I still haven't found one I like! I want it gender neutral and such that DH doesn't feel silly carrying it. I have looked at Target and BRU but found nothing I'm in love with. What bag did you get? What store/website did you shop at?
I love mine bc I did not want something all girly. I have hand me down ones that are girly that I will keep in the cars with spare stuff but this is the one we got and I really like it.
We have both the JJ Cole Mode "Cocoa Tree" bag (brown/green/white) for me and the grey and orange Columbia backpack for DH. I like the size of both and neither are too "froo-froo"...although DH insisted that he still neede dhis own bag!
I got one from Petunia Picklebottom that is black, I figured it could double as my purse. DH has one he got from work that is boring so he can use it. He doesn't really care though, he'll use whichever one has the supplies in it when the time comes!
I was lucky to get the juicy couture bag in black as a gift from FI. For some strange reason he doesn't care that it's girly and doesn't want his own. He says it's his daughters bag, with things for her in it.
For DS, hubby used a shooter's bag. The ammo pockets on the outside are perfect for bottles. (I just used a small insulated lunch bag when we needed to keep something cold.)
This time around, I bought a Tommy Hilfiger tote/large purse. We'll just keep both of them stocked. (I BF, and we don't use pacifiers, so really we just carry diapers, wipes, formula/bottle for emergencies, a light blanket and a change of clothes.)
Have you thought about going to a specialty store/boutique that sells baby stuff? I ended up getting two diaper bags--one at Target (Eddie Bauer--silver--for DH) and one at BRU (plain black Amy Coe--for me) but neither are especially fabulous. Just the other day I went to a boutique in my town and there were soooo many cute bags that were unique and I so wished that I didn't already have those two from BRU and Target.
Re: let's chat diaper bags!
we agreed on this one.
