What diaper bag do you use? We had an Eddie Bauer one that fell apart before DD turned 1. I never bought another just used my purse..etc. With DS on the way we are going to need another one.
My favorite so far (and I've had several) is my Thirty One zippered Tote. I love the outside pockets. And even though the inside doesn't have pockets, I've seen people make or buy dividers. I didn't bother. I've got two in cloth diapers, so that takes up space.
I also love my thirty-one zippered tote. It has held up amazingly and they had good costumer service when it got a small hole along the seam within a few weeks. They just replaced it, personalization and all.
I had a petunia picklebottom and it's still in fantastic shape. Nothing is broken or worn, but maybe a bit dirty. I wish I had bought the back pack style. While the weekender style I bought fits EVERY THING in for both kids, it's just not fun to carry. I went to Walmart and bought a $7 backpack and carry that for DDs stuff, then bought DS his own wee backpack that he can carry on his own with all his own stuff in it. It's made life way easier.
I just use a plain, boring backpack. It's got really good padding on the straps, so it's comfortable to carry. For me , comfort was more important than style. Plus this way DH and I can share the bag without having to transfer stuff from a girly bag to his bag.
We have a hand me down Diaper Dude bag from one of DH's co-workers. I seriously love it (broken zipper and all), because it was free and is a cross-body strap.
I have one from skip hop and it's fine but I've already decide that I'm investing in a nice bag when I'm pregnant again. I've been lusting over the JuJu Be Legacy BFF in the color "First Lady". It's so cute but seems extremely functional. I may or may not have watched several youtube reviews and was really impressed.
I have a PPB that I bought from @luxannie and I loooooove it. Before that, I had an Eddie Bauer one from Target, and it was a good bag. I did like all the many pockets, but I love the backpack feature on the PPB one and how organized it is. :-)
I also use a back pack. I have always hated to carry anything. Never a big purse person. So I like the back pack. I used a big one when we are going to a party or gonna be out for awhile. And I have a small one shoulder one I use normally.
