I know there have been posts showing off new diaper bags before, so sorry if this is redundant! Could I please see pics of your bags and what you LOVE about them?? *what you dislike, or wish were different would also be REALLY helpful!

my wants/needs in a diaper bag:
~roomy enough for a change of clothes, diapers, wipes, a spare bottle, snacks for DD, and space for my wallet...but not HUGE
~Easily laundered or cleaned
~Feminine, but not so "girly" that DH will refuse to use it (or i could get him a 2nd one i guess)
~long shoulder strap, not the 2 handle thing
~not more than about $30

Mine has all the above things that you listed and I am in love with it. BUT it was $400...but I've used it for 3 years and even as a purse too I LOVE IT. So I think it's worth the money! It's Mia Bossi.

I wanted to add too --that my husband doesn't need his own bag, nor does he use this one. He is rarely out with our baby alone. It's always us together or just me because he works so much. Our baby is 12 months old and he has never had an issue where he needed a more masculine looking bag because he never needed one! :)

Bump!  I'm interested to see these too.  I have a diaper bag still from DS - however I need to get a larger one, and one with more pockets/storage space.  Because now I'll need to carry all the stuff for baby, and for DS and I don't want to tote around more than one bag.

This is what I'm going to use. It isn't actually a diaper bag, but I'm going to use it as one.

If you don't like that one, Target has other cute options. Just look in the tote section. I thought this one was really cute. The only thing I don't like is that it doesn't have all the pockets that the other one has.

That is a really good price for such a fun bag. It's pretty feminine though hehe.
