Small diaper bags/clutch

Has anyone moved on from their large diaper bag to a smaller bag? I was thinking about getting a small clutch-style diaper bag for when we use the umbrella stroller or just do a quick errand, since the large diaper bag keeps making my stroller tip. I've thought about using my purse, but it's already pretty full and I'd rather have something packed and ready to go.

I'd love something that would fit a couple diapers, some wipes, and maybe a pouch of food and some puffs. Also, I'd like it to be less than $50. Any ideas?

    I recently downsized, from the FP Fastfinder bag to the Skip Hop Dash Deluxe.  We bring diapers to LO's sitter by the box; since we only need to bring an extra outfit, 2 bottles, and his food on a daily basis, the Fastfinder was way bigger than necessary. 

    I also have the BRU changing station, which is clutch-style, but I only have 1 diaper and a travel pack of wipes in it, and it's super bulky for what it is. I leave it in my car and rarely take it with me anywhere.

    I'd usually rather take the Dash Deluxe since it has the shoulder strap.  It also has clips to attach to the handlebar of a stroller.  I think it's just over $50, but I got it from Amazon as one of their warehouse deals (open box) for $26. 

    ETA: We still use the bigger bag if we're visiting family or something and need to bring toys, multiple meals, etc.  But for our daily trips to/from the sitter or the store, the Dash Deluxe is perfect.

  • I keep diapers and wipes in may car and unless it's going to be a long day out I don't even bring a bag. If she needs to be changed I run to the car.
    This is us too. I have an organizer in the car that holds diapers, wipes, couple toys, extra outfit, and extra cloths/small blanket. I only worry about the diaper bag for long days or if we take DH's truck for some reason. It's been super convenient.
    pearsforpoops Which organizer do you have for your car?

    I'm thinking about something like the Skip Hop changing station. However, I don't actually want a changing station--I prefer using disposable changing pads. And I want to be able to keep a snack in the bag and I'm not sure those work...

  • Call me cheap, but if it's running errands or something where we won't be out for long, I have a large ziplock that I just pull from the diaper bag and add to my purse. It has 2 diapers, small pack of wipes, a onesie, some Viva paper towels, and a disposable changing pad. If I need to pack a bottle and snacks or a blanket, I take the diaper bag or like PP suggested keep it organized in the car.
  • Omg! I'm doing the same! I don't need such a big one anymore! Esp
    With an active LO! I like the skip hop but when I saw t in person- it was huge :( more suggestions please! ;)
