I have a few in mind that I'm looking at, but I wanted to balance out the price/cost and how long I'll carry it. I hate to spend a lot of $$ on something that I'll really only carry for a year or less, but of course that's the one I like the most. I found another one that's half the cost, and while I like it, it doesn't make me swoon, if you know what I mean, lol.
When did you switch to something smaller or just throw a changing kit into a handbag?
my daughters 1 and we still carry the huge diaper bag. it doesn't have formula, bottles or baby food anymore. but now it has toys and entertainment! i swear it will never shrink!
I don't carry a big diaper bag. I did for a little while with my first, but I couldn't stand it anymore. Now with my second I was wise and started out with a small bag. Enough for a few diapers, wipes, a new outfit, and a bottle.

I still use a huge diaper bag. I also have a basket I keep in the car with toys, books, extra clothes, diapers, etc.
I just upgraded to a backpack type diaper bag for some outings. I tried a few times to just use a smaller handbag and every time I wished I had something that didn't fit in it so I'd rather just carry the big one.
I never carry a huge bag. I always figure if things get that bad, I can just go home. I have a small backpack that fits a sippy cup, diaper and wipes, and a few toys. Good enough!
I never did. I bought a small messenger bag and use it as my purse and diaper bag. I carry around 2-3 diapers, wipes, a change of clothes, a washcloth, and diaper rash cream. I've always been a minimalist though.
I bought a few nice big bags for myself and I use those as diaper bags. I still need to take along diapers, wipes, snacks, bib, sippy cup and a few toys. So I usually just throw my wallet and phone in the big bag as opposed to trying to stuff baby things in my own smaller purse.
