That's a cute one. I'll probably just buy something cheap or use a back pack.

I don't really use a diaper bag... just whatever bag I have around. I don't use bottles really ever, so there's really no need. I just grab some diapers and snacks and go. Sometimes I take a sippy cup with juice, but Aidan uses a straw really well so we normally don't have to.

I'm with Que! I'll probably just do like I have done with my other 2, shove some diapers and travel wipes in my purse and keep an extra set of clothes in the car and that's it. Unless we are having a huge outting like a day at the zoo or children's museum then I'll pack more stuff. We're minimalists

That diaper bag is really cute! I like that it is black so it won't get dingy so fast. Also like that it's gender neutral.

I've been a fan of diaper bags long before mommyhood. So many pockets and ways to organize things.

On the other hand, I sort of feel bad spending $40 on another large bag when I already have 4 or 5 large totes at home that would work just as well.

I haven't decided exactly...mostly we'll just need something for wipes and diapers, since I'll be nursing. I liked some of the Carter's, and Eddie Bauer ones that I saw at Sears, but hubby tends to like the cute ones like with Winnie the Pooh, so we'll see. lol

OMG i LOVE that diaper bag!! I dont know what kind I want to get yet. But for a boy I would love the Green and black one!!

i got a free backpack type one from nestle and i love it!... lots of room ..lots of pockets and besides the shoulder straps there are two little straps that you can snap onto the stroller handle.
diaper bags are my best friend!!! i have to carry around bottles for my stepsons brother(6months) and diapers and extra clothes and underwear for my stepson and a sippy cup and snacks and i usually carry a change of clothes for my 6yr old too just incase.

I will most definately get a diaper bag...with a baby you never know what you will need....bottles, tylenol, gas drops etc and I always want to make sure I have enough diapers b/c sometimes there might be an accident with an upset tummy. I have not toted a diaper bag in 7 years so I sure mine will be stuffed! BTW that one is too cute!

Mom-Mom · #10 December 13th, 2009, 09:29 AM

I just upgraded my diaper bag. Lol. I used to use a mailbag type bag....i got it at walmart for $10 in the backpack aisle....now i upgraded to a 19" duffel bag, its got 2 big pockets on the ends, 2 big pockets on the front and them the main center compartment, and i only paid $15. It's got a leaf and ladybug print on it....i love it!!! It holds soooooo much!

GinaOfAllTrades · #11 December 13th, 2009, 09:37 AM

I haven't even begun to think of diaper bags yet.

iMama · #12 December 13th, 2009, 10:18 AM

I think this one is super cute, though I won't be buying it. $90 for a diaper bag is pretty obnoxious/excessive, but I was searching the Internet for them and it made me happy.

I looked at that one when I was pregnant with ds and loved it online, but you really need to look at it in person - the green is NEON green, no kidding. It's very, very green. If you like that, then it's totally for you! But the picture really does not show just how bright the green is... just an fyi.

I have three diaper bags... one Petunia Picklebottom Boxy Backpack that's chocolate with teal embroidered peacocks on it - gorgeous. My other two I bought on Mamabargains.com for 60% off and they're Fleurville Lexi Totes, one is a salmony-pink with a chocolate flower pattern and the other is the Geo-Bot print which is black and white with this awesome bright blue interior. I love them all!

I'll just keep the one that I have. I have a backpack one that I love. I had a messenger bag that I used for awhile with Ethan, but once he became mobile a back pack was just easier. Easier to carry him on my hip & easier to chase him around. Also, its just black, so DH isn't embarrased to carry it.

I think there are so many cute diaper bags out there but I think I'll go with a basic neutral color as well, for the hubby-embarrassment reason.

I'll be getting a new diaper bag. The one I have from my girls is too old.

Hollybear · #17 December 13th, 2009, 03:49 PM

Probably a Petunia Pickle Bottom or Fleurville Mothership one.
Petunia Pickle Bottom has this "Cake" collection that looks like real purses....I think if I have a girl I'll want something girly like that LOL

DH saw a Diaper Dude bag and said he wouldn't mind one of those FOR HIM since the ones I like are so overly girly

LOL that is so funny, I just said something about PPB and Fleurville bags!
I feel like I'll end up getting a PPB bag at first, only because when we were TTC it seemed like I was constantly looking at them for some reason. No idea what color, I want to wait until the last minute just in case tons of new colors come out

Do you have the fabric one or the new wipeable plastic-y ones? I don't really know what to get, and does a diaper bag get that dirty that it needs to be wiped down anyway??? (I really like the fabric ones)

Jilly*bean · #18 December 13th, 2009, 05:12 PM

My PPB is fabric. I have seen the plastic coated ones and I don't like the way they look as much. And if you need a Fleurville, I really recommend getting a Lexi Tote via Mamabargains.com - they're actually pretty big and I can't even imagine how much larger a Mothership bag would be!

GinaOfAllTrades · #19 December 13th, 2009, 05:45 PM

I was looking through my crafting stuff just now and found this printed out.

Mommy Organizational Center

I was going to make it for my BFF when she was pregnant and never got around to it. I love the way it looks and looks super easy to make. (Psst ... I am super picky and can't seem to find a diaper bag that I just LOVE).So I may try to make this. I would wait until I find out what we are having so I could coordinate the color fabric for whatever sex.
