Does anyone have a diaper bag recommendation?
Right now I have the Skip Hop Dash. I need something a little bigger (but not gigantic). I like Skip Hop, so I'm considering one of their larger bags (like the Duo), but I don't really like the magnetic closures.
I usually have the bag clipped to the stroller, but I sometimes carry it like a purse. LO doesn't take a bottle or pacifier, but I like to carry a sippy cup and snacks.
Thanks!

@Woolly Mammoth: we don't really use a diaper bag anymore, but we used to have the backpack type...is that something that could work? Or what if you got something that was more like a tote and less of a diaper bag, so that you can use it for several more years. Something stylish maybe?

@Bao: I'm definitely open to non-diaper bags but I like being able to clip it to the stroller securely. I do have a backpack that I use sometimes (especially when I'm using the ergo).

@Woolly Mammoth: yeah that does make it easier doesn't it...hmm. Well I've become so minimal I just throw a few necessities in the stroller basket and go 
I guess that's what two kids does to ya!

I have the Skip Hop Bento (in mustard) and love it. Granted I've only been using it for 10 weeks with a new born, but it's great. Definitely on the larger side but it's never been burdensome and I don't feel like we'll need another bag for the toddler years. My DH enjoys carrying it, too.

I have the Skip Hop Duo and I love it. The main compartment closes by a magnet but the magnet itself is really wide so things don't really fall out even when it tips over. And there are two easy access sections on the sides for bottles/sippy cups/snacks. There are two zippered compartments on the top where I keep my wallet and other things I'd want zipped up.

I traded in my skip hop versi for this one: http://www.amazon.com/Storksak-Diaper-Bag-Tote-Yellow/dp/B00BT2QLSI/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1405168384&sr=8-4&keywords=Storksak
I really like it, I can fit a ton of stuff in it and it's really light. It has stroller straps, a long canvas strap, or you can carry it as a shoulder bag.

Petunia Pickle Bottom! Sashay Satchel or boxy backpack. Check eBay or CL for a good price, or watch for a sale. They have amazing customer service and warranties. ETA you can get stroller clips, and both of those bags can be worn as a backpack, or with the long strap.

@CRGmama: PPB needs to make a bag that's in between the boxy backpack and the wistful weekender. The backpack is too small for me and the weekender is too big. Is the sashay satchel the same size as the backpack?

@swedishfish: the sashay is probably a little smaller. There's the abundance boxy which is bigger than the standard boxy.

Thanks everyone, I might have to find a store where I can compare some bags in person!
