My kids will typically each carry their own towel &#38; did when they were younger as well (for the most part). I like one with a fun color to go with my suit &#38; to have some type of extra pockets for a little stash of cash, cell phone, etc. I have a little plastic zipper one that originally came with a different bag that I just switch from bag to bag as it's waterproof &#38; I can toss my cell phone in it. I found as soon as my daughter was old enough she needed her own bag for the pool as well. My son could care less, he just wants a towel! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pool-style-part-3-totes#post-65632 Sat, 16 May 2009 01:33:36 +0000 Angie 65632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I carry a HUGE, flat, tote basket - one I bought on a market in Paris. It's fabulous. Light, strong, roomy and I suppose very Euro. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pool-style-part-3-totes#post-65622 Sat, 16 May 2009 00:33:23 +0000 sinead 65622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have two teens, and when they were small I took a great big tote for everything. But- they carried their own towels, and I think the reason this worked so well was that their grandmother sent them each special towels- for my son, a hooded dinosaur towel and my daughter had a frog towel. Sounds goofy, I know, but it saved me lots of lugging. They loved those things.</p> <p>If your kids are past that age, of course, they can just lug their own towels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pool-style-part-3-totes#post-65612 Fri, 15 May 2009 22:09:46 +0000 April 65612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you want humongous, look for the lightest fabric you can find. I have the very largest size of the LL Bean canvas tote, and I swear it weighs more empty than I feel like lugging! Especially in the heat.</p> <p>Better yet, give everybody his/her own smaller bag so Mom doesn't have to do all the lugging. I love all the ones shown at the top of this page: <a href="http://www.delight.com/advanced_search_result.php?junction=OR&#038;keywords=envirosax+reusable+grocery+bags+grocery+bags+bags+tote+bags" rel="nofollow">http://www.delight.com/advance.....+tote+bags</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pool-style-part-3-totes#post-65603 Fri, 15 May 2009 20:57:11 +0000 Kristen 65603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been looking at the cute patterned ones at Target, since it's just my stuff that needs to fit. Once I settle on a bathing suit color, I'll pick out a tote that doesn't clash. It can fit my towel, but it doesn't have to; the towel would not be stuffed in there for the return trip after swimming because it will be too wet, so I might as well just carry it separate going to the pool too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pool-style-part-3-totes#post-65600 Fri, 15 May 2009 20:46:48 +0000 Christie 65600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I carry a large LL Bean tote. I love it. It stands up on its own!</p> <p>Another idea is to have the kiddos carry their towels around their necks. I should have done that with my kids earlier. The towels are so heavy all in one tote. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pool-style-part-3-totes#post-65588 Fri, 15 May 2009 18:31:50 +0000 Patience 65588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What kind of tote do you bring to the pool? Is it large enough to hold the towels too? With two kids, that makes three towels and lots of stuff (sunscreen, snacks, toys, clothes) to tote around. This year I'm considering getting a cute tote for the stuff and carrying the towels separately but I don't know that that will be practical. But it's hard to find a humongous and cute tote. Thoughts? </p>
