STM - Recommend your diaper bag

*sparky* · December 2013

I am a STM but the first time around I just got a very basic, utilitarian diaper bag that DH would also carry. This time I want to get something that I actually like. There are a ton of brands out there, but I am trying to figure out which ones are really worth it. I am doing most of my shopping online so it is hard to get a feel for size, etc. I like the PPB Boxy bag and also a JuJuBe messenger bag, from what I have seen so far. But there are so many choices. Anyone have a bag that they have used and really love?

I got my PPB Boxy Backpack with my second and I love it! DS is 20 months and we are still using it and there will be plenty of room to add the new baby's things inside.

i got this one for my son and i loved it:

fleurville rerun hana in "ogo" color (which isn't a current color anymore, but was MUCH cuter than this poop brown color below)

but this time around, i also got this one, which i am VERY excited to try out!!

I have two Ju Ju be diaper bags and I love love love them! That being said I have not really tried any other bags.

I love my Timi & Leslie

I'm looking for a good one too. I haven't liked any that I've tried

I absolutely adore my JujuBe bag:

I'm trying to decide between the skip hop Chelsea or lady bento! Tough choice!!

Another vote for timi and Leslie! I loved mine - looks like a real purse but has a zillion features! Search for them on amazon!

We use a backpack and I love it. Not really stylish but that's not my style anyway. DH likes it too. I love that it's hands free when I have 2 kids in tow. Everything else always falls off my shoulder.

I'll take anything cheap and easy to get into. I don't want to spend a lot of money, so I'm looking on Ebay for something that catches my eye. Nothing yet.

*sparky* · December 2013

@kali55 and @MamaFantastic - I really like both of those. It is so hard to choose!

I love my PPB backpack. I just ordered a new one because I found it for 50% off.

JuJu Bee is one of my favorite drag queens, and I get really confused when that bag brand gets brought up. Just sayin'.

I'm in the same boat (STM shopping for a different bag) - and I'm kind of falling for Skip Hop, just based on the reviews of people saying they can be clipped to grocery carts. That and the Duo comes in chevron. What can I say, I'm easy.

I just got my skip hop duo in the mail. I think I'm really going to like it. It seems a bit small compared to what I had last time but I like that. It's super cute.

This exactly. I use a Vera Bradley backpack and it's perfect. I plan on getting a new one (mine is dirty and faded) for DS2. It'll make it easy to carry an infant carrier and hold a 2 year old's hand.

I really wanted a diaper bag backpack this time around... I like the ju ju be, but I don't care to have a flap closure if that makes sense, I like just a big zippered bag!

BuggasMom · December 2013

I have never been a fan of the standard diaper bags. So I invest in ones that double as a purse and are stylish , It MUST have a across the shoulder strap because juggling a baby and a bag is too much work!

This is what I got its Betty Johnson and I love it

I got a plain black SkipHop bag at a consignment store. I liked that it had a bajillion pockets, and DH wasn't embarrassed to be seen carrying it around. A lot of the ones that are more pretty and purse-like wouldn't work for that reason.
