Hi, I'll be a first time mom in a couple months, confused about diaper bags. I found these bags, does anyone have a recommendation on one over the other? Thanks.
I like the one from poshbaby the best. The wipeable outside will make a big difference. I also think Mia Bossi diaper bags are so nice, but they are very pricey. They look like purses, though, so they could do double duty.
i think i'm in the minority here, but i don't use a traditional diaper bag. i just use a non-leather tote and throw my wipes/diapers/changing pad or whatever else i need inside it. i haven't seen the need for all the compartments, and if i am gone longer than 3-4 hours, i will just pack whatever else i need in a separate bag in the car.
Even though I have been longing for a Fleurville Mothership bag since my first baby in 2004, I never got one. I managed with a modest tote bag without any special compartments. My only complaint is that it can become kind of a bottomless pit. But it's tough to stay perfectly organized as a mom sometimes anyway.
By the time my second child came along, I figured out that it helped if I kept a big gallon ziploc bag inside for little essentials (mostly for my toddler). Inside I keep a comb, disposable bibs, tabletoppers, a washcloth, a travel size baby lotion, diaper rash ointment, and a sample pack of wipes just in case I forgot to pack wipes to begin with. That way I am not digging in the bottom of a bag when I need something.
Here's a pic of the Mothership bag I want.

It is very good that you are communicating about things that a small child needs. After all, not all parents have experience. And they need help choosing baby products. Therefore, I advise you to read about it. Very helpful article.
