Okay it's voting time again! This time its all about diaper bags. I can't decide if I should get something colorful and fun, or something a little more plain and versatile. I have shopped around in Winnipeg a bit and haven't found much that I love, so here are some I found on the internet. Let me know what you think. (they are in no particular order)
#1 - Isn't this one so sleek and stylish? The color and clean lines attract me, but I'm not sure how practical it looks.
#2 - I like this one because of the simple colors and how it has a seperate pouch for everything - so organized! I think it's cute how they all have a little label, like "change me" for the diaper pouch, and "feed me" for the bottle holder.
#3 - These are more like traditional diaper bags I suppose. The one I like is the chocolate brown one with the blue accents. I can get initials put on the front or leave it plain.
#4 - I'm not quite sure about this one - does it look too much like a duffel bag? The colors are nice though.
#5 - I love the pattern and colors on this for spring, but would I get sick of it after a while?
#6 - The shape of this one is interesting. I like that it looks more like a big purse than a diaper bag.
#7 - This one is cute and fun, but not too busy. It looks like it would hold a lot of stuff.

my vote would be for #3 or #7. just cause i know how much "crap" you will be needing to take along. the more room the better i think.
my favorite one for looks is #1, but exactly like Patti said (great mommy minds think alike), #3 & #7 will make you happier in the long run...you want a bag that can fit everything you need...my bad is alot like #7 - and it has been great.
in my diaper bag i usually have at least 2 bottles, 7 diapers, a warm blanket, a recieving blanket, a tupperware with cherrios, 2 applesauces, 1 veggies, at least 1 pair of extra clothes, slippers, medicine, wipes, change pad, kleenex, "garbage" bags, books, a spoon, water cup, and washcloths. That will become your normal packing (ok, a few months down the road - but still!). and i like that most of the time i can still fit MY purse in there too, so i'm not carrying 2 bags on one shoulder plus carrying Kamryn, and then trying to close the car door & lock it. You will realize that we should have been created as octopus. You'll need that many hands. but you get used to it, right Patti?
YIKES Janelle, you are prepared! ;)
Brandi, here is my two cents worth:(take it or leave it!)
#2 - Personally I wouldn't like all the seperate pouches...when you need something from your diaper bag you need it NOW and to unzip a bunch of seperate compartments would be a process. When the baby is crying, you usually look for short cuts and the quickest way to do things. You are pretty organized tho, I know I would never take the time to put things back in the right place and the bag would end up in disaster.
#3 & #7 - these look to be the right size, I love the brown one! The initals are a cute idea (unless of course you want to use the bag for the rest of your kids...). If you bought the bag blank, we could always embroider it for you...just a thought.
The other ones are very fun and fashionable, but I don't know how functional they would be. Also, you got to ask yourself "Would Scott carry it around?" Because the daddy will inevitably have to cart the bag around too.
Keep in mind, this is all coming from the person who has changed diaper bags 3 times since Hailey was born.....the first one was too small, and I just get bored easily! :) Good Luck!
Well, although Crissi and I think bag #1 is TOTALLY you the others have a point about needing a big bag. Crissi vetos #5&6 because of Amber's comments about Scott having to carry the bag...but they are soooo stylish! #7 seems like a nice size but the colors aren't you. You're the kind of girl that needs a JUICY bag:)!!
My Pick is number 7.
I love #3 and #7!
brandi:
thanks for letting us vote again, i think #4 looks like a bolwing bag; #3 or #7 would be my pick. i like the fact amber could embroider on the bag for you. couldn't you get a name written on any bag? and if you don't want to do the babies name so that you can use it again you could always do your last name.
TRACY
Love #7, it wouldn't look so bad with Scott carrying that one. #3 is good too.
Yes, #1 looks totally like something you'd use - looks like a Brandi type of bag. Not a good diaper bag though
I say either #5 or #7...I just think #5 is SO beautiful! I would use it for Spring/Summer and then get something new for Fall/Winter. Hey, we do that with our purses why not with diaper bags, right!? I LOVE the colors of #7! They're so flashy and sweet! And it would be something Scott could carry too. Good luck! You have a great list to choose from...Just don't pick #4, it DOES look like a bowling ball bag. :)See you next Tuesday!
My vote is for #1 or #2, but what do I know? I don't have kids, probably never will... or at least not for a very, very long time, so I still make my decisions based purely on appearance, and not on whether it's practical! (#1 is totally you!)
