I have been carrying the same diaper bag for 3.5 years now, and it is getting a little worn. Baby #3 is due in another 2 months, so we will be getting plenty of use out of another one.
Anyone have any good recommendations? Is it worth it to buy the >$100 diaper bags? Are they really that much better than the $30 bags?
Re: diaper bag recommendations?
I had no idea you were pregnant! Congrats:)
I do not have this diaper bag but a friend has it and I really want it but kind of dont want to buy one since we done with 2. Anyway, its called a Timi & Leslie 2 in 1 backpack. Its a regular bag but converts to a backpack and it comes with straps for the stroller too. They come in super cute patterns and its under $100. I thought it was really cool! I have a Skip Hop Duo Deluxe and I like it but I have always wanted a backpack diaper bag just never found one I really liked until I saw this one.
My husband got me a Petunia Pickle Bottom boxy backpack (I never would've spent that much $$ on myself) and I love, love, loved it. We still use it as an overnight bag when she goes to Grandma's.
You can wear it as a messenger or a backpack. The diaper changing is velcro'd in so it's easy to take it out completely if you want or just unroll it onto the changing table while it's still connected. Has large outside pockets for odds and ends. A clip for your keys so they don't fall to the bottom. And just generally a great bag.
I have 8 diaper bags. My top 3 are:
- Mia Bossi Maria
- Timi & Leslie Ruby Patent
- Storksak Emily
I am not a "backpack" type of girl at all. I'm a shoe and bag girl, so "messenger" fits me better. If I need a more casual bag, I have a Skip Hop Duo that I use.
I also have a Caden Lane bowler, Born Out of Necessity leather diaper bag, Fleurville Mothership and another Skip Hop.
I also like the Nest diaper bags, but they came out after I had L...........
All of my diaper bags have been over $100 with the exception of the Skip Hop bags.
GL in your search!
I have two that I use now-a black Storksak and a brown leather Mia Bossi (not sure of the styles). I like bags that don't really look like diaper bags and I do not like back packs at all. I did have a Skip Hop, but the zipper broke off after a couple months.
Thanks! The baby is due at the end of November, and we are really excited.
I am going to have to check out all of these bags on the internet. lol...and somehow I knew you had 8 diaper bags Harriet
I love how you do this whole mom thing.
I have tons of diaper bags too.
My favorites are my Fleurville and my Skip Hops (I have 3 different styles). I have two Kate Spades that are cute, but not very functional, two small Carter's bags that are fine now that I just need a few diapers, and a couple other random bags I rarely use.
My must have features are the stroller straps and lots of pockets.
I agree with the lots of pockets, but you don't need stroller straps. There are so many "after-market" clips for strollers that you can hang any bag from a stroller........
I love the vera bradley diaper bags, but recently wanted a backpack diaper bag and love the Mrs. Smiths. It has a "built in lunchbox" on the bottom.
