I joined the Baby Bag Swap and got caught up in it : ). I have reduced my inventory and currently have 3 bags for me. A Lexie Barnes darling I haven't used in about 6 weeks, a Fleurville Sling tote I haven't used in a while (I need to sell that one, lol) and my favorite right now, a Fleurville Mini Mothership. DH has one diaper bag, a Skiphop in olive with orange trim.

Get your second one, there are mom on the Baby Bag board who have several. Sometimes you get tired of the same bag and want to change ever so often, just like your purses : ).

I am a purse-aholic, yet I only have two diaper bags. A big LE bag (forgot the name) that lives in my trunk and a Lexie Barnes Darling in Hermosa. Every once in awhile I am tempted to buy a Kecci bag at Marshalls or TJ Maxx, but have so far been successful in talking myself out of it.

At this moment, I own....
-LE Little Tripper
-Fleurville mini sling tote
-origami tote (like the timi & leslie small)
-blingy baby convertible messenger/backpack
-baby sherpa backpack (for travel)
-small ebay boutique tote
-SH red cord duo knock-off
-a new oioi hobo on the way.

I've probably owned another, oh, 15-20 bags that I've bought/sold on babybags swap. I get bored pretty easily though, and use the diaper bag as my purse!

[Laundraholic]

I'm not really that much of a bag person (I have maybe 2 handbags... which have been in use for the last 4 years), so the 5 diaper bags I own is alot for me =)

1. Fleurville Mothership
2. Skip Hop Expo
3. JJ Cole Essentials diaper bag (which i stopped using when DK #2 came along)
4. LLBean Diaper bag
5. Roots diaper bag (which I bought with my first DK, before I really knew there was much more available)

plus the pannier bags for the stroller (P&T e3)

buy that second bag!!!

[julieakc]

Before DS I was always a purse gal.....lots of different ones for different needs, moods, etc.

So naturally I have lots of diaper bags. I currently have 20 in my possession:

5 in the "for sale" pile (which includes the hospital freebie)

The other 15 are in the following categories:

Couple small "quick" trip bags
Several bags for normal daily use
Medium bags for longer outings
BIG bags for travel/really long outings

[Erin_Matts_Mom]

I definitely think you should get a second bag. You can print out these posts and give them to your husband. He won't think you're over the top at all! My only defense is that I do have 2 kids under the age of 2 :-) I have

Lands End Little Tripper
Lands End Do it All
Lands End Backpack diaper bag
Fleurville Sling Tote
Silverline Fling
Skip Hop Duo
Skip Hop Pronto
Phil and Ted pannier bags

[winterbaby]

I've sold over 10 bags and my daughter isn't even 1 year old yet!

I currently own
Storksak Mia
LB Darling in Parfait
Im Still Me convertible backpack/messenger
Sherpani Vida backpack

[turtlejd]

I never carried a purse before DD. I carried a small Victorinix sling bag that I picked up along time ago. But now I'm really into diaper bags!

I currently have:
Lexie Barnes Darling
Petunia Picklebottom Shoulder Bag
Petunia Picklebottom Boxy Backpack x2
Fleurville Sling Tote
Land's End Triple compartment backpack for DH

And many more have passed through my closet.

I would definitely say, get a second diaper bag! It's nice to have variety.

I have had and sold a lot... maybe around 10-ish, but I've never had more then maybe 4 at one time. Right now I have:

Lexie Barnes Superstar in Dutch Treat
Lexie Barnes Darling in Poppy
OiOi Hobo in charcoal dot

And I think I'm going to buy a gently used Timi & Leslie backpack that I totally don't need. :) My husband wants to kill me.

[suz]

Not that many...

-Fleurville Alpha 7
-Petunia picklebottom red dragon roll
-Petunia picklebottom avocado roll
-Fleurville Escape pod
-fleurville Sling tote

The last two fleurville bags are seconds, so I got a really good deal.

[jray]

Do the ones from the formula companies count? :)

I've owned at one point...
BRU Black Backpack (Baby Innovations)
Pentunia Picklebottom
Fleurville Sling Tote
Bumblebag Jessica
Pursonality Girlie Girl
Skip Hop Duo
Fleurville Mothership
Phil and Ted's Saddle bags

...and new absolute favorite...StorkSak w/ faux fur in Sienna

I sold the PPB, Fleurville ST, and returned the BumbleBag. Everything else, I still own. But I really only use the Mothership, Storksak, and occasionally one saddle bag.

[symesa]

7 of them. Whoa! How did that happen? Well, I love my diaper bags like I love my shoes!!

Skip Hop Dash
Lands End Little Tripper
Lands End Do-it-all
Lands End Diaper Tote
Target Fleurville knockoff
2 homemade diaper tote bags (I did a pretty good job - yeah me!)

[momof1squirt]

I've had quite a few in the past two years (I didn't get into them till ds was out of dipes!) Currently...8 and I want to get another :)

LE Triple compartment backpack navy (dh uses this one for travel)
LE Little Tripper Green
T&L Bebe Paris Print
Skip Hop Dash Red
Skip Hop Duo Black

And I am thinking of a PPB Shoulder tote!

In all fairness, I am selling the SuperStar, Dash and T&L. Dh uses the LE backpack and the SH Duo. I never use the LE LT anymore. So I really only have 2 right?

Rayj -
I saw the Baby Inovations backpack today at BRU. I'm in need of a large bag for Disney. DS will be 16 months then so we'll need diapers & sippys on top of water bottles, change of clothes, yadda yadda.
What do you think of this bag? I'd like to spend a minimal amount since I love my I'm Still Me backpack for everyday.

PS I know this is an older post... I hope you subscribed to this!

[AgathiP04]

I also wasn't crazy about purses but I love diaper bags! My DH thinks I'm a bit crazy, too.

My List:
1. JuJuBe Packabe-Citrus Sorbet
2. LE Do-it-all
3. Kecci Voyage Backpack (want to sell)

I have a slightly long wish list, too.

[lizzytra]

Just Two (bought second one when pregnant w/#2)
-Skip Hop Duo
-Land's End Do It All
I would have been happy w/just the skip hop, but I went ahead and bought the Land's End one so that I would have a big bag for all day outings (sometimes I take the Skip Hop and leave the LE in the car with back up supplies)

[Kindra178]

Tell him that diaper bags fulfill different needs and that there is no perfect diaper bag. I have

Fleurville Sling Tote
Jujube Men's Messenger Bag (matches with my P3)
Valco Messenger Bag (got that one free)

My husband has the

Eddie Bauer Backpack Diaper Bag (which I use sometimes)

I want the

Fleurville Mothership
Skip Hop Duo
Silver Line Backpack

I will probably get the Mothership and the SL Backpack at some point.

[clc053103]

I started to get caught up, but eased back! I have 3- I use two pretty regularly. A Skip Hop Dash which I consider the perfect utilitarian bag, and a PPB Boxy Backpack which is a bit more stylish but not as functional. A kecci never got used. I only have 1 DS so I don't see more in my future. And it never replaced handbags as the love of my life!

[elisap4406]

I have four if you include the freebie. The freebie however is now used by DH for his stuff in the garage!

Skip Hop Pronto (just bought, but haven't had a chance to use it yet)
Eddie Bauer Organizer bag (love this bag as it is amazing light when full of diapers and a bottle)
Harvey's Seat Belt Executive Tote (I use this when we go out some place nice)

[winterbaby]

I have 5 right now but have gone through more then I can count!

1. Betsey Johnson desert rose tote
2. coach brown leather with pink piping tote
3. Fleurville pink chocolate A7- may sell this
4. Posh Baby Ultimate in Bella
5. 2 Red Hens whole roost in blue moon- for sale!
