A large diaper bag that isn't a black hole?

emoxymoose · May 2014

Hi ladies,

I don't have 2U2 but I have an honest question that I first posted on baby gear and got no response. The more I thought about it the more I realized that you would probably be the real experts since you probably get so much use out of your diaper bags. Any experiences you could provide would be very much appreciated.

Could you please recommend your diaper bag if you love it? I'm looking for something that would be suitable for a man or a woman to carry, will be able to hold enough gear for 2 children, and that isn't just a large bag. Something with a lot of functionality would be wonderful. I'm not into the designer labels such as Coach or Kate Spade, but I don't mind spending the extra money on something that will go the distance with our family. Thanks so much!

Ju-ju-be brand. They purposefully have light colored liners so you don't lose stuff and are super organized. I LOVE my BFF for my 2 kids. Machine washable, high quality, etc. I have been so happy with mine and I just bought a bigger one to handle my 3 under 3.

This is the best diaper bag there ever was... hands down!
I LOVE IT!

EDIT: @RedDDD I'm jealous that you have it in purple (my fav color!) I'm thinking of getting it in cobalt blue to celebrate Baby#2 this fall!
My DH LOVES his backpack!! (fisher price, bought at BRU):

I have the same bag!! It is by far the best I could find. I carry it to work with me every day. I didn't want a bag that looked like a diaper bag and I am not one for switching out bags or carrying mulitple bags and looking like a bag lady so this one did the trick for me as well. I have it in a dark dusty purple which I love and is very neutral. But she keeps changing the colors she uses so its offered in a few new colors that are more fun. or just go with black! Im not sure it is suitable for a man but in black with the over the shoulder strap it would be fine. I just think it looks like a purse. I just bought a super cheap messenger bag in black for the hubbs but funny thing is he never used it

PS - I have had this bag for two years now and it has held up great and is weather resistant and wipes clean.

I have the Kate Spade Stevie and Skip Hop Grand CEntral. Both are awesome. I use the KS during the week since its a tad smaller and we use the SH on weekends. It's huge and has tons of organization features. Love it.
