Suggestions Regarding a Good Diaper Bag

I am looking for a good quality diaper bag. Ideally, I want something that includes a smaller purse/wristlet so I can carry one bag and/or just take out the purse/wristlet when my husband has the bag. I am a total minimalist so I don't want anything big or bulky and I don't carry a lot of stuff. Any suggestions?

What can I do next?

I'm going with the other mom's who use a backpack. That was one of the best things that I have ever done, I started using one when my twins were moving around more.

JuJuBe diaper bags are great. They are a bit more expensive but I really like mine. It is a small backpack style but also stays comfortably on one shoulder if you don't want to wear it as a backpack and it doesn't really look like a diaper bag. People often comment on what a nice bag it is when I am out and about.

we bought a small backpack instead of a diaper bag. I just kept a wallet clutch purse in there and the stuff i would need

Try this sight. You can work with them to make what you would like.

Diaper bags are very personal just like purses. It is hard to recommend one because everyone feels differently about each one. I personally started with a diaper bag when my son was in his portable infant car seat... but as soon as he was in his toddler car seat, carrying him, as well as a bag just wasn't working for me [even though my son was walking at 8 months, obviously he did not go where I wanted him to! And he refused, and sometimes still refuses, to hold my hand so I had to carry him a lot. Not to mention dipping and struggling to get out of my arms when I carried him]. Now I use a good old fashioned backpack for everything my son needs. I don't care one bit what people think about it, because most of the time I need both hands. And why go out and buy a new "diaper backpack" when I already have one that I used in school? I usually put my regular purse inside the backpack. I purposely chose a purse that has a long strap, so that I can put it over my neck if I need to. And for now I have no intention of getting rid of the backpack. Holding a purse in one hand or trying to keep a purse on my shoulder while I have a toddler struggling to get out of my arms does not work very well

I have a KEEN diaper bag and love it. It is a sleek design that is spacous but not bulky. It has a big open pocket on the inside with a light that turns on when you open it (goes off when you close it) and a zipped pocket and slot pocket on the outside plus a bottle/cup holder.

When my dd was a little baby I didn't carry much around just diapers and wipes, maybe a change of clothes, but from 9 - 18 months I needed extra stuff: food, snacks, clothes, wipes, diapers, drinks, first aid kit.....

I found so many diaper bags that I couldn't choose between at Target. And if you want something really sturdy and 'manly' for when your husband carries it, try Jeep.com. I bought a Jeep brand diaper bag from their website and just loved it! It was big, but not huge and my husband was happy that it was something he didn't mind carrying!
