Vera Bradley diaper bags

In my never-ending quest for the perfect diaper bag, I am now looking at the VB Vera bag. I've never owned a VB bag but have always heard good things and admired them. We CD so I am over teeny bags. We currently have a big (all-day) bag (Skip Hop Duo Double Deluxe) which I like. I need a mid-size bag to hold things for 3-4 hours out of the house (2-3 dipes, changing pad, wipes, wet bag, a bottle, blanket, some toys). Does anyone have any of the VB bags? If so, do you like it? Thoughts?

    I have one.  It is dark blue microfiber, not a patterned one.  I haven't used it yet... LO due in March, but I love it.  I did stuff things in it and played with it a lot.   It is like a huge purse.

    I had the VB black microfiber one with my DS and loved it!  I've had other VB bags in the past and they're great because they can be tossed into the wash (not the microfiber, just the quilted).

    This is the appeal to me too. And it seems like a nice, versatile (non-diaper bag) bag to own.

    I have a quilted one (lemon parfait design). I'm not due until January, but I used it this summer as a beach bag and liked all the compartments/pockets. I like that it's not too huge. A friend of mine said it will be too small but she has twins so she needs to lug more stuff around. My sister has an 18 month old and said she thinks it will be the perfect size.

    I have a Stephanie bag and it's perfect for short trips.  I can fit my DSLR, two prefolds, wipes, a wet bag, a sippy, a snack cup, two toys, and my wallet and cell phone with plenty of room left over.  There are three interior pockets, the main pocket, and a total of five outside pockets.  I like it because it's not technically a diaper bag and nobody would be the wiser.



    however long the night, dawn will break.

    I use the Vera Tote in Barcelona print as my Diaper bag. LOVE IT so much! It is lined with 6 inside compartments and has 2 ourside compartments as well. The straps are long enough to slide over my stroller handle and it's huge for all of my daughters things.?

    I have the VB diaper bag for every day and I love it! Fits much more than you think it will and is perfect for every day usage. I've used it constantly since my daughter was born and not regretted it once, and it still looks like new!

    I have the VB diaper bag. I love it because it holds everything I need (and I CD so that's a lot of stuff!) but I am not crazy about the over the shoulder strap though. it is constantly sliding off when I am trying to haul a million things at once. PITA. I wish I had a back pack or a messenger style. something more secure. I think back pack would be great esp for when wearing baby in the ergo (I only wear in the front right now). I checked out the VB bookbag - just the regular one. and it fits everything great! it even has the two side pockets that hold bottles just like the diaper bag does. I am asking for one for christmas.  I was at the store and dumped everything I had in the diaper bag into the bookbag and there was even more space left!

    I ordered mine for about 20 dollars cheaper off Amazon - in the folkloric print. I love all my vera bags and I figure ill be carrying it around for years!

    Love mine. On a daily basis, I carry 4 diapers, a travel pack of wipes, diaper baggies, diaper rash cream, baby lotion, antibacterial wipes, changing pad, extra onesie and an extra pair of pants, a cardigan or sweatshirt, bib, 2 burp cloths, a receiving blanket or small cotton blanket, a few toys, and often a sippy cup and snacks for DD nowadays. That even leaves room for me to throw in my keys, wallet, a water bottle and cell phone if I only want to carry one bag.

    There are a couple prints really cheap on the Vera website right now. If you click on the bag, and then click on the tab that sales "Sale Prints" or whatever there are some for as low as $39.99 (including my favorite print actually!). I have been monitoring it for about a month and they add more and change the prices frequently.

    I use vera bradly bags all the time and my DH bought me a cute diaper bag with the little owl print.  Best thing about the diaper bag is that it is WASHABLE! I bought my SIL a diaper bag that she wanted, and her baby is only 5 months old and it is grimy and non-washable! I also like all the pockets on the diaper bag and cannot wait to use it.  They do have some pretty good sales around the holidays, so keep your eyes out for those and you could get it cheaper if you decide to get one.

    I'm thinking about getting the Miller Tote in Sitting in a Tree (pattern).  From the reviews online, it's the perfect size for a diaper bag.  Plus, it can be used as a sleepover bag or activity bag once they get older.
