I think I qualify to answer this question, since I have THREE diaper bags! LOL! I first used a Petunia Pickle Bottom back the boxy one and it was great for the first 6 mo or so when I carried everything but the kitchen sink. For quick trips and for when I didn't have to carry to much with me, I used the Fleurville Sling Tote which is awesome. Perfect size. I haven't used the PPP one for a while, since it's really big. And then I bought a much smaller messenger tote (Kate Spade) from Nordstrom (on sale) that I used for a few weeks but then it got bored of that bag (I should really unload it...). Now that I really don't need to carry much with me, I just throw in a few diapers and wipes (in one of those Diapees and Wipees cases) in my Louis Vuitton (the new one I got recently, which is big) with a bag of goldfish and a sippy cup and we're good to go. I usually keep a change of clothes for him in my car but I don't carry it around. Hope that helps!

Thanks!

You so qualify! I knew my hip stylish momma macee would have something to say!! :)
I was looking at tthe fleurville sling & liked the size my current bag is just so huge & heavy I need something easier!

I *Love* my Petunia boxy backpack. I wear it as a backpack 90% of the time and it is SO convenient that way (especially now that C is bigger and I have to hold her a lot). My only complaint is that it's a little difficult to organize things inside, but if you put stuff into ziploc bags then you have instant organization.

Thanks Ericka! I was hoping you'd post b/c I just love all the thought & research you seem to be doing about everything baby!

Agree that the Petunia Picklebottom backpack style bags are great....you can wear it as a tote now, but I carry Anya a lot and end up using it as a backpack. I personally seem to have to carry a lot of stuff, but I think that is partly due to being in the city and wanting to be out for a half day (and often not near a car to stow emergency change of clothes, things like that). You'll figure out whether you personally can travel with less.

I also like the Skip Hop messenger bags. Much more husband friendly but a little less "girly" than the others.
