the basket, even when I had a bigger bag. Now I have the VB Mommy's Day Out which is pretty small so it fits in pretty easily.

I hang my bag but would hang it on any stroller. I find the basket perfectly fine. I don't go out with the world do maybe that's why.

For me, it's not so much that the basket is small, just that it's difficult to access. I usually go through the side and stick the diaper bag in there. Sometimes, if I know I'll want easy access to the bag while we're out, I'll hang it from the handle.

Re: Question for Momma's who have the Citymini!

I usually unbutton the side to give myself more room. I am able to fit a decent size diaper bag, my camera bag and even my coat. It's a bit of a pain to get things in and out but they do fit. I really like the stroller.

We hung it.
If the kid is sitting in the stroller, it won't tip.
Mine tipped when the kid got out.
The stroller is great & I minimized on stuff. Even with 2 kids...

I don't use a diaper bag. I have a small organizer that velcroes onto the handlebar that will hold my wallet and phone if I don't have my purse. If I have a purse, I hang it from a Velcro hook. Diapers, I just have a couple in a ziplocs with wipes in the basket underneath.

I hang my bag on the back.. but I've found that when I need to use the basket, I go in from the side since it's stretchy.

Re: Question for Momma's who have the Citymini!

I gave these to hang my bag on (they velcro around the bar, very strong)

I hang our diaper back on the back. Never had an issue with it tipping the stroller.

I don't find the basket too small. What is there to put it in? We just have an extra blanket, a net in summer, the rain shield and sometimes a toy or something. I could throw lots more in there, but I have no idea what else I'd need.

I stopped trying to jam my diaper bag in there and now just bring an old purse with a few diapers and wipes in it. I travel light since there is a Walgreens on every corner lmao

Re: Question for Momma's who have the Citymini!

I always hung by bag on the stroller and made sure not to walk away so it didn't tip (never heavy enough anyway). I now throw what I need in the basket and go bagless, but ds is 2.5 and needs less stuff

Re: Question for Momma's who have the Citymini!

I hang my bag on the handle. The stroller may tip if I take my DD out and leave the bag on the back of the stroller. But I've gotten into the habit of taking the bag off first, and no issues at all.

ETA: Most strollers say not to hang the diaper bag on the handles. I would not return my city mini for that reason. I love it too much!
