These are so beautiful! I love some of the geometric patterns and the beautiful red/black Asian-looking one (forgot the name). I'm expecting number 2 in Dec. and would love to treat myself. Not that I need another diaper bag. We already have: a Lands End Do-It-All (great for lots of new baby gear), a Lands End Backpack (good for travel and for daddy carrying), a Avent Backpack (cute, small, great for my 2 year-old's necessities), and a Kate Spade bag that someone gave me (not a diaper bag, but looks just like the diaper bag version minus the bottle holder).

All of these are plain black--I know, how boring, but I love black.

So I'm definitely up for something a little different.

I was thinking about a Petunia Picklebottom boxy backpack or toddler bag, but this is a great option too.

Among these two brands:

What would you recommend for someone who a) isn't so good at packing lightly and b.) will have 2 children (ages 2 years and 8 months and newborn)?

I haven't used either bag, but I will most likely get a I'm Still Me bag.They are beautiful and, imho, reasonably priced. The PPB bags are nice but just a little too "out there" for me, kwim? I have 2 under 2 and it looks like the ISM bag will work. I'd suggest getting an ISM bag while they're taking off, so to speak.I'm sure that they'll be around the same price as a PPB bag next season as demand for the product increases!Have fun picking:)

The I'm Still Me bags hold ALOT plus you can get the accessory pouches for your stuff. The entire inside is lined with pockets sized for diapers, wipes, avent bottles, etc. You can carry everything you need and use it kind of like a purse too. If you carry lots of extra sets of clothes or cloth diapers you might want the XL size. I think I'm going for the backpack buffalo plaid for fall! Jenny

I was thinking of the buffalo plaid,to, but I was going to ask if they have other colors as opposed to the beige with the black......>The I'm Still Me bags hold ALOT plus you can get the

My mom just told me she'd buy me one for a birthday present (late Sept.). Yay, how fun!

I think I'd like to get the Tailored Stripe (most conservative of my choices, IMO, but would look great with khackis, black, or red clothing or accessories), Ladder Abstract (kind of funky, but fun--goes well with any black which I love to wear and has some pretty accent colors), or Imperial Dragofly (really striking--a more toned-down version of the PP boxy backpack in red). I love this one, but it doesn't come in a backpack style. : ( I also don't wear THAT much red.

I like the plaid you guys both are thinking of as well.

Hmm. Now I'm wondering if I should try to coordinate with current or future strollers. Maybe not--it gets too crazy!

Happy Shopping. : )

Basically what I am going to do is to choose a bag that will match my winter coat-which for me, living in TX, will be a lightweight camel colored cord coat from Gap. I always try to match accessories to my coat in the fall/winter>My mom just told me she'd buy me one for a birthday present

I've been checking the site *daily* to see whan the new styles would be there! I really like the Happy Days blue bag, but I think I'm still in love with the Imperial Dragonfly bag....I've been eyeing that one forever. A mom at my Gymboree class has the original dragonfly print bag with the yellow bottom and loves it (of course, I ambushed her when I saw that she had an I'm Still Me bag....lol).

Do you think ALL the new styles are posted??

I've been looking at the dragonfly all summer too! Now looking at the new toile ones too! I think my boys will be out of diapers by the time I make up my mind! :-)
