I bought DH a cool daddy diaper bag a couple months ago and he loves it! Yay me!! Aaaaand I just realized I never got one for myself - fail. Which do you have that you just love? Which do you wish you had? Ready and go!
I got this coach bag off ebay for about $60 I love it! Its got a ton of pockets everywhere and a changing pad. Its a vinyl finish on the outside and inside so wiping messes will be easy!
Mine just came in the mail this weekend and I am so excited. I'm actually embarrassed about how much money I splurged on this bad boy, but my guilt is slowly starting to go away seeing how beautiful and functional it is. I really spoiled myself but I LOVE it!
We have two. I originally got the Vera Bradley baby bag but its a little on the small side. Then I got the Ju Ju Be Be Prepared and for one its a bit big but it will be nice that I will have two in diapers.
What are the dimensions of your bags? I'm torn between two right now, both from LL Bean --- one designed as an airplane carry-on at 14" tall by 20.5" wide by 7.5" deep, and the other designed as a diaper bag at 13x12x5&3/4.
They have very similar pockets and features (wile clean), the only difference is the diap bag comes with a changing pad and is smaller.
I just ordered the juju be be prepared backpack. I have two others from dd but I love the backpack carry since it doesn't slip off my shoulder. Not the most stylish but definitely functional!
We have 2. I got mine back in September, since I had a coupon for my birthday. My husband wanted me to choose something gender neutral, since we didn't know the sex yet. But I think it is more for me than the baby, so I chose a girly one. And we're having a girl, so it worked out. Then for Christmas "the baby" bought her daddy a diaper bag for him. I want to buy a 3rd one (because I'm crazy). I'm thinking mine will always be stocked with diapers, wipes, necessities, and I want one that I can drop off with daycare/my MIL's that will just have a change of clothes, etc. But I don't know yet.
I had a Vera Bradley with DS and loved it but it wasn't bit enough for 2 in diapers so I got the JJ Cole backpack. It converts into a messenger if I need it too. It's super nice to be hands free.
We got this "manly" one so that DH wouldn't feel awkward. And while I like it, it's a little large for me (I'm very petite), so I'm getting the Skip Hop one below, which is just a diaper holder/changer, that I can throw into a larger regular purse with the few other baby items I'll need when I'm just out for short periods of time (I'm hoping to BF so won't need bottles).
Got the hubby one and he got me one! I think he snooped through the iPad and was able to see what i was viewing. Got me the timi and Leslie hart bag, love that it can be a purse, backpack, and hooks to the stroller! Mine an DH bags
Originally I wanted the Skip Hop Duo & then I decided the size of the Dash was better suited for us. However once I had the Dash I felt we'd need a little more space so we returned it & went with the JJ Cole Metra in Black Stitch. I'm not picky with what the bag looks like & I really just wanted it to be functional. DH wanted something that didn't look to feminine obviously so this one is perfect for him. He said he's going to spruce it up with some band patches which is perfectly fine with me, lol.
I got the JJ Cole one from babies r us, I absolutely love it! My husband complained that it looked girly and like a purse but he still liked it lol...he says he's going to get his son a dodgers one!
I'm not sure what I want so for now I plan on using my regular purse. Once I figure out what my routine will be I'll decide what I should get, if anything at all.
I also have a plain small black messenger style bag for DH and/or leaving in the car.
I'm planning on cloth diapering so I can't figure out what size bag will work for me just yet
Re: AW your diaper bag!

Here is ours from Target. DH and I compromised on this one--not too manly, not too girly

I have the Duo as well, but in French stripe print.
I have the same one, I'm in love with it. Got DH one from diaperdude.com
