Diaper bag likes/dislikes

DS is 13 months and our 1st diaper bag is showing its wear and hasn't worked super well for us. We got the skip hop via messenger bag and it seems it has not really been big enough all along particulary for all day outings and going to the sitter (we often are carrying an additonal bag). I like to keep about 5 diapers, a thing of wipes, an extra change of clothes, a blanket, a bib, a few small toys, a pacifier, sunglasses, hat, baby products (lotions, creams, soaps etc), the changing pad, nursing cover, and his food which right now for a day would be 1 bottle, 1 cup, and 4 containers of some sort of food.

So I think we need something bigger, but I'm not sure I want it to be huge (like for those times we just are out of the house for an hour, but maybe we'll just start using a smaller mini bag or something). I've looked at a few bag, but I'm just not sure which to choose so I thought I'd get some experienced mom's advice on what has worked well. We like that the skip hop attaches to the stroller and I recently saw some fischer price ones that have the wipes easily accessible which seemed like a good idea too.

So what bag are you using? Do you like it or hate it? What do you like about it?

    I have a shoulder bag style PPB. It's a big bag, very durable. Lately I just bring her mini backpack for shorter trips and leave the big bag in the car.

    I like to be prepared like you. I recently switched to a Chicco Tote (Zest) and we like it. I was impressed by the internal and external pockets for organization, the outer insulated pocket for bottles, the adjustable cross body strap that also slips easily over stroller handles and the neutral color. It zips close without a hassle and it doesn't snag or scrape your hand when you reach inside! It feels big enough for my long list of essentials but not big enough for me to over pack. GL on the hunt!

    I have the inside out bag from thirty-one and LOVE it. Holding up way better than my expensive diaper bag I got before DD was born. I fit in it. Changing pad, 4-5 diapers, wipes, butt paste, water cup, sunglasses, taggie blanket, 2 changes of clothes 3-4 toys, Gerber meals, spoons, I'm sure you get it. I want to get another one that is more of a winter pattern.
