WANTED: The Perfect Diaper Bag

This is my fourth baby that's due in five weeks.  I'm no newbie; I know what I want in a diaper bag.  In essence, it's the bag I had 6 years ago with Alex.  And I canNOT find another one like it!

Here's my "essentials" list for its specifications:

  • It needs an adjustable shoulder strap that can be long enough to go cross-body or over stroller handles
  • It needs a "Purse Pocket" on the outside that has a three-quarter unzip (unzips on left, top, and right sides of pocket to REALLY open up), preferably with 2 zipper pulls so I can open just a little or a lot.  This "Purse Pocket" would also be ideal if it had a tiny mirror buttoned inside, a keys hook, two lipstick pouches, card slots, and room enough for cell and wallet.
  • A change pad would be nice.
  • Elastic pockets on the sides for bottle/sippie cup/ jar of food, etc.
  • The large top pocket would have some sort of dividers or additional pockets and the whole interior would only be big enough for about 3-4 diapers, small wipes box, a bib, change of clothes, 2 small toys, binky, small Tylenol, spoon, and a snack bag of Cheerios.  In other words, it's a "Mini."  I do NOT "do" large diaper bags!
  • NOT with pink or cutesie animals... the color should be pretty plain or neutral, like Navy, Forest, Brown, or other similar.

So far, I've found bags with, like, 4 or 5 of the 6 requirements.  They all lack something.  But... I KNOW it exists!  I had one!  And it didn't cost a fortune, either!  If I recall correctly, I got it at Wal-Mart.  *sigh*  Eddie Bauer comes closest, so far.  Look at the bag on the right at the bottom of this page:

Here's another one that's pretty close: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3427325

And this one, too: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3565557

I just hesitate to purchase something on-line when I'm so desirous of something SO specific, ya know?

Wish me good fortune and happy hunting!  I have five weeks to go!  Aaaaaaah!

Blessings!    ♥Christi

You are too sweet to look into that for me! Thank you! It DOES look like a great bag. And it has excellent reviews. It's not the "mini" I'm looking for, though, and it doesn't have the "purse pocket." Drat! It makes me wish I wasn't so specific. Thank you so much for looking and for posting.

Blessings,
Christi

With so many "reality shows" out there, I thought I'd take a break and blog a little on the only reality I know... MY reality. I am a Christian woman, wife, mother, and homeschooler. Without further ado, these are my real thoughts about life around me. I hope it honors and glorifies Christ Jesus.
