What bag do you plan on using for your diaper bag? Bonus points for links or pictures.
If you're a BTDT mom, what did you use last time and would you recommend it?

I got this bag on Prime day for $35. HapTim Multi-function Baby Diaper Bag Backpack with Stroller Straps, Gray www.amazon.com/dp/B01M9E9UNV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_DWwQzbJNH03RZI'm a fan of the backpack style. Frees up both hands, and I like how this one opens as the top instead of zipping down like a regular backpack. |

We babywear so a backpack was a must for us. I have a jujube and hate it. It's bulky and their customer service is awful.
Recently I've just been using a regular backpack I got at REI and it fits our needs.

+1 on the backpack style! DH brought this one back from the states for me and I already love it. I've already filled it with baby stuff and practiced wearing it, because I am a giant nerd. It has a drawstring on top and doesn't rely on a zipper, which I also love. I also really like how easy it is to hook on to any stroller. I was lucky and got mine for $72 on Amazon when it was on sale and I had the registry completion discount. I also think they sell this one at Target.   www.amazon.com/Skip-Hop-Chelsea-Downtown-Backpack/dp/B018996Z1Q |

We currently use this 31 Sling Back one and love it. Unsure if it'll work for two kids. It'll probably be ok sometimes, but I may have to bust out the Skip Hop Forma Diaper Backpack that I have (and dislike) for when we'll need to take more stuff. I'm not going to buy anything new. There is lots of space in the Skip Hop one, so definitely room for things for two kiddos, but it is so bulky and uncomfortable to wear, IMO. |

Opposite of chitownsully, I'm a Ju-Ju-Be fan and have had a positive experience with their customer service. I have the BRB backpack style. I got some little containers for inside to help keep things organized (one for diaper changing supplies, one for spare clothing, insulated one for snacks), which I think can be a struggle with any backpack style since they can be deep without many inner pockets. shop.ju-ju-be.com/be-right-back-legacy-the-admiral/ |

I had a messenger bag the first few months and hated it because it was too small to fit everything I needed. I then used a 31 bag for the past 2ish years. I like it because of the zipper and pockets, but am thinking I might go the backpack route since I'm chasing 2 kids now and will need the free hands. I also want the smaller diaper bag that Vera Bradley has. Lots of storage and pockets and it can be hung on a stroller.

I have a something something backpack. I picked it because it was something H would carry if needed. It doesn't feel like the most reliable material, so I guess we will find out!

Add me to the backpack list. Actually I bought a back pack for when I broke my foot. I needed something to wear to work while on crutches. After I was off crutches, I started using it as a diaper bag. I only use my real diaper bag is we're going to a restaurant or somewhere we're not out and about.

Update my Amazon order was waiting for me... the TimHap is more of a charcoal black and it's great... both DH and I can use it, so many pockets and organizers. I'm looking forward to using it.

So I have two Diaper bags.
My main diaper bag is the Ju-Ju-Be BFF. It can be worn as a backpack (a must) or comes with a shoulder strap. We purchased through Amazon and about a week after it arrived, noticed the zipper was snagging. They sent us a replacement no questions asked. I love that it is easy to keep track of everything with all the compartments and it's machine washable.
I also have the Petunia Pickle Bottom wistful weekender. It's HUGE! If you like big bags or have more than one kiddo, perfect size to fit everything you need. This is one that I mainly use for travel.

I have a Timi & Leslie tote style bag. I don't remember which model it is, but I like it. I would like to get one of the Skip Hop backpacks this time around, because hands free with kids is SO much easier!

I have a Ju-ju-be BFF and I don't love it but will be using it again. I do like that you can make it a backpack but I just didn't find that it was very spacious especially when we switched to cloth diapers.
We also have a Jeep backpack bag for DH and again- don't love it- I feel like it's a black hole where everything gets lost!
