Hi! This is my first post on here, and I was hoping to get some help on a diaper bag. I am due August 8th, and have been stressing over which diaper bag to get. I actually ordered the LE Do-It-All, but returned it because the straps were too short for me and it seemed a bit bulky. However, I did like its quality and features.
I am leaning toward a backpack diaper bag, and wondering if the LE Deluxe would be good or if it's too big for everyday use? Since I'm a first time mom, I have no idea as to what exactly I'll need or if I'll be a light packer or not.
I want something that's not too big or too small, can carry all my stuff as well as the baby's (so I don't have to carry a purse as well), and will leave both of my hands free. I also plan on wearing my baby in a sling a lot, so I would need something that would work with that. Normally, I would want a messenger style bag, but I don't think that will work too well with a sling.
Can anyone help me? Thanks!
p.s. is it more common to get an actual "diaper bag", or do a lot of people buy normal bags and use them as diaper bags?
