Need help...am traveling cross-country in 3 days and need a big bag for 14 mo old dd's stuff (diapers, clothes, snacks, books, toys, etc.)

Our regular diaper bags are too small and/or heavy (Timi & Leslie, Skip Hop). Is there anything I can buy thats lightweight but holds a lot? Doesn't even have to be a real diaper bag...just something easy to carry for the plane. Plus, no time to order online...I need to find something in person, which makes this much harder. Thanks for any ideas!

You could get a Land's End Do-It-All from Sears, if one near you has them in stock. They also have next day delivery (for a fee) from their website.

I loved my DIA for the plane. DH also took their Diaper Bag Backpack as his carry on. Between the 2 bags (which held all our carry on stuff, as well as DD's), we were set. The DIA works perfectly under the seat your child is in (assuming you purchased a seat for her), really easy access. If you only want one, I'd say the DIA, though having a backpack is always handy (I use that more on all-day trips, the DIA I usually only use for travel). I don't think the backpack is sold in Sears stores, though.

Have a great trip.
