Diaper Bag? (warning- might be a dumb question)

katiebenes

Okay, so do I need two diaper bags? or a super big diaper bag?

Or... do we use a backpack?

I'm going to start my registry soon and all the bags seemed so small.

I use a Vera Bradley Miller tote, and love it. It is spacious, and has plenty of interior pockets. A lot of ladies here recommend the Skip Hop bags, and I have seen a few rec's for Petunia Pickle Bottom Boxy Backpacks too. GL! Enjoy shopping!

I have the twin skip hop duo for a big day out and a smaller trendier one for little trips to target.

We got a big diaper bag from target and it works just fine.

I have a Ju Ju Be Prepared and I love it.  I CD though so if I am going to be out for a long period of time I pack a 31 drawstring bag with all the diapers and supplies since I can only fit about 4 diapers (2 sets of changes) in the Ju Ju Be

We had the petunia pickle bottom. Is a bag OR a backpack which was nice. I liked it...

We may just go with a backpack since we will have 4 kids. My oldest I try to pack a change of clothes in case of an accident but with my son (who still isnt potty trained) I'll need diapers for him and the twins along with an outfit change for each. The only large diaper bag I have is a Coach one but it has one big open spot and I prefer it to be sectioned to keep things in order.

I have a Coach diaper bag and there's enough room, if we are going out all day I sometimes take a smaller bag from 31.  My advice is get a cute diaper bag that you love because you won't get to carry cute purses for a LONG time.

Not a dumb question. We have the fisher price diaper bag because it's kind of like a duffle bag plus baby accessories. I'd definitely get something bigger. Twice as many diapers, extra sets of clothing, and bottles take up twice the amount of space.

We have the skip hop double duo.It is OK.I am not in love with it and I guess I do not pack well, since I do not think it fits so much.

I am on the lookout for a nicer bag-since I will be carrying it for a while.

I use a back pack that someone gave me at my shower.  I am so thankful for it.  I can wear it while using my hands for important baby holding things.  Seriously, the backpack has been awesome.

This....now that they are older we mainly use the Skip Hop Duo Deluxe for overnight trips to the grandparents...but in the early days, it was my go to diaper bag because it could hold SO.MUCH!

I have a skip hop duo and I would have preferred a back pack type, but it does clip to the stroller so that is helpful. I keep 6 diapers, 2 changes, and 2 4oz btl with formula for emergency.

Its okay, I am not a  big purse lover so these bags were like foreign territory to me

the skip hop duo is great for longer days and if you have a side by side stroller this will fit across. It is really meant for 2 kids and had spots for each persons diapers, clothing, everything you can think of, but it is huge and not something I liked to throw on my shoulder 

for every day around town  I have had about 6 diaper bags. The messenger type was a pain especially if it just had a flap close....everything got overstuffed or fell out. Coach diaper bag was nice but bulky and was like carrying a ton of bricks after all the diapers, clothing, wipes, bottles, and everything. The thing was heavy empty. Backpack works for days when you do a ton of walking but if need something quick its a huge pain to get stuff. 

My favorite right now is skip hop versa for every day use. You has plenty of pockets and compartments for everything for 2 kids without being too heavy, huge, or  feel like I can't find anything. I like that it also looks and works like a purse!
