We have not done this in a while...List your bags here!

I only kept the OiOi for one day.

Here's what I didn't like...
All cotton interior and exterior (how are you supposed to keep it clean?)
Short, non-adjustable strap- if you call a bag a "messenger" bag, you should be able to wear it messenger style! The strap is shoulder length only.
Stripes didn't align on the front (vanity, I know)

It compares to the Mothership in size. Hope this helps!

Here's my list! I don't have any designer bags though:
2 Skip Hops (Storm and Charcoal)
1 LE Backpack (2003) For all-day outings and DH's overnight bag
1 DIA (2004) DD's all-day bag for Grandma's
1 LE Little Tripper (2003) Was in heavy use until DD came along
1 LE Medium Tailored Tote (2004) Couldn't resist trying something new from Lands End!
1 Babytrend Activpak (2001)

The Skip Hops are my overall favorite now.

Departed:
2 Avent Bags
1 Eddie Bauer Backpack
1 Kelty Backpack
Old style LE backpack, Little Tripper, and DIA
Numerous ones from BRU

I used to be happy with my 2001 Babytrend Activpak until I started to lurk in these boards! I'd love to get a more upscale bag but money is tight right now. But who knows? I always kid myself that I'm done with diaper bag shopping :) I'll probably break down when I see the new Skip Hops! :)

Mariana,

Could you tell me if the Mustard Sprout for Gabe is a sling type backpack or a traditional backpack? Andrew has been diagnosed with Sensory Integration Dysfunction and the OT said that getting him a backpack and putting books in it would help him. PLus, he likes to carry things around, so a backpack or tote might help him.

I am debating between the Mustard Sprout, the LLBean Minipack, the Hanna backpack, and one other backpack I found (but can't remember the name! ).

TIA!

I'm new to the board, and expecting in March. All I have is one lonely Fleurville Mothership in white corduroy, so I have a lot of catching up to do! I had a boring black backpack with our first child, and want something snazzier this time around.

I'm hoping to get a Petunia Pickle Bottom shoulder bag in either "Land of the Lost" or "Cucumber Roll," or the Boxy Backpack in "Dynamite Roll." I'd also like a Fleurville Alpha 7 in red canvas, and maybe a Mothership in Houndstooth if I can find it cheap on eBay.

I'm also a little intrigued by the Shih "Jet Set" charm diaper bag:

and if I hit it rich at some point, I might try to get the Anya Hindmarch "Be a Bag" Nappy Bag with a baby picture of James on it:
