Help searching for a smaller diaper bag

[brooke2003]

Hi all- I am searching for a diaper bag, and hoping you can help. I need something smaller for short trips (diapers, wipes, snacks, wallet, cell, sippy cup, etc). I don't like the backpack style because I need easy access.

Most of all, I would like something somewhat stylish- at least not a beige or navy canvas... any ideas?

Not much out there, is there? This is my quest too.

If you like the look of One Cool Chicks Bags, they have the small messenger style (though they aren't on their site - only the large ones are) and people seem to really, really love them.

I think there is a coop (open to all) still on them too, so their prices are more reasonable too.

First, here's a review and pics of the small messenger:

Second, you can find out about the coop on the: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/babybags/


These bags usually run $135, but with coop price, it's $85. I don't know if I can post actual details of the post, but you can find the info at post 5298. You have to join the group, but there's no obligation or anything!

Now, these may not be your style, as they aren't mine, but they are cute and hold JUST the right amount of stuff!

Take a look at the Lands End Little Tripper and Medium Tailored Diaper Tote, too.

I saw the small ellington in-flight tote and it looked like a nice size. Comes in some nice spring colors. try www.ebags.com or www.ellingtonleather.com :)
