First time parent and not sure if the medium-size bag is big enough.

Thank you 🙏

TDLR it sounds like barely anyone has any actual feedback on this bag and most people are trying to tell OP to not get a diaper bag, despite not that being her question at all. Because it's DCUM, am I right?

Yeah, but that advice is actually more helpful. With my first, I was gifted a hand-me-down designer diaper bag from an older work friend. It had very good craftsmanship and she could have resold it for a hundred. But it just sucked as a practical object for every day use. I gave it back and started using an old back pack. Night and day difference in how convenient one was over the other.

I think the anti-backpack people have never tried it and are being too closed minded. TV and magazines always portray parents of young kids with a diaper bag, how can you do any differently? You have to get a diaper bag because it's on the official list of things you have to get, no deviations allowed. Same with so much of the baby gear first time parents are pressured into getting. Half of it is useless.

Pro-backpack people have BTDT with the diaper bags. There are simply better options.

I strongly debated the Herschel backpack diaper bag for baby #2 but ultimately decided it wasn't worth it since the first bag was still in great shape. Concur with other PPs that having a separate diaper change pouch is also good.

See there you go, everyone is different. I would never do this, I put the bag underneath. It would tip over I think.

I have not used the Dagne Dover diaper bag. But I did buy a Dagne Dover purse off some social media advertising and it's really crappy. The "leather" feels and looks like plastic, it's stiff and ugly; do not recommend. If the diaper bag is cloth maybe disregard this review but I found DD to make a really really low quality bag.

I don't completely agree with this. I used a backpack with my first and it was fine. I scoffed at diaper bags and wondered why I would want to spend extra money on some bulky bag that immediately identified you as a mom?

Then I got the Dagne Dover with my second because my friend had it and it looked nice. Now that I have it, I can't imagine using a regular laptop backpack (and I have nice ones). If I use my backpack, I'm just going to stuff a lot of stuff into the middle compartment. The laptop sleeve is useless and the front pocket is too thin to hold much.

I'm assuming that OP has considered the backpack. If not, then yes, she should consider if that's she wants. But if not, then I support Dagne Dover (with the caveat that I've never tried another bag).

A tote bag works fine for one kid but with 2 it's too messy for it.

OR, hear me out here, maybe they have tried them out and prefer conventional diaper bags? Maybe diapers bags are sold because there is a need and not because all new moms are brainless trend followers?

I had a diaper bag gifted to me with my first and I didn't like it because the placement of the compartments and the size didn't work for me. Before I had my twins I ordered ten bags online, tried them all, including putingg stuff in them, and returned the ones I didn't like. At least two were backpacks. In addition to liking having a variety of sizes of compartments (which a tote bag with pouches does not help with- you still need to paw through it to get to the right pouch, I liked having pockets on the outside to more easily grab things like my phone. Additionally, traditional bags are easier to grab something from- it is hanging right at your hip soy can reach in and grab what you need without having to swing the bag around and hold it awkwardly while digging through it. This is key, especially with muttiple young kids because you are more likely to be holding a baby.

I actually like backpacks now that my kids are older since I don't have as many categories of things to hold. But team diaper bag all the way for babies/ toddlers

I bought a $40 bag on amazon and got a ton of compliments. Now that I'm on kid #3 I just put a diaper and some wipes in my purse and go. If you get a small bag you will at least pack less and you definitely don't need that much!

Have it, love it and recommend it to people all the time. I throw it in the wash when it gets dirty and it comes out great. I like all the pockets and we use the changing pad it came with every day when we’re out and about.

I got the large and it is way too big. I wish I had the medium. I usually opt to just toss a skip hop changing station into a large tote bag. I think if I had the medium Dagne Dover I would use it more!

Probably because most people don't spend $195 on a diaper bag.

Looking at the pictures online, OP, I'd say the medium is plenty big. Remember, you have to carry a diaper bag AND the baby.

I am another one who used a regular backpack. It had enough little pockets to separate stuff. Also, Walmart/Target has a carabeener clip for like $5 in the baby section that you can use to clip it on the stroller or whatever. Post potty training, the backpack lives on as our 'outing' bag, packed with snacks, or towels/bathing suits/suncreen, or whatever we need where we are going.

$165 for a medium and you can get a 10% discount if not more

TLDR on page 1? I also used a small black backpack. I started with a large "diaper bag" but it was too much. I was not the mom that brought a ton of things with me..so size is very personal to you. Just adding that DD is now using the mini backpack at college and laughingly class it her diaper bag.
