I had a baby last year and went through this dilemma. I ended up with maybe 7 different diaper bags. Here's some suggestions:

Addicted, what did you think of this bag? My sis is due in May, and *shocker*
I want to be the one to get her baby bag!! Is it practical? I saw these online and thought they were so pretty! Which did you like best?
Hi there - at one point I had 3 of these bags because I couldn't decide on color. I did have this bag above, but ended up with "Sweetie Roll". I think the one above is called "Blossom Roll".
I used this when I travelled and got many compliments. I like the fact you can use as a backpack or shoulder bag. IMO it's not super roomy inside, but it's got enough room for the essentials.
My friends were completely SOLD on this bag and convinced me to get it because of the fold out changing pad. I have to admit, it was rather convenient at the airport for me.
I've own or have owned many many bags (Petunia Picklebottom, fleurville,
coach, One Step Ahead, Kate Spade, Skip Hop). But the one I use the most right now is my skip hop duo because it hangs on the back of my Bugaboo stroller. And my baby is 1 year old and I don't need to carry much anymore.
Also - I had to take into consideration my hubby who carries the bag a lot too. I'm too lazy to prepare multiple bags.
But I agree with filling the bag with stuff is a nice touch. I did this for my sis-in-law. I got diaper wipes case, disposable diaper ducky, diaper rash cream, insulated bottle holder, kleenex, hand sanitizer, pacifier and holder, infant tylenol, orajel, nail clippers...etc. It was fun shopping for her because I knew what a new mother would need.
I do wish I got the
Gucci messenger though.
