I didn't get a VB diaper bag, but the Miller instead. I just got it yesterday so I can't really speak for it's usefulness yet. The regular diaper bags seemed to be the same size as my Carter's bag, which was way too small.
I have a Miller and a bowler diaper bag. I like both of them, and they are plenty big for me, and I pack them to the top with diapers. But I think th regular vb diaper bag is smaller than my bowler.
However, I am actually carrying a smaller bag that I recieved as a gift instead of either of these, bc I don't like carrying around 2 babies, shopping bags, purses etc, and a huge diaper bag. JMO.
I have the vera bradley pleated tote that I've been using for the past year as my diaper bag...love it...the side pockets are perfect for bottles/sippies...altho I did use a regular standard diaper bag their first year...but I really liked the vera bradley better....
I don't know if they've changed the size/style of their actual diaper bag since my kids were born, but I didn't like mine. Well, I liked it, but it was nowhere near big enough. I felt like it was stuffed so full every time we went out (and I really didn't bring a ridiculous amount of stuff for two babies), that it was a huge bulk under my arm, and the straps were always falling off because there was too much stuff for them to stay together easily. I think I lasted 3 weeks with it before I went out and bought a bigger messenger style bag.
Personally, I like a diaper bag with a vinyl or plastic-y bottom. You will end up putting your diaper bag on the floor of lots of places (including restaurants and bathrooms sometimes) and the fabric of the VB will absorb all kinds of yuckiness.
