Skip Hop Duo... Fits the bill and comes in plain colors!

I think this one can be worn cross-body style.

It's pricey, but you can for sure use it long after your baby is out of diapers. And its pretty basic enough that your husband could be okay carrying it.

I have the skip hop duo, and it was fine when my LO was little, but eventually found that it didn't feel as roomy, well organized.

@NCSUchick27: yup. I have a b&w striped Skip Hop bag.

I'd look at the jj Cole satchel or caprice, skip hop duo double and the PBK Classic diaper bag.

@snowjewelz: I second skip hop duo. I LOVE mine!

Mine doesn't have an issue with toppling over.

I have the skip hop duo and it drives me nuts! I actually bought something else to try with LO2.

It does stand up on its own, and the stroller clips work well. The annoying part is the top is magnetic closure but if you have anything in it, it won't close. And the two zippered top pockets don't add to the interior size of the bag, so if you put anything bulky in them, you can't fit much in the top of the middle. For me it was too big for short outings and too small for a whole day. I did cloth diaper but I'm not really an overpacker.

I had the skip hop duo and HATED it. I could never find anything and it never seemed to hold enough (I CD so that makes a difference). I splurged at Christmas time and got myself a Lily Jade and it was so worth it.

I don't have a suggestion that meets your criteria, but I'll mention that i was really unhappy with my Skip Hop Duo. It wasn't nearly as spacious as I wanted, and it was hard to find things in the main compartment. Things always fell out of the pockets, too. I caved and bought a Kate Spade Serena when LO was 6mos, and I LOVE that bag.

@SweetiePie: that's one of the biggest reasons I went for it. Since I can remove the organizer when I'm done, I can use the bag as a purse or overnight bag. It's quite large so I probably wouldn't use it on the daily once I'm done with diapers.
You can put the organizer in any bag! It's awesome. The plus to using it with the lily jade bags is that it snaps in.

@starlitsky: I got a used Chloe bag from the Bumble collection. It's in between the size of the small canvas bag I was using for my toddler and the skip hop duo so I'm hoping it will be better for everyday use. I realized I actually don't like structured bags and wanted something that I can stuff full and zip when needed. And for $18 it was worth trying!

@jengirl: if you want to try the skip hop duo for less I'll sell you mine. It's black, still in really good condition, and has the magnetic closures at the top, not the zipper.

@brownepiano: I have the skip hop duo on my registry but now I'm rethinking it because I'm not sure I like structured bags either! I might try it out once it gets here and then consider returning it.

@Portboston: I was looking at the Madeline because I like that it can be worn as a backpack! do you use it as a backpack and can you hang it from the back of a stroller?

@JenGirl: I have one as my mommy bag and it's great. I saw them being sold at my local Buy Buy Baby.

@starlitsky: I realized that my purse is just highly unstructured and I love it (a over the shoulder bag with one zippered pocket and that's about it). I've started using just a reusable bag (like the grocery kind) for overnights etc. So yeah a structured bag just isn't for me.
