The Quest for Diaper Bags

Okay, I've been somewhat distracted lately. Patiently waiting for baby. My due date isn't for a few more days, but still...anytime would be great! I am ready to meet our baby. Going for a loooooong walk tonight.

In the meantime, we've been busy nesting, if you will. It's been a lot of fun getting furniture, car seat, stroller, bottles and more. And now finally, I've started searching for the diaper bag.

It's trickier than I thought it would be. More to consider than I thought. For one, does it function for me as well? Would Daddy be good with carrying the bag as well? I've come to the conclusion that a bag for him is not necessarily what I would like to carry. Here is an example of a bag that I absolutely love.

1. It looks like a regular tote, not a diaper bag.
2. It doesn't have a crazy pattern that matches the baby's "sleeper".
3. It's functional for me and baby.

Nest - Canvas Diaper Bag in Khaki with Black Trim - $220



A bag for Daddy, it's definitely not. Here's one more his speed.

1. It's black.
2. It does not look like a purse.
3. Did I mention it does not look like a purse??

Skip Hop - Duo Deluxe Edition Diaper Bag in Black - $53.99




Oh, and it actually clips to the stroller.



You see the dilemma, not an easy decision. Or, do I start using some of my own larger totes and just buy the change pad. Both of these bags are on Diaper Bag Boutique.com. And they deliver to Canada.

Perhaps I should wait to make a decision when I'm thoroughly exhausted and up for the middle of the night feeding. My guess is that I'll feel quite justified in buying both. In the meantime, I'll continue to search the site for more great finds.
