My DH and I found that a backpack was the best diaper bag. It is durable, black and has lots of pockets, and left room in our arms for the baby. Also, I could hang it from the stroller handles. We don't need diapers anymore but we still carry a change of clothes, an extra sweater, water, snack, etc.

Yes, I have a navy and suede Eddie Bauer bag that Dan picked out when I was pregnant. I just don't like it.. I need more personality!

And Tiffany.. hello? I'm sure you'd get a discount!

Yes, I really like the wine dragonfly Sally Spicer on your site but I just can't fork over $90.. it goes against something inside of me! lol Maybe once I break my new diaper bag in and the love rubs off I won't be so against spending the equivalent of 5 diapers for a diaper bag, kwim?

Seriously, one of the reasons I started selling bags is so I could justify having more than one! :LOL

I'm a big time baglady too :LOL. Those Sally Spicers are really nice looking. I just wish I could see one, feel the fabric, zip the zippers and hang it from my shoulder.

I know what you mean girl, I know what you mean. Oh and I'm not a bag lady at all! I refused to carry a purse until I was 22 and then only carried one until 23 and haven't since! I only want a nice diaper bag because it's mandatory that I carry one! :LOL

Awww, thank you! You'll have to show me what you end up with!

A diaper bag is like a signature, it's so personal!

Geez, you just had to put up that link!

Those bags are just so cute!

I use a small size back pack from Eddie Bauer. It's green, and lasted us thru 2 kids so far. Just the right size too. Not the standard size back pack, but one size smaller, so it's never too big, but I can sure stuff it if I need to.

I love having a back pack. I've tried bags with long straps and handles and such, and with a kid in tote, even with baby in the sling, those bags have a tendency to slideeeeeee down my arm and always end up hanging off of me.

It was treated with a waterproofing, but is pretty much worn off now, I wonder how to get a coat back on it?? What is an eco-coat?

I was designing yet another bag when I noticed that FMBG stocked. I decided to drop $$ on dipes instead! :LOL Now, if only I could get a bag to match the Plum Crane Origami print....

Honestly, no, nor am i 'into' neat wet bags, per se. I've just had one thing or the other, and they all 'work' relatively well. i did just buy a very pretty robin's egg blue outer/fuschia inner bag from BRU recently. It's beautiful for spring, and very stylish!

Well I splurged on my dipe bag. I just had too, most bags never seem to be big enought for me(even tho I love a cute small bag, they just don't work for me!

I just got my new one this week from happy tushies. She custom made this for me and it was worth the wait. I'm really picky about, oh, everything:LOL , and she did a perfect job.
I specified the length of the straps so I can wear it like a shoulder bag, I think I even asked for think straps. I also asked for a thicker weight outer material, it's a soft courdory. There are pockets all along the interior and one on each side on the outside.
She custom dyed it, make it larger, made a flat bottom for me and then added a panel on the top(which had to be zippered) so the panel can pop up or be pushed down depending how full my bag is.
She was a dream to work with, I just told her how picky I was and what I wanted and poof, I got my dream bag!

I'll take pics soon

You gals are such bad influences! I hadn't really thought of my diaper bag as being sub-par, but now you've got me thinking. I'm probably going to break down and start looking for a new one!

But, I love mine (well, I have two). The one I use most of the time is a Vera Bradley baby bag. I LOVE their prints! I do wish it had a zippered pocket on the inside, but other than that I think it's a great bag.

Add me to the list of those obsessed with diaper bags! I have SEVEN sitting in the closet that I went through in my two-year search for the perfect bag! Every one I tried was either too big, too small, or just not cute enough. Last summer I got my Petunia Picklebottom as a gift, and I've been carrying it ever since. I love it - although it's still not my "ideal" diaper bag. *sigh* I'm sure it's out there somewhere, I just don't know where....

Those Ella bags look kinda cool though...
