Backpack Diaperbag Recommendations?

Pottery Barn has one that my friend loves.

Colombia makes a back pack diaper that's great. I used it for my triplets when they were first born and it was very handy and versatile. I definitely needed both hands free and still do! Now that they're almost two, I need a bigger bag but I still use the back pack for quick trips to the doctor's office or whenever I have to go somewhere with just one child. Colombia also makes a diaper bag that looks like a workout bag - I have that one too. Much bigger and doesn't look feminine so hubby has no problem carrying it! Babies R Us is where I got both of them.

What we have done for all the kids born in my family for the last 10 years is the backpack diaper bag from Lands End. It it great for men and women to carry! We have our last name stiched on it and my husband is a huge White Sox fan it's black and grey and it hols everything for our daughter. Best by far around. My sister still uses hers when kids are sleeping over a grandma's house to pack their clothes. Good luck check it out!

Our babysherpa bag is virtually indestructible. We love it.

hi!
the skiphop backpack has tons of pockets and pouches inside of it. it also attaches to a stroller!
best of luck!

I used Petunia Picklebottom bags (pricey, but work well.) You can also try to go to bags.com and find a cute backpack type bag and use it as a diaper bag.

Good luck.

REI makes a great one, we have used that brand for all three kids. The big advantage of the backpack is having the ability to be completely handsfree without a bag on your shoulder swinging around while you deal with a baby. We have also used more traditional diaper bags ocassionally, but I always end up going back to the backpack. Also, its a very neutral bag, not so feminine like the Petunia Pickle bottom ones. And when it gets dirty, you just throw it in the wash.

I love my skip hop bag....check them out!

I had a back pack diaper bag from l.l. bean or someplace like that. I felt it wasn't big enough and that everything fell to the bottom of the bag never being able to find anything. My favorite diaper bag was a vera bradley bag that was sort of a hobo shaped it had pockets along the sides inside and pockets outside zipper and ones to fit sippy cups. It was blue with bumble bees on it so my husband didn't feel like it was too girlie. It's personal preverence.

We bought a Baby Bjorn backpack diaper bag 5 years ago and it has lasted through our 2 girls. They are now 5 and 2 1/2, and the diaper bag is in excellent shape!

Good luck,

I've had TONS of diaper bags, with four kids, we've needed them! I hated the backpack the most! It's too deep and things get lost forever at the bottom!! I personally LOVE the one's with the longer strap that you can sling over your body.
Good luck and congrats!!
Mom to four busy kids! :)

M.,
I have a great one from Land's End that was pretty reasonable. It has tons of pockets and comes with a huge changing pad that slides into the back of it. I highly recommend it!

The Urban Backpack Diaper Bag - by One Step Ahead - onestepahead.com

By far the best. And a good price!

I like my skip hop bag and they do some neat colors is if your husband is opposed to carring something too femine.

I have the backpack style bag from One step ahead. And it is HUGE! It's great when we have an all day outing, I have three kids and I can take a change of clothes for each, diapers for the baby, snacks and toys. And I can actually find everything. For me this is not a daily diaper bag. I have four other diaper bags that I use daily and I don't like any enough to recommend. Good luck with your hunt!

Mine is from the Gap, but I bought it online 5 years ago. They may still sell one.

I use the Land's End Backpack diaper bag and love it.

We got the JEEP backpack and it just stunk. Fell apart quickly.

Here's what not to get-the Eddie Bauer one. It never closed properly and didn't fit what we needed. Very impractical.

I love my babybjorn backpack! I found mine on ebay for cheaper than in the stores.

We have the black BabyBjorn diaper bag back pack and love it... it is very roomy, great for vacations!

It is much more resonably priced now. Good luck and congratulations on your baby!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know how much the diaper bags cost that are mentioned below, but I just got a regular BackPack at Target/Walmart? It cost approx. $25.00 and has been in use for 4 years now and is just starting to show signs of wear. It had a zippered top and then about half way down it zippered again so you had two seperate compartments. There were several other zippered areas and side pockets for juice cups or bottles. It cost a lot less than the ones geared for babies if cost is a factor.

Good Luck and congrats!

I got the one step ahead diaper bag/back pack. I loved it. Well worth $80. with my other children i got the $20 ones but had to buy several of them- they didnt last. I was very sad when someone stole my diaper bag at Spring hill mall.

Well, I thought I'd want a backpack too but have ended up using the freebie shoulder-strap bag that I got at the hospital when I gave birth to my daughter. It has held up well through two kids. I would wait to buy until you see what you get free at the hospital!

Petunia Pickle Bottom diaper (the square ones) bags are awesome. They include straps for them to be backpacks or regular carrying bags. They also include a changing pad which is attached the bag but can be separated for washing. I love the fact that there is a zipper so that none of my baby's small items fall out. A little pricey, but a GREAT investment. My sister-in-law has used her for all three of her children!

I have had many, mothership, petunia pickle bottom, back packs, my favorite has been skip hop sling bags! Great storage, color designs or just plain fabric, check out skip hop online, I think it is a great bag for hands free and both parents!
