New diaper bag, your input please!!!

[mommato2boys]

I need a new diaper bag, I have an itch for a new one, bored with all my old bags. Here's what I need: I need a LARGE bag. I pack a lot, I leave the house in the morning and return in the evening (DS goes to work with me) so I need to be able to bring a couple changes of clothes, diapers, wipes, toys, etc. I have tried smaller bags, but just don't work for me, I end up stuffing them.
I have the DIA bag, I like the room, but it is NOT stylish at all!!! And very bulky when packed.
I would love something stylish or with a nice print. Not to girly since that isn't really me. I don't have to have a changing pad since I have some from other bags so I am open to non-diaper bag options that work well. I have a quest stroller that I use often so it must hang off the back (no short handles). I would look at backpacks too. I don't really like shiney bags. Nothing really delicate either. Don't need bottle holders, I use a separate bags for drinks and snacks.

I am looking at the mothership bag, only because I now see they offer it in black. How big is this bag really? What about the shoulder strap, I am short, can they now be adjusted???

What about lesportsac bags? Any one have one?

What other bags am I missing...throw ideas or suggestions at me!!!!! TIA!!!

Look at the Lexie Barnes Superstar! It's a fabulous bag. Big and packable, and much lighterweight and more pliable than the Mothership. The strap is adjustable and has an oh so comfy cushion on it that makes carrying it a dream. I have to keep reminding myself that I'm carrying a hugely packed bag because it feels like nothing back there. Seriously!

The prints that are out now are pretty nice IMO, but some of them are hard to find because these bags are so popular right now. Word is that new prints are coming out in April. If you can't wait until then, there is a good list of retailers on the Lexie Barnes website. I would recommend http://www.mylittleducks.com, http://www.bebecandy.com, http://www.sophiebags.com, and http://www.expressivetoys.com as places to look for in-stock LB bags. You can always see what's in stock at various places and go from there.

HTH!!

Check out the Posh Ultimate, I think it's really the biggest thing out there! I love the pockets, it's a great size, good organization! Criticisms: it's expensive, the hardware and straps are cheaper, and it's a floppier bag. However, you can fit a ton in it, including a bottle of wine in one of the interior bottle pockets, err, should you need to do so. :)

I agree with both these gals, these are both great bags and large. I also have a Lesportsac (the Baby bag) and I like it, too- it is VERY stuffable and can probably hold the same as the DIA. It definitely doesn't stand up on its own, though, it actually collapses down to almost nothing... not sure if that matters to you. I love the Lesportsac if I need to pack a lot, and use it for my DSs stuff when we go overnight!
