Hi all! my diaper bag is completely falling apart.  I picked it up last night to take with us out to dinner and the handle is almost falling off.  This thing has been put through the ringer.  I have used this bag almost everyday since Wesley was born. It has been everywhere with us and used to go to daycare as well everyday with Wesley until about 2 months ago.   I currently have the Carter's giraffe bag, this one:

So O12 what are you using for a diaper bag??  Should I get another one or should I switch to something else?

                
               







Re: Diaper bag reccomendations

  • I use this bag from ThirtyOne.  I pretty much love it.  4 pockets, and a wide, deep actual bag.  I'd love it even more if it closed, but I'll take what I can get.  


    When A was a baby, I used the Cindy Tote.

  • @cnana that inside-out bag is adorable! Does it hold a lot of stuff?  I was looking at the pictures and it doesn't look like it would hold a bunch of things, but I can't tell with the pictures. 

    @hismom12 I love that Verabradley bag and looked at it when I was pregnant. I didn't get it because the reviews were bad. All the reviews I read said it was falling apart after 6 months. Also can you fit a bunch of stuff in it?

  • I take my nieces to their weekly doc appts, so we spend a couple hours a week in a waiting room.  I have to have my bag for that, otherwise it's a fiasco.  Plus, it acts as my purse since I only carry a wallet. ;)

  • I use an llbean backpack that I use as a diaper bag. Its awesome and will become his backpack for school.
  • We have a Diaper Dude backpack for when we go places (NYC, Philly, long day trips) it holds everything and DH can carry it too. 

    For everyday I use a Coach tote purse that we got at the outlets.

  • Have been using an Eddie Bauer backpack as diaper bag from day 1. It was just sitting in the closet so I that, why not, and why spend $ in another bag. Very durable and no issues with it.  I love that I have both arms free and the bag doesn't get in the way (like some cross body type diaper bags do).

  • I have always used the Thirty One casual cargo purse as a diaper bag. It doesn't look like they sell it anymore though. I also have a Retro Metro bag and really like that (similar to the inside-out bag @CnAnA linked to) but it also doesn't close if that's important to you.

    My verabradely diaper bag is still together.  Used it until DS1 was 2.5 and then for almost 2 years now with DS2.  It held up great and still looks new.
