Searching for CHIC and FUNCTIONAL Diaper Bag!

My suggestion is to buy a Vera Bradley bag (not the diaper bag) and it is perfect when you are running out for a few hours. I have two childrend and with my first I carried around a diaper bag which I always complained about how bulky it was. Now I just carrie around my Vera bag and love it. I am not sure the name of the one I have, but it has pockets inside perfect for bottles, juice or whatever you might need. Good luck with your search.

I am getting ready to purchase a new Vera Bradley bag! They are very cute and high quality - a friend just showed me her "collection" of Vera Bradley's and I fell in love!

Skip Hop has a lot of options, they are cute, and hold up really well. I love mine! www.skiphop.com

I love my Juicy Couture bag ... I get so many compliments and it's very functional!

When you read the makers story and see her products you will fall in love with her. She is a STAY AT HOME MOM!!! These bags are fabulous and I have several. At least click on the link and read her story. If she does not have a bag right now to suit your needs e-mail her.

There are so many out there! I am somewhat of a diaper bag junkie! I have two kids and about 10 different diaper bags and there is something that I love about each one! I started out with a great black microfiber Kate Spade diaper bag that I still love and use for my infant, however it is not as functional for my toddler. I bought a Fleurville Mothership diaper bag that I love and it is a great bag also. I have a Petunia Pickle Bottom diaper bag that I really love, but you really have to be careful because they are hard to clean - I am guilty of setting my diaper bag down everywhere! I bought a Diaper Dude Messenger bag for my husband as he thinks that the other diaper bags I have are way to girlie! I also bought a great Skip Hop backpack that is great for excursions to places like Sea World, the zoo, etc. I most recently purchased the Caden Lane Liam diaper bag which is really cute and functional. The bags I tend to use a lot though are big cloth bags that I bought from Swoozies that I had personalized with the kids names on them! They are huge and are great to keep in the car with extra changes of clothes, etc. There are so many out there! Happy hunting! You are going to have FUN shopping!

I got a OiOi bag and have gotten tons of compliments on it. But now that I have been carrying it for awhile, I am ready for another bag. I really just want to get a purse that is big enough to serve as a diaper bag. Now I am on the lookout for a cute, but big purse! That is something for you to think about!

I was determined (like you) to find a cute diaper bag with my last baby. The baby store next to Mi Cocina at Legacy Crossing? (the shopping area at Legacy & tollway). They had the cutest bags that were completely functional and didn't cost an arm & a leg....The one I bought cost $65 and it's a bag that I can use as a travel bag for the family now that I don't need a diaper bag anymore. That store had all different colors & styles...it's worth checking out that store too, very cute! Sorry I don't remember the name, but it's right next door to Mi Cocina.

Try the Vera Bradley Villager. You can see it online and some Hallmark and little specialty shops carry them. I throw mine in the washer, and it still looks brand new.

I have a ju Ju Be and I love it. Its a little on the pricey side but its worth it. One nice feature about it is it unzips and opens all the way so nothing can hide in the bottom. It also has a front pocket for mom things. I love this bag!!!

You can check it out and any other recommondations on ebay by searching. Even if you don't buy it there yo ucan atleast see what it looks like

Just a note on one to avoid - I have the Coach diaper bag and thought it was what I wanted, but too may pockets (things get "lost") and it isn't extremely pliable. I continue to use it because I spent so darn much on it, but if you want to go the route of a designer bag I would veer away from the Coach. However, there is a pretty interesting Burberry messenger bag style diaper bag that may be worth your while. . .

Oh gosh T.! There are so many diaper bags online. You need to find a work at home mom made one. They are unique and adorable. I'll see what I can find and send you a link :)

*Okay, okay these ladies definitely have you pointed in the right direction. But I got distracted on eBay, and ended up purse shopping for myself, LOL. I LOVE bags of any type!
