Which diaper bag did you choose?

cmjauregui

i am struggling to find a bag that is good quality that will act as my "handbag" for the next 2years.. I prefer something that looks less like a diaper bag and more like a nice handbag or tote . Any suggestions?

I registered for a Skip Hop Duo signature bag. A friend has one and really likes it.

We registered for the Skip Hop Duo as well...we liked this one.

I got this Vera Bradely bag. It has a changing pad that rolls out and is very spacious.

I registered for this one from PB kids. I didn't really expect anyone to buy it because it's expensive, but someone actually has! I was just going to treat myself because I'm obsessed with it. It comes in other colors but I wanted to stay neutral. It comes with the travel changing pad too so that was a plus.

I have a Kate spade stevie but really want a lily jade! 

LauraPCOS

@ibabyloveb87 omg I love that one!!! Can I be noisy and ask how much it is?

ibabyloveb87

@LauraPCOS It's $149. It's been on sale a couple of times though! I'm super duper excited about it

I found a brand new with tags and all accessories Skip Hop Duo in the white and gray Chevron print for $20 on a Facebook yard sale page! First thing I bought when I was just a few weeks pregnant

I don't think $150 is a bad price. When you think about it, this is a bag you're going to carry and use every single day. You want a higher quality item that isn't going to fall apart after a few months. The way I see it, I can spend $150 on one bag that I'll use for 2 years, or $50-$75 on several different bags over the course of the same time. 

LauraPCOS

Ya I don't think $150 is bad either.  The Skip Hop Duo is $80 or something but I have a feeling I'm not getting it (my family is cheap and my parents already bought the big items - my car seat and baby monitor).  I might look into that PB bag!

I got this one ... It was $70. And I got the DH a Columbia Men's "diaper bag" backpack 

MRSCORKER

@sportiegrl1213 I'm thinking about getting H a ''manly" diaper bag. I'll look into that one! Thanks!

I pulled out a faux leather laptop bag/soft-sided briefcase sort of thing and plan to use it.

I got the skiphop chelsea downtown satchel. It is around $100. I have seen it at most major retailers (babies r us, buy buy baby, amazon) Nordstrom even has the grey one on sale right now for their anniversary sale.

@MRSCORKER those were my thoughts as well. I just didn't know if anyone would purchase it for me! 

NicholeL16

We got this one. I really like the look of it for both fiancé and myself. I figure it's neural so we can use it for the next if it holds up. I also think I can forgo the purse when I'm using this bag.

I have this guy and love it:

I got this Kate Spade one (I think the model is Kennedy Park). The regular price is really steep but they go on sale literally all the time. I picked mine up for just under $150. It comes with a changing pad like the Vera one and has tons of pockets. I also wanted something that would double as a purse, and agree that I'd rather pay a little more for something nice that I love!

We originally registered for the skip hop in gray and white chevron as well but we didn't like it as much when we saw it in the store, it was much smaller than I thought it was going to be. We registered for this instead. It's the Bumble bag Amber tote

Sprinkels28

I love this one!https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ju-ju-be-legacy-bff-diaper-bag/3736183?cm_mmc=display_pinterest-_-kenshoo-_-aprilbaby-_-5004_17601&pp=1

My cousin purchased both for us and this is the one for DH @MRSCORKER

@NicholeL16 That's the one I registered for!

My husband registered for a more gender neutral looking one, but it looks like it may have clearanced out because I don't see it on our registry anymore. Bummer. He loved the one he picked. 

LauraPCOS

It's funny I was going to get a diaper backpack thinking hubby would appreciate it more, but he shot it down and wanted a bag that looks like a diaper bag.

I thought about buying a new one for this baby, and was close to getting this Timi & Leslie one, but decided to just stick to the one I used with dd.  I have a Kate Spade Serena bag, (similar to this one) which I actually do really love.  It has a ton of outside pockets, perfect for bottles, bibs, burp rags, etc.  And the inside is super roomy too.  I just carry my own purse separately, but I could've easily fit my wallet, keys, etc in the diaper bag too.

krzyriver

@LauraPCOS I thought mine would want the backpack too, but nope! He wanted a messenger style bag that he can access the wipes from the outside. I can't remember what other features he wanted, but he was weirdly specific about it all. 

freckledlemonade

@suzy311 I love that one!  Did you get it at an outlet or regular store?

I'm getting this same one, but in the plain navy blue. They look really nice!

I ended up using a thirty-one bag with DD, after my original diaper bag wore out. This time, I've registered for an insert that will work in any bag. I also found a weekender bag that I love and think would work well as a diaper bag. 

ibabyloveb87

@ball4768 Oh love that weekender bag! 

suzy311

@sidecarsareforbishes Thanks!! I got it off katespade.com during one of their 50% off sales. I'm on the email list and they send a message when a big sale is coming up (usually every couple months).

ETA: a word

freckledlemonade

@suzy311 Thanks for the tip, I'll have to sign up!

missmaehurt

This is the one I registered for at Target. I thought it was cute and I figured I'd be hauling it everywhere so I wanted something that would double as a purse as well. 

samkins

I registered for the skip hop Chelsea bag and recently found a nice Kate Spade nylon bag at Nordstrom rack that is super cute (black with white polka dots).

Omg mine wanted the wipes access too and I told him no because guess who will be responsible for refilling it and most likely the wipes in those pockets are going to go dry quickly.  I got a little wipes clutch that we'll attach to the bag he can use.  He really wanted the Winnie the Pooh one but it was so small.

Kaessi

I specifically wanted a backpack type one & did a bit of research. Finally ordered this Skip Hop one:
But y'all's are so cute I kind of want to keep shopping!

samkins

Oh yea, I registered for a backpack one for the hubby, oberoo or something like that. Hubby insists on a Backpack 

blaf322

We registered for two... Same as @nicholel16 for the more purse looking one and the Columbia backpack @sportiegrl1213 posted about for DH and shorter trips. @mrscorker... I really liked the backpack for DH. I'd recommend checking it out 

Also... Is it bad that I want to buy another one just because I love all these cute ones I'm seeing here? DH says I have a bag problem lol... He's right 

nlane0723

I want a Lily Jade. FB has a great B/S/T group for designer bags. It's how I accumulated 4 for DD. All in EUC because these ladies buy 

SpaceBurger

Jujube bff! It can be an over the shoulder or backpack.  Also, there's a ton of helpful videos on how to pack that specific bag wooo.

@ibabyloveb87   I just received my PBK diaper bag yesterday! I've already packed it
