What do you do for a diaper bag?

I've been using a large purse for months, but know I'll need to do something else when #2 arrives. Any rec.s? Thanks.

What is your budget?

I'd like to spend about $50, but could probably swing/justify up to $100.

After DS2, I got a Timbuk2 bag.  I designed my own cargo tote ($80) and I LOVE the bag.  It doesn't have a ton of pockets but it does have a ton of room for extra diapers, changes of clothes, toys, etc.  My requirements were: size, zipper top, over the shoulder AND handheld straps.  I have been very happy with it.

A good friend has the Vera Bradley bag and loves it.  It's in the $100 price range, is pretty large, the bag itself is light, and you can throw it in the washing machine.  However, you need to like VB's style/patterns, since there's not an option for a plain bag. 

I have a Petunia Picklebottom Boxy Backpack and think it will work for both kids, but I don't know for sure.  I love it, but it is a little more expensive.

I tend to change out bags about as often as once a season.  I love Vera Bradley bags.  Most styles make great diaper bags.  With my kids being 21 months apart I don't really need to carry too much for the older one.  Right now though I am using a bag I got at BRU on clearance and it's wonderful.  It's large enough to get me through going from 2 to 3 too.  I can't remember the name of it but I think it's by J Cole.

Actually... I just carry a small bag for Kai.  3 diapers, wipes, a burp cloth and gas drops.  I haven't carried one around for Rylee in months.

I loved my backpack diaper bag.  I got it when I was pregnant with #2.  It is by One Step Ahead.  I still use it when we travel but I am passed needing one everyday.

I just use my purse. I don't need to carry much. C takes her own sippy and snack trap. I have a bottle, diapers and wipes in my purse. I keep a bag of extras in the car. I can't be bothered with a big bag.

 I had the Vera Bradley and I hate that thing with a passion. Did not finction worth a damn for me with one kid.

Hmmm - I hadn't thought about this.  I'm pretty barebones in what I carry for #1 (2 diapers, wipes, sippy) so I'll just keep using my Columbia diaper bag...which I really liked when G was little.

I have this bag and love it.  It's roomy with tons of compartments to keep you organized.

I am still using my Columbia messenger-style diaper bag we got with #1 for BRU. ?I love that thing. ?I just made up a small duffel bag to keep in the car that has extra diapers, change of clothes, extra snacks, sunscreen, etc so that I don't have to lug all of that stuff around in my bag. ?My bag just hold a couple of diapers for each, wipes, some snacks for #1, a couple of small toys, and a sippy and a spare bottle.

I have 7 diaper bags, but most of them are out of your price range.........

You should look into Skip Hop though - they make nice looking diaper bags for under $100. I have a Dash that DH likes to use because it looks like a messenger bag.

GL!

I got an awesome Timi&Leslie bag.  Has lots of room, a spot for two bottles (or a bottle and sippy cup in my case), etc.  It's not even 1/2 way filled up right now with DD's stuff.  I love it!
