We are struggling with bags that are appropriate for carrying all the stuff. For example: swimming with the family includes 4 towels diapers wet bag diapers for the baby etc etc. Right now we have one big duffel bag. It's so big and heavy though.
Anyone have bag they love? We are not fancy bag people.

We have an SUV where I can open the back hatch and stand DS up in the trunk for changing/etc so I basically use my car as one giant diaper bag. Ie for swimming I would carry the towels in and leave extra diapers, dry clothes, extra sunscreen, etc in the car.
YMMV depending on your car and how far away you have to park for stuff. I have heard that Thirty-One has some big bags that are very lightweight and would be good for this. I have one from them that has held up well but it's not as big as what you're looking for.

I mostly just use a big tote bag or two if I need to carry a lot of stuff. But I tend to leave stuff in the car if it's not necessary to bring in, like I'll leave my purse in the trunk and just throw my wallet and phone and keys in the diaper bag.

We use a large backpack and an additional bag if needed (we carry a bunch of Chicco bags with us wherever we go). Our swimming pool is far away from the parking lot, so we definitely need to bring everything with us and it's a PITA. I've seen some families with foldable wagon like this:  |

For swimming I use a JJB be prepared. I know a few people who have a large 31 tote that works.

I'm definitely getting one when we're not using the stroller so much. |

The wagon looks awesome. I just feel like I must be doing it wrong. We are just going swimming!
