Lets talk about diaper bags

What kind of diaper bag do you have? What all is in it? Is it working out for you? I had one handmade and it is much smaller than I need! I'm having to tote around alot of things outside of it. Super frustrating but it's so cute I hate to leave it behind.

I have a petunia pickle bottom and I love it. It is the back pack style and has a fold out diaper changing pad. Lots of room and easy to carry around.
Took the words out of my mouth. The one I carry now is about 14x14x6. We carry a sippy cup, snack, extra shorts and undies for DS, fold up potty seat, bottle or nursing cover, a few diapers, wipes, extra outfit for DD, paci, wallet, phone, and keys.
With DD, I learned early on to ditch the purse. I now just put my wallet, cell, and keys in the diaper bag, too.
My bag is made by Skip Hop. It's not too big but easily fits everything I need.

I have a Graco bag that looks like a knock-off Lug bag. It's medium sized.
We carry 3 diaper inserts and an extra diaper cover, plus a couple of sposies "just in case", that we haven't had to use yet. A wetbag, change pad, 10 cloth wipes and wipe solution in my old peri-bottle. If she has a red bum we add our bum cream, but usually don't need it.
For feeds we carry a nursing cover, some baby face clothes and a nursing pad.
As well we have a change of clothes, extra blanket, and a small case with an assortment of things like a pacifier, nipple shield, a couple of ziplock bags.
I use it as my purse so it also has my keys, phone, wallet and coffee.
The bag is about half full, but I suspect as I have to add a couple of toys and snacks that will change.

I have a JJ cole bag, and so far I love it. I carry disposable and cloth diapers, wet bag, footie pj's as her change of outfit, burp cloth, wipes, Burt's bees multipurpose ointment for diaper cream, lotion, hand sanitizer, extra paci, thermometer paci, gas drops, and an AA blanket. Sometimes a bib too if she's particularly spitty.

I don't carry my purse anymore either. I did try to at first, but it was just way too much unnecessary junk.
The diaper bag now has: diapers, wipes in a small case, A&A blanket, some small travel size packs of diaper rash cream, extra outfit for DD, changing pad and burp cloth. For DS, I have a few fruit snacks and some cars. I also keep my wallet, keys, sunglasses and phone.
I have something like this (but in different colors & I think it's a different brand... MIL got it for me.) I was using the small one only but I messed up the zipper lol. It was nice becasue it was a good size for DS to carry- he felt very proud to be able to help me.

I also have a Fisher Price backpack-style bag. It has a pocket on one side that holds a travel wipes case, and an insulated pocket on the other side for bottles.
It holds A LOT of stuff. I have to clean it out every day because I end up putting everything in it. I keep all the typical diapering stuff in it, plus a receiving blanket, extra clothes and socks, and a couple of toys.
I tried to use it as my purse, too, but it ended up getting too heavy. It's actually easier for me to carry two bags.
