Spinoff of handbag post - diaper bag PIP

Sahara6971 · November 2014

I know we did one of these a few months ago, but what the heck. There are some new ladies here and we are all further along now.

Post a picture of your diaper bag (or the one you are hoping/wishing for).

My husband has me convinced that I need to just use a backpack. I started w/ a Coach diaper bag w/ DS#1 and it was not practical at all. Then I went to another cute but much more functional diaper bag w/ DS#2. Both times I ended up using a backpack because it's just easier and my husband was more likely to lend a hand and carry it for me. So I just got this one. It has soooooo much organization which I love.

I have the lug diaper bag. I love it. It's wipe able, has tons of pockets, comes with change pad and a wet bag to put in dirty clothes or whatever.

reneamac313 · November 2014

I received this diaper bag from my sister and I can't wait to use it! I like that there are insulated pockets for your phone and tablet along with a lot of other pockets for organization.

krysmill · November 2014

I don't have a picture of mine but I bought the Make A Change Vera Bradley in Cobalt. It has great reviews and I love the look of it. Its good size and has lots of pockets.

kdhuling · November 2014

I decided to go with an Ikabag. It will take forever to get it because they are made to order but I'm excited and hope I love it as much as I think I will. The pic shows a blue strap but I ordered my with a brown leather strap.

I got a jujube messenger. I've been tempted several times to use it early even though neither of my kids are in diapers.

Mommalawyer · November 2014

I had a Petunia Picklebottom with DD and used it the entire time and LOVED it!

The only thing I may change this time is getting the one that has the stuff on the material. I think it's easier to clean, rather than the all cloth.

FTM here and my other friends that have babies rave over the petunia pickle bottom bags. This is a Nordstroms line one that my MIL paid for but, I got to rack up my nordy points. Can't wait to use it.

animalcrckr · November 2014

@sahara6971 I agree with a backpack being easier to use. I'm done with any shoulder bags b/c they are constantly falling off my shoulder while I'm holding 10 million other things.

jknallen · November 2014

i don't have a picture but I love the Skip Hop Studio bag. I used it with DS and can't wait to use it again this time. I cloth diaper and formula feed and it fits enough stuff to be out from 9am-9pm. Love that bag!

StephanieLBerg · November 2014

My father gave us a really nice black damask Kate Spade diaper bag, and it's huge! However, I'm afraid that if I have a bag that I KNOW can carry much more than I am initially putting in it, I will subconsciously need to fill it and most likely will. So I'll probably be saving that one for when we're gone for several days or something similar. I have registered, on Amazon, for the one pictured below to use as a daily diaper bag. Its just big enough to carry everything we'll need and I won't subconsciously need to fill it with more crap I don't need.

mandamoochie · November 2014

@StephanieLBerg‌ I totally understand that mentality as I do it with normal purses. Keep it small and you don't lug too much unnecessary junk. I just wanted to warn you though, especially under 6 months, there are just days you *NEED* that 4th change of clothing you packed because everything else is covered in poo or any other random baby substance. I might recommend keeping a stash of stuff in your car or something if that's the case. The only issue with the car is the quickly changing sizes and making sure you have stuff that fits.

AshleySparkle720 · November 2014

I got this in the mail yesterday

it's so spacious and I'm excited to use it!

wintersong139 · November 2014

Someone bought this off my registry. Can't wait to get it! :-) I'm pretty excited about how it hooks onto a stroller, since the stroller we want it would not be practical to drape a strap over the handle. We registered for it in green.

Now, DH HATES my purse and how disorganized he thinks it is. He is a very...finicky...person. So he gets his own diaper bag. I bought it for him as one of his Christmas presents. Much moremanly, slightly smaller, but with plenty of pockets for organization. (He complains that my purses doesn't have enough pockets, that's why it is always "a mess.")

Another PPB boxy backpack here.

mle106 · November 2014

I registered for the skip hop duo. I'm hoping it's big enough to hold the essentials- I know myself well enough to know that a big bag will lead to too much stuff in it.

lulu783 · November 2014

I received 2. The Skip Hop Forma in Black. I was lusting after the Marc Jacobs bag, but this is pretty similar and was free with GC's. I figured DH would rather carry something black.

Also got this Pottery Barn Harper tote. It's so cute, but it doesn't zip shut.

schnitz9 · November 2014

Here's mine. Kate Spade Stevie. Got the all black version for a friend 6 years ago and she still uses it. I wanted something that I could use after having kids and it could work for 2 kids eventually as well. Got a great deal at the Kate Spade Outlet...

smg2302 · November 2014

So we have two, mine and DH's. Truth be told, we always use DH's. I don't really like the functionality of mine.

kefttsc · November 2014

We went with the Skip Hop Duo. I asked DH if he wanted his own so he didn't have to carry a chevron bag, but he said he didn't care at all.

Irishcurls · November 2014

@ashleysparkle720 are you putting any kind of organizer in that bag? Love the color (and the bag!) just wonder for practicality purposes, or will it all just be thrown in?

I need to take myself to the Kate Spade outlet and poke around....

michelle142 · November 2014

Right now I'm using an oversized purse that I found for $4 on a clearance rack. I'm nothing if not fancy!

All I usually need right now is a change of clothes/extra undies, snacks and my wallet and cell.

mirigirl · November 2014

I bought this one from Pottery barn kids. A friend of mine has an embroidery machine and is going to put baby Blake's initials on it.

nbad311 · November 2014

This, but in a chocolate brown color:

I got it at the Vera Bradley outlets. Can not attest to it's effectiveness yet!

FlowerPower16 · November 2014

Not a great picture, but we have the Skip Hop Versa. I really like it, and DH has no problem carrying it when needed either. I hate wearing it over my shoulder, but the straps adjust to wear across your body, and there's hooks to hook it to a stroller so you don't have to carry it at all if you don't want to. There's lot's of pockets and it's expandable.

mommaa1615 · November 2014

After looking in BRU- I registered for this one. It should do the trick and I think it's cute!

I plan on getting this bag this time around. One of my many do to list items. I have the Skip Hop Duo for DS and after 2 and a half years it's seen better days. We still use it all the time. I am hoping this one has a little more space, just because I will probably still need room for a few things for DS.

StephanieLBerg - I'll take that Kate Spade off your hands

Honestly, I'll probably throw it all in. It has a good number of pockets on the inside and is extremely deep. It will easily fit a changing pad, diapers/wipes, clothes, bottles, nuks, creams, and toys in it. The color is like a jeweled jade/teal and I love it!!

Mrs. Zee · November 2014

This is the one I want, we will see if Santa thinks I was a good girl this year!

Oh thank you! I didn't even know Macy's carried it. I will check it out!

WanderingA · November 2014

PSA: For any of you Amazon members, the SkipHop diaper bag is having a flash sale right now in their black Friday early deals, marked down from $65 to $50! I think the deal only lasts for another 1/2 hour though so if you want one get on it!

brooklynmama22 · November 2014

I got this Michael kors one on sale - like $100 off and luckily had a gift card to pay pretty much the rest. I like it bc it looks just like a purse/tote. It came w changing pad and has stroller straps. I see it go on sale every so often so keep an eye out if you like!

inkedmommyx4 · November 2014

Another Petunia Picklebottom mama here! Love the color and print of my bag!

AshleySparkle720 · November 2014

@brooklynmama22 I almost got the same one but it looks exactly like the purse I typically carry and I know when I'm sleep deprived I'll end up grabbing the wrong one. ha so I got a different MK bag
