It's definitely cute and purse-looking (it's leather + this nubby gray tweed-ish material), but I wish it were more structured. The slouchiness makes it harder to find stuff when I'm rummaging through it, and harder to organize stuff in there.<br /> I guess it's on the floor a lot, but so far (LO is 8 months old), it doesn't really get dirty. I have a wet bag for soiled clothes and stuff like that, so I've never actually needed to clean the bag itself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-material-for-diaper-bag#post-36913 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 10:40:17 +0000 LivsMama 36913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have leather (The Hudson by Nest - black) and love it. Looks like a purse and the leathr is heavy duty </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-material-for-diaper-bag#post-36893 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 10:15:51 +0000 winniebee 36893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for these tips, ladies! I am definitely sold on the nylon bag. I heart StorkSak, Marc Jacobs, and also Kate Spade. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-material-for-diaper-bag#post-36306 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 11:12:19 +0000 CameronsMomma 36306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't find one I like anywhere that I'm registered (Sears and Babies R Us), so I haven't registered for one and will probably end up using my oversized purse. I do definitely love that bag though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-material-for-diaper-bag#post-35956 Sat, 17 Dec 2011 16:56:20 +0000 Rosie Girl 35956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whatever bag you get, make sure you can easily open it and access everything inside! I got a diaper bag that was really hard to open, and I could never get anything in or out. Also, get one that can get dirty, and you can wipe clean easily. They get dirty fast and easily! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-material-for-diaper-bag#post-35943 Sat, 17 Dec 2011 16:37:57 +0000 momentspassslow 35943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went with a Marc Jacobs - <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/marc-by-marc-jacobs-pretty-nylon-elizababy-diaper-bag/3166879" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/marc-by-marc-jacobs-pretty-nylon-elizababy-diaper-bag/3166879</a> - I absolutely LOVE it. A few friends I know got a Kate Spade and they love those too. I have a really big spitter-upper and my diaper bag has never gotten "dirty" - I empty it daily, I throw diapers out immediately. This one is nylon so it's easily cleanable if needed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-material-for-diaper-bag#post-17672 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 10:31:54 +0000 junebugmama 17672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I asked for this one. After having one with my bonus son I realized that I needed something I could wipe down.<br /> <a href="http://www.diaperbags.com/designer-brands/cocalo-couture-diaper-bags/cocalocouturechloefloralhobodiaperbag.cfm" rel="nofollow">http://www.diaperbags.com/designer-brands/cocalo-couture-diaper-bags/cocalocouturechloefloralhobodiaperbag.cfm</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-material-for-diaper-bag#post-17649 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 09:33:32 +0000 katbridg 17649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My vote is for the StorkSak Oliva! I registered for it and was shocked that someone actually bought it for me!! My friend has it and absolutely loves it. She can't recommend it enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-material-for-diaper-bag#post-17645 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 09:20:32 +0000 heffalump 17645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Mommy Hook that I got from Babies R Us to attach my bag to the stroller. But it's so darn big that I always end up just carrying it anyway otherwise it'll drag the stroller down.</p> <p>If you want a fancy bag and don't want to have to worry about soiled clothes/burp cloths, you could always get a wet bag to put inside your bag for all of that stuff. I have a very casual bag, it's canvas from 31, not fancy at all. But surprisingly it doesn't get very dirty. I have a wetbag that I stick all my dirty cloth diapers and soiled clothes in, and other than that it's just the water in the bottles that you'd have to worry about leaking.</p> <p>What I love about my diaper bag is that it has lots of outside pockets. Makes it very easy to find things quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-material-for-diaper-bag#post-17588 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 02:27:33 +0000 looch 17588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Get something you don't care about knocking around on the stroller or the floor. I really like the bags that have stroller clips to attach to the handlebars of the stroller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-material-for-diaper-bag#post-17567 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 22:36:45 +0000 leelee 17567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the Coach diaper bags and have actually heard great things about them. I am thinking about getting one since I live by the outlet but well see how the hubs feels about it haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-material-for-diaper-bag#post-17554 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 21:56:44 +0000 cyndistar3 17554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I personally would never go with something like coach or anything that expensive really because its likely to get really dirty from spit up rags and soiled clothes... so I say the easier to clean the better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-material-for-diaper-bag#post-17548 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 21:12:44 +0000 SAHM0811 17548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Storksak that's very much like the Olivia.... and I love it! It gets lots of compliments and I've used it for both babies, so for almost 4 years now. Even when I went back to work and didn't need it to be a diaper bag (baby was at home with nanny), I still used it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-material-for-diaper-bag#post-17546 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 21:05:48 +0000 chopsuey 17546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a black kate spade nylon diaper bag. it's awesome, looks like a messenger bag, and is easy to clean! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-material-for-diaper-bag#post-17544 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 20:58:19 +0000 winniebee 17544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom is very generously gifting me a diaper bag of my choosing for Christmas (within reason, of course). I would really like a bag that looks like a purse rather than a diaper bag - also would like something in a neutral color (ie, no patterns). </p> <p>I was looking at some of the Coach diaper bags - they are gorgeous! But, would leather be practical I wonder? Also, are they brief-casey? </p> <p>I was also looking at the StorkSak - Olivia. Not sure if a slouchy type bag would be annoying though? <a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com/p/Storksak-Olivia-Baby-Bag-Gray-Baby-Bags-Strollers/prod134210061/" rel="nofollow">http://www.neimanmarcus.com/p/Storksak-Olivia-Baby-Bag-Gray-Baby-Bags-Strollers/prod134210061/</a></p> <p>Thanks : ) </p>
