Looking online today for a natural bag, but I defiantly want it to be practical too, what was your DB?
-
Paid $50 and it's still going strong 2.5 years later. Ive been happy with it.
-
I have a skip hop studio bag and think it is just ok. It has lots of pockets but still doesn't seem that organized, an it's too heavy for my liking, even empty. So I wouldn't really recommend that one.
I'm interested to see what others recommend.
-
If I could do it over again, I'd get the Molly from Better Life Bags. The bags are handmade, leather, and you design it yourself. I really love their mission to provide jobs to women in Detroit who wouldn't otherwise be able to get jobs.

I have the Skip Hop Duo in black. This was what I bought to downsize from the one I got originally (Skip Hop Grand Central), which was just too big for my needs. The Duo has several pockets, is sturdy, small, but still big enough to hold everything I need. Best of all, it didn't cost a lot, so if/when I get tired of it or I feel I want/need something else, I won't feel I am wasting a lot of money!

this would not be the only bag you need, but it is the bag that we have used the most. I can toss it into a bigger bag, hang it on the stroller, or take it by itself and it has all the essential to change a diaper. When LO was a baby, I also stuffed a spare onesie or sleeper in there.
DH takes it with him too and refers to it as the diaper bag.

I have a coach diaper bag I got from the outlets for $140. It's three years old and still looks brand new.
It looks more like a tote bag than a diaper bag, is roomy and has tons of pockets. I can fit both kids things in the bag and still carry it without it being too heavy.
-
I like my Skip Hop Duo Signature a lot. I had the Dash at first, but it was a little too small and the top didn't zip closed, so my stuff was always falling out.
The only thing missing on the Duo Signature is a key clip. The non-Signature Duo is missing the top zipper (which is super important IMO) and the briefcase-style handles (which are really nice).

I have a jujube BFF and LOVE it!

I have the Fisher Price Fastfinder Tote and it has been great for me - very practical with all the compartments and the wipes case on the side. And very neutral so my husband doesn't mind carrying it.

I have a Coach diaper bag from the outlet just like @Mrs. Jump Rope:. It's leather and has worked out really well. I am however going to need a bigger bag for ds plus the twins.
If anyone has a recommendation for a really big diaper bag I'm all ears.
@Ra: Those bags are gorgeous!
-
@marionberry: the Danzo bags are big.
I have a Storksak Olivia and Kate Spade Stevie and both had their pros and cons. After experiencing both I would probably go with the Stevie again. I just didn't have enough space in the Olivia.
-
I got a Kate Spade Harmony baby bag at one of the secret sales, and I really like it!
-
@marionberry: I think Mrs. Wagon is the diaper bag guru? She's got a pretty big one, the Danzo Weekender, if I'm remembering correctly!
-
I have the Skip Hop Duo Special Edition in Aztec. I love it. It's stylish, lightweight, and the perfect size. Plus, it was affordable.
-
@californiadreams: We keep that in our car and it's great. I've also thrown that in the basket of the stroller which is helpful because when we go somewhere and DH wants to change LO I don't have to hand him my whole bag or fish things out of it.
@marionberry: The MJ bags are huge. Like huge as in I've used them as overnight bags for when we stay at the hospital with LO for days. You can find them on ebay for less!
The Storksak Caroline is great because it has lots of large inside pockets which keeps it organized and a crossbody strap, but it isn't going to look like a handbag. The Kate Spade Stevie looks like a handbag but your shoulders can hurt after a while!
-
@night cheese: Oh that is cute...
-
@spaniellove: @LovelyPlum: @sunny: Thanks ladies for the advice! Gonna go look at each in detail now.

Another vote for Skip Hop Duo! I have this one (French Stripe). It is not huge but there are lots of pockets, it has special zipped pockets for diapers and for bottles, and it can work cross body or as a shoulder bag. It is also lightweight and the material is easy to clean.
-
I have what Catlady has on my registry!
-
I have a Coach diaper bag, and I don't remember the style but I hate it. Its too narrow and the strap is really uncomfortable.
I tried on a JuJuBe BFF and LOVED it. They had me test pack it to see how all my supplies fit, and it was so easy to find everything. -
Another vote for the Skip Hop Duo. I have a very plain brown one, and it's still going strong, my son is almost 4! I like it because I can carry it cross body.
If you pack a lot of stuff, it might be small, and the one big drawback about it is that it's deeper than it is wide, so stuff can get lost in the bottom.

Skip Hop Duo and Versa! Love these bags!
-
I love the skip hop duo for my toddler. We started out with the Vera Bradley, which was great for a small baby, but too big for when they are older. Then we had a Coach one that I hated. It was too narrow and the strap was really uncomfortable. Then I found a hand me down Skip Hop Duo that had been in the back of the closet since before LO was born. I love it, it fits in the First years Ignite stroller perfectly and holds all of our junk.
