Diaper bag for 2 kiddos

I have the Skip Hop Dash Messenger bag and this thing is like another appendage to me.  I take it everywhere!  But its getting kind of ratty looking and I think I would like something different for 2 kids.  (Plus my mom is hounding me to let her buy me a new one!)

Jacob needs a spot for diapers/pullups/undies (whatever he's doing then), and a snack/sippy.  New baby will need a spot for all the little baby things (diapers, wipes, bottles, etc.).

What do you have that you love?

FWIW - I'm not really into the super patterned (read: Vera Bradley or Petunia Pickle Bottom) bags.  My current bag is solid red.  But if there's a bag you love, I'm sure I can get it in a pattern that will make me happy.  :)

Re: Diaper bag for 2 kiddos

  • Skip hop makes a double duo, that fits on double strollers, though I think the only non-pattern it comes in is plain black. I got a similarly huge bag from JJCole (the technique) for the twins.

    ours said not to put on single strollers (? not sure why), but we do and it's just fine.

    I have this one too and I really like it! It's roomy without looking HUGE and I have a plain Charcoal Grey/Black one with red trim

  • I think you should get a new bag that is similar to what you have now...or just replace what you have now with the same one.  I found I didn't need a bigger bag when I had two instead of one.  Jacob will only need a couple of things in the bag so you will likely be fine with a regular diaper bag.

    I had the LUG diaper bag and it was great.  Comes in black, blue, brown, green, pink!image

  • I'm not a fan of "diaper" bags.

    I just found a regular bag that I liked (black with big silver hooks/accents) that had lots of pockets and easy access to a few things (keys) in the outside pockets for when I was holding one or both kids.

     

    Our IF journey: 1 m/c, 1 IVF with only 3 eggs retrieved yielding Dylan and a lost twin, 1 shocker unmedicated BFP resulting in Jace, 3 more unmedicated pregnancies ending in more losses.
    Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.
  • LOVE my Timi & Leslie diaper bag.  I have the Charlie II and it's HUGE.  I didn't think so when I first got it, but then I transfered the stuff from my old bag into my new bag. . . and it only filled up, like, 1/3 of the space! 

    Now, the bag itself is a bit heavy so if I'm really hauling a lot I make sure I have a stroller or shopping cart to hang it on.  But still - love.  It's my purse, briefcase, and diaper bag all in one - I even carry it to work every day :)

  • I hate real diaper bags. I orginally got some huge Vera b bag when I had j and it was just too big.. I then just used my Tory burch bag as a diaper bag until I found something better and it's just a big purse.. I just saw at Nordstroms the storksac diaper bags which are cute/fashinable but I am hoping for the Michael Kores bag that is water proof.. They also have a cute messages bag that's an actu

    Al diaper bag.. 

  • Embarrassed I'm still using the same one I've had since Nicholas was born with his initials on it.   My sister said I should get a new bag and I said "Why? this one is fine".  To which she responded "But it has Nicky's initials on it".   I said "So? He doesn't know that."

    She said she'd get me a new one for Ava.  I'm still waiting.   I won't buy myself a new one, cause I think the one I have already is fine.

  • I have the ju ju be be all, and it is the same one i got for just DS.  I was going to buy a Ju ju be Be prepared, but found I didn't really need that much extra room.  

    They have patterns, but also plain - I have the plain black one since DH carries it too.
