There's this new print coming out very very soon and people are selling their bags at below retail prices. I got a legacy print Be prepared for a great price. Check out steals.com they have some BFFs and other styles. Quick tip, if you put it in your cart and not buy it, they sometimes email you a 15% code to buy your cart. I just found that trick out recently. Or if you wanted to try it, ebags.com has JJB and has free returns. You can use a 15% off coupon and then 8% back through ebates. Then return it if you don't like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-diaper-bag#post-2357204 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 16:05:20 +0000 BSB 2357204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found a Ju-ju-be BFF on clearance at BBB, but I like the BRB (backpack) a bit better. Those will be my everyday bag. I heard some moms (JJB lovers) switch between the BRB and the BFF. I did buy a used Be prepared from the Ju-ju-be B/S/T FB group. It's a bigger bag and I heard its good for twins or mom's with 2 kids or more. I'm thinking it will be great for longer trips out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-diaper-bag#post-2357048 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 12:44:43 +0000 ShootingStar 2357048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the Jujube BFF and I really like it. I also have a diaper clutch from Etsy that goes in it that I can grab if I just want diapers and wipes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-diaper-bag#post-2356997 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 11:53:58 +0000 gingerbebe 2356997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the bottomless pit of junk during the newborn days we used my Kate Spade but now we use the Skip Hop duo in black. It was originally DH's dad bag but now we just use it for everything. There's plenty of room left in it with a few diapers and what not so I'm hoping it will work for two as I get less paranoid about stuff as a STM. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-diaper-bag#post-2356992 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 11:48:34 +0000 Miss Sarah 2356992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm cheap, haha. I'm planning to use my Thirty One zip-top organizing utility tote. It has lots of pockets around the outside and it seems like a good size for the random stuff we'll be lugging around. I guess I'll find out how well it works once baby girl arrives! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-diaper-bag#post-2356964 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 11:09:32 +0000 yin 2356964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Tom Bihn diaper bag, and I love it! It's a messenger style bag, and there are so many compartments. It's comfortable while worn and gender neutral. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-diaper-bag#post-2356947 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 10:52:09 +0000 wrkbrk 2356947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: funny! Same - debated the patterns but ordered black :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-diaper-bag#post-2356943 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 10:50:54 +0000 SweetiePie 2356943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: I really like it! It's the most common bag I've seen in NYC, most of my mom friends recommended it. I liked some of the patterned ones a lot but just went with black because I figure it'll be more versatile and my husband wouldn't mind carrying it :silly: I got my sister a really pretty floral pattern for her daughter and she also loves the bag.<br /> I don't think you'll be disappointed in it :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-diaper-bag#post-2356939 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 10:43:04 +0000 Finfan 2356939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>North Face backpack.

I have a 2.5 year old and a almost 4 month old. I love how I can be hands free and it's light, easy to clean, and comes in fun colors! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-diaper-bag#post-2356933 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 10:38:17 +0000 bushelandapeck 2356933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Kate Spade Stevie and it's been great for two kids. Lots of space and easy to clean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-diaper-bag#post-2356931 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 10:36:42 +0000 wrkbrk 2356931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: us too! We bought a le sports sac diaper bag. It looks perfect but we haven't used it yet. Five days!! (Fingers crossed ...). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-diaper-bag#post-2356851 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 08:32:55 +0000 matador84 2356851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Timi and Leslie the Hannah bag. I love it. It has held up so we with two children close together in age, holds a tons of crap without being overly big and doesn't look like a diaper bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-diaper-bag#post-2356834 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 06:30:50 +0000 Charm54 2356834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a Kate Spade (not sure of the name but not the Stevie) as a gift. It does the job and looks pretty but I am not a fan ....there are no pockets, it shows dirt like crazy and had a hard time being clean. It's basically a bottomless pit. I would have preferred the more functional and way less costly Lug Tuktuk </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-diaper-bag#post-2356828 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 05:00:08 +0000 lamariniere 2356828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had an OiOi diaper bag but I'm extremely disappointed with it as it was looking very rough after just 16 months and the stroller strap was starting to break. Now I just use a little cotton tote for the diaper stuff that goes under the stroller and have a large tote bag for myself. I occasionally throw a few diapers and wipes into my tote if we aren't going far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-diaper-bag#post-2356677 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 21:17:50 +0000 twodoghouse 2356677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A Longchamp tote if I need all my stuff. A Longchamp backpack if I'm living dangerously. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-diaper-bag#post-2356673 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 21:15:57 +0000 winter_wonder 2356673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just bought a Lug diaper bag. It looks a tiny bit small, but I really like the pockets </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-diaper-bag#post-2356672 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 21:15:54 +0000 buttermilk 2356672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Lily Jade bag and I love it! Doesn't look like a diaper bag at all which is important to me. But it's very roomy. Right now probably too big since DD is only 3 months but I think all those pockets will come in handy soon enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-diaper-bag#post-2356599 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 19:14:22 +0000 gracecat 2356599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>northface backpack </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-diaper-bag#post-2356587 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 19:03:22 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2356587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Jujube Be Prepared. Right now it's a bit bigger than I need, but I think once I'm carrying toys, snacks, and larger diapers and clothes I'll fill it up. DH picked it out for me. If I had bought it myself I might have gone with the BFF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-diaper-bag#post-2356585 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 19:01:29 +0000 mrsrain 2356585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the skip hop duo, as well, but I'm not sure what to do when DS is born. I wonder if I'll need something roomier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-diaper-bag#post-2356575 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 18:49:08 +0000 SweetiePie 2356575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Le Sportsac diaper bag that we use for bigger adventures (like all day outings). It's roomy and I am carry most of the necessities no problem.<br /> For his first birthday he got this small Mickey Mouse backpack and we've been using that more and more. It's just big enough to fit a few diapers, pack of wipes, a book, snacks and water cup. So we use that if we're going to a class or the park or shopping. Any short outing or if I'll be alone taking public transportation and can't manage a big bag and him. </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00FA9HWZM/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?qid=1447544886&#038;sr=1-9&#038;refinements=p_lbr_characters_browse-bin%3AMickey+Mouse&#038;pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00FA9HWZM/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?qid=1447544886&#038;sr=1-9&#038;refinements=p_lbr_characters_browse-bin%3AMickey+Mouse&#038;pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-diaper-bag#post-2356527 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 17:24:36 +0000 erinbaderin 2356527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For most of the first year I just used a big purse - I bought a little makeup bag that was big enough for a few diapers and a pack of wipes. Now we usually use a backpack. I'm thinking once the second one arrives I'm going to need something new. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-diaper-bag#post-2356523 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 17:13:13 +0000 Mrs. D 2356523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, we use a school backpack! We take the bus a lot, so it's so much easier to travel with than a traditional diaperbag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-diaper-bag#post-2356519 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 17:05:57 +0000 LuLu Mom 2356519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now we use the Skip Hop Duo dipper bag, it's small and I like that. My last one was JJ Cole and it was just too big. I'm thinking of switching to a backpack soon, I like the convienece of it. What about you? </p>
