I know this was brought up back in June... but I'm still so totally lost. Especially because we are about to send out invitations for my baby shower, I am at a total loss for what to get.
I currently have the Petunia Pickle Bottom Boxy Backpack on my registry... I've heard good things about it, SO won't feel weird carrying it around, we're cloth diapering and want the space... but it's expensive, and part of me totally wants the Skip Hop 2 in 1 Duet Tote because it's pretty like a purse (and costs like $70 less). But I hear that most moms by several months in don't want the purse-like bags because they get heavy and annoying.
Maybe I'm thinking too hard on this but... what's the difference going to be between a $50 and a $200 bag (Like a Carter's bag vs. a Petunia Pickle Bottom), do I want a changing pad, do I want a ton of organization or more of an open space to put whatever I need, is bigger better, is a backpack really the best way to go, and am I going to want to buy something that SO will be okay wearing (or can't I just shove it in the huge compartment under my stroller?)
My mind is spinning...
:-O

I went with the PPB abundance boxy because I needed the space for cloth diapering twins. It was plenty large enough and 3 years later it still looks brand new. Not one seam tear.
So I say go for the nicer one that you really like.

@Life is Exciting the website is petuniaoutlet.com. If you go there now you can pre register and PPB will you email you starting a few days before it starts.
@Zepplin1218 I liked the back pack for baby wearing better than a cross over strap. I felt like a cross over strap was in the baby's face and just sort of awkward in the front where the carrier is.

This time I have this one- it has more space. I haven't started using it yet because I'm saving it for when baby is born so I don't over fill it with stuff just for dd!

I ended up getting a skip hop diaper bag for Christmas and I love it. So many compartments for everything and bottle holder pockets on the outside and it came with a changing pad. It's also not overly huge which I like, for now. We will see how it works with two kids' stuff in there.
Hmm..that's what I was afraid of. Maybe I'll see if I can google whichever one they were talking about and check it out for myself...Thanks!

I had a skip hop duo for a year before it started falling apart. The seams were coming undone. To be fair I beat the crap out of that bag. But still, I would've expected to hold up a little bit better.
