Backpack diaper bag -- which one?

[JamieMK]

I have a 10 month old and plan on having another baby next year. I'm already finding it difficult to juggle a diaper bag, squirmy baby and other items. Thought a great solution might be a backpack diaper bag. Wondering what recommendations you expert mamas have on kinds to consider. Prefer one that's not super heavy and is a good quality (but not overly expensive). Please help!

I'm curious about this as well! I have been using a Land's End diaper bag- but it is needing some repair work. So am wondering if there is something comparable out there....... hopefully you'll get some other responses!

Land's End has a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Call them and tell them the problem. They'll send you a free replacement! I used to put my kids in their Squall jackets and had a zipper rip in one and they replaced it right away. It was a year and a 1/2 old.

I love my backpack diaper bag and with two kids, it's the best! Messenger bags are too cumbersome, if you bend down (unless you are quick enough and have the presence of mind to throw it behind you) to try and grab a sprinting toddler, it gets in the way.

I don't know what you are willing to spend but here are some links you can start with:

These are very nice bags, but way too expensive for my daughter's budget (as most of her friends).

We bought her the infant seat, stroller, and LOTS of clothes so far. I'm trying very hard to resist buying everything for them. She and her BF need to learn to do this own their own.

Way past diapering stages here and these are still in regular use and still going strong! Costco did have them online if you are a member.

I do remember Costco having them but they don't have them anymore.

Wow GonnaBeNana, I do believe your daughter is spoiled or she just has the best momma ever!

I bought a Skip Hop via Backpack and love it! I have an infant and a 4 year old. I have plenty of room, it's good quality, it looks nice, has tons of storage/organizational pockets, and can easily strap onto a stroller. It's comfortable to wear - not too big or little. The only downside to it is that it doesn't have insulated bottle holders (but has 4 mesh pockets to put bottles. Love this backpack. I had a regular skip hop dash deluxe, and while I have 2 kids this summer - I prefer my backpack!!

You can have Bed Bath & Beyond order it online and if you have a 20% coupon you can use it. I was able to get it at another store for $53.
