Now that DD doesn't have mid-day bottles anymore, and she eats pretty much everything, and no longer really needs changes of clothes, burp clothes, binkies, etc, I'm feeling like even our small diaper bag is overkill when we're out and about, so I think I'd like to downsize.
Does anyone have one of those mini diaper bags that just holds a couple of diapers, travel wipes, and a changing pad? Which one? JJ Cole makes a pod that looks cute, and Skip Hop's seems to be pretty popular, so I guess I'm just looking for reviews from you guys, or ideas what you use. Thanks!
Also, confession time - I barely ever bother to use the changing pads that I have, so I'm not really concerned about the changing pad part, I just want a small kit-style bag to hold some diapers and wipes.
Re: Do you have a mini diaper/wipe bag for quick trips?

I just use my purse. I only carry a sippy cup and hand wipes.
I also keep one diaper and a little case of wipes in the car.

I have a Lands End Little Tripper, love it! Here is a link (sorry not clicky). It is on sale too!

T&H - that's the JJ Cole one I was looking at - not the whole set, just the diaper and wipe thing. I'm glad to hear you like it. I'm leaning toward that one because I'm not sure I like how some of the others fold out into a changing pad. I like that this one has a separate changing pad (so I can leave it at home if I want to).
Stacie - I would just use my purse, but I change bags so often, and some of my bags are really small, so I would rather have a dedicated diaper/wipe thing. Of course, some of my bags are so big that I could probably just throw the diaper thing right in there, too.
I love this bag! It's not much smaller than what I currently have, though, so it's not really what I'm looking for now. I wish I had seen this when we were picking out diaper bags in the first place, though!
Yes, we have this one:

And we have always used it much more than our actual diaper bag, since birth. It's easier to toss in the stroller and holds everything we need for diaper changes-- wipes, diapers, hand sanitizer, diaper cream-- and it folds out if you need a surface and has a spot for stinky diapers. We only take the big bag on big trips, like whole day outings or overnight trips.
But, if you just want something told hold a couple diapers and wipes, you could just get regular a toiletry kit or something. Maybe Clinique or another make-up counter will have a good one as a free gift soon?
Oooh, I like this one too! But you make a good point about those little cosmetic bags - I have a couple of those freebie ones at home - I wonder if any of them are big enough to hold my little wipes case . . .
At that point with Kai I just started using a purse again. I loved it.
Now with a potty trained (but you never know) toddler and Halle I find the diaper bag is still packed full. I cannot wait to get back to purses one day!
