Best diaper bag ever...

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.

    I have the PPB too and hate it. I bought it because of the backpack feature, but its impossible to stay organized and I felt I had to take everything out of my bag each time I needed something. It's poorly organized. I ended up with a Lululemon (gym) bag although it looks nothing like a typical gym bag. It's the bestest! Here are some of their current bags. Not sure if these are clicky as I'm working off an ipad. https://shop.lululemon.com/products/clothes-accessories/women-bags/Work-It-Out-Duffel?cc=11272&skuId=3507462&catId=women-bags https://shop.lululemon.com/products/clothes-accessories/women-bags/Happy-Hatha-Hour-Bag?cc=0831&skuId=3506725&catId=women-bags https://shop.lululemon.com/products/clothes-accessories/women-bags/Back-To-Class-Backpack?cc=11591&skuId=3506503&catId=women-bags

    I love the ju ju be BFF!!! It's a back pack, a shoulder bag. I am using CD also, and had no issues with space for clean and for wet bag.

    Oh thank you @Bocatini!!  I think it's what I'm going to go with so hearing someone who CD's and loves it is excellent!!

    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.
