I'm looking for a new diaper bag. The only ones I have are cheapies from Babies R Us and while they do the job OK I figure that since I have a 22 month old and 4 month old I am no where near trading my diaper bag for my purse. So...I want to carry around a bag I like!
Hmm...I actually need 2 bags. A large diaper bag for when I have both kiddos or when I am just out with my 4 month old and a toddler tote for my 22 month old.
Anyone have any suggestions? Oh and it must have lots of pockets and bottle holders on the sides, other than that I'm open to just about anything.
Well for a large diaper bag at a reasonable price, what about a skip hop duo double? http://www.skiphop.com/home.cgi The site is flash so I can't post pics. it is very large with great orginization. The canvas is really nice, and comes in a few colors. Also I mentioned before that I absolutely LOVE my Posh Baby Ultimate. I love the orginization, I like the prints it comes in, and I love that it's waterproof. It was about $160. I think there are tons of Mommy type bags that are larger and less diaper bag-ish, like the stork sak bags, but they are pricey.
As for toddler totes, I think it really depends on what you'll carry. Just a snack and some diapers and wipes, maybe a toy? Again I like skip hop bags, the Expo is roomy enough to maybe add a sweater too....
My husband bought a great diaper bag for me for Christmas (I saw it in In Style last fall and hinted that I really wanted it for Christmas) and I love it! It's by Mia Bossi www.miabossi.com. The style is the "Maria" bag (look under Maria 2006) and comes in lots of other color options. Their bags are expensive, but I rationalized that it costs about the same as a nice hand bag and I really wanted a diaper bag that looked more like a nice (large) hand bag than a diaper bag. It has lots of pockets inside and on the outside. Also there is a zipper in the inside that goes all the way around the outside of the bag which is great for stashing extra diapers, an extra baby outfit, etc. My daughter is now two and we're planning on having one more child, so I will get lots of use out of it. Plus, after out kids are out of a diaper bag it will be a great travel bag! For some reason, I'm unable to paste the image....here is the link (my bag has the "toffee" leather trim. I also love the "tangerine" option).
this is so cute!! I'm going to have to try to remember that site- The bags are cute but practical, and not a bad price at all considering the amount of time you'll be carrying it!
This site sells the Maria bag for $70 less than the mia bossi site... I think this is the site that my bag is from (there's no way that I could have rationalized $400...$330 is a bit more digestable...).
