Diaper bag

So my favorite diaper bag broke last week. I have another one but I don't love it. I know we've talked about this before. What do you all like? I'll still have 1 in diapers for another 2 years give or take. Requirements: Doesn't look super 'diaper bag ish' Can use daily Multiple compartments so everything doesn't get lost Big enough for diapers, change of clothes for both kids, snacks, sippy cups, my water bottle, wallet, and handful of toys, phone, etc but not too big to carry around daily Under $200 preferably closer to $100 or less Thoughts? I think I remember someone ( flamingo? Cher?) liking one of the pottery barn totes? Which one? Help me shop!!!

Big fan of petunia pickle bottom over here. They look great, have several styles to choose from, and are bulletproof. B's still looks new nearly nine months later.

I need a new diaper bag too. I'm leaning towards the jujube, mostly because I like the styles.

jewels I don't think it was me that rec'ed a PB one. I tested their Classic Diaper Bag a couple years ago and found it was too unstructured for my taste. I like a bag that holds its shape even if it's not filled. I loved my Vera Bradley one that I had with B. They don't make it anymore, unfortunately. this is similar. I had it in navy, and it still looks like new 3.5 years later. Fabric is very cleanable. This is what I just got and so far I like it. I was just ready for a change. They sell it everywhere...Target, PBKids, you name it. This might be a bit small for you, but they make other sizes and silhouettes.

I've never had a diaper bag, I've only used oversized Coach purses. Those things are like work horses, I have one brown leather and one black fabric. Both still look great after 3.5 years.

I had a JJ Cole one, similar shape to this one that I used for a while, I liked it, but I found myself using it more for Layla's daycare bag than a diaper bag. I switched to a 31 zip top utility organizing tote like this that I used for an actual diaper bag. I'm cheap though, and I never stopped carrying a purse.

Ooh that's pretty! Love the tan color. Maybe for fall... lol, after using the same diaper bag for over 3 years, I apparently want to start collecting them.

I have the pb tote. It's roomy, but all one section. I don't know if that would work for you. Then I have a Kelly Moore Libby camera bag that has ALL the pockets. They don't make the one I have anymore, but they have a very similar one.

I got one of the cheaper PB totes on sale for $20 or so. The striped one that's unstructured. Doesn't sound like it would meet your needs, but it works for us since I only really use a diaper bag on the weekends.

I debated it then (do I really need another?). But cmon, I just had a kid so at least another 2-3yrs of carrying around diapers!
