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. ![]()

I have the Skip Hop Duo Double. In solid black. Sucker is roomy and I still manage to stuff it full to the brim.

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!
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.
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..
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.
this is the one that we have and love (it's a backpack):

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.
