Short answer: Pack for the baby, the weather and one small surprise, and leave the rest at home. Keep the bag light and carry the weight low in the basket or on your back, not on the handlebar. A short list, checked at the door, makes the start of the day calmer.
The best days outdoors often begin with the shortest list. A bag that tries to cover every possibility gets heavy, pulls at the pram and slows down the moment you want to go. Here is what we would pack for a day in the forest or by the sea, and where each thing goes.
The short list
- Nappies (roughly one for every two to three hours, plus one), wipes and a changing mat.
- A full change of clothes, and a bag for wet things on the way home.
- One warm layer and a hat, even on a mild day.
- What your baby needs for feeding, plus water and a snack for you.
- A rain cover in every season, and a sun hat in summer.
- A small first-aid pouch and any medicine your child needs.
- Phone, keys and card in a pocket you can reach without looking.
Soft and light: choosing the bag
A soft bag adapts to what is inside and fits where you need it: in the basket, on your back, or over a shoulder on a narrow path. Look for one main compartment you can open with one hand, a wipeable inner pocket and straps that let you carry it as a backpack when the pram is folded. Fjordi V.2 comes with a backpack in the box, sized for exactly this kind of day.
Where the weight goes
Heavy things belong low in the basket, between the wheels, where they keep the pram steady. Bags hung on the handlebar shift the balance backwards and pull on your arms with every step, as we explain in our guide to pushing comfort. Always check the basket limit in your manual: on Sia it is 2 kg, a good reminder to keep the day bag on your back and use the basket for small extras.
| Item | Where | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Day bag | Your back or the basket | Low and central keeps the pram steady |
| Rain cover | Basket | Always there when clouds come |
| Phone, keys, wipes | Pocket or top of the bag | Reach them without stopping |
| Wet clothes | Separate bag in the basket | Keeps everything else dry |
Pack the night before, check at the door
The calmest starts happen when the bag is ready the evening before. Refill it as soon as you get home, keep the rain cover in the basket for good, and take one last look at the door: nappies, change of clothes, water. Then go.
A lighter bag also means a lighter pram to lift into the car or onto a train. For the walk itself, see our tips for forest trails with a pram.

Frequently asked questions
What should I pack in a pram bag for a day out?
Nappies, wipes and a changing mat, a full change of clothes, a warm layer and hat, feeding things, a rain cover, a small first-aid pouch, and phone, keys and card within reach.
How heavy should a pram bag be?
As light as you can make it. Carry it on your back or keep heavy items low in the basket, within the limit given in your manual.
Can I hang a bag on the pram handlebar?
It is better not to. It shifts the balance and can make the pram less stable. Use the basket or carry the bag on your back.
Does Fjordi V.2 come with a bag?
Yes. A backpack is included in the box, together with the carrycot, seat and rain cover.
How much can Sia’s basket carry?
Up to 2 kg, according to the manual.
