It doesn't have a million pockets but a year and a half in and I'm not complaining :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-use-a-non-diaper-bag-bag#post-1133863 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 21:23:38 +0000 Foodnerd81 1133863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always carry way too much stuff and use a regular diaper bag (skip hop studio). I should pair down but I feel like I need to have everything all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-use-a-non-diaper-bag-bag#post-1133827 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 20:49:33 +0000 lovehoneybee 1133827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a PPB but now use a messenger bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-use-a-non-diaper-bag-bag#post-1133822 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 20:45:55 +0000 rachiecakes 1133822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was gifted a PPB but ended up using one of my totes more often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-use-a-non-diaper-bag-bag#post-1133818 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 20:41:02 +0000 shellio 1133818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like @boots, we've never brought a ton of stuff with us when we go out. We used a backpack we already had, and also often used a small double-sided wet bag we received as a gift. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-use-a-non-diaper-bag-bag#post-1133785 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 20:03:03 +0000 Penny Lane 1133785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just bought a normal handbag with lots of pockets! it's perfect </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-use-a-non-diaper-bag-bag#post-1133680 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 17:42:51 +0000 JessKas 1133680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought an old medic bag from an army supply store. It's great for both my husband and myself, has lots of pockets, and was only $22. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-use-a-non-diaper-bag-bag#post-1133669 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 17:33:31 +0000 mrstilly 1133669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When DS was an infant we used a Skip Hop Duo that we got at our shower. It wasn't the best, but it worked well enough and DH didn't mind carrying it since we got it in black.<br /> DS started daycare at 5 mos and we use an old Timbuk2 messenger bag that I had for his daycare bag. It has worked great.<br /> Now that he's 2 1/2 yrs I just use a JuJuBe Be Quick which holds a travel wipes case, 2 diapers or pullups and a travel size diaper cream. I keep it in my car at all times to avoid being out and about without a diaper.<br /> For longer trips I use a small sports duffel bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-use-a-non-diaper-bag-bag#post-1133668 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 17:32:53 +0000 holdonforonemoreday 1133668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used a Lug Puddlejumper for most of my kids' infancies. I loved it as I could carry a small arsenal of diapers, a package of wipes and changes of clothes. It was big but plenty of room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-use-a-non-diaper-bag-bag#post-1133592 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 16:00:22 +0000 aprk 1133592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use a $15 LAnds End backpack and love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-use-a-non-diaper-bag-bag#post-1133590 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 15:58:17 +0000 lamariniere 1133590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I mostly used a Fjallraven backpack that I already owned. I also used a tote that I already owned when not using the backpack. I never bought an actual diaper bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-use-a-non-diaper-bag-bag#post-1133586 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 15:56:05 +0000 boots 1133586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just bought a purse organizer and put it in my existing bags.I've never had to bring a ton of stuff when we go out, so it works perfectly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-use-a-non-diaper-bag-bag#post-1133570 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 15:44:29 +0000 swedishfish 1133570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have two Petunia Pickle Bottoms - a boxy backpack and a wistful weekender.

Love it! So easy to carry, large enough to hold anything, but cinches down for smaller loads. Gender neutral, several compartments. AND we got it for free with a promotional gift card! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-use-a-non-diaper-bag-bag#post-1133545 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 15:27:45 +0000 runsyellowlites 1133545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used one of 2 dickies tote bags I had from when I was still taking classes... smaller one for regular day &amp; the larger one when we make a day trip oot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-use-a-non-diaper-bag-bag#post-1133542 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 15:25:52 +0000 avivoca 1133542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sewed a tote bag to use as my baby bag.

I wanted something that I would continue using post baby phase too- and I do! Love it. And it was significantly cheaper than a diaper bag.</p> <p>Anyone else buy a baby bag that isn't a diaper bag? </p>
