But then I bought the Danzo on my habit a couple weeks ago for $150 (retail $300). The jj cole was just too cramped and wouldn't have lasted as long once LO is older and I need to carry around more stuff. I'm glad I have it though since I can just fill it up and leave it at daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-diaper-bag/page/2#post-658453 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 15:34:38 +0000 Running Elley 658453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing- mine was a gift from my dad! It's a Coach one that retails for over $300...

We use my old backpack from college (North Face brand). It has held up great as I graduated 7 years ago. LO is 9 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-diaper-bag/page/2#post-658344 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 14:57:38 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 658344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Laessig. I think it was $50-60, but got it as a gift. We're still using it almost 3 years later! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-diaper-bag/page/2#post-658314 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 14:49:34 +0000 Smurfette 658314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a Kate Spade messenger type bag at the outlets for $150. It was a splurge but I figure If I wont be carrying my normal bag I want it to be nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-diaper-bag/page/2#post-658304 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 14:47:30 +0000 twinmama 658304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the new bugaboo bag. It was $99 and worth every penny.</p> <p>I used a backpack for the first few months when I really needed to be as handsfree as possible and something that would work when I was using an ergo. But once the kids got older, it made me crazy to have to dig for stuff all the time. The bugaboo has pockets and zippers up the ying yang and even works well for cloth diapering and formula feeding twins. It's just designed really well and makes my life easier when we go out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-diaper-bag/page/2#post-658294 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 14:43:19 +0000 pinkcupcake 658294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This thread is making me realize I have too many diaper bags. I was gifted a Coach bag that I think was purchased for around $200. I also purchased another coach bag for about 180$ and the skip hip versa at BRU for about $50 after coupon. I recently bought the danzo hobo off my habit for approx $170 :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-diaper-bag/page/2#post-658278 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 14:39:07 +0000 sandy 658278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were gifted the skip hop duo when I was pregnant and I used it a lot until LO was 15 months...but it was always too crowded and small for me. The exterior pockets were basically useless bc it would crowd the interior of the bag. The zipper broke so I didn't want to take it on my flight across the country. Also once LO dropped her morning nap and we started going out for several hours everyday I needed a sturdier big bag for our outings. I couldn't imagine using the duo if I was formula feeding bc I had no room as it was. So I patiently waited for my birthday and my husband bought me the danzo diaper bag as my gift. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-diaper-bag/page/2#post-658272 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 14:36:47 +0000 SugarplumsMom 658272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I now alternate between 4 bags. I spent under $10 if I don't count the bags I already had.</p> <p>Similac freebie backpack - gift<br /> LV Wilshire GM - gift<br /> XL striped beach bag - $7.99 at Ross<br /> Large Hawaiian print bag (bought years ago on vacation) - $8?!

Mine isn't nearly as fancy but I wanted something that could be used outside of being a diaper bag. When I'm not using it DH uses it as a daypack for hiking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-diaper-bag#post-658231 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 14:25:14 +0000 Mrsbells 658231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$25 from walmart<br /> <a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/Baby-Boom-Jacquard-Tote-Diaper-Bag-Brown/16349576" rel="nofollow">http://www.walmart.com/ip/Baby-Boom-Jacquard-Tote-Diaper-Bag-Brown/16349576</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-diaper-bag#post-658227 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 14:24:02 +0000 BSB 658227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: @red_seattle: @purrpletulips: Just did a search on diaper bag backpacks and this one has some great reviews. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Okkatots-Travel-Baby-Depot-Backpack/dp/B007A3GU72/ref=sr_1_2?s=baby-products&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1363893107&#038;sr=1-2&#038;keywords=diaper+bag+backpack" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Okkatots-Travel-Baby-Depot-Backpack/dp/B007A3GU72/ref=sr_1_2?s=baby-products&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1363893107&#038;sr=1-2&#038;keywords=diaper+bag+backpack</a></p> <p>Color is kinda plain with no patterns, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-diaper-bag#post-658224 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 14:23:29 +0000 maybebaby 658224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I got that exact JJ Cole bag, pattern and everything. I LOVE it. that being said, i am still waiting to use it--but so far, i love the look of it and i have already started putting stuff in it and it seems spacious enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-diaper-bag#post-658162 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 14:07:52 +0000 MamaMoose 658162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Yes I love that it can be worn as a backpack or a messenger bag. I don't babywear often but I did when we traveled plane. It was SO nice to have the baby strapped to my front, the bag strapped to my back and my hands totally free. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-diaper-bag#post-658161 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 14:07:20 +0000 red_seattle 658161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: We wore our son in a Beco until he was 6 months-- we didn't use the stroller until then. He was in the front, and the backpack was on the back. It was a lot to carry around, but that is a problem with baby-wearing no matter what kind of bag you use. Now, at 16 months, we don't use the Beco often because he's getting heavy, so it's not really an issue anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-diaper-bag#post-658153 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 14:05:04 +0000 Mrs. Pen 658153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a bag off of bluefly that I love, it was on clearance for $40. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-diaper-bag#post-658148 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 14:03:53 +0000 BSB 658148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@purrpletulips: Cool, thanks.

I bought a LL Bean backpack for use when traveling. I also use my Thirty-One Metro Retro bag as a purse/diaper bag.</p> <p>I'm big on functionality outside of just being a diaper bag and am not a fan of a lot of little pockets so all of mine have big openings with very few pockets.</p> <p>@Bluestriped Bee: I use our Ergo and the backpack together all the time with LO is in the front carry; haven't tried it with back carry because I don't use that position very often and if I do DH has to carry the backpack </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-diaper-bag#post-658138 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 14:01:51 +0000 red_seattle 658138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$0. We use an old Jansport backpack that my husband never really used when it was his. I would love to have a cuter one, but this was lying around (free!), gets the job done, and my husband actually wears it and uses it. And he wouldn't if we had one that looked like a purse.</p> <p>ETA: One of the straps is coming off, so we'll need a new one soon if it can't be repaired. I'm not sure what we'll get because I would still like one that's somewhat masculine looking so that, again, my husband will actually use it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-diaper-bag#post-658129 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 13:59:19 +0000 Boheme 658129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Coach diaper bag, but my parents got it for me. I never, never would've spent the money. I plan on getting a second for DH to carry so he's not embarrassed by my girly purse-like diaper bag, but it'll be under $50. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-diaper-bag#post-658112 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 13:56:33 +0000 BSB 658112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Do you like the backpack type diaper bag? Danzo has one. Do you babywear? Can you wear your baby and use the back pack?</p> <p>I do prefer backpacks so the weight is off one shoulder but I plan to babywear so I don't know how practical it will be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-diaper-bag#post-658093 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 13:51:02 +0000 cascademom 658093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsRoo: I love it.
