Diaper bag?

[Jillaroo]

Last week I got a Kate Spade Stevie bag at tjmaxx. I've not had a diaper bag thus far and it seems nice.
But I've been totally second guessing myself as to whether I even need it. I usually throw a diaper in my purse and keep more supplies in the car in one of those reusable shopping totes. And dd is already almost 7 months old. Am I too late to get a diaper bag? How long did y'all use one?

I still use mine, lol. I carry two diapers, a change of clothes for each kid, wipes, sunscreen, hats, sweaters in case it gets cold, bug cream. Sometimes I throw in my wallet, keys, sunglasses and don't carry my purse.

I used one until he was about two. As he got older, he needed less diapers and less snacks, which is pretty much all I carried in there after he was off of bottles at one.

If you want more kids, go for it, otherwise, I would go for an oversized purse so I could still use it after my kids are out of diapers.

I still use mine, and my kids are 3.5 and 1.5. If we're just running to the store or the park, I just use my regular purse and throw a diaper in. But when we're going to be out of the house all day, I pack the diaper bag FULL.

Sometimes I feel stupid packing a bunch of snacks, board books, etc, but they inevitably come in handy at some point, and I'm thankful that I'm an overpacker.

We got a diaper dude and still use it. He's almost 3.
