Diaper Bag Recs (if not here, where should I post?)

2be1hotbride3

Looking for diaper bag recs. I want trendy but practical. There must be some right? W/my daughter I was stuck on this stupid Juicy Couture Diaper bag that was a total waste of money. It was cute but not very practical. I ended up using a cheap one that was given as a gift to me.

Not sure where to start looking. Been out of the baby loop for a few year. 

And if I should post this somewhere else, please feel free to let me know.

I've been looking up diaper bags myself. With DS I used a bulky, eddie baure bag. It was nice.. but too big. Lately I've been just using a regular back pack. So I did some research on diaper bag back packs and found this... it looks neat..

You might get more answers on the Babies 0-3, 3-6 etc. boards.

I just got two new bags for baby number three and love them both.  The first is a Vera Bradley Baby bag and it is smaller but has a lot of pockets inside.  It was only $39.99 on sale.  The second is the Wistful Weekender bag by Petunia Picklebottom.  It is huge but will be perfect for going out with three kids.  We also have a skip hop bag from baby number one that has held up really well so I would really recommend them too.

A friend of mine with DS ages 2 and 4 has used the same Eddie Bauer backpack with both boys. After discussing the durability and usefulness with her and DH I have registered for the same model.

I have the Coach Diaper bag and love it.  Lots of room and perfect for my DS.  I plan to use for the next baby as well.

I'm looking for a backpack style this time around (since I'll have 2u2) and I finally found a cute one and I could kick myself for logging on to babysteals.com late and them being on sale and SOLD OUT!

It's The Bumble Collection....Chloe Convertible

AND it's water resistant.  After washing my current diaper bag twice from spills, it got a bit faded.

This is the one I registered for. I got it and I love it so far but I haven't used it so can't give much of a rec.

We have this Skip Hop one: https://www.amazon.com/Skip-Hop-Dash-Deluxe-Diaper/dp/B001MT0WG0/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1315592820&sr=8-11 and LOVE it.  You can wash it in the washing machine, the closures are magnets so you don't have to worry about loud velcro waking up baby or being loud if you're in a quiet meeting or something of that sort.  Skip Hop bags are one of the top rated bags in Baby Bargains.  I highly, highly recommend them.

Here's a link to their bags on their website: https://www.skiphop.com/category/diaperbags.html

FWIW we got ours at BRU and used a 20% off one baby item to get it.  We're planning on doing that again with DD#2.  GL & HTH!

Storksak. They are nicer than just what you'd find at a generic store, well made, have insulated pockets, look like regular purses, but not crazy expensive. I have the Olivia, but they have a ton of cute styles. (the leather bags are a bit spendier, but they have different, less expensive fabrics too).

A friend of mine has a Timi & Leslie "charlie" bag and I really like it-- looks high end and not at all like a diaper bag. It's a bit on the large side though.

I don't have any suggestions!  I'm just lurking and reading the responses because I am looking for ideas, too.  I did find the "Nurseries and Baby Gear" board  - you might be able to find more ideas there, too.

I have a Ju Ju Be diaper bag and absolutely love it.  It is made out of teflon, so it doesn't get any stains or spills that soak into the material.  And, even if it did, the entire thing is machine washable, so you can throw it in the washer.  It has two insulated bottle/sippy cup holders that keep drinks warm/cold for 3 hours, a "mommy" pocket in the front for your things (keys, cell phone, etc), a soft lined camera pocket, light interior so you're not looking into a "black hole" to find something, a memory foam changing pad some styles can be worn on the shoulder or as a backpack (I have the BFF which is like this and I love it).  They've got tons of colors/patterns.  I had a Dooney & Bourke diaper bag before this, and while it was very stylish, it was not practical at all.  The Ju Ju Be bag I have is amazing.  A lot of people ask where I got it when I'm out.  This is the one I have:

Oh yeah, pretty sure I originally wanted a Ju Ju Be diaper bag but at the time we didn't have the $ for it so we went with Skip Hop.  If you can afford a Ju Ju Be I'd go with them.

I had a diaper dude and loved it (just looked like a cute messenger bag and was easy to carry).  I was bad and for my birthday a sprung and got a coach diaper bag at the coach outlet.  I love that too :-)
