    I have a really nice one from Pottery Barn that has worked perfectly well BUT now ... lets see I have

    two outfits
    8 diapers
    4 bottles
    2 formula dispensers
    small note pad & colored pencils - for my girls
    wallet w/important cards and cell phone
    2 cloth diapers - for spit up messes
    2 rolled up blankets
    ---- AND I am full!!!

    Of course now they are playing with toys and it is getting cold plus they are starting to eat so I need bibs and spoons plus the actual food itself. So I think I need a new diaper bag. I really like the JuJuBe BeAll bag. http://www.ju-ju-be.com/beall.html

    Note I am very very picky on how my diaper bag looks. I will not carry anything with characters on it. I do not like the Eddie Bauer ones - I have had those suggested to me.

    What do you carry? Does anyone have a jujube?
    Thanks

    I use two bags. If we are going somewhere other than a trip to the grocery store I have a backpack that I leave in the van...tons of diapers, wipes, clothes, burp rags, bottles, liners, formula, Tylenol, toys, ect.... then I have a good size purse I got at Old Navy. In that I keep my stuff, plus two diapers, wipes, extra pacifiers, a few small toys and can throw two bottles in there. That is what I use to go in stores and stuff. I don't want to carry around a huge diaper bag, so the back pack in the car works great. I like the back pack b/c if I am going somewhere that I need it. I can easily throw it on my back and still carry the boys, without it slipping off my shoulder...hate that!

    I've been dying to recommend my bag to someone!! I got the Skip Hop Duo Double (their biggest bag...has 3 outside pockets). It has been amazing! It straps onto my duo glider and jogging stroller so I'm never really carrying it. My requirement was that it had to be able to fit 6 bottles. DH does triathlons and we'd be there for hours. It's the only one I could find and I absolutely love it!

    I got mine in the clearance section of the skip hop site.

    Here's what they have on clearance right now:

    That Juju one is cute! The reason I personally wouldn't buy it is b/c I only have diaper bags that DH can also carry. If I get a bag that looks like a purse or girly then I know I'm going to be the only one who carries it. I have 3 diaper bags, the biggest one is the skip hop duo double - and I have it in army green so DH uses it too. For short outings when I'm by myself I have one that my friend made me that looks like a big purse and is pretty cute but doesn't hold a whole lot, and we also have a green one that is like a back pack which is good b/c I can put it on my back and still carry both babies.

    Now that my babies are older, the one I use the most is the back pack, it's just the most convenient.

    My husband could care less about what the diaper bag looks like UNLESS it has any camo on it. He dislikes camo stuff and anything that looks vaguely like camo, which is good because I do as well.

    Same here, my DH is anti-camo unless it's on military personnel.

    I have the Ju-Ju-Be Packabe and I love it. It was great for when I had tons of diapers, bottles, and formula containers and now with lots of snacks and diapers it still is awesome. I also bought the padded straps so that when I travel on the plane I have a nice backpack too.

    I have the Coach Diaper Bags. I have 2 of them and they are wonderful!!! They are plenty big to carry everything in one for a short trip and 2 if we are going to be gone all day.

    This is my bag. Mine is black/silver. It is rather large and my Mom complains it is too heavy. However, I love it because it fits everything for all three boys (I tend to keep everything I may need on me...kind of a pack-rat when it comes to diaper bags). If that one is too heavy, the others are much more compact. I think the be all looks perfect. I love how they come in a variety of styles/patterns and they have awesome compartments!
    Good luck w/ your search.
