I saw the Shih Jet Set charm diaper bag at my local TJMaxx for $59.00! There was one black and one pink in the handbags section. The pink was really pretty! It had a detachable shoulder strap and a nicely padded changing pad. Definitely girly!

BTW, my local TJMaxx is the Whitehall/Allentown, PA one.

Thanks, Mariana! I don't know if Andrew would do well with a sling type backpack. I will probably stick with the more traditional ones. Thanks for the information!

Hi Toni!
Good to see you! I wanted to send you an email, but I can't get a hold of your email address. Anyway, I'm glad to see that you still have your Activpak! I rarely use mine now, but I find it hard to part with it! For $30.00 it was a bargain compared to most of the other bags we're eyeing!

FWIW, I've been happiest with the Skiphop, but I love looking at what else is out there! The "hunt" is half the fun! :)

Nina,

Good to see you too! Congratulations on the birth of Sara!

I love my Activpak, even though I haven't used it in awhile. Like you said, it's hard to give it up. Even though Andrew is 2 years old now (gosh, how did that happen? ), I am still on the hunt for a new diaper bag. DH will be excited when Andrew is out of diapers, because then I might give up my diaper bag hunt! Heehee!

Did you try to e-mail me through the link in my post? I had 2 other people try to e-mail me through the boards and they weren't able to. I checked and I do have it set to receive e-mails from people on the board.

ETA: I am going to e-mail you through the boards and send you my e-mail address.

I clicked on your name and I got the message: "user profile disabled." Hopefully you'll be able to get my email, I believe I have it set up for that.

In the meantime, we'll just have to keep posting on this forum! Our husbands will never understand this obsession. Hope you and your family have a great holiday :)
