We have yet to decide on a diaper bag. After
registering at Babies R Us and Target, I was not loving any bags that they had to offer (at least not in-store items). I was (and still am!) so overwhelmed with all the different options and decisions with preparing for our first baby and I guess I kind of "gave up" searching for the perfect diaper bag.
Well, I think I've put it off long enough. With just over 8 weeks left until Baby K makes his arrival, we need to make a decision. Seeing
Laura's post on her diaper bag search and the cute options she's found, I was motivated again to find THE bag.
I know that some people register for two diaper bags - one for the momma and one for the daddy. I just don't see us using two bags and switching back and forth so I'd rather just get one, good quality bag. This means I want to find a diaper bag that isn't too girly for Will to be carrying around, but that still looks somewhat
fashionable.
From
Lassig, here are the diaper bags I love the most:
Lassig has so many cute bags, but a lot of them don't seem practical because the handles aren't long enough to throw on your shoulder. Personally, I don't want a diaper bag that I have to carry by the handles.
What do you think about my options? Do you own a bag from any of these brands?
Help me out!
I didn't like many of the diaper bags out there, either. I didn't do any research on that, but I did end up going with a tote from Thirty One Purses and getting a some pieces to help organize the inside. Not the most cost effective option, but the bag itself was cheaper than an average diaper bag and I can use it for pretty much anything after baby.
ReplyDeleteI love your JJ Cole option, definitely my favorite!
ReplyDeleteI think getting two diaper bags (one for dad and one for mom) is silly! Shoot, I am carrying this baby for nine months! If I want a pink diaper bag with hearts, stars and clovers all over it then daddy is just going to have to deal with it! Lucky for daddy I don't like pink... ha! And lucky for daddy I actually found an Eddie Bauer black/light green neutral bag that I really like! I honestly wasn't really worried about what it looked like though - I just wanted something with LOTS of pockets on the inside and long straps. I found the one I like online on Babies R Us in case you were wondering! Good luck!

My husband had a Columbia backpack diaper bag, buuuut we got it for free from a Columbia employee who knows my family. Honestly, I've been using it as a camera bag since we got it! (Whoops!) It was much easier to tote around just one bag. We had one from SkipHop that I loved, at least the functionality of it -- I didn't like the design very much. I enjoyed that it had a lot of POCKETS on the inside -- it made things insanely easier to have each little thing have a place to go!
ReplyDeleteAll of these are super cute!

ReplyDeleteI like the last one! It looks roomy with lots of pockets! P.S. I just now noticed this post-- Don't know how I missed it! :)
ReplyDeleteI actually LOVE my Vera Bradley diaper bag ~ still use it for my almost 2 year old and will use it for the new baby, too.
