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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-diaper-bag-1#post-2524741 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 10:35:35 +0000 Portboston 2524741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@starlitsky: I think a few others can convert to a backpack as well. That's the way I primarily wear mine because my LO likes to be worn so a backpack is easier! When it's in backpack mode it's difficult to hang from a stroller but not impossible. I was thinking about putting carabiner clips on my stroller to make it easier. </p> <p>@ocean81: it can go in any bag! I'm not sure how the fit would be though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-diaper-bag-1#post-2524686 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 10:10:32 +0000 BSB 2524686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JenGirl: I have one as my mommy bag and it's great. I saw them being sold at my local Buy Buy Baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-diaper-bag-1#post-2524685 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 10:10:12 +0000 LulaBee 2524685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the So Young Charlie bag in black. Using it for my second kid now as her daycare bag- we use a lightweight backpack while out, but the Charlie bag is awesome and durable and I will absolutely use it when our diapering days are over. I got ours on sale at Gilt Group.</p> <p><a href="http://us.soyoung.ca/collections/charlie-bags" rel="nofollow">http://us.soyoung.ca/collections/charlie-bags</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-diaper-bag-1#post-2524681 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 10:09:31 +0000 JenGirl 2524681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: The BeClassy looks pretty awesome. I think I may have to find one to see it in person! And I've been really happy with the quality of the BFF, so I'd be thrilled to stick with JuJuBe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-diaper-bag-1#post-2524648 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 09:49:35 +0000 ocean81 2524648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Portboston: I'm having a senior moment. Does the organizer go in any bag? Or only theirs? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-diaper-bag-1#post-2524642 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 09:47:53 +0000 starlitsky 2524642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@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. </p> <p>@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? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-diaper-bag-1#post-2524555 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 09:11:42 +0000 Portboston 2524555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@starlitsky: I have the Madeline in brown leather. I looooove it!!! I got at a slight discount because they had it on the outlet site. <a href="http://www.lily-jade.com/Outlets-s/1818.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.lily-jade.com/Outlets-s/1818.htm</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-diaper-bag-1#post-2524387 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 07:10:35 +0000 brownepiano 2524387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@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! </p> <p>@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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-diaper-bag-1#post-2524363 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 06:27:09 +0000 starlitsky 2524363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Portboston: the lily jade bags look so nice! I like that they look more like a purse than a diaper bag. Which one do you have? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-diaper-bag-1#post-2524316 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 22:55:11 +0000 Portboston 2524316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@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.<br /> 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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-diaper-bag-1#post-2524284 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 21:54:04 +0000 SweetiePie 2524284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Portboston: I've never heard of Lily Jade till now. I just found this organizer and it looks so cool! Do you have any idea if these only go in their own bags or can they go into other brands too?<br /> <a href="https://www.lily-jade.com/baby-bag-s/1822.htm" rel="nofollow">https://www.lily-jade.com/baby-bag-s/1822.htm</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-diaper-bag-1#post-2524276 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 21:38:13 +0000 Rocker2014 2524276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-diaper-bag-1#post-2524258 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 21:21:18 +0000 cam 2524258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've really liked my Lug bag. I have the Hula Hoop but that's probably too small for you. My friend has a bigger one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-diaper-bag-1#post-2524250 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 21:13:02 +0000 Portboston 2524250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-diaper-bag-1#post-2524227 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 20:31:59 +0000 starlitsky 2524227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownepiano: the new ones have a zip top closure! Which one did you buy for LO2? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-diaper-bag-1#post-2524115 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 18:46:55 +0000 brownepiano 2524115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the skip hop duo and it drives me nuts! I actually bought something else to try with LO2. </p> <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-diaper-bag-1#post-2524099 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 18:26:11 +0000 snowjewelz 2524099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JenGirl: I mean, if I stuff the bag full and choose to put small things at the bottom then yeah, it's hard to get to; there are so many outer pockets for me to put all smaller knick knacks into. And I never pack it to be too heavy so in the 16 mo I've used it it has not tipped over. I am not gentle with this bag and it has held up very well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-diaper-bag-1#post-2524046 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 17:18:18 +0000 babynumber1 2524046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: I second skip hop duo. I LOVE mine!</p> <p>Mine doesn't have an issue with toppling over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-diaper-bag-1#post-2524037 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 17:09:16 +0000 Jennibenni 2524037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got a new diaper bag for a recent trip. The only thing you might not like about it is the size but loving it! The skip hop grand central. It's a neutra black and white stripe. All my stuff fits, easy access, lots of pockets! I tried the Duo but it was just too small for me and once I packed it everything was so jammed in there I couldn't easily get to what I needed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-diaper-bag-1#post-2524031 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 16:49:32 +0000 JenGirl 2524031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: &amp; @NCSUchick27: &amp; @LuLu Mom: Does the tall design of the bag make it tip over or make it difficult to find stuff in the main compartment? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-diaper-bag-1#post-2524006 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 16:21:07 +0000 SweetiePie 2524006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: same! Basic black le sport sac. It fits the bill for everything you mentioned, is sleek and simple, and definitely unisex. My husband said the same, he didn't want something with patterns that he would feel funny carrying. </p> <p>It is pricey, though. I was also really tempted by the skip hop duo. Very functional. I like that it has more structure than sportsac. To me it seems like less things would get lost in it. That's my only complaint about sportsac – because the material isn't structured it all it does feel like things move around and get lost easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-diaper-bag-1#post-2524004 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 16:18:19 +0000 catomd00 2524004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd look at the jj Cole satchel or caprice, skip hop duo double and the PBK Classic diaper bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-diaper-bag-1#post-2523976 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 15:52:57 +0000 Charm54 2523976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the Lug diaper bag.
