What do you use or plan to use for a diaper bag? Call them diaper bags, mom bags, whatever you want. The bag you'll carry around most when you're out and about with your kid to hold diapers, bottles, wipes, toys, etc etc etc.
Show me what you've got and how you use it. Do you babywear and walk/public transit? Hang on the stroller? Put under the stroller? Take from car to inside where you're going?
We just moved from very urban living where I baby wore and we took public transit or walked often to the suburbs which is mostly driving here and there with some stroller use but also letting the toddler walk (and I will wear #2 when s/he gets here). I don't know if there's one answer or I need multiple bags for different scenarios. Or how big of a bag for two kids in cloth diapers. We currently use a regular backpack most. Debating if a bag which hangs from the stroller handlebar would be worth getting or just continue with a backpack and tossing it under the stroller.

A backpack works fine. The 2 year old doesn’t need nearly as much as a baby and barely takes up space in the bag. He got a packing cube with a change of clothes, some diapers, and a couple snacks. The baby took up the rest of the space

I got a really nice jujube shoulder bag when I had DD. Sadly I used it not at all and find a backpack so much more convenient. I could see needing something bigger if you formula feed, but I currently fit sunscreen, bug spray, a small first aid kit, water bottle, extra underpants/change of outfit for DD, wipes, snacks, and my wallet/phone. I think there should still be room for the new kid’s cloth diapers and changing mat, but I also might buy a diaper bag specific backpack. I currently just use a cute one I found at Target.

I have this bag from Amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B07KFX4G44?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_shareIt has lots of pockets and space and I'm strangely excited to use it haha And when in public, I often babywear, mostly because I hate carrying the carseat around. Plus, it keeps people from touching them while they're tiny.

We use a backpack like this one. We do mostly from car to wherever we are going but we also walk around with it when we are places (fair, carnivals, shopping, etc). When using the stroller for like just a walk, we just bring a diaper and some wipes if we bring anything.

I used the honest company diaper bag backpack with DS and I plan to use it again. It was plenty big enough for a whole day out with cloth diapers, change pad, nursing cover, Blanket, water bottle, spare clothes/toys/snacks for 2 kids and my wallet/keys/phone/lotion etc. I will have 2 kids in cloth this time around but I also am rarely out all day so it should be fine for a regular amount of stuff

Last time I got this SkipHop diaper bag and it worked out fine. We're in suburbia and stroller everywhere, so it hung perfectly on the stroller. I'd defintely prefer a backpack, because I'm a backpack kind of person, but I also don't care enough to spend money on something new, so we'll just keep using it.

I’ve had a different one with each kid (it basically gets destroyed by the time I’m done using it) and this time I went with the Land backpack because it seemed all the rage and anything to free up a hand will be nice.
