The first couple of months I used the free diaper bags issued to me at the hospital courtesy of the formula companies because my baby was a preemie so all her stuff was so tiny it took up very little space. Now that she's getting a little bigger, those bags are too small. I'd bought a Marc by Marc Jacobs large Tate tote for me and a Skip Hop Duo bag for DH. We haven't used his diaper bag yet, but the MbMJ Tate is perfect for me. It's super roomy so I can either tuck my own bag into it too or just toss my essentials into it too. I hate pockets so this works nice for me but other mom's might dislike the lack of usable pockets...there are 2 exterior pockets that fit bottles, an interior zip pocket that I use to tuck wallet/money into and a couple cell phone/pda/ipod type pockets that I tuck tiny bottles of lotion and antibacterial into. It's nylon, inexpensive, and roomy, so it's a perfect bag for me and my baby so far.

Oh LoL well in that case I am toting around a Tangerine Ali Tote from Coach with two handles, short for the shoulder and long as a messenger, for whatever kind of bag I need it to be at that second. It works for my needs!

I also have the Ju Ju Be Be All and have used it with 2 of my 3 kids. I think it's a great diaper bag and I get compliments on it all the time.

Thanks for all your suggestions! I'm leaning towards the jujube be all but I would really like to see it in person before I buy it to see how everything fits, I have a LV Vernis Sarah wallet which is thick so I am a bit concerned about that. Other than that it looks perfect. From experience, after I finish using it as a diaper bag, I will use it for things like plane trips since it has all those compartments for my sons electronics and space for books. Now I just have to decide on a pattern...

Can you tell me which MBMJ tote you used, I was thinking of getting one as a diaper bag but I couldnt find any with outside pockets.
