I purchased our diaper bag before Baby F was born. I knew I wanted one that was not too childish or bright colored I wanted one that would match any outfit I was wearing and something my Fiance could wear without it looking obviously like a diaper bag. The mall we live close to only has two stores that carry diaper bags, Zellers only had a few types... I found more selection at Sears. I chose the Bily Diaper Bag its is a plain black messenger bag style with cute gray and white polka pot lining, matching change pad and a little zip up bag similar to a pencil case. I paid around $35. I am very pleased with the diaper bag overall it has a bottle pouch on one side and a cell phone pouch on the other & also 2 large pouches on the front of the bag...there is plenty of space inside the bag for all your baby needs. Even when we were using the cloth diaper service I could carry 5 cloth diapers and a wet bag with ease.
Having a diaper bag was essential for us when Baby F was a newborn but these days I am using it less. I have bought a Jolly Jumper Change Eze Travel Change Pad at Sears. It has a compartment for a couple diapers and a travel wipes container. I found the container that came with it is probably not air tight and the wipes dry out fast, so I just use a Huggies travel wipes case. I find its much easier to just grab theJumper Change Eze Travel Change Pad and go out and not have to drag around a full size diaper bag, but for times when I am going out for more than 2-3 hours I do bring my large bag.
