Do you have one? Do you like it?
I'm thinking this may be the way to go with a toddler and newborn.
-
We used a regular backpack at first. I love having my hands free. I think a backpack diaper bag would be better since you have different pockets or compartments for keeping stuff.
-
@jhd: I think it will be amazing at museums or the playground when I need my hands free to pull my toddler from whatever she is about to jump off/destroy/smear all over herself
-
Has anyone with narrow shoulders bought one? I'd tried on a few at the store, including the Petunia Pickle Bottom Boxy, but found they slipped off my shoulders too easily. Maybe one they're weighted down a little they'd be more stable?
-
I bought the Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack to use as a diaper bag and I LOVE it! I use it for my 2.5 yr old and 9 month old.
-
@Astro Bee: You could consider one meant for hiking with chest clip. That's what we use pretty often and I really like it. I find there's plenty of room, if we are going to be outside for long periods I can easily stick a hydration pack in there so I don't have to worry about being out without water, there are lots of pockets for organization, and I can carry a ton of stuff without it hurting my back as much. We usually pack a lunch, cloth diapers for a full day, change of clothes, a woven wrap, first aid bag, camera, my phone, and other incidental stuff.

I have a North Face Recon. It's tactical, so lots of pockets and odds and ends. Really handy! I bought it at an REI.
-
North Face Isabella, it was my bag from college and is still in good shape.
-
I use a regular backpack with a skip hop changing pad. There aren't a lot of compartments but I don't mind since we're often switching up what we have in there. I find I lose more things in my bags with more pockets.
-
Ju-Ju-Be Right Back. I love it.
-
My DH uses a regular backpack. I think it'd be tricky for me since I wear an Ergo a lot
-
We use a regular backpack and I LOVE it! We had an over the shoulder diaper bag when we had LO2 and it was so annoying. I felt like it would slide off my shoulder or was just too much work. We switched to a regular backpack with multiple compartments and it is perfect for when we are out. I love being completely hands free!
-
North face recon! The one with the mesh pocket on the front instead of pull strings.
-
At the advice of a friend, I decided to go with a regular backpack as a diaper bag. I had a friend add more pockets to the inside. I'm still pregnant so I haven't had a chance to use it, but I think I'm going to like it a lot! I'm planning to use my Beco Gemini carrier, but I think it'll be a lot easier with a backpack than any other bag, even if it is a lot of straps!
-
Want to see my dream one? I have to sell a bunch of stuff if I really want it but I love it!!
-
@Mrs. Lovejoy: that's GORGEOUS!
-
@travelgirl1: Chapters and Zulily have some nice backpack bags
-
@Mrs. Lovejoy: Ahhh that is so nice!!
@lilyann: @renee: @gracecat: @creativemomma15: @creativemomma15: @PinkElephant: @cascademom: @Corduroy: @lavender: @blackbird: @Mrs. Twine: Thanks guys, I'll look into those options!
-
@travelgirl1: There are a lot of good deals on eBay for the PPB backpacks. I like that they come with the changing pads attached to the bags. I cant tell you how may changing pads i've lost.
-
I recently got a DadGear backpack and it's great. Lots of pockets, including one for wipes that's easily accessible. It's pretty comfy too...

We use a camelbak hydration backpack. We bought it for hiking before kids and it's still lasting strong through three kids. It has mesh side pockets for bottles/zippy cups and two zip up compartments plus the hydration compartments, which we love because it kept our own water bottles cold. I don't see a similar bag on their website.
-
@travelgirl1: I have this one from Patagonia and really like it. I can be a backpack or a tote.

Got a jujube right back pack. A little flashy for my taste but I love the functionality.
-
I love my PPB boxy! They're having an outlet sale right now so good prices!
-
We have the Fisher Price backpack diaper bag and even though there is a rip in the insulated bottle pocket, the bag has held up well for two years and is now on baby#2. I love having the wipes accessible without having to open the bag, it comes in handy in the car. One drawback is my daughter (2 years old) now realizes there is a dedicated pacifier pocket so she knows where to look when she wants one.

I have and love the fisher price one, but I am trying to upgrade because I carry it to work! I have been eyeing these but can't decide.
