    Default Cute backpack style diaperbag for 2 under 2...(and clutch/purse?)

    I really need to free up my arms more with my 7 week old and almost 20 month old. I want something cute-DH will probably never carry it and if he does, too bad-and something that can fit a lot of stuff...we have a lot of diaper days to go.

    Online I've looked at the PPB Boxy backpack, JJB Packabee, BRB, and BFF, and Timi and Leslie backpack diaper bags.

    Anything I'm missing and which one do you think is best? I would prefer to keep it around $100 but I do have a birthday right after Xmas and people asking for ideas so could go a bit more.

    Also, bonus for a small purse/clutch recommendation that I could throw in said backpack without taking up too much room. I hate moving my wallet and cell phone back and forth, it would be nice to have something pretty small that could work to keep them in but that I could grab and take with me sans diaperbag the rare times I'm somewhere without the kids. (I've already found myself places with my purse but no wallet b/c I forgot my wallet was in the diaperbag.) They don't necessarily have to match each other.

    I have a Bumble Collectipn Jana bag. It is a Babysteals exclusive but almost identical to the Taylor transitional bag http://www.thebumblecollection.com/b...ional-bag.html

    I have 2 in cloth diapers. I love that it is machine washable and can be worn a ton of ways, including backpack style.

    OMG I have this already! (The babysteals version that was also sold on myhabit.com.)

    How do you wear it as a backpack?

    Mine came with a ton of different straps one is the backpack one. I think the video on this page shows how to wear it as a backpack. http://babysteals.stealnetwork.com/a...ription&id=735

    I have 2 recommendations for you. One is the Hobo Lauren wallet. A good friend of mine introduced me to this AMAZING wallet. I actually found a knock-off at JC Penney nearly 2 years ago, which suited my budget better... especially since I wanted to "test-drive" the setup before investing in the Hobo. It actually worked out so well that I didn't need to get the Hobo, HA! Anyway, the setup is very nice. One side of the clutch is great for bills and the other side was a perfect fit for my smartphone. It was super easy to find in the diaper bag to grab and go for quick errands.

    Another option could be this small Baggallini bag: Triple Zip Bagg. I had one for a while (slightly different, now discontinued). Love the brand. The one I carry now is a little bit bigger: Wallet Bagg. I love having my own mommy bag! Cross-body/hands-free is a key!

    Thanks! I never even looked at the straps in the pouch b/c I thought they were just stroller straps, turns out it was there all along. I am so glad you replied!
