I am having the hardest time finding a diaper bag I like. Probably because I am so picky. Here are my requirements:
- Not too big. I don’t want to carry around an entire nursery worth of stuff.
- Messenger bag. I hate totes. Those 2 handles annoy me when one handle falls off my shoulder.
- Stroller straps.
- Water/Poop resistant.
- Not made out of that shower-curtain-like material.
- Not pink and overly girly. Maybe a hint of pink.
- Not hideous.
- Did I mention not too big?? because that seems to be the hardest of the criteria
Here are a few I have found, but I’m not really convinced on any of them.
Bumble Bags Jessica Messenger Bag – I saw this one at a local store early in my pregnancy. I really liked it, but I didn’t buy it because I had plenty of time to find a diaper bag. It was only $80 at the store, so now I’m kind of kicking myself for not buying it.
Ju-Ju-Be Be All in Houndstooth – I love houndstooth. This one looks very fashionable. The problem is that in the picture that shows scale with a model, it looks huge.
OiOi Floral Messenger – This one is also fashionable. But according to the dimensions it’s larger than the Ju-Ju-Be, so it’s probably too big.
This decision is made harder by the fact that none of these are available at local stores (anymore) so I can’t touch and feel and “try on” the bags. Sigh. So I’m holding out for hopes that the right bag is out there somewhere. Anyone have any recommendations?
