I went through 3 before finding my BumbleBag. It is way more than I wanted to spend, but had already spent more than that on the others that weren't working. I LOVE it!! I have the messenger bag version, but have never had an issue with it and I have a 2 year old and a 12 week old.

I love a backpack I just got from Lands End. it has a crazy amount of compartments, great for organizing things. It doesn't have a flat bottom, but it has a great clip for clipping onto strollers, etc.
It fits everything I need for my toddler and baby. Really nice quality too! Super durable, super cheap.

I have a Fleurville that I love! They were far too expensive to buy new, so I actually bought mine off Craigslist, practically new, from a seller in San Fransisco who was kind enough to ship it to me.

I became a mom at age 50, so style was not a concern of mine, only what was most practical & comfortable . We went with a backpak style bag, and I am still using it (although not as much) with my 3+ year old. We got a black Eddie Bauer one, and found it had everything we needed. We also use it for airline travel, and it holds a ton. Also, it was nice for my husband, so he doesn't look like he is carrying a purse when he has my daughter.

It has a lot of compartments including and insulated bottle pocket. the strap was comfortable and long enough to wear across the body. You can also hang it from your stroller using special straps. It totally fit my needs and I contiue to use it when we are going to be out all day to carry lunches and snacks.

I absolutely LOVE my Ju-Ju-Be. They can be a little pricey but they are SOOO worth it. Check out their website and there's photos and videos. They have tons of sizes. They are super cute and perfectly designed. They have really great changing pads and tons of little features. I have a bunch of the extras too: the sippy cup cooler, the snack holder, and the changing station thing for extra clothes. LOVE IT. Its comfy to wear too. I have the Be All, because I put tons of snacks and clothes and activities for my preschooler in too. It was nice for carring the foldup portable potty seat too, it slid nicely back by the changing bad. They are really easy to clean which I like. I also have a....darn it. Be Small maybe? Its the small back made for quick trips or the car? I leave it in the car with 3 diapers and a small flat pack of baby wipes and a back of antibaterial wipes for faces. I love having it in the car all the time. Then if I just have a quick run to Target I don't take the big bag.
But I do have to say I really love the new diaper bags from Miche. I love my Miche bag purse (www.michebag.com) and am totally addicted to the shells...but the big bag is the perfect size and they started making some really cute shells tha can be diaper bags. But it can still be a purse when you dont' want to put sippy cups and bottles and stuff in the pockets because they are so darn beautiful!

We got a large Jansport backpack for several reasons:
Lifetime guarantee so my son can use it once he starts school
It goes on the back so it's easier to carry
My husband is comfortable toting it around
