1. I've never bought one. The three I received I got from baby showers.
2. I have not bought one yet. But I will be soon.
3. So far, nothing. I was given two at the hospital(a similac and an evenflo) that are great.
4. $100-00 AUD It will last through two kids though.
5. I use a 33-gallon black plastic bag for my diapers.
6. I think I spent like $45 on a hand made one.
7. I got a great one free from the hospital when I had my daughter. It is the only one I use.
8. When my neice and nephew was born, my family had to buy , like $40.00 worth of diapers for them.
9. $390 on my Coach optic diaper bag that I had to have & never carry, lol Haha it must be the Coach Optic like I have, dont bother hardly holds anything & the shape is difficult to carry when you are also holding baby
10. I personally never purchased a diaper bag, but i did receive a few from my baby shower. They ranged in size and price range.... but to tell you the truth the one I got free from the hospital is the one I ended up using the most. Crazy huh?
11. nothing, i always got one at the baby shower, both times
12. I think the last one I bought was around $25,I had to get a big one b/c I had a new born and an infant,and need one that was big and held alot!
13. Such a long time ago for this stage for me. I would guess around $20-$35.00. Just depends on what all you want with your diaper bag and size of bag too.
14. 8 dollars, or get them for free!
15. I just recently got a Vera Bradley diaper bag, it was supposed to cost $80.00 but it had a slight imperfection and it was free. I love it so much that I would have spent $80.00 on it and that would have been the most expensive diaper bag I'd ever purchased. The nice thing about it is that they are trendy, come in lots of different colors and are 100% cotton and totally washable. If you buy a coach bag, which would be really nice... but very expensive... you should really consider what's going to go inside of it... like clothes that have been spit up on, dirty shoes, cookie crumbs, formula/milk/juice spills... etc. Get a nice coach purse instead, then you don't have to worry about it getting dirty. I can tell you from experience that the bottom of my old diaper bag is SO nasty from everything that comes with having twin girls. It couldn't be washed clean so the outside of it was filthy too. Consider something that can be washed. It will be helpful in the longrun.
16. Nothing. I got two from baby showers, one free from Enfamil at the hospital, and one free from Similac at my doctor's office.
17. My husband bought me a $50 diaper bag for mother's day, before my daughter was born. Very cute, but kind of bulky and not a whole lot of storage space. I got one from the hospital, which I thought I would never use, but now it is the ONLY one I use. I think I only used the other one (from my husband) about 5 times. The Evenflo one from the hospital looks smaller, but the entire thing is storage space. Plus, it's the only one that fits into the stroller when we're out and about. It's actually very nuetral looking too- just plain black. I would never buy another diaper bag again.
18. i received mine from the baby shower.....never bought one for me....bought one for a co-worker's baby shower....spend $50....really nice....it was a group gift and we filled it up with stuff...
19. $20 or $30 if your looking for something on the cheaper side 2nd hand baby stores are great.
20. I have had the Skip Hop Dash bag since my guy was born. He is now 2 1/2 and it is still in great condition. It has all of the room that I ever needed. It was about $80.... not to expensive or too cheap, but it got me through the diaper bag age....
21. Think about it, you're going to carry formula and diapers in it, how much WOULD you spend on it? Take the free one from the hospital.
22. It is utterly rediculous to spend a bunch of money on a diaper bag. Yes you will use it, but you will also find times when you go somewhere and dont feel like carrying the heavy thing around so you stick bottle, formular, a couple diapers and small wipe box in your purse. So much for that expensive diaper bag that is sitting in your car.
23. $40
24. For the first baby, the bags you get in the hospital are usually just right. If you have two in diapers or one potty-training and one in diapers you will need a big one. I got so many from the hospital and they are just the right size for errands in town and short visits to friends and family. If you breatfeed, then when it comes time for a bigger bag you will only need to buy a duffel bag since you don't need any storage for milk just diapers, clothes and little "purse stuff". I bought a $25 one and that has lasted three years. I bought a backpack style diaper bag for $50 and it didn't make it two months, the vinyl lining tore and the straps loosen at will, its been banised to the closet.
25. i got a beautiful red satin chinese pattern diaper bag that is a mon petite from sears! it was on clearance because every season sears gets new baby gear in. you may want to check out clearance items at local department stores. mine was originally 50$ that i got for 14$!!! or, when you deliver, ask the hospital if they have the enfamil diaper bags they usually give out
26. I got 2 at showers (both in the $40 range) and the hospital gave me one too
27. 25 bucks i refuse to pay anymore than that
28. Yeah, I spent that on my Kate Spade Newbury bag. But, I ended up not liking it. It had no compartments and was completely open. Ended up getting a Dooney & Burke from my hubby at Christmas and LOVE it!! Yes, milk spills. Along with other stuff. Just be prepared to empty and wash it out regularly. I do it at least once a week. Usually more because I'm scared of mold and bacteria, but I've not had any of that. I also keep ziplocks in the bag for dirty onesies and burp clothes (homeade the size of a baby washrag). If you keep it clean regularly you won't have any problem. I think it's best to clean your bag anyway. It's so unorganized to have a messy diaper bag. Things that are old and receipts everywhere...looks like you are losing your mind ;) hehehe It helps me feel better about my marshmellow brains! BTW, the hospital gave me a Similac bag that works awesome. I've never found a bag that works as good, lol. Not as cute but has all the compartments and just the right size. Plus, it's all washable...
29. You can also buy a back pack it makes it easier to carry the baby without the diaper bag being on your shoulder.
