So I am going nuts looking for a diaper bag that doesn't look like a diaper bag!
What are some of your favorites? I am not to concerned about price, but I also don't want to spend a crazy amount. With my first, I got a typical diaper bag that I used for all of a month & then switched over to some Puma bag I had....it was easier.
Re: Diaper Bags.
I got a Coach diaper bag from the outlet, I think after the outlet price, and 30% off they offered that day, it was only like $100. Not too bad, and its a bag that I can & will definitely use for work after its life as a diaper bag ends. It looks like this one, but mine was gray & white leather, with a pink stripe. Its a good size.

I got this one yesterday. I have looked EVERYWHERE for a diaper bag. It can be a cross body bag or a backpack. It does not scream diaper bag and my husband does not mind carrying it. I cannot wait to use it!

I really like it, cause I like that it looks like a purse and will definitely have an afterlife. It has a big zipper across the top and 1 slim outside pocket (but that doesn't hold much). The inside has several smaller pockets, and it comes with a changing pad. I've always found it to suffice holding all the 'on the go' baby essentials for even a long day away. I double it as my purse too so its the only thing I carry. I'm not the type who carries every possible item with me though, purse or baby-wise.
It is somewhat heavy leather, as a PP mentioned. Kate Spade outlet also has very cute bags, and I think hers are usually fabric which is maybe a little lighter than the leather. However, I like that leather is super durable.
This is what we are planning on doing too! I have a horrible shoulder and the thought of carrying a loaded diaper bag makes me want to cry. A backpack is something simple and probably bigger than a diaper bag and like PP said.. my DH won't mind carrying it!
