Diaper Bags

[aegis2005]

What do you use and do you like it? I was looking at some this weekend, that I'd only seen online, and they felt smaller in person - to the point I wasn't sure it would be big enough.

This is what I had, and I loved it.

There was definitely enough space for everything and I liked that it had pockets for my stuff. I plan to use it again. Although I've seen some adorable Petunia Picklebottom ones too...

I was given an awesome hand seen personalized one as a gift and used that for awhile but it was kind of big and I also don't want to ruin it. I got a small black Carter's one for free with the purchase of my stroller and I'm feeling the smaller one lately for short trips around town. A small changing pad, a small wipe container, 2 diapers, hand sanitizer and a chew toy:) We have a bigger one that we never use too.

I love that you called it a chew toy. <3

I LOVE my Petunia Pickle Bottom diaper bag. I'm only 2 weeks in, but we've gone on many outings and it has served me well. I have clips that attach to my stroller to hold it. The material wipes clean on the outside and there are good pockets. It looks trendy and it converts into a backpack if need be. It is now my purse.

Kim, you say "had" does that mean you don't have it anymore? I would love to see it in person. I have my eye on it, but I'd love to see the size of it in person.

Moon, are you using cloth diapers, or did I make that up? Is it a good size for cloth/do you think more space is needed for cloth?

I'm hoping for a bag that's big enough for CDs, my DSLR, and everything else, including a spare outfit and snacks for Lils. All while still not being too big. I think my expectations might be too high.

I love my Vera Bradley bag. I love that I can wash it, its small enough to shove under the bottom of the stroller, but yet it carries a ton. When I was searching for a bag, a few people mentioned that you will get tired of prints, but it has never bothered me. I rarely carry it anymore though, I can normally get away with one diaper and a pack of wipes when I go out and I leave the diaper bag in the car with backups.

Yes, we are CDing. I'm mainly using covers and prefolds now and when I go out for say up to 6 hours, I bring one extra cover and three prefolds, a small wet bag, and around 6 disposable wipes. There is plenty of space in the bag for all that plus my big wallet, a blanket, and a change of clothes with plenty of space to spare. I really like all the pockets an stage fact it could be a backpack if need be.

Also, BBB started selling PPB bags so you can use a 20% off coupon with them or order on Amazon. Be sure to get a bag with the cotton that is "plasticky" so you can wipe it down.

I have this bag and I love it! Outside and inside material is nylon, so you can easily wipe it. It is very roomy, it holds a lot of stuff. I got this when I had DD2 coz I needed a diaper bag big enough to accommodate stuff for 2 LOs. I also like that it doesn't scream diaper bag. I can use it as a regular travel bag when the kids are older.

Ha, no I had it as in I used it. Its still in Q's closet, awaiting a time to be useful to me again. I'll bring it with me when I see you again.

That is the one I have, apparently it was retired since February because it's no longer on their actual site. I love it. Super easy to clean inside and out. I wanted something not cutesy or diaper bag-ish and I can use it for something else after little ones.

Ooh. I really like this.

Mine is similar to the caters bag from pp. It came with a small version that I use when we go out & about. I use the big one for daycare.
