Lets talk Diaper bags

Have you looked yet?  What are getting and why? 

I have a Fleurville Mothership I used with DD, along with a smaller version of it as well.  Now, they are both girly and if LO is a boy, I kinda want to get a new one (yes I know, I'M the one carrying it so color REALLY shouldn't matter, but still, who doesn't like a new bag?).  I did however LOVE them, especially since they had plenty of room for all the bulky CD's we used.  However, it appears Fleurville no longer makes these.  Soooo... I'm looking for new inspiration!

Re: Lets talk Diaper bags

  • I really wanted a Petunia Pickle Bottom one, but it's kind of small and I'm thinking, as a FTM anyway, that I'm going to feel the need to over pack!

    So I've looked into other bags and I found this one. It's stylish, big, and got great reviews on all the sites I looked.

    It's JJ Cole (Canvas Satchel Diaper Bag) and it's half the price of a Petunia bag.

  • I have a coach one and a thinner skip hop one. I prefer the smaller one, but the coach is bigger for the 100 bibs and change of clothes I'll need. Plus, the 5 swaddling blankets.

    I have this one and LOVE it. It's big enough and it opens well wide so you can search for things at the bottom or when you forget where you put it.

  • I think I want the Marc by Marc Jacobs Eliz-A-Diaper Bag in black.
    I like it because it doesn't look like a diaper bag, but more like a large tote.

    I really like the looks of the Diaper Dude bag.  I want something neutral, not only so I can reuse through potential multiple kids of possible different genders, but also because I want DH to carry it without thinking it's "girly".

  • We have a black one from Le Sportsac (I think it was called the Ryan?).  It was under $100, is totally gender neutral so MH is happy to carry it, carries a TON of stuff (or looks sleek if you don't pack it too full), and it's machine washable.  It's basically the greatest thing ever.

  • I want this coach bag. I like that its messenger and my husband would be okay carrying it.

  • I have this Vera Bradly convertible bag. LOVE it. I have everything I need for DS in it and there's still room to spare. I also like that I can convert it from cross body to a back pack.

  • I love my Coach diaper bag, looks like a nice large purse. It can get heavy, but it's awesome when we travel.   This time around I'm going to buy a smaller bag too, for when we are just running out to the store, or to my in laws house.  Not sure what kind yet, waiting to see if we are having a girl or boy!

  • I have limited diaper bag experience because I rarely carried one with my first.  With that said, I will NEVER buy a satchel/tote diaper bag.  As a mom, you are already juggling 100 things, no one has a third hand to carry a bag too.  If I get one this go around it will be a messenger bag or a backpack!

    I have the Skiphop Studio bag that I adored, but now I'm using our messenger style Diaper Dude. The messenger bag stays put so much better with everything else I have to carry, DS, my work bag, keys, etc. My Skiphop bag is cuter but can slide off my shoulder. It now just sits on the floor.
  • I wanted to get a coach one but we only have an outlet store where I am at and they have none in stock to look at. I just have a couple questions for who ever has one. Does it have a zipper and is it one big compartment or does it have some pouches?

    For me, I learned it needs some sort of shoulder strap for sure!

  • I'm getting the Vera Bradley messnger style diaper bag in Heather. 

    My bag with DD has straps and I hate them. I have tried many different lengths and they just dig into my shoulder or fall down my arm.
