baby bags.

By the time this 4th little arrives, in total I’ll have spent 3 years pregnant.  When you consider that I’m almost 30 that’s one tenth of my entire life, and a third of the nine years we’ve been married.  I told Mr. that since I’ve spent a healthy amount of time growing our babies, I think I aught to have a really great baby bag…


He agrees ;-)


I’ve been shopping around for the last couple months and these are my 8 favorites.

(Obviously, narrowing things down isn’t my strong suit.)


(And these are just bags, you should see the trouble I have with baby names.)


So what do you think, which one would you choose?


1. Cake Society Bag: by Petunia Pickle Bottom.
3. Stevie Baby Bag: By Kate Spade.
4. Blooming Begonia Organic Sashay Satchel: By Petunia Pickle Bottom

2. Multipocket Baby Bag: By Storksak.
3. Elizabeth Baby Bag: By Storksak.

    Chic and Understated! Love it. You won’t always be expecting. ; ) That day will come when you will want nothing to do with a diaper bag anymore. lol. And the second grouping is so classic. Just my thoughts. They are all actually SO fun! Maybe get one in both groupings. HA ha.

    Great bags!I love the stripey one but really like the idea of haveing a diaper bag that looks a bit more like a handbag. My vote (is there a vote?) goes to the Elizabeth leather baby bag.
    Good luck choosing :)

  3. I own the Sashay Satchel by Petunia Pickle Bottom and It is honestly the best baby bag out there! It looks like a handbag but it has all the features of a diaper bag, I preffer the glazed material but the pink Begonia Organic Cotton is to die for! It also has the optional backpack straps, it’s the perfect companion for traveling too. I also owned the Cake Society Satchel and although it’s beautiful, It’s a bit heavy. Hope this helps!

    I can see your dilemma. That would be a hard choice to make. My favorite would be the Blooming Begonia bag, but I think you would get tired of it too soon.

    I would go with the Elizabeth Baby Bag. I think the dark color would keep dirt from showing, and it would match most things. Maybe you need a new pair of boots to match?

    I had this same problem when I was looking for a baby bag… I wanted something that wasn’t cute as in cartoons. I love #3 from the top and #4 from the bottom. I think #4 is my favorite.

    Definitely the striped Kate Spade! I’m in love with an orange, stripey diaper bag by Kate Spade. Stripes are just so fun!

    They are all fab! The cake society bag just speaks to me….I have a thing for black & white and tapestry :) But I understand the other comments about wanting a bag you can use later….so my fave in the bottom group is #3. Very classic!

  11. Oh my goodness. What choices. Either 2 from feminine and fabulous. Or 4 from chic and understated.

  12. I love 1 from the first collection, I own the other version of that bag but wish I owned that one, seriously AMAZING! My husband calls it my golden diaper bag

    I vote for the Elizabeth leather baby bag. I’ve owned an embarrassing amount of diaper bags and the only one I’ve ever been happy with for longer than a month is my Jujube Behave that looks like a regular purse and not a diaper bag. Plus, with subsequent children, I realized I didn’t have to carry as much as I did for my first baby. I also like that the Elizabeth bag has the option for the cross-body carry which I MUCH prefer to the backpack styles (that always made me feel like an elementary school kid). Congrats!

    I love #2 b/c it can go with black or brown. It looks super CUTE and functional :).

  15. I like the Elizabeth Leather Baby Bag in the tan cowhide. It is amazing!

    Posted 9.27.12 Reply
  16. I like the tan Elizabeth leather baby bag. I like the color and its versatility. It seems like i”m not the only one :). I actually got a LUlulemon bag and used that as my baby bag. ITs great. Now i’ve started using it again to store extra clothes for my son as he is now potty trained but we want to be prepared for accidents.

  17. Oh the Elizabeth Leather for sure. The top ones (feminine and fab) are cute but look like they have a narrow top to them and that makes it hard to get stuff out. Better to have one that is longer along the top that zips and you can get stuff out of it. The Elizabeth Leather looks so gorgeous but also functional, which when you have 4 (I know!) is super important!

  18. I like #1 from the top!

    Love #3!!! Looks so much like a cute purse. Who would ever think it is a baby bag. Looks like there is lots of room and would be comfortable to carry!

  21. I love #3 in the first set and #1 in the second set. Can’t go wrong with either one :)

  22. My favorites are #3 from the feminine set, and #2 from the understated set. But it’d be hard to go *wrong* with any of those choices!
    And I’ve blown my mind before to do the math on how much of my life has been pregnant and/or nursing! LOL

    Either the Stevie by Kate Spade or one of the two Elizabeth’s by Storksak. The Elizabeth’s will go with more outfits (the stripes and color of the Stevie might be limiting, but only if that matters).

    I like both of the #1 bags. I’d personally go with the Cake Society though, the Kate Spade bag had a few reviews that ruined it for me. One was the short straps and the other was the weight of the bag without anything in it. Plus, the cake society can be a back pack too!!!

    Love them all ! After my first baby I quickly realised that a diaper bag never is big enough, so I got that one and it’s huuuuuge !

    Even if my boys are bigger now, I still use it as a gym or beach bag !

    I like #3 in the second group. It’s not as feminine as the others which means your husband could carry it without it looking too much like a purse. :)

    My fav is the striped Kate Spade, but I’d say you probably can’t go wrong. I will also say that having gone through 3 baby bags myself, I will ALWAYS go with one with the two pockets on the outside. (All of the 1st group has those) I still use them for go-to water bottles and am now looking for a non-baby bag that has them. Can’t find one! Have fun shopping!!

    I have been obsessed with the kate spade one since I saw it on CamilleStyle’s blog (http://camillestyles.com/life-2/in-my-diaper-bag/) I am also obsessed with her hospital bag! Not to add another option to the list… (http://camillestyles.com/life-2/in-my-hospital-bag-2/)

    I love #3 in the first group. It remind me of your style because you seem to love stripes and it is pretty neutral and will match a lot of outfits. I also like that it doesn’t scream diaper bag.

    I also like #3 & #4 in the second group. They are both very pretty and #4 reminds me of your Michael Kors bag. They both are also very husband friendly as they are not overly girly!

    I’ve have not had good luck with my Kate Spade baby bags. My advice…scrimp on a baby bag…splurge on a GREAT (nonbaby) bag laters. For what it’s worth.

    Feminine and fabulous #1 – firstly, it’s adorable, and secondly, with convertible straps, it’s practical too! Winning on all counts :-)

    In my experience, I got tired quickly of the multi-colored, patterned bags. I currently use a petunia pickle bottom that has the backpack option(which is so important for chasing my three boys). I’ve heard great things about storksak so my vote is #4. Having said that, My most favorite functional bag was my skip hop one-it’s just not so stylish.

    I would chose number 3, because the zipper is big, so if you’re rushing/some emergency, there’s a great main zip that you pull open and you find all your stuff there. Plus, it’s like chic + casual and brightens up any outfit. So, ultimately. cool mom on a rush.

    I got nothing. I just threw a changing pad, extra diaper, and travel sized wipes in my purse and kept it moving. I’ve never used a diaper bag.

    But I think numbers 3(feminine) and 4 (understated) would be cute purses.

  48. I know someone with each of those diaper bags and I’ve got to say the Kate Spade bag is probably my fav. Super chic and functional. The Petunia backpacks though are super nice for hands free on the go which is a must with 4 littles! Can’t wait to see what you end up with!

    That’s a toughie. I’ve been eying baby bags myself. I love the StorkSak in tan becasue it looks like a real handbag and could be used for years to come. But the Petunia Pickle Bottom Blooming Begonia Organic Cotton Sashay Satchel is adorable. I’m considering a Miche handbag that will be both diaper and fashion friendly, with changeable outer shells. Can’t wait to see what you choose!

  50. I have serious love for kate spade, and I really hate to not pick one of those. But I really like #4 – It has a lot of personality and is so cute! :) I seriously cannot wait to see your new little and find out her name. :)

  51. Love the Stevie bag. SO cute. Have you seen JJCole’s? They have some cute ones and they are so organized inside. Love that. Good luck!

    Petunia has an outlet!! If you subscribe to their emails, they will send you a notice of when they’re having their next outlet sale. Some items are discontinued, some have a small defect and are more discounted. I bought mine for $75 while it was still at Nordstrom for $150+
