Looking for the BEST Diaper Bag
Anyone just love their diaper bag? I am looking for something that has lots of compartments and just works! I have an Eddie Bauer Weekender bag, it's alright and I have a Carters suede diaper bag. They serve their purpose, but I want something that is just great. I have 2 little boys, 3.5 yo and 1.5 yo and I have another baby on the way. I want something that will serve all 3! Thanks for any recommendations!

Thirty One Gifts have great bags! A lot of the moms in my area carry the Cindy Tote - it's very roomy. Purchase the zipper pouches to store things in and organize in the tote to keep items separated. Here is my consultants site: http://www.mythirtyone.com/Laurie31gifts/ - Best Wishes!

I also have a backpack that I use for a diaper bag. Ours doesn't have a lot of inside compartments, but I don't need them. I use the "water bottle" pocket for sippy cups, and the front pockets for snacks. It's wide enough for my folded diaper changing pad along the back. I find it a lot more compact and portable than the big diaper bag DH prefers to lug around. If you got a backpack with more pockets, you could have compartments organized per kid. And if you do it right, you could wear the baby and still wear a backpack, too.

We have an L.L. Bean back pack that we use and love. I agree. The backpack is the way to go and then you can still use it later as the kids get older.

ME!!! But I just used a backpack. Held everything I needed (including an entire change of clothes for kiddo and I in case of "Dang!" accidents / diaper explosions/ *how* does vomit ignore the laws of physics... in ziplock bags... that the icky cloths would go into during the change), easy to carry, and about 1/2 as much $ wise as anything with the word "baby" or "diaper" in it. I kept "everything" in the big pouch, and grab and go things in the small pouch... 1 or 2 diapers (half a box of them in the big pouch), wipes, juice, sunscreen.

I agree with the backpack idea...I think you're past needing a diaper bag. YOu can get great backpacks with TONS of compartments.
