I ended up with this bag from Patagonia.</p> <p><a href="http://www.patagonia.com/product/lightweight-travel-tote-pack-22-liters/48808.html?dwvar_48808_color=EPCB&#038;cgid=#q=back%2Bpack&#038;lang=en_US&#038;start=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.patagonia.com/product/lightweight-travel-tote-pack-22-liters/48808.html?dwvar_48808_color=EPCB&#038;cgid=#q=back%2Bpack&#038;lang=en_US&#038;start=1</a></p> <p>It's kinda a black hole of stuff. Not sure it will work for two kids. I might want something with more pockets.</p> <p>I use these Baggu bags to keep things sorted.</p> <p><a href="https://smile.amazon.com/BAGGU-3D-Zip-Medium-Pack/dp/B01DZ2QBRK/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1473704138&#038;sr=8-8&#038;keywords=baggu" rel="nofollow">https://smile.amazon.com/BAGGU-3D-Zip-Medium-Pack/dp/B01DZ2QBRK/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1473704138&#038;sr=8-8&#038;keywords=baggu</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-bag-what-are-you-using-love-ithate-it#post-2620015 Mon, 12 Sep 2016 11:25:02 +0000 theknest 2620015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom - do you have the backpack or the BFF messenger/backpack style? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-bag-what-are-you-using-love-ithate-it#post-2618331 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 19:51:36 +0000 Littlebit7 2618331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AF7XMO4/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AF7XMO4/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1</a></p> <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-bag-what-are-you-using-love-ithate-it#post-2618260 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 18:32:18 +0000 FannyMae 2618260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-bag-what-are-you-using-love-ithate-it#post-2618256 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 18:26:30 +0000 erinbaderin 2618256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-bag-what-are-you-using-love-ithate-it#post-2618254 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 18:24:03 +0000 ottilie 2618254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-bag-what-are-you-using-love-ithate-it#post-2618240 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 18:03:33 +0000 Goldengirl 2618240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-bag-what-are-you-using-love-ithate-it#post-2617844 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 11:38:09 +0000 hilsy85 2617844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: I have the same one! I love it, super light, easy to wear and access things inside, and doesn't scream baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-bag-what-are-you-using-love-ithate-it#post-2617842 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 11:37:39 +0000 yin 2617842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-bag-what-are-you-using-love-ithate-it#post-2617839 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 11:34:18 +0000 My Only Sunshine 2617839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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.</p> <p>@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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-bag-what-are-you-using-love-ithate-it#post-2617819 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 11:26:34 +0000 cascademom 2617819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my Ju Ju Be backpack.

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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-bag-what-are-you-using-love-ithate-it#post-2617786 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 10:46:46 +0000 catlady 2617786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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.</p> <p>@ValentineMommy: I want the Forma once LO2 is here. Glad to hear good things! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-bag-what-are-you-using-love-ithate-it#post-2617785 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 10:44:15 +0000 youboots 2617785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-bag-what-are-you-using-love-ithate-it#post-2617784 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 10:42:43 +0000 youboots 2617784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://m.shop.nordstrom.com/s/fjallraven-kanken-backpack/3537484" rel="nofollow">http://m.shop.nordstrom.com/s/fjallraven-kanken-backpack/3537484</a></p> <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-bag-what-are-you-using-love-ithate-it#post-2617768 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 10:29:08 +0000 Goldengirl 2617768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following!

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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-bag-what-are-you-using-love-ithate-it#post-2617737 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 09:47:11 +0000 theknest 2617737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p>
