Regular purse. Slightly larger than I carried before, but I always used to carry the tiniest one. So now I use a normal sized one and it's great for all the extras. Plain black. Boring but functional and easily washable!
I also have a Kate Spade Stevie. Honestly the quality on mine is not good. The straps started fraying within the first week of using it (before I had a baby) and now one of the leather parts that covers the connection of the strap to the bag has completely fallen off. Still it looks nice enough since I got in on super sale and most people don't know it is a diaper bag. I will most likely not get another KS though.
Im still using my carters giraffe print diaper bag from when wesley was born. It is starting to fall apart though. Im thinking of just purchasing a bigger purse and using that instead.
Same bags I got at my shower. My coach one and my Vera Bradley one. The coach one is quite a bit bigger (even tho it doesn't look like it in the pic) so I take that one on longer trips where we'll need more diapers, wipes, extra clothes and bottles and such.
Still using the skip hop studio... very diaper bagish but it holds so much. If we're just running out for a quick errand I use this fabric bag thing that just holds a few diapers and travel case of wipes.
I still use my boxy backpack. It's big, but I still typically carry cups for both kids, diapers (and pull ups for DS1 in case) and wipes, and spare clothes for both kids.
I'm sort of surprised some of you go without extra clothes? What do you do if your kid has a blowout while you're out? This rarely happens to me, but I thanked my lucky stars I still had all that stuff when E had the messiest of poops when we were at a restaurant on vacation. And there's always a possibility of an accident with DS1 too.
We use a backpack. It got hard with my coach cause DH never wanted to carry it, and when me and ds were alone, my arms were on fire from carrying him and the diaper bag. I carry a change of clothes in the backpack, however I need to update. The other day ds had a blowout and had to go shipping in sweat pants and cowboy boots.

This is freaking hilarious

I have a plain brown and pink diaper bag that I picked up at a thrift shop for $4 when LO was a couple months old. It was brand new with a tag..I could care less if it was designer. As long as its functional and easy to clean. I keep a few diapers, wipes, a sleeper and an outfit, a couple toys and snacks (like toddler MumMums, puffs, fruit strap and a juice box) and a bottle of water for me in there.
we switched to a backpack. It's got a section to hold a lap top so I just put the changing pad back there so it doesn't touch the other stuff and I've got diapers, in there clothes, table toppers, snacks, even has a water bottle holder on the side and that's where sippy cups go.

It was some sight. He still looked handsome I must say.
I have been using my Coach tote, we don't carry a lot of baby stuff anymore since he is now drinking water. If we do long day trips I leave a fully stocked diaper bag in the car
Re: what bag are you using now with your LO?

Still not as much stuff as when he was a newborn.

Also, blowouts?!? Dd hasn't had a blowout in ages. Does your LO still have them???
But I count on Murphy's law. The second I'm unprepared, it'll happen and then I'm screwed!
