How many diaper bags

[MoJo]

Honestly, none.

For daily use, I just put stuff in my big purse. For longer trips, I use one of my messenger bags with compartments &/or keep stuff in the trunk of the car.

Technically we have three, but one is only going to be used a diaper bag:
freebie from the hospital, which DH quickly took and started using for hunting stuff
Eddie Bauer diaper messenger bag; used this for DD and it was a great bag, but it was really starting to show it's age, so now DH has appropriated it and it's DH's second hunting bag.

Prior to discovering the Ju-Ju-Be Pink Room over a year ago, I would have said just 1. Now I have to say 7 All JJB's - two Betweens, two Be Smalls, a MiniBe, a BRB, and a WannaBe. Oh, and two Be Changeds (but I don't count those as diaper bags, more glorified changing pads ) The Pink Room totally sucked me in!!!

That place is dangerous! I like reading everyone's posts, but since I am a minimalist for the most part that was why I bought the Be Spicy instead of the BeTween, and a Mighty Be (plus I really wanted the Sangria Mighty Be and that is no where to be found these days). I am thinking about a checkbook cover (as I do need one) and maybe one of the BeLight bags.

I have 3, but I only use one of them.

I have 5 but 2 were free from the hospital...so they don't count right???
Of the other 3- one I don't ever use (it's a pottery barn kids bag), one is an llbean diaper bag that I use on occasion and the last is the lands end backpack I just got a couple of weeks ago and so far really like. And actually I use the 2 free ones...one is exclusively used for the sitter's house and the other is nice and small so I use it offen on short trips to the store or a playdate.

I have 5 but IT'S NOT MY FAULT!

MIL had one made for each of the 2 younger ones, but they're soooo not my style. They're cute fabrics, but I like diaper bags that don't look like diaper bags, and I certainly don't like cloth bags. I use them for overnight stays or babysitters. I also make sure they go with us when we go visit MIL or when they come here. Luckily they only do that every couple of months.

Diaper bag #3 is a bag that I got from Target. It's a canvas bag with lots of pockets, but the bag is too thin and too deep, and the outside pockets are hard to access. It was my main bag for #2 after my PPB knock off cratered.

Diaper bag #4 is my beloved Amy Michelle Gladiola bag from ebags in green. It's the perfect bag. It's roomy enough for all my crap for myself and 3 kids, and it looks like a stylish purse. It's got great outer pockets with magnetic closures on all of them, and lots of inner pockets. And the stroller straps are fabulous.

Diaper bag #5 is my newest splurge, and a total impulse buy from babysteals a couple of weeks ago. It's a fleurville g-luxe in white. I have wanted this bag since I first got pregnant, but wasn't willing to shell out the $ for it. When it came up on babysteals I caved. I haven't even used it yet, but I think it'll be a great bag when the baby is out of the "can't leave the house without taking half of the nursery" stage.

So out of 5 bags, I only really use 1, and I have a backup for smaller outings or for the toddler days when you don't need quite so much crap. Both of them look like purses though, so I can use them later on too.

I voted 1 but that's only because it's the only bag made to be a diaper bag. I use mostly totes or just whatever bag I'm carrying now.

I need to change my vote. Originally I had 2 and was planning on buying two more but I think I will be sticking with only one more, the lands end back pack and not the vera bradley (even though it's 20% off the sale price of the pattern I want) For now 3 is enough....or is it

UPDATE: In my typical style at the last moment I decided to go with the ju ju be be right back instead of the Land End back pack. (I had to make a decision as we have a trip to NYC in 2 weeks to go house hunting) I hope I made the right choice.

I'm at least glad to see there are others who have more than 5. And in my defense, I got almost all of these at a big discount. I also have 4 children from ages 16 yrs to 3 months. I do switch off & use them all.

From Petunia Pickle Bottom, I have a Boxy Backpack in Komono Roll, a Touring Tote in Dragon Roll & a Crosstown Clutch in Sightseeing in Sumatra. All came from their super cheap online outlet sales.

I have a light blue Sling Tote from Fleurville (came from a message board where someone got it as a shower gift, didn't like it & wanted to unload it cheap) & ordered the Fleurville Re-run Messenger bag in Ogo with my Franklin Goose credits. You know because I really need another diaper bag LOL I love that print & figured it's free to why not. And I'd purchased 3 of their wristlets separately. I love those things & use them all the time.

I have a 2 Sally Spicer totes (I had 1 defective SS bag so they gave me a discount code to use, though I'm embarassed to admit how many Sally Spicer bags I have total, it's double digits now), Baby Gap diaper bag backpack (used to work for them & used employee discount), a Lands End Do-it-all & Little Tripper (they are both 10 yrs old but still look brand new) & then 3 of the hospital bags.

I think that's it. Some people buy too many purses or shoes, for me it's diaper bags.

Zero.

I can get a couple of diapers and a travel pack of wipes in my purse. If I need more room, I have a gallon ziploc bag.

We travel light.

Two. One I used with DD and I still have it, but don't use it anymore. I have a different one that I use with DS.
