Costco diaper bags

[theloo]

The BB book says that Costco sometimes carries a diaper bag for about $25 (California Innovations, I think). I have never seen this. Has anyone else? I am also considering the Baby Sherpa one that's online, but $70 seems a bit much still. Ideas?

I have not seen this bag at Costco, but I do own it (I got it from a friend). It is not my favorite. The empty bag weighs alot and it has so many little compartments that I have trouble finding what I am looking for.

I do like that the inside is white and the lining zips out so you can wipe it down. However, I rarely use it anymore. I like my Lands End Little Tripper bag.

I too searched everywhere for this bag - when I checked the website given in the book, it didn't have any diaper bags. I ended up buying a BABY Innovations Bag from BRU. Like the PP, I too have found this bag to be heavy. I like the insulated bottle pocket (my main attraction to the bag in the first place) but I found that if I filled that pocket, there was a lot less open space available in the main compartment of the bag. It's just too heavy, big & bulky for me.
I am searching for a new bag, something less cumbersome and am leaning towards the LE LT as well.

Are you referring to this bag? http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2303119&cp
I haven't actually seen it in the store, but this one seemed useful, since it was "convertible." By the way, I checked the BB book and is CA Innovations.

I have that one, too (the BRU one). I love the organization w/ the front diaper pocket, but it is heavy. I think that the LE LT would be too small to pack all of the snacks and sippy that DS requires for outings. I'm thinking about getting a Skip Hop Saddlebag for my Volo (adds a cupholder & avoid the tipping issue). OOOH, maybe the LE LT and the Saddlebag would be a good combo! Now I have an excuse to buy 2 bags ;)

The one I bought is similar to this one, but without the messenger flap, it just has a top zipper. The exact bag isn't on their site.

Yes, you're right, the BB book says CA innovations, but again, I couldn't find a diaper bag made by this company, not even on their website. I wonder though, if Baby Innovations is a subsidiary or something.

Does the LE LT have a place for a sippy cup?

Thanks! Wow, I really like to looks of the LL Bean bag better. It wish I could see the inside of both of the pockets of that one.
