Let's talk diaper bags

We were all set on the Skip Hop Bento until we received it & realized it wasn't as deep as we thought & online people complained about it falling over.  So, back to the drawing board...

What have you had that you liked/disliked?

My TTC Journey:
Dx: Hypothalamic amenorrhea / mild PCOS (Pretty much a hormone/ovulatory disorder)
Progesterone to induce period w/ the goal of Clomid - never got period (September 2011). Referred to RE.
Femera - never responded to the meds (December 2011)
Clomid with TI - BFN (February 2012)
Injectables (Menopur) - hyperstimulated/canceled (March 2012)
Injectables #2 (Menopur) with TI- BFN (May 2012)
IVF - OHSS (transfer canceled), but 11 frozen! (June 1012)
FET - 1 transferred on 8/09/12. Beta#1 (11dp5dt): 350.3; Beta#2: 365; Beta#3: 157. Biochemical pregnancy.
FET # 2 - 1 transferred on 11/01/12. Beta#1 (11dp5dt): 337; Beta#2: 769. BFP!!! 1st ultrasound 11/28/12 showed heartbeat, but measuring 5 days behind. 2nd ultrasound 12/05/12 - miscarriage.
FET # 3 - 1 transferred on 1/24/13. Beta#1 (11dp5dt): BFN.
FET # 4 - 2 transferred on 3/21/13.  Bet #1 (11dp5dt): 660; Beta#2: 1,300.  Miscarried at home @ 6 weeks.

FET # 5 - 2 transferred on 7/12/13.  Beta #1 (10dp6dt): BFN.
Attempted an IUI in late August 2013, but didn't respond well.
IVF #2 with PGS - Stims started 10/28 with retrieval on 11/11.  Of 14 mature eggs, 10 fertilized, 4 made it to Day 5 & 1 made it to Day 6. We did PGS on the Day 5 embryos, and 3 of 4 were normal. Had ET on 11/17. Beta #1 (8dp6dt): 203. Beta #2 (10dp6dt): 618. We since had two ultrasounds & on 12/19, our RE released us to the OB.  On 1/02/14, we had our first ultrasound with the OB where we heard the heartbeat.  We are so thankful for the blessing & crossing every finger & toe for a healthy & successful pregnancy.

    I also have a PPB Boxy Backpack and a PPB Weekender. I love PPB bags. They're pricy but totally worth it.

    I have the Skip Hop Duo. I currently use it for my 2 girls (ages 2 and 4) and there's still room for when baby #3 arrives.

    My OiOi Carry All and Hobo bags. My other bags including a Timi and Leslie are just black holes of stuff. The OiOi bags have the perfect amount of pockets and a great easy access layout that make them my go to bags. The Carry All is perfect for 2 in diapers as well. They also last forever.

    I have the Kate Spade Stevie

    I'm not a fan. It was fine when DD was tiny but once I had to put stuff in it, it became a weird heavy duffle bag that constantly falls off my shoulder.

    I just carry a large Longchamp bag and shove her stuff in it. I'm just glad I got the Stevie at the outlet and didn't pay full price for it

    Ditched my coach. I love the PPB boxy. Just got it for the new babe and have it all packed for the hospital. I love it already.

    I also have a Vera Bradley and like that one as well. I like the organization of the PPB though.

    I have a Vera Bradley one.  I like the fact that it can be put in the washing machine. My sisters has used one for years and hers held up well.

    I have a diaper bag obsession. I have used...

    Vera Bradley microfiber black baby bag - nice and roomy for the newborn days.  Easy to clean (plastic lined interior).  
    Vera Bradley Get Carried Away Tote - giant bag! Great for all day outings.  Tons of pockets.  
    Timi & Leslie Charlie II - stylish bag.  Odd packing configurations with it being more tall than wide.  Heavy bag.  
    Petunia Boxy Backpack - not a bad bag but not my favorite.  Didn't love the vertical packing.  Seemed tough to get to things I needed.  
    Petunia Weekender - another giant bag.  Love the pockets/ expandable sides.  I use it now for all day outings and as a carryon when we travel. 
    Kate Spade Stevie - chic bag - love that it looks more purse like than diaper bag like.  Didn't like how floppy it was. 
    Longchamp Le Pilage Large Tote - started using this when DD required less stuff - moreso like a purse with a JuJuBe diaper pouch in it ;)
    JuJuBe Be ZIppered Tote - current bag in rotation (with the Le Pilage). Love the pockets and pattern (First Lady).  Lightweight but is well made.

    Since it hasn't been mentioned yet, I'll add that I love my JuJuBe BFF. I haven't found another bag that opens up like it does and I love that I can see everything inside it. It's not super deep either so I'm not piling stuff on top of other stuff. I do wish it was like an inch or so wider. I looked at the Be Prepared in person and it was just TOO big to carry around. Speaking of, I also like the backpack straps on the BFF. I never thought I'd really use that feature much, but I'm on a trip now and it was really nice to have the option in the airport/other places where you need your hands/arms free.

    I have this bag in black as well. It seems to be popular. I know quite a few moms who have used it through 2 kids, and it has held up nicely. I wish it was slightly more organized, it can be a bit of a black hole. Sometimes I think it is too large and encourages me to carry too much stuff around. That being said, overall I really like it!

    I have the "Preppy" version of this bag, in the Cement color, and I LOVE it. https://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT<>prd_id=845524446571342&amp;site_refer=GGLPRADS001&amp;cagpspn=pla&amp;CAWELAID=500002830002627115&amp;catargetid=500002830003805840&amp;cadevice=t I CD, so needed something roomy, and this is perfect. Also, I will have 2 under 2 very shortly, and I feel I have plenty of room to add baby sisters things. Glad to hear they hold up well, I've had this one for about 6 months and so far so good. Prior to this, I used the Timi and Leslie Dawn tote. Great bag, just a little small for CDing. Perfect for one kiddo in sposies, though!
