Looking for a new bag that will work with my P3......

[newmomto1]

Hi,
I currently am using my T2 Peewee and sometimes my Ameribag.
I think I need something just a LITTLE larger for now to carry some extra stuff.
I got a LE DIA.... good size, but I am looking for something that has loops so I can hook it to the loops on my P3 handles with carabiners.
Any suggesions???
(I'd like to keep it affordable....$50.00 or less)
Thanks!

Have you looked into a Skip Hop yet? It's hangs off the stroller and can be worn messenger style. www.skiphop.com It's been pretty popular around here, and personally, I've been thrilled with mine! I use it on my Bugaboo, E3, and Zippy...

Yes, I am familiar with the Skip Hops...but IMO they hold less than the Ameribag or T2...& I need something a little larger.
Thanks.

How about the LE DIA Classic? It will work using carabiners. Or check a luggage shop for ideas, many bags had loops to add a shoulder strap and might work well for you.

I know what you mean though, I usually use my Ameribag tote on my Pliko, and lately I am finding I am carrying more (lots of toys these days for the 5 year old, lol) to entertain. I actually just dusted off my old DIA to try using for a bit. :-) Mine is this style- http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=15558&item=4320943587&rd=1

I have a Medium T2 that works really well on my strollers too! I really love that bag. It fits well on strollers because of the wider strap - I think it gets a better grip that way. Plus, the easy adjust strap makes it a really quick transition from stroller to shoulder.

Would that be an option? It's significantly larger than a PeeWee though.

You could also get any messenger style bag with an adjustable strap, like a Timi and Leslie for example. You could attach carabiners to the metal rings and clip them right on to the P3. I like the Timi and Leslie bags because they're lightweight and super cute. :) There was a recent co-op on the BAbybags Swap, maybe you can catch a good deal on a resell there?

On my P3, I use my LE Little Tripper for short tripes (mall, store, etc) and my Alpha for all-day trips. I know it's over the $50 limit, but it does work.

Well, thanks for all the suggestions, but..
I already tried the LE DIA Classic...I just didn't care for the bag & returned it.
Tried the T2 medium....WAY too big for me, returned it.
Timi & Leslie & Fleurvilles.....WAY more than I care to spend on a diaper bag!
I guess I'll just keep my eyes open & hopefullyI'll run across something that will work :-)

Are you open to using two bags? I leave my Skip Hop attached to the P3 and also carry the small T2 (it fits in the basket with room to spare, or fits over the handles with the Skip Hop). The Skip Hop holds extra toys, my drink, and an extra sippy cup, plus maps or whatever of the place we are at (mall, zoo, etc.).
