I have a Skip Hop VIA messenger bag and I love it... BUT it's really not big enough for a full day of CDing. However, it's wonderful for a few hours out. It has lots of great pockets, easy storage for your keys/ID and it looks really hip. I just wish they had one double the size for long visits.
I don't like messenger bags, I wanted more of a tote and something that was sort of grown up and neutral so that DH wouldn't feel weird carrying it. I also didn't think I needed some humongo bag since I basically just need it for short trips to the mall and a day care bag.
I have a Kate Spade over the shoulder tote. I love the size and i can zip it shut or leave it open. The web site was having a sale otherwise i *probably* wouldn't have gotten it. ;-)
I didn't get a diaper bag per se - I got a zip-top LL Bean boat-and-tote bag. I didn't want lots of little pockets, so this is great. I can cram a lot of stuff in there, and it was under $30. Plus, when we're done with diapers, it's just a plain bag (and those suckers last forever - I have one that is now 19 years old!)
uh...I never really got one. DD didn't take bottles or a pacifier, and I used cloth diapers, so DD never really had blow outs, so I never needed an extra set of clothes or anything. I would carry an extra diaper in my purse. Maybe I was unprepared, but in 20 months, I have never been out and about and felt I should have had one. I just carried a big purse, or a little totee bag my sister got me that carried her wipes and 2 diapers. I have been using that since she was born.
I have the pottery barn ultimate diaper bag and I like to an extent . I dont like that it has magnetic closure .- i really need a zipper . Maybe i am putting too much in it ! I am currently gonna get a skip hop either the one kathryn mentioned or the city chic .I refuse to carry a purse and diaper bag so I need something that has a compartment for my wallet and coupons and such and skip hop city chic has that . We also have a tote bag for overnights ! Iwill say I am carrying a lot more coupons now ! GL and email me if you have any Q's .
Re: Tell me about your diaper bag?
This is what I ordered from Target over the weekend:
