Ditching the diaper bag?

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months
I'd like to ditch the diaper bag and just use my purse for running around. I am tired of carrying two bags and my diaper bag is huge. Anyone have an ah goo diaper pouch? There are no reviews. I am thinking of sticking a couple of diapers in there plus a wipes case. Anyone else just use a purse? What do you keep in there? Thanks!

    I tried this and came to realize that I really do use a lot of my stuff in the diaper bag. I hated carrying around two bags though so I now use the Babymel Amanda (black & white floral) diaper bag and just put some of my personal items (small wallet, cell phone, keys, few make-up items) in the front pockets. I found that I use less stuff than my baby does. I missed having a place for DD's bottles/sippy cup, snacks, emergency outfit, etc.

    It's pricey but JuJuBe has a decent purse/diaper bag option called the Behave.

    I keep the diaper bag in the car and just put whatever I might need in my purse. I usually just pack a diaper, wipes, sippy and a little baggy of snacks in my purse and away we go. Lol.

    I did the opposite and ditched my purse. Now I just carry and all in one wristlet by Vera Bradley, and stick that in the diaper bag (which looks like a purse). Then again, I don't need a lot of stuff for me (i don't carry makeup or lotion for example), so it might not work for every girl ;)

    Same here. I just throw my wallet in the diaper bag. I have been considering getting a bigger purse and using it, but probably not until DS is one so i don't have to worry about bottles.

    I ditched it.  I just throw what I need in my purse most of the time now.  For him I bring: diapers, wipes, bottle, snack.

    I use this clutch and throw it into my regular purse.  It's large enough for three diapers, wipes case, a couple squeeze food pouches, a couple Bibsters, and small snacks YET fits in just about any purse I carry.  Throw in a leakproof cup and I'm good for a few hour trip!

    I have a skip hop bag and it is my purse and diaper bag.  If I am running to the store I just load it up with whatever I am going to need.  Long day trip we bring the diaper bag.  I just found I do not need to carry all that stuff to go to target.
