Looking for your opinions! I will need it primarily for 1 baby (and it will be holding cloth diapers which are a bit more bulky) with an extra cloth diaper or two for my 2 year old, in addition to all the regular diaper bag requirements! I like spacious. Go. (I have a JuJuBe Be Prepared and I love it. But is there something fantastic that I am missing out on out there? Or do already own what will suit my need?).
I got the PPB Boxty bag. I haven't tried it yet, because LO isn't here yet, but I know that with my 2-year-old, I'm going to need my hands free! I plan to do lots of wearing baby on my front, backpack on my back, and 2 hands free for toddler.
There is also a bigger Boxty bag, but the regular one seems huge to me. But we don't CD, so maybe you would want the bigger one. Currently with my 2 year old, I don't even carry a diaper bag; I just keep some diapers in the car, and snacks and toys in my purse.

I have a Skip Hop Duo Essentials and am a CD'ing mom for two kids. I can fit 6 diapers, wet bag, sippy cups, diaper supplies and food in my bag with no problem. It is amazing what I can fit in this medium sized bag.
I got mine at Burlington Coat Factory for $35 two weeks ago.
My latest diaper bag is the PPB Boxy and I'm not impressed. I do like that you can wear it like a backpack, but I don't think you can fit too much in there and the opening is not very wide so I feel like I'm digging in the dark to find things.

You definitely want something with lots of pockets/compartments so it's easy to find what you need. I will never forget our first diaper change in restaurant restroom - I was so nervous and it helped to know exactly where everything was that I needed. Eventually, you'll end up just dumping things in there but in those early months, organization was key for me. Oh, and something wipeable.
I used the Skip Hop Via Messenger but it may not be wide enough for storing cloth diapering essentials.
