Help, which diaper bag for 12 hour flight?

[younhiekim]

Hi Everyone,
I'll be going to Korea w/ my DD (who'll be 23 mo. for the trip), and it'll be a 12 hour flight. I have no idea which diaper bag to bring. I have a LE Do-It-All bag from 2000 (my model isn't on their website); I generally use that for plane trips. However, it's usually packed to the gills (I'm an overpacker) and those are for much shorter flights!

Any recommendations? I don't want to spend too much on a new diaper bag, but I'm willing to go up to $100 (although less is preferable!!!).

Thanks in advance!

We use a Timbuk2 medium messenger bag for plane trips - www.sierratradingpost.com has good deals on this bag. But I'm not sure if it is any bigger than your LE DIA.

Lori,
Thanks for responding. I looked at the bag, and you're right, it's not much bigger than the LE. Thanks for the suggestion though!

How about the LE Deluxe Backpack Diaper bag? It is HUGE and well organized. It is, IMO, larger than the current DIA, not sure about the old one. I had the Updated DIA and returned it in favor of the Backpack for travel.

I used the LE Deluxe Backpack Diaper Bag for Mia's carryon on the way home from China and it was perfect. I didn't need to get any of our emergency supplies out of the bigger carryon that was stored in the overhead bins. It left my hands free to carry Mia and pull the other carryon.

Now I keep it in the car fully stocked for those "oops" times when I run out of diapers or need an extra snack or a change of clothes.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm looking at the LE backpack right now!
