Diaper Swappers

Any chance that co-op is still going on Caroline?>

I just get a slightly oversized purse and use that. I've never carried much stuff in a purse, so I really just need to be able to stick my wallet and maybe some chapstick into the baby bag. Just bought a REALLY cute purse at goodwill - lots of zippered pockets inside, as well as some snap pockets outside, and definitely looks like a cute purse rather than screaming "diaper bag!" I love getting them at goodwill because when I get sick of it in a few months I can just go spend $5 on a new one

I found one at babies r us that I really like. But I am still looking, unless somebody buys that one for me off my registry!

In the summer I feel like I have to use a big bag when I have a baby and a toddler b/c we do park days a lot with two mom's groups. We do that twice a week and I have to pack snacks, drinks, sunscreen, extra panties and pants (DD still has accidents), and CDs on top of that.

When we don't do park days, I can get away w/ a smaller bag and love it. I just hate switching back and forth between bags and w/ a baby I like to have everything on hand b/c at one point or another, I or another mom has needed what I carry.

I like to have small pockets on the outside for sunglasses, cell phone, disinfectant wipes and chapstick, but I never seem to find a purse that has the small ones on the outside. Ideally, I would like a medium-sized bag w/ the entire inside divided in half since all the bigger stuff seems to get all jumbled up.

I hate the look of actual diaper bags. There are enough cute purses out there these days that there's no excuse! lol

I have a pretty big green bag that I am getting really sick of, but we don't have the money to be spending on anything that we don't NEED. At least not right now.

I just sold my girly print JuJu Be All that I LOVED. I have a small PPB bag but it won't work with a newborn. I am on the hunt for something adorable.

I found my diaper bag! I haven't bought it yet because I'm not thrilled with the color, but the size is perfect, all the little pockets are great! http://www.toysrus.com/product/index...uctId=12552693

This is also what I have done. Babies r us has great bags but they are honestly more than I am willing to spend for myself. However, I am expecting twins and the bag I chose would work great for holding everything for two. Hoope someone gets the one you would like!

I'm getting one off of Etsy and it seems perfect for me. I'll have a toddler, a newborn, and when we head out we're gone for a long time because we live out in the country, so I need a bigger bag. I had a JJCole for my first daughter, loved it, but now I'm tired of all the pockets and organization. I just want to throw it all in there. :-)

Oh, and her customer service is amazing. We worked together to pick the inside and outside colors and she asked me for some extra features. It's been so much fun! And I don't think too expensive compared to regular diaper bags.

That is beautiful! Unfortunately, it's way over my price limit BUT you've encouraged me with the Etsy thing. I was looking on Etsy but the last bag I bought online I HATED and am in the process of returning it. But maybe I'll go hop on Etsy and look around some more.

I have never owned a Vera Bradley but I bought one this round to use as a purse/diaper bag. It's pretty cute with red, black, and white daisies.
