Just got a new P3, now I need...

[curlytop]

a new bag! I think I want a black bag, I know, blah, blah, boring, etc. But I have the City Scape Martinelli - charcoal cross-hatch denim and black faux leather.
I love how the skip hop hangs from the P3 and holds a drink (how do you do that again?) but I'd like something a little more sleek. I am a boring microfiber queen! I have never seen a skip hop IRL (we live in Alaska, no skip hops, no P3s (had to order mine), no designer names, just lots of snow and moose!)LOL! I am concerned about the vertical packing of a skip hop (I'm not a very organized person!) and I'm not sure the canvas or the cord is dressy enough for what I am looking for....

hold a drink bigger than the P3 cup holder
fit on P3 handles
small to midsize - diapers, wipes, 3 month outfit, burp cloth, my wallet, phone, keys, snack, small water bottle,possibly dd's Leapster
simple (aka plain!) black
messenger or convertible to backpack style

Help! I have been glued to the computer all day trying to pick a new bag...dd is get fed up with me! LOL! Thought I better ask the 'experts'! Thanks.......

Depending on what kind of drink you are hoping to carry in it, here are some suggestions that might work. If you get carabiners (do an advanced search for carabiners and P3 and you should get some photos) you can attach a variety of bags. Some that come to mind:

*Kecci Shanghai
*Ameribag Tote
*Alpha 7
*Older LE DIA
*Ebags Urban Explorer 3-way Convertible (link below)
*Samsonite Jogger Bag (link below)
*Timbuk 2 Tote
*Marseille Backpack (appears to have the d-rings, haven't seen it in person, but the link is below)
*Petunia PickleBottoms Backpack
*LL Bean Microfiber Shoulder Bag (link below)

Basically all of these have a strap that attaches to d-rings. You then attach the carabiners to the d-rings and loop them through the P3's hangers for the Perego diaper bags. Many business style bags come with this feature and also in microfiber.

HTH you find a bag that meets all your needs. :-) Have fun!!!!

Here is one that is similar to the old style DIA bags, it is the Eddie Bauer Diaper Bag Case. It is definitely an all day out bag, but would easily attach with carabiners.
