looking for ideas....

[sadie2]

I am looking for a diaper bag for my toddler and I when our Lands End backpack is too much. Dont want to spend over $75...any ideas for something stylish, but not too expensive? thanks

check out the sales page on www.chesterhandbags.com...I think most of the bags are $60. I just got a backpack style, and while it doesn't have a lot of pockets, it's a nice size, very light weight, wide straps, and very comfortable. The dimensions are 13"w x 15"h x 6"d, smaller than your LE.

Do you prefer backpacks, totes or messenger bags?

Kecci mommy bags can be used as backpacks and messenger bags. You can check them out at www.kecci.com. Hopefully there will be a coop soon.

If you like totes, Kim at Whimsicalwears.com is great and she can make a custom one for you. There was a coop that ended recently though. There are other ebay sellers that make tote style diaper bags -*poshibilities* is causing a lot of buzz at the babybags group at yahoo. I don't have personal experience with her bags. Another seller - say cheese, is also great. I have bought a tote from her but sold it as I had too many diaper bags.

You can also try to join the babybags group at yahoo; since there are ladies who sell their new to gently used diaper bags. You might be able to get a bargain there.

Good Luck in your search for your perfect diaper bag.

Edited for spelling!

Christina, thanks for your reply. I appreciate it! I am looking for a backpack that I can use as a purse or a diaper bag that is nice, like the sally spicer, but also functional (which i heard SS was not). I saw the backpacks at whimsical, but they seem a bit boxy for me, which isnt bad, just seems too big for what I am looking for. I will check out your other recommendationw! thanks
