Moms of 2+ Diaper bag recommendation

GinnyJ2012 · July 2014

I hate my current diaper bag, and my MIL offered to buy me a new one as a gift. I want something stylish, but still practical, easy to keep organized, and large enough for two sets of diapers, clothing changes, bottles, and toddler snacks/toys. I feel like that is a lot to keep in one bag! I would like something that DH wouldn't be embarrassed to carry around, and is easily cleaned. So what do you have that you love, and why?

We have one similar to this. DD is 5.5 so we bought ours quite awhile ago, but this one is very similar. Our is also an Eddie Bauer from Target.

It is definitely big, but we liked it because it has alot of pockets where we can store things. Our parents don't live nearby, so we found this one to be really helpful when we would go on weekend or overnight trips, because there is enough room for dipes, wipes, clothes, medicines, diaper cream, snacks, etc, etc. We kept another much smaller bag if we were just taking quick trips where we knew we wouldn't need anything besides 1-2 dipes, a small package of wipes and a change of clothes.

We still use this bag all the time as the kids "suitcase" when visiting their grandparents. it's 5+ years old and has held up really well.

I really really love Ju-ju-be bags. I have used the BFF for my 2 under 2 and recently got a Be Right Back to use for all 3 kids. I really can't say better things about them. If you pack a lot you might like the Be Prepared but I tried it and felt it was way too big for everyday. I don't carry spare clothes in my diaper bag anymore for my toddlers and I keep a change of clothes, extra diapers and wipes in my car and I just carry what I really need in my bag. I'll probably do a change of clothes for the newborn since blowouts happen all the time with them but it's helped immensely to only carry what I really need for my older ones.

I second the Ju Ju Be BFF. Love mine! I'm considering getting a Be Right Back this time, but will still use my BFF. I love that they are machine washable.

I just got a Be Right Back and I love it. It seemed small at first but once I got everything in I still have a ton of room left. Everything is organized in its own section instead of my old diaper bag which my husband used to call the black hole.

I just got this one
I had the organizing utility for dd, but it didn't have a zipper & when I bent down everything would fall out. This one is a bit bigger & zips. I think I am going to love it.

I have a feeling that I might just use my kelty daypack from when I used to go camping... you know, before I had kids. Seems like it is a little lonely and I will need both hands free. Fashion be damned.

Thanks everyone! I'll see if I can get my hands on a few of these styles soon! MIL didn't tell me how much she wanted to spend so I want to keep it reasonable.

I use a regular backpack.
