Looking for some recommendations for a replacement for my diaper bag- preferably a backpack. My (almost) 2 year old definitely doesn't need a lot of the stuff in her diaper bag and my older daughter has been fully potty trained for quite some time now.
I will occasionally carry my North Face Isabella backpack but it makes me feel too much like a high school student. Looking for recs for a small adult backpack.

I totally want a back pack diaper bag for future #2 also. For now I use a cute pack pack I got from Target.
I'd want a Lily Jade (just google it!) or http://amzn.com/B00ECN00TM

I recently got a Boken bag. Although I guess it's not small but it can be used as a shoulder bag, cross body and back pack. I really like it.

Hm, I just own it and go with the NorthFace. Waaay easier to have both hands free, and DH and I both use it. Never occurred to me to get something different! I'm curious what something "more adult" looks like... maybe I can tell my MIL for Christmas!

I just asked for an under armour back pack for Christmas as a diaper bag when number 2 gets here. Haven't used it yet, but I decided i would rather have something j can continue to use for travel and whatever after my babies are bigger.
I do like the skip hop forma but decided to go more sporty.

I love my Ju-ju-be Be Right Back. It's a diaper bag backpack. Has cool features that are great for moms. Super cute prints... I have the Queen of the Nile print. It's pretty pricey... for me ($120 with a 20% coupon from BBB), but they are highly sought after and you can get 80-90% money back if you resell it.

They do have the BFF which looks like a regular diaper bag but has straps that you attach so you can wear on your back.

@bluestriped bee: I do really like the look at that one, just couldn't justify the price since I already got a regular diaper bag for my first. I sort of wish I had just registered for that the first time around.

What style do you like?

The longchamp backpack is a nice one that's more grown up/dressy.

@Foodnerd81: Right now, you could get a used one for way under retail. There were some good black friday deals. There was a BFF for $80.

My friend just sent me a link to this one yesterday. I like the detachable cooler feature and it looks like it's set up for easy organization. http://www.amazon.com/Obersee-Diaper-Backpack-Detachable-Cooler/dp/B00J7K8HDQ/ref=pd_cp_75_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=1H4E69D4T8FPDD3TR53J

@HazelEyes: we both wear NF backpacks too. I figure at least they're not Thomas or Dora bags!!

We use a Kipling Ravier backpack! Lots of fun colors and super light! I have a 2.5 year old in pull-ups and a 4 month old. Holds everything I need! I also keep a car bag stocked though so I don't need to carry too much with me. I LOVE using a backpack because I babywear. Plus it's a lot easier to chase the toddler around!!! I actually asked for another backpack for Christmas so I can switch things up. I love this one! http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/fjallraven-kanken-water-resistant-backpack/3833666?cm_mmc=Google_Product_Ads_pla_online-_-datafeed-_-women%3Abags%3Abackpack-_-822824&%3Bcountry=US&%3Bcurrency=USD&mr%3AreferralID=e19fb168-9d3c-11e5-b0f7-0050569451e5&gclid=CIjUit33yskCFchFXgodzRYMZQ
No bottle pockets but I BF and I'll just keep my/and toddler's waterbottles inside.

Update: the Lesportsac was way too small.
