Maybe not like 10, but 3-5ish depending on the type? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-backpack-as-a-diaper-bag#post-2297778 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 07:11:47 +0000 LulaBee 2297778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: do you think that pack would fit cloth diapers? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-backpack-as-a-diaper-bag#post-2297471 Mon, 21 Sep 2015 16:55:32 +0000 MrsTiz 2297471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: I tried on the pretty blue one and liked it! Maybe not the best if you need a ton of pockets but it is comfy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-backpack-as-a-diaper-bag#post-2297418 Mon, 21 Sep 2015 15:36:22 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2297418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: yes, I really like it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-backpack-as-a-diaper-bag#post-2297370 Mon, 21 Sep 2015 14:42:37 +0000 ShootingStar 2297370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use this LL Bean one when we go on vacation. It doesn't have too many pockets, but I usually just throw in a diaper clutch and some snacks. </p> <p><a href="http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/86674?feat=506217-GN3&#038;page=stowaway-day-pack" rel="nofollow">http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/86674?feat=506217-GN3&#038;page=stowaway-day-pack</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-backpack-as-a-diaper-bag#post-2297328 Mon, 21 Sep 2015 14:09:02 +0000 avivoca 2297328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: I've been eyeing that one in a different color.

It's a price point I'm much more comfortable with.</p> <p>@ms.line: the ju-ju-be bff or the skip hop one? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-backpack-as-a-diaper-bag#post-2297314 Mon, 21 Sep 2015 13:58:18 +0000 raintreebee 2297314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have this MZ Wallace one. It is expensive, but I also carry professionally (It's like my purse/briefcase since I have a bad neck). It's not huge, but it is extremely light.<br /> <a href="http://www.mzwallace.com/shop/products/7660108-0000/black-oxford-metro-backpack" rel="nofollow">http://www.mzwallace.com/shop/products/7660108-0000/black-oxford-metro-backpack</a></p> <p>EDIT: I also have a fisher price one that is great for casual use.

It checks off all my boxes, it's inexpensive, cute, not girly (DH and I will share it) and has a few pockets.</p> <p>I'm going to really make an effort to not carry half the nursery with me this time around :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-backpack-as-a-diaper-bag#post-2297240 Mon, 21 Sep 2015 13:05:06 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2297240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: that's it!

The one I sent does convert to a backpack! I don't know why they don't show it well on their website. But, it's definitely not sporty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-backpack-as-a-diaper-bag#post-2297206 Mon, 21 Sep 2015 12:25:44 +0000 Foodnerd81 2297206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: my friend has the BFF and it just seems so wide to me. Like I can't picture it being that comfortable to wear like that, though my friend hasn't complained. But I'm going to go with a sportier one I can use after too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-backpack-as-a-diaper-bag#post-2297172 Mon, 21 Sep 2015 12:06:26 +0000 ladybee 2297172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I have the same reason for wanting a backpack. Like I said previously, I am considering the BFF but am having a hard time justifying the cost. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-backpack-as-a-diaper-bag#post-2297170 Mon, 21 Sep 2015 12:05:05 +0000 Foodnerd81 2297170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: I'm more worried about carrying the baby and keeping the toddler from running into traffic or leaping off a play structure with something over my shoulder to keep track of. I figure if it's on my back my arms are more free, plus like I said, I have a bad back anyway and a heavy bag on one shoulder hurts it. Maybe the toddler will be potty trained by then too though- I read a book about it so I'm practically there :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-backpack-as-a-diaper-bag#post-2297158 Mon, 21 Sep 2015 11:57:15 +0000 ladybee 2297158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Oatmeal: this one? <a href="http://www.skiphop.com/product/formadiaperbackpack.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.skiphop.com/product/formadiaperbackpack.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-backpack-as-a-diaper-bag#post-2297094 Mon, 21 Sep 2015 11:25:01 +0000 Truth Bombs 2297094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: yeah, my older LO is totally potty trained so I'll basically just be using a diaper bag for 1 again. I could see how it wouldn't be big enough for two in diapers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-backpack-as-a-diaper-bag#post-2296862 Mon, 21 Sep 2015 08:52:55 +0000 Foodnerd81 2296862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: I wish I had gotten something that the first time around- that's really pretty and will look nice as a bag even long after diapers. But with 2 now I'm thinking a sporty backpack is going to work better for me. </p> <p>Thanks for all the responses! I'm going to check them all out for sure. Part of me thinks I should wait until Christmas and ask for it (baby due mid December) but it would be nice to start using now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-backpack-as-a-diaper-bag#post-2296846 Mon, 21 Sep 2015 08:37:00 +0000 looch 2296846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Danzo backpack I bought from a flash sale site, I thought I would love all the clear plastic organization pockets, but it's not as fabulous as I had hoped.</p> <p>I am in the market for a sport pack now though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-backpack-as-a-diaper-bag#post-2296815 Mon, 21 Sep 2015 08:14:46 +0000 Truth Bombs 2296815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I'm going with this when it comes out in Navy sometime around Christmas <a href="https://www.lily-jade.com/designer-diaper-bags-p/m2cv-red_brw.htm" rel="nofollow">https://www.lily-jade.com/designer-diaper-bags-p/m2cv-red_brw.htm</a></p> <p>It converts to a backpack, and has an awesome inside organization unit that can be left in or pulled out depending on your preference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-backpack-as-a-diaper-bag#post-2296775 Mon, 21 Sep 2015 07:19:34 +0000 HappyBaker 2296775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just went through this and tried a bunch of the northface options on in a store, I felt like they were kind of heavy / bulky to begin with and I wanted as little weight as possible. I ended up going with this, which was way cheaper and worth the gamble:<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QGC49BW?psc=1&#038;redirect=true&#038;ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QGC49BW?psc=1&#038;redirect=true&#038;ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage</a></p> <p>The only downside is there's only one outside pocket for a cup/bottle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-backpack-as-a-diaper-bag#post-2296728 Mon, 21 Sep 2015 03:51:24 +0000 Torchwood 2296728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH got me a Vera Bradley, and it's worked great. Plenty of pockets (including the 2 side for bottles), and definitely pretty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-backpack-as-a-diaper-bag#post-2296726 Mon, 21 Sep 2015 02:40:12 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2296726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the Skip Hop backpack- I can't remember what it's called (versa??), and so far it's great. Lots of space, pretty cute, and plenty of compartments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-backpack-as-a-diaper-bag#post-2296511 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 17:31:49 +0000 Woolly Mammoth 2296511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the Patagonia Refugio 28L and love it! It has a large interior pocket for diapers, spare clothes, and snacks, a small outer pocket for my wallet and glasses, a little pocket for my phone, and a sleeve for a tablet. It has two exterior mesh pockets for our water bottles. It's really cute too - I have the underwater blue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-backpack-as-a-diaper-bag#post-2296506 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 17:24:50 +0000 Ginabean3 2296506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: oh I love dark purple!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-backpack-as-a-diaper-bag#post-2296450 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 15:49:08 +0000 ladybee 2296450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ginabean3: Oh thanks!

The materials perfect because it wipes up easily if something gets spilled! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-backpack-as-a-diaper-bag#post-2296442 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 15:35:55 +0000 Ginabean3 2296442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: that bag is beautiful! I'm obsessed with backpacks because it's just easier with two (2.5 yr old and 7 wk old) and I already have a Longchamp tote...love that brand....I just might put that on my Christmas list. 😉 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-backpack-as-a-diaper-bag#post-2296438 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 15:29:06 +0000 twodoghouse 2296438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now that my LOs (16 month twins) are a little older I carry a Longchamp backpack. It is small, but I basically only pack diapers and wipes, a snack, a board book, and small water cups for each kid. The school backpacks make me feel 7 so I love that it's a backpack but cute. </p>
