I fell in love with the skip hop studio diaper tote in black and purchased it today for +tax. I have read great reviews on it and think it will last me a long time and it is so cute! Do you think I paid too much for a diaper bag? Do any of you own it and think it is great? Thanks!

Hello all. I was wondering how necessary is a "diaper bag"? I have a large purse that measures 15X11X2 so I was wondering if I could fit all my baby’s essentials in that? I don’t want to have to carry a purse AND a diaper bag. I like the nooks and crannys of diaper bags, but I’m not a fan of the prints/sizes. So, are those dimensions big enough and does not having the bottle holders and thousands of pockets horribly necessary?

I also plan on buying a bigger bag for overnight visits to my parents and in-laws and for that I was thinking the SKIP HOP backpack…it’s a child’s backpack primarily designed for a preschooler age child and is so cute, but i was wondering if it could double as a overnight bag for baby and possibly his hospital bag?

What do you ladies use? And what do your husbands use? Do they mind carrying around a purse diaper bag or should he have his own bag, too? So many questions, but this our first…can you tell?! haha
