Highly Recommended Diaper Bag

A back pack works great, and there are so many styles you can get one with how ever many pockets you need. Much easier to carry then a regular bag, and I used the small front pocket for my stuff so I did not need a purse.

The perfect diaper bag really depends on what you are looking for. We got a Skip Hop Dash Deluxe diaper bag and the pronto set. The main diaper bag has been great because of all the extra pockets and compartments, plus some nice choices of color. I also LOVE the stroller straps so that I don't have to cram the bag into the stroller basket or carry it the entire time I am walking around. We got the Pronto set for the times when we wouldn't need the entire diaper bag. It works great for when we know that if we need anything it will only be a quick diaper change. Of course I also find it easiest sometimes to just tote my "big" purse with a couple of the baby items in it. Helps to eliminate one extra bag.

S....
I also second the good old fashioned backpack. It worked well for us and my husband didnt have to carry around a "girl type" bag...which he appreciated

I bought a diaper bag and hated it. What I ended up doing that worked really well for me was to buy a travel diaper pad like this one: http://www.target.com/Munchkin-Travel-Diaper-Changing-Kit...

and convert a nice backpack I already had to a diaper bag. I found it much easier to carry the backpack than something on one shoulder and I didn't pay a lot of money to replace my first bag. I would recommend using something with a lot of pockets and storage space. It worked well when wearing my baby too and I had my hands free!

When shopping for a diaper bag you need to make sure that it is going to work for you and your baby. When I packed my son's bag I had a whole day's worth of necessities in there. I prefer the ones that are kindof like the duffel bag look with the adjustable strap or just the standard diaper bag kind. The duffle bag one that I like is at Target - I think it's the Eddie Bauer one(it's the silverish colored). Also pockets and compartments are great. What you will most likely be carrying in the diaper bag is diapers, wipes, 3-4 recieving blackets, 2-3 sets of clothes, plastic baggies for soiled clothes and/or stinky diapers to put in the trash, diaper rash creams, tylenol, gas med, formula (if not breastfeeding), couple of bottles and nipples, snacky stuff for when she gets older.....there is a ton of stuff that you will be hauling around in that bag. I carried the bag for close to two years and then got him a backpack with his favorite theme (CARS). So, when looking for that perfect diaper bag - you want many compartments, pockets and room to put everything in there. Try to visualize what the baby needs on a daily basis. Good luck and have fun picking out the diaper bag - I love shopping for diaper bags for my friends. The diaper bag that I chose was a baby blue with baby snoopy on it.....I loved that thing.

Hi,
I like the brand Oioi.. diaper bag.. it cleans up so nice.. and has lasted through 2 kids!! the side pockets are the best.. here is a website that sells them

I have had other bags and they fall apart. this one is stylish and since I don't carry a purse anymore I spent a litte more than I wanted.. but so worth it :)
