Petunia Pickle Bottom

I need some advice on diaper bags.  I really want a backpack, not an over the shoulder bag.  I've been using just a regular back pack as a nanny for the past several years, and find it to be so much easier than the over the shoulder type I've used in the past.

My problem is that the backpack diaper bags I have found are so plain!  I think they are meant for dads, so they just make them black or khaki, and that's it.  I'd love something cute, but also something functional.

I've seen the PPB boxy backpacks online, but not in person.  They are cute, but they don't look like they would be super comfortable as a backpack, as they are shaped more like traditional diaper bags.  Has anyone used one as a backpack?  Does anyone have other suggestions as to where to find cute, backpack diaper bags?

Thanks!

    I have it, but I honestly haven't tried it yet... so I'm really of no help.  I would assume, based on the straps, that it may not be the most comfortable thing, especially if it's' really heavy (they look like seatbelt straps).  But I would probably buy some sort of cushion if they hurt me.  I'm not planning on wearing it as a backpack though, unless we're tramping around an amusement park (which I'm not planning on with a newborn/toddler).

    the PPB backpack was my first diaper bag.  I didn't like it and sold it on craigslist to be a JuJuBe BFF which I love and still use today.  I didn't like the PPB because it didn't have a lot of give (it's a pretty stiff bag) and the fabric on the inside (for mine) was black so finding some stuff in there was a pita...it was like digging into a black hole!  

    My JuJuBe BFF is more giving, has a bit more room, the inside is not black and they have insulated pockets for milk (to keep warm or cold)...it's a really nice bag.

    Thanks!  Do you use it as a backpack, and is it comfortable to wear?

    I tried one on in the store. It didn't have anything in it but stuffing, but I walked around with it a couple minutes and it seemed like it would be comfortable.
