I am looking for a bag like this

Can anyone help me find some others. I'd like to use it as a diaper bag. Or if anyone knows any diaper bags like this. I saw one on eddie bauer too that I like but it is a little smaller in person. A friend has another eddie bauer on I can't locate. Please help

Thanks

Sara

I have this one and really like it. Ameribag has a couple other bags that are not specifically diaper bags that would be fantastic aslo. For sling bags the pockets they have make the most of the space. Some sling bags are cruddy in how they designate space inside the bag. I had a Gap one that never quite worked well for much of anything for me because of this. www.sierratradingpost.com often has Ameribags at a discount but in a very limited selection. www.llbean.com carries it's own line of Ameribags as well.

As a two shouldered traditonal one this is nice for a big bag. I love it when we do theme parks and such. It worked well when I had to carry tons of food for one of my kids dietary needs. http://www.ebags.com/baby_sherpa/baby_sherpa_diaper_backpack/product_detail/index.cfm?modelid=17222
Another massive yet functional one is the OneStepAhead Urban Diaper Backpack- http://www.onestepahead.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=6451&cmSource=Search

A smaller two shouldered one that I tried recently and was super comfortable (I am a bigger girl) is the Eddie Bauer at Target. The reviews were kind of mixed on the Target site, but only had a few points that were even valid (like the stroller straps aren't velcro they are clips and decent, etc). I think it is worth a looksee. http://www.target.com/Eddie-Bauer-Sport-Backpack-Copper/dp/B000LVBONA/ref=cm_reviews_dp_seemore/602-2977642-3640653?ie=UTF8&coliid=&frombrowse=&alt%5Fview=custReviews
The regular Eddie Bauer site has different bags- http://www.eddiebauer.com/eb/cat_default_rollover.asp?nv=5|209&cm_cg=T106C209&lp=f3b

What specifically do you like about the one in your post? Or dislike? What are you carrying in it (how big does it need to be; will you need to carry bottles; etc)?
