I have a Fisher Price Fast-Finder diaper bag that has tons of interior pockets for pacifiers, bottles, hand sanitizer, a big shoulder strap so you can wear it cross-body, and it's a neutral gray color so Steve can carry it too. I really wanted to get a Petunia Pickle Bottom bag because the boxy backpack is so big it was sure to hold everything I needed. It also appeared easy to carry the bag and baby at the same time, but the designs are so diaper-bag-esque. I couldn't find a design that didn't scream "Look at me and my diaper bag!!" And, I swear they did not have this PPB bag for sale when I was looking for a bag or I might have gotten it (but it might be odd to watch Steve to carry it-don't want to discourage your baby-daddy's from carrying the diaper bag, trust me!!). We considered getting the Diaper Dude for him, but I'm glad we have only one bag that's unisex. Keeping one bag stocked is hassle enough!
A Word on the Essentials:
Changing pad - usually included with the diaper bag you purchase, or you can buy a Diaper Changing Station to stick in your bag
Bibs - keep the gross, carrot stained bibs at home, and get these nicer bibs from Dwell Studio for going out in public
Dr Brown's Container for pre-dished out Servings of Formula, can be used later for solids
A Word on the Extras:
Itzy Ritzy Cart/High Chair Cover - I like these because there will be a bit of extra room when you place baby in the chair/cart. These are good for filling up the extra gap so he's snug and not wobbling all over. You could also use a blanket or swaddle.
Itzy Ritzy Snack bag AND Itzy Ritzy Sealed Wet Bag - These are more fashionable than using ziplock baggies or the Kroger plastic bags, and more fun too! I put pacifiers, chapstick, tissues, anything small in the snack bag. The wet bag is good for diapers, swimwear, beach, travel, etc.
