We're using this bag as our diaper bag. It's a Burkely Altima Vintage 'cowboy bag'.
I got it four years ago when I started teacher training, but the zipper broke (and I quit teaching) so it's been unused for about a year. Which is a real shame because it's nice and large and really good quality (except for the zipper, but we had that fixed). I'm really glad we still had it lying about.
Though I have to admit I'm a bit jealous of @jewels1020's bags because I loooove dinosaurs!
I finally got one! It's skiphop and was on sale (bonus!). I was hoping it was more "cinnamon" colored but it's a bit off, but still like it. DH thought it was too girlie (??) so I got him a cheap grey one as well
It's a splurge at $205, but we'll see if anyone buys it off the registry! I'm not sure yet if I'll buy it for myself if we don't get it as a gift, but I think it's a great unisex bag that can be carried 3 ways (including as a backpack). By TWELVElittle
I've added this to my registry. It's a skip hop bag in berry color. My stroller is going to be a grape color so it's color coordinated. It looks comfy enough and comes with two small zip bags for wipes and a chance of clothes.
I think the Petunia Pickle Bottom bags are super cute, but I cannot get past the name and having that written on the bag. Am I weird? Is it because I hate pickles?
I'm questioning my choice (purple or aqua Boken Every Day bag)... I still love that it can be worn a variety of ways, but I can't use my amazon registry completion discount for it.
I *can* use that discount on the JJ Cole Camber though.
Which is very, very cute. We would possibly get a different bag for DH if this is the one we go with for the primary bag.
You ladies are all so stylish! We went for functional. My husband actually picked out ours and I ended up buying it a few weeks ago for 50% off! I love how much space is inside but it still has so many separate pockets. Ours is the Fisher-Price Fastfinder Diaper Bag from BRU.
We had this one for DS and loved it!! The insulated pouch was awesome, the many compartments made finding what we needed easy, and I liked that it wasn't one of those cutesie patterns. The only thing I didn't like on our model (which yours might not have, as it looks to be a newer design) was the wipes holder. It was pretty useless since you had to refill it often so we just threw a pack of wipes in the main compartment. Overall though, great bag for the price.
Here's what I'm going with! I will put baby's things on one side (diapers, wipes, change of clothes, etc.), DS's things on the other side (crayons, little notebook, small toys), and my things (wallet, sunglasses, keys, chapstick) in the little tote in the middle. https://www.charmingcharlie.com/handbags/wallaby-tote-bag-in-bag-2.html#color=black
I snagged a ju ju be be prepared before our recent trip, and loved it for travel when I carry more baby related stuff around. It's huge and I love it, it will be perfect for two babies in cloth diapers...space for all of the fluff! Went with a girly print because I have two other bags both of which are black! (For anyone curious, I loved the Lily Jade in Elizabeth for one baby. It has a strap that converts it to a stylish backpack! I use it as my every day bag and toss baby stuff in for shorter journeys out).
@lbachran when I first ordered my be prepared they sent a be right back by accident and I almost kept it, it was awesome! If I wasn't about to have two kids in cloth diapers I definitely would use the be right back!
Technically, we have 2. One for everyday, (Marv Lassig Allover Navy messenger bag), and a backpack style for traveling. I love this bag. Just enough space to fit everything needed for baby, and the print is really cool but subtle.
Finally got a diaper bag! I was so torn about what I wanted which is why I procrastinated so much to get one but once I saw all the organization in this one I was in love!
You ladies have these for diaper bags?! (Slowly uses foot to push diaper bag under bed in shame). They are all so super cute. I seriously bought an all black $25 diaper bag from Walmart because it seemed practical enough for DH or I to both use but now that I think about it I've always hate sharing a diaper bag with DH so maybe I will get something cute for me
I baby wear and rarely use strollers so a backpack baby diaper bag worked much better for me as I had baby on front and everything I needed for baby on back and it was easy to go anywhere, we were super portable. As a bonus I dropped the PP weight rather quickly.
I got one that was "dad" friendly from dadgear so DH could wear too.
Shopping PSA: today Vera Bradley has free shipping on all orders and an extra 40% off sale colors. Their Make a Change Baby Bag is as cheap as $36 depending on the color with the sale.
I got the Bebamour backpack diaper bag and love it! It's super light-weight, roomy, and comes with a changing pad. It has lots of pockets too. It's a great color and will be used by both my husband and I.
Any suggestions on small handbags for quick runs to the grocery store, coffee with friends etc? I got one of the Skip Hop diaper bags in grey and also have a skip hop bottle cooler as well. However, it seems like an overload of stuff to lug with me when I'm just going for a walk in the park or trip to the shop. Also just curious how one is supposed to transport bottles of breast milk without a cooler? Wouldn't they go bad? Thank you!
Re: Post your diaper bag here!
mine came in yesterday .. I love it it's huge and has about 5 pockets on the inside too with a bigger detachable strap!
I got it four years ago when I started teacher training, but the zipper broke (and I quit teaching) so it's been unused for about a year. Which is a real shame because it's nice and large and really good quality (except for the zipper, but we had that fixed). I'm really glad we still had it lying about.

Just bought this from a mommy friend who started selling Thirty-One. I'm in love with it already!

One of my amazing friends got me a Vera Bradley diaper bag!!!!
We'll both be using it, so DH wanted something that wasn't too "girly."
I got one that was "dad" friendly from dadgear so DH could wear too.
