I'm looking for a new diaper bag that can carry all of baby and my stuff + 2 cloth diapers (we use sposies if we're out longer than 2 diapers will cover). So, CD mamas, does anyone have any recommendations?

I just use a purse with lots of pockets. I'm thinking of photographing it with all it's contents at some point...
I am not a fan of real diaper bags--too big!
And I use a vinyl placemat to change him on.
It's a Bungalow 360 purse , it is this Pocket Bag and I have the seahorse one. I LOVE it. It's a little small (can't see it working for a toddler with lots of food/bottles.
Here is what I keep in it.
Front small pockets: 1. cell phone 2. hand sanitizer, car key
Front larger pocket (velcro): spare outfit, 2 wetbags
Main (BIG) inside pocket: pouch sling, udder cover, small burp cloth, 2 spare cloth diapers and 2-6 disposables, disposable travel sized wipes, changing mat (placemat)
Inner pockets in middle zipper pocket: important mommy stuff, and lanolin
both side pockets: usually empty, perfect size for a 5 oz bottle (my Nuk, Avent, and Medela bottles fit) with a *small* freezer pack.
Back big pocket: camera, wallet, pen, mints, any other mom stuff I happen to need
It does not fit a big fold-up changing mat, but it fits all my stuff perfectly, with room for a little bit more. My LO is 2 months, and we use gDiapers.
The travel bag is nice if you need a bigger bag. AND it costs less than a "real" diaper bag.
The coated canvas bag could be a nice wetbag, but I just use a regular clear wet bag

I use a book bag as a diaper bag, and it has enough space for cloth diapers with a wet bag.

I use the Vera Bradley diaper bag, and DH uses a Skip Hop messenger bag.

I started with a skip hop duo, but I found it too small for CDing. Now I have a petunia pickle bottom boxy backpack and really like it. I can easily carry 4 cloth diapers, wipes, wet bag, nursing cover, bib, snacks, sippy cup, burp cloth, small toy, spare outfit, hand sanitizer, Clorox wipes, wallet, iPhone, chapstick, lipstick, kleenx, and a bottle of water with room leftover.

@Mrs. Jacks: oh I loooove the laessig bags... I have no idea how I am going to pick just ONE when the time comes!!

@owlmom: I was just looking at that bag and wondering how it would be cloth diapering. I take it it's worth the price then? $179 was pretty steep in my opinion but if it's worth it and will hold up for a few kids I could see it being reasonable.

@Beyond2: there are 2 patterns on sale at Nordstrom right now for $115, free shipping and free returns: http://shop.nordstrom.com/sr?keyword=petunia+pickle+bottom&origin=PredictiveSearch
PPB does a sale twice a year (I think), which is when I got mine for around $115 as well. Personally, that was a much easier price for me to stomach And I do think it will hold up for multiple kiddos.
