I have an 18 month old son and I'm due with our second child in 3 weeks. I am trying to find a larger diaper bag to accomodate all the stuff that will come with having 2 young children and 2 in diapers. If you have a diaper bag you love that would suit this purpose, please let me know. Thanks.
Search for the Baby Sherpa. If they still make those, they were pretty big.
Also www.onestepahead.com always has a few good ones, although $$$
I used a great Bumble Bag. The style was Jessica. It has a ton of room but isn't too bulky. Plus, it could be used as a backpack or regular messenger style bag. Loved that bag, still have it packed up just in case! Moved to a small backpack now that daughter is older and out of diapers.
I was given a Ski Backback for a gift and it hands down is the best diaper bag in the world.
It has plenty of room and all sorts of pockets and straps to sort, attach and organize everything.
Find them at your local ski shop or online.
You can also contact the ski shop where mine came from. They will send you one.

I use a Vera Bradley diaper bag and it is wonderful. It is large, has lots of pockets and has a board in the bottom to keep it stable. I can fit a ton of diapers, 2 changes of clothes, 2 graduates bucket meals, 2 fruit cups, and 2 juice boxes or sippy cups EASILY in the main part of the bag. It has 2 side pockets on the outside that are great for a cell phone or a sippy and the best part, for me, is it's washable!! I got mine as a gift because they can be expensive but you can find them online or in discount stores a lot cheaper. My best friend got one at goodwill that was in fabulous shape for $15! Good luck!!
congratulations on baby #2 coming up. i have 2 little girls that are 25 months apart. the older one is potty trained now, but when #2 came around,she wasnt. you literally need two of everything.
what i found out to be helpful, is to downsize what you keep in your diaper bag. i keep the wipes in a ziploc bag, use travel size items instead of the big and bulky (baby powder, lotion, etc). try to keep the toys in a seperate bag in the car. and when you do go somewhere, just take out what you need.
also, what is wallet-friendly and are so much cuter, try using a beach bag instead of a diaper one.
i know that they have them in target next to the purses.
hope this helps a bit..
good luck with everything
Hi! We love Vera Bradley. Not the messenger, but the large diaper bag. It is large enough to stuff my 2 sets of twins stuff in, and you can wash it too! Good luck no matter what you choose!
I haven't had any problems fitting all my stuff into one diaper bag. I have a tote-style bag with pockets for sippy cups on either side. I buy them at Wal-Mart for $15-25 and they last about 9 months. I also keep a change of clothes for all of us in the car (as well as a change of clothes for baby in the bag). Recently I have started carrying a backpack style bag for places where toting around a diaper bag is a hassle. But I don't like the backpack style for everyday.
When my twins were little, I used a backpack style diaper bag. Backpack style is good for keeping your hands free dealing with 2 little ones. I bought one in a olive green color so my husband would carry it too! :) Look for ones with lots of pockets & compartments!
Invest in a "Fleurville" bag. I have the "sling tote" but they make a bigger "lexie tote" that should hold all the things you need for two little ones. I bought mine on Ebay, used, but it's such a quality bag that you'd never know I paid half price and that it was used. They are so well made that I plan to sell mine in the future and it'll still look new. Very pretty patterns and they are wipeable. It came with a great padded shoulder strap (removable) and a matching wipes case and bottle case. Pockets, key holders, zipper pockets. It's well worth every penny!
The celebrity backpack style is great. Here is the link. http://www.balterbaby.com/bags/celebrity-diaper-back-pack...

Did you try Corner Stork?

Get one custom made from Etsy or Hyenacart! A friend of mine got hers there and she cloth diapered so she got built in wetbags as well along with the name of each child on embroidered on their respective side.
Congrats, how exciting! I am a lover of the backpack. You can throw it on your back and when you bend over to pick up a child or do something else, it won't swing around and knock them in the face. I have a Petunia Pickle Bottom bag I got at one of their online clearance sales. It's pricey and I know you can find knock-offs everywhere. Good luck and have fun!
I have a 2.5 year old and a 7 week old. I am currently carrying my favorite diaper bag thus far - a JJ Cole bag. It has LOTS of pockets, but is not too bulky. I have gotten so many compliments also (some from people who didn't realize it was a diaper bag). I do have the matching changing bag and pacifer purse also, both of which stay supplied in the car. The changing bag is nice when you are just running in somewhere or for a playdate or out to eat, because it comes with a changing pad and you put in your diapers and wipes and you are good to go! I put my phone in the outside pocket and I am ready to go!
Congrats on baby 2! Best of luck!

I used a backpack for my diaper bag when I needed one for 2.
