Your diaper bag 2 years later

[lea]

 I want a new bag. I don't need a new bag and don't have the money but I still want one. I've been looking at different purse-style diaper bags figuring if we have a #3 it will get more use even though I'm currently downsized from this LO. So far I've had the Skip Hop Studio, the JJ Cole Satchel, and an LL Bean diaper bag that gets used when we leave DS2 places like the church nursery. I also sometimes use a Thirty-One tote.

So out of curiosity, what have you used/are currently using and how do you like it this far in?

Um, my purse with a spare diaper and small pack of wipes thrown in? We do keep a canvas tote bag in the car with a couple extra diapers, change of clothes, more wipes, and disposable bibs that we can pull from as needed.

I used to use a Kate Spade duper bag tote and I loved it. Now (for about the last year) I use a Skip Hop back pack when we are gone longer than just a little bit. It has some toys diapers wipes and other misc stuff in it and when it's not too heavy, he can carry it himsetlf.

hmmm... if we're on a short trip I might stick a couple diapers and wipes in my purse. I have a back pack for longer outings, works for diapers and spare clothes plus stuff that would go in my purse. The backpack is easier to wear, more durable, and fits all the stuff better. I'm all about efficiency. Oh, and wearing it makes chasing multiple toddlers easier- A huge must for me. And I can throw it in the wash, bonus points!

I still use my diaper bag. I have the JuJuBe BFF bag and like it a lot. It is a lot emptier these days, but I like that I can wear it as a back pack and keep my hands free. I can also fit my DSLR camera in it when we are out somewhere that I might want to take pictures which is a bonus for me. I will definitely keep using it when #2 comes.

I am a diaper bag lover, I'm an overpacker. I have snacks, drinks, Tylenol, Benadryl, wipes, clothes for both kids, diapers and assorted matchbox cars in it. Without it I feel naked.

I forgot to add it's a Vera Bradley bag, I got it second hand and it has held up beautifully.

Me, too!

I have a Kate Spade diaper bag and I love it. It's the Stevie style. (I got it shipped to me from a outlet store so it wasn't as bad in price.) it doesnt, however, have a shoulder strap which I knew I would need once we have #2 to keep my arms free.

So, I became a diaper bag whore and bought myself the Tory Burch bag I wanted. I judged myself, but decided eff it, I don't care. It's still in the pretty box waiting for number 2 to get here. It has ton of space for the stuff I like to have for DD plus the new baby's stuff.

I still use my Petunia PB boxy backpack. I hate purses. I usually wear it as a backpack vs a shoulder bag. It's definitely a lot emptier these days though.

^^wss just a bigger purse with a small package of wipes and a diaper.  Its big enough I can throw her lunch box in it if we are going out to eat.

i don't think I could becuase i have P. If I am out with both kids alone, i wear a Jujube BFF backpack. If we are out with the stroller I have a jujube be prepared that can fit underneath, but that one usually lives in the car with extra stuff. I use a skip hop to go to daycare.

Basically I change bags based on what we are doing/who i have with me and how long we will be out.

I had a petunia picklebottom that I used when he was little, now I just carry a large purse with a Ziploc holding a diper, wipes, and change of clothes thrown in. I keep small toys and snacks in there as well.

Here, too. For shipping off or extended trips I just have a small Thirty One bag that fits dipes, wipes and a change of clothes. But I'm a minimalist, for the longest time I only had a wristlet to throw in either a diaper or computer bag, to make one less thing to carry.
