How do you carry your DDs?

What do you use to transport your girls from place to place?

Other than my Volks Super Dollfie carrying case, I use this:

 

 

It's actually a diaper bag... but it hardly looks like one! It's got a design from one of my favorite Charlie Harper inspired artists, Eleanor from Pushmepullyou.

 

There is room enough for my DSLR and a DD or a MDD and a book (and then some, but that's all I've put in there so far)... I haven't yet tried putting a DD and MDD in there at the same time. XD

I only had one outing with my DD and I had to put her into one of those smaller sport bags. Next to boxes of food because we were out to a picnic. It definitely wasn't the best way to do but I couldn't handle it different. I'd like to find a better way to transport my DD, though.

 

Gotta say that diaper bag looks kinda neat. Would you recommend diaper bags in that way to anyone?

That is such a cute bag!

 

Sometimes I just walk out of my apartment complex to the park close by. If I go further, I have a Volks bag (mixed tweed) or a couple of other large tote bags I got from Bath & Body Works. They have some fun designs and colors of large tote bags.

I have to say, the diaper bag is awesome. They're reinforced with hard bottoms because they have to carry baby food jars and bottles and stuff you don't want to break, so the dolls (and my camera) are really secure and have nice padding around them. This one I bought was only $24.99 on Amazon... the trick with diaper bags... is finding one that doesn't look like a diaper bag XD

 

Mitsuki: I used to tote mine around in tote bags too... but I was always worried because they had flimsy walls... do Bath and Body Works make more stable ones?

I put a little box and towels in the bag for structural support.

OK, I guess the box is kind of big.

Well, I guess I'll have to look around for a nice diaper bag, then. If they're more affordable than a Volks carrier I'll definitely try them out.

I have not had anywhere to take my girls so I dont have a bag or anything like that.

Are your girls sad they don't go out, fenrir z78? Or maybe they prefer having adventures at home.

I use a Volks black carry case. I can only carry 3 girls in it max tho. Anymore than that and I have to use a huge duffel bag I normally use as luggage. I used that when I took 5 girls to the park that one time.

It has occurred to me that a baseball bat bag would be a decent cheap solution for DD carrying. I was actually looking at them for lightstands and thought of it. Obviously you'd have to wrap the dolls to prevent staining, but that's the case with any bag that's not meant for them.

 

I'm using the Volks Black Lattice bag. I can't believe people are putting three or more dolls in them, I put two in mine once and thought it was kinda iffy.

LOL, same here, when I put Alna and Noumi together in my Volks carrying case I have to think, "OK, girls, no fighting, no touching, no staining!"

VOLKS bag is kinda big isn't it? I have one and when Mashiro is playing outside, I put all her clothing in there LOL!

It's certainly a bit unwieldy... I'm never quite sure exactly where it is, and I'm always bashing it into stuff That's why I love the diaper bag... much easier to keep track of where it is, LOL

LOL! But I figure out if I need to go out from my town, I need the bag. So yeah after through experience of squeezing poor Mashiro into a small bag many times, I finally decided to get a decent bag. And that's the VOLKS carrying bag. Hopefully I can bring it over to Singapore few months later

It's true, I certainly don't worry about the girls when they're in there at all!

Here are some of my travel options:

 

This one is difficult to carry around.

 

I have a box inside for support.

 

This is a large somewhat rigid bag from Bath & Body Works.

 

Sakura can sit in it. I usually wrap the DD in a towel, but it would make it harder to see.

 

This bag is shorter in length.

 

I put a box in for Sakura to sit on.

 

 

She can almost be completely hidden in the bag.

 

She prefers looking out.

 

This is the newest bag I have. It is the Volks mixed tweed carrying bag. I originally got a black one, but Halcyon was nice enough to trade with me. I like the colors.

 

Sakura fits lying down.

 

She can also travel with some pillows to make her more comfortable.

 

Thank you for looking.

Aww! I love that outfit! And Sakura look ssooo cute in it!

 

Great pics on how you use your bags! A nice variety you have there.

 

And this is only a guess but are you using Sakura here as a message to me? I know you and Jun97 were pushing hard for me to get a Sakura before so I'm thinking this is your subliminal message to me....

I am glad you like the photos, Baldylox. I forgot about using my Sakura to get you to adopt one. I was planning on working on the Mashiro adoption campaign.

Mashiro!!! She's so cute! I love her face and fox setup! If you plan to be aggresive in this campaign, you best start showing me some great Mashiro pics!

I remember you wanted Kanu x Mashiro photos!

OMG that's right! And now.... you can do a sandwich with Mashiro in the middle!

I really like Sakura's outfit in those pictures, can I ask where you got it?

 

I also like the pic of her peeking out of the red bag. Very cute.

Thank you, scripple. I like her peaking out of the bag too.

 

It is an old Volks outfit:

Baldylox found one once and got it through Kerby Lane, so I think there are some out there still.
