STM+ Diaper bag

AEL1107 · November 2013

For the mamas that are having #2 or more, what diaper bag do you plan on getting? My DS will be 2 1/2 when his little sister arrives and will probably be potty training, I'm trying to find one that will hold all the newborn essentials as well as a couple things he will need. I apologize if this has been asked before. I can't search on my phone. Thanks

I got the Petunia Picklebottom satchel. I'm not using it for 2 yet, but it seems plenty big. The only thing I'm anticipating is me packing it too full and making it heavy!

I have a Vera Bradley that I think will work for quick trips for both but also have a Ju Ju Be Be Prepared. We cloth and more than likely DS will not be potty trained for a while after LO gets here. I use it now as my swim bag. There are so many pockets. I love this thing!

I got this with DD and it is still in GREAT shape and has plenty of room for two kids stuff!

That's actually the one I currently have!

I got the Petunia Picklebottom Weekender bag, and it's huge! Plenty big for 2.

I had a HUGE bag for baby #1 (this one) and it ended up getting annoying because it was really too big for everyday. I had a few different bags for baby #2, but never found a really great one. I tried a Vera Bradley bag, it's an older style now, I'm not sure if they still sell it anywhere but the outlet - my Mom got me one from OiOi, but it was nowhere near big enough and seemed to fill up super fast. I had a messenger style bag from Serena & Lily which I do still love but only if we're going somewhere like the zoo where I don't need a ton of stuff and want my hands free.

This time around I bought myself a Petunia PickleBottom Sashay Satchel and I have high hopes for it! They do an outlet sale a couple of times a year so I was able to get it at a great price. I think it will be perfect for all the newborn stuff you need, plus a few extras for my big kids and my own stuff of course

I just bought the Petunia Picklebottom abundance boxy backpack (so the bigger size). I'm hoping DD will be potty trained before this baby comes, but we CD so I needed to make sure I had room for all the newborn stuff plus CDs and whatever DD might still need. I didn't like our diaper bag with DD and stopped using it within a few months, but the little backpack we have won't cut it with 2.

I've got this one - https://m.target.com/p/skip-hop-duo-essential-diaper-bag-french-stripe-limited-edition/-/A-14509174?ref=tgt_adv_XSG10001&AFID=Google_PLA_df&LNM=|14509174&CPNG=Baby&kpid=14509174&LID=PA&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=14509174&gclid=CM6jiYyX5LoCFSEV7Aod0lMAeQ

I didn't carry a diaper bag for my daughter after 1, so I don't know how it will fit 2 kids.

I got a coach book bag and matching walket. Ill use that.

I have the petunia pickle bottom satchel now, but wanted just a tad more space and just got the boxy version. Should suffice.

I'm a FTM and got a 31 "suite success" bag...but I'm rethinking that. I saw another bag on a blog I follow. The company is Better Life Bags, and although they're expensive they're super cute...you design your own, and its for a good cause.

Depends on if I can find someone to buy this other bag I have.

Thank you for the input ladies! I appreciate it!

I'm going to have to look into the abundance boxy backpack...I have a JuJuBe Be Prepared that I love but am going to need a backpack with a toddler and a baby. Plus, all the cloth diapers as my son has zero interest in potty training.

I have one from Landsend that I *anticipate* to just use for both... but actually may get DS a backpack or something that I can bring his things in. I dont know how much I want to pack into one?! We shall see...
