I am in desperate need if a new bag. Now that my girls are older I don't carry alot besides snack, drinks, potty cover, wipes, extra panties and pair of pants and a few other things that don't take up alot of room. I would also want to use it for myself when we go out Although I may need to pack more if we go a longer day trip. Do you have a bag you like that you suggest. Thanks!
Re: Recommend the bag you use for your toddler(s)
If we're just going out to run errands, go to the park, whatever, I just use my regular purse. I did get a cross body purse, because it's easier to wear if I'm chasing after DD. It's Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q Natasha. I don't carry a lot of the stuff you have and I only have 1 DD, so you might need something bigger. I only really carry an extra pair of panties and pants for DD plus my stuff. I can fit a snack and drink in there if I need to.
Actually, we went on a trip over the holidays, and I packed my diaper bag for the airport just figuring I would need the extra space for a plane trip, and I was surprised how much room I had left over.
We take the penguin everywhere with us unless I need something a little larger for a longer day then we take the other bag. The penguin is SKIP HOP zoo and the other one is from ThirtyOne (which ironically I got for my 30th bday) and it's a different pattern but my adorable cousin had it personalized to say J's Mom on it lol

I love this bag - pockets everywhere, super comfortable. Holds lots or just a little. I have one pouch for extra clothes, one for snacks, one for sanitary stuff, one for my stuff, I also use the top one for my keys, phone, glasses, and pacifier. It's great because stuff doesn't fall out of it. It keeps toys, iPad and everything - I love it
I also have the organizing utility tote from 31. I love it. I keep it in the car with wipes/diapers/toys/extra clothes/snacks. It stays in the car and I either go to the car for diapers or grab 1 diaper and wipes and put them in my purse.
I love that it has room for toys, they keep her occupied during car trips and are at our fingertips if we need to distract her for some reason.
