I still like my Jujube Be Right Back backpack diaper bag. I do wish it was a smidge bigger. I own the Be Prepared but that's a bit too big for an everyday bag.

Kind of? I have a Skip Hop Duo.. We def still use it when we're gonna be out all day or have a lot to pack. It's roomy, lots of compartments, water proof and I'm not afraid to get it dirty! But for everyday I switch to just using my long champ; and if I need my hands I have a backpack.

I like my Skip Hop Duo, but I'm not sure if it will be big enough for two kids.

I wish I had gone with a backpack style
My shoulder bag always slips off.

No. I got the skip hop studio and it was very meh. I have a regular backpack now that I have two kids and it's not perfect but way better. I also have two flights of stairs to get out of the condo so it's priceless to have the bag be totally hands free.

No. I had a skiphop duo and it was driving me nuts. This time I got a used bumblebee or something like that and I already like it better. I am looking forward to a year from now when I can ditch the diaper bag again.

I love my Be Right Back. We're using it more with sports and two kids. It's my main diaper bag. I gave my old ones away.

Not at all. I stopped using mine after like a month. I just use a normal bag with diaper insert now. It works better for me since I use a different kind of bag depending on where Im going, how long Im gone for, and if I'm babywearing. So the one-size-fit-all-days bag just didnt work for me.

@cascademom: That's what I have. I love it. For some reason, I wrote BFF originally but I have the BRB. (I edited it now.)

We got the Fisher Price backpack. It's been great! I do wish it had more compartments, though. But yeah, we take that thing everywhere.

Have an older Kate Spade (Serena) and still use it with my 2 year old -- gearing up for it to support 2 kiddos this fall!

I have a SkioHop Duo and just today I decided I'm tired of it. It's too tall and just becomes a bottomless pit when I try to find something. I ordered a backpack today and I'm hoping that will work better.

Yes and no. I have a Skip Hop Duo and it's been fine so far since we really don't bring much when we're out (DD is 10 weeks), but I can see myself disliking it when she gets older and we need to cart around more stuff. It's tall and narrow and can be hard to find things in.

Yup! Still love my Thirty One zip-top organizing tote! I also got the Jujube Be Quick to hook onto my carrier for runs into the store or to a park and really like that as well.

I've never loved mine. I had a JJ Cole Mode to start and quickly switched to a Skip Hop Duo, which is what we still use now (when we even remember to bring it). I just find that stuff gets lost so easily inside diaper bags. The Duo was better because it was better organized but it is still tall. These days, I tend to just grab what I need and throw them in my own handbag (usually a tote). Not sure what we will do when #2 comes along. I may get one of those organizers that turns a normal bag into a diaper bag.

Nah. I'd prefer a backpack. DH did a lot of research and surprised me with my bag last year for Mother's Day. I hate to replace it! I have the Ju Ju Be Be Prepared and it's too big. I really don't have to carry around that much stuff. I like the brand though. It's easy to keep clean.
hostess / wonderful apple seed / 16729 posts
@Mrs. Pickle: I have a Be Prepared, too. I use it for weekend trips and when we travel. It is big and you can easily overpack it and gets really heavy.

I got a So Young Charlie and I like it for weekends but for an every day bag it was always too big. I ended up buying a zippered makeup bag and keeping a few diapers and wipes in it in my purse. For #2 I got a Skip Hop Duo and I like it much better.

@Miss Sarah: I use a Be Quick as a purse on the weekends and another one for all of the baby's diaper needs.

@cascademom: It is so pretty, it'd be a great little clutch.... Hmm, maybe I need another?

I like to be light on stuff. I still love my madewell backpack my SIL gave me. i would use it even if I didn't have E

Our skip hop backpack is still great. It wasn't too expensive and does everything we need it to.

I never really liked mine but it doesn't annoy me enough to do anything about it. I do avoid using it if possible. I have a stork sak.

I still really like my Skip Hop Forma. It's on the large side, but I like that, because I tend to over pack.
nectarine / 2173 posts
I still like mine but find that I use it less and less as LO doesn't need as much as often. For short trips I just grab the diaper clutch.

I recently switched from the Skip Hop Duo to the Skip Hop Forma and I love the Forma! It's a backpack so it's easy to wear when I'm wearing DS and it's got just the right amount of room and isn't too deep like the Duo was.
grapefruit / 4770 posts
Hate it! I have the skip hop duo. It's too deep, and overall just becomes a black hole. For next baby, or even for Christmas I may ask for the jujube bff or be right back. I think the bff may have the organization I'm looking for but still able to be worn on my back. The skip hop hurts my shoulders and slides off and is uncomfortable when trying to baby wear or carry the baby.

Finally, yes! Our stroller is the "car" 90% of the time so I needed something functional hanging from the hooks. I started with a skip hop versa which was pretty good or a Mia bossi tote (the Emma) for days I needed more stuff or for traveling. But then I found the Mia bossi Katie on sale on Amazon...... loooooove . Love the pockets, size, end pockets. And it's easily accessible from the stroller for city living without gaping open.

I started with a Skip Hop Duo, which I hated from the start. It was simultaneously too big and didn't hold enough. I switched to a Kate Spade Serena and love it!
nectarine / 2951 posts
I have the Skip Hop Versa and use that mostly. I also was given a Vera Bradley one, but I don't like that I can't wear it like a messenger bag.

I kind of hate mine actually. It's a Skip Hop Duo. I feel like it's always full and I'm cramming more stuff in the top. I never carry it anymore, I just stick it in the van. If DH is with us I can hang it from his chair, so that's convenient

@macintosh: I agree! I wish it had more vertical space so I wasn't just piling stuff on top.
cantaloupe / 6634 posts
@Rocker2014: That's exactly how I feel about it! I feel like it's huge but not a lot of space.

I became very disappointed with mine, but because of the quality, the style and functionality were still good. I bought a leather, handbag style diaper bag and it started falling apart after less than a year. I take good care of my things so it wasn't because I was throwing it around. I regret that purchase.

I like mine a lot. I wish it had a bit more structure, but it's not a deal breaker.
I have the Le Sport Sac diaper bag.
pomelo / 5000 posts
No. I went with a smaller, regular backpack b/c I did more babywearing and wanted something I couldn't overload and was gender neutral. But there are too many compartments and things get lost easily in it, and none of those compartments are big enough.
