I am looking for a new diaper bag for our 3rd child - and I haven't seen a good diaper bag post in a while. What are you currently using or want to have? I'm looking at one of the Ju-Ju-Be backpack styles but I'm still not sold.

I really love the jujube backpack style and wanted one SO badly when he had DS2. I ended up getting a SkipHop forma backpack because it was so much cheaper, and we LOVE it. I have nothing but great things to say about it.

Following! This is my top choice although haven't used it/bought it yet... but I like that it doesn't look too diaper bag-ish https://amzn.com/B00B7XUVLW

I love this there is a snap on top that hooks up to my stroller and a pocket inside for diapers/pad wipes. It's also really lightweight.

@Goldengirl: I had that one at first but the plastic started separating from the fabric in less that a year. When DD started walking I got a backpack which is way easier even when wearing an ergo.
-
I have the skip hop duo and it's ok but I don't love it. All the small zip compartments are very handy but the main compartment is a black hole. I had another bag before it though (can't even remember the name of it) and this one is better than that at least.
@ValentineMommy: I want the Forma once LO2 is here. Glad to hear good things!

I've been using a fjallraven totepack (No 1). I love that it can easily be a tote (when back-babywearing) or a backpack (most of the time), and it's not actually a diaper bag
I'm guessing some wouldn't like that it doesn't have any sort of divider in the main pocket -- just a small internal zipper pocket -- but I've never been one to take all.the.things, so it works for us!

@youboots: Oh no, it took me so long to narrow it down to that one... the reviews on Amazon seemed mostly positive!

Our Skip Hop Versa is still our reliable workhorse after 17 months. We have it in the cream/orange color. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0041RRZ1U/ref=s9_simh_hd_bw_bBHjiV_p75_d0_i9?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-3&pf_rd_r=FK53MZC8DK0BFEERHVC7&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=87164ea6-7f1b-5041-9c3b-9c98a2372e08&pf_rd_i=166767011
It's great.

I love my Ju Ju Be backpack. I'm still using it with two kids.
-
I have the Timi and Leslie Rachel bag and I love it. This is my fifth diaper bag - I never knew I was so picky until this.
@Goldengirl: I have that one and it's super cute. The thing I don't like about it (and why I never use it) is that it doesn't stand up on its own. If I put just a normal amount of stuff in it, it topples over unless it's leaning against something.
-
I have the Tom Bihn diaper bag (parental unit) with two kids. I've been using it for a year and still love it. Gender neutral, spacious, great organization, and it's so comfortable. Now that LO2 is potty trained, I'm moving towards packing lighter and going for a simple crossbody instead.
-
@youboots: I have the same one! I love it, super light, easy to wear and access things inside, and doesn't scream baby.
-
@My Only Sunshine: Oh no! That seems annoying. Boo. Might have to go back to the drawing board... although seems there are complaints about nearly every one out there.
-
I'm thinking about getting a backpack eventually. I have a skip hop duo and I like it, but it can be a bit heavy/full to carry around with me, and I don't like having a heavy shoulder bag when I'm out with my son and no stroller. So having a backpack sounds nice.
-
I had the So Young Charlie with my first and never used it unless I was going away for the weekend - it was way too big. Now I have the Skip Hop Duo and I like it.
-
I use a boken backpack, which fits a great amount of baby and kid stuff in there, and is incredibly lightweight when not-so-full. I also have a leather backpack/handbag type (as in, its not huge its enough for mum stuff and extras), and I use that for handsfree shopping trips when baby bag isnt needed.

I love my Mia Bossi. I actually have this style and a larger tote (mainly used for travel now). This size is perfect. It spends most of its time hanging from my stroller. I love the pockets, the one long/one short strap, I can cram a ton in there. Also the liner zips out I wish the liner weren't black, however. It's also lightweight.
-
@cascademom - do you have the backpack or the BFF messenger/backpack style?
-
I ordered a Boken, but the first two I got had bad zippers... I ended up with this bag from Patagonia.
It's kinda a black hole of stuff. Not sure it will work for two kids. I might want something with more pockets.
I use these Baggu bags to keep things sorted.

@maddyz those little bags are adorable!
I'm guessing some wouldn't like that it doesn't have any sort of divider in the main pocket -- just a small internal zipper pocket -- but I've never been one to take all.the.things, so it works for us!
