I was wondering if anyone has a diaper bag they recommend for carting around your cloth diapers with all the other usual mom stuff. I have been cloth diapering my son since he was two weeks old (he is 17 months now) but am still not happy with my diaper bag. The cloth diapers (I use bumgenius 4.0) take up so much room in the bag compared to mom's who use disposable. Also any favorite diaper bag sized wet bags for day trips. My planet wise one is too small (only holds one easily - I want to be able to hold two diapers). My cheapo Munchin one from Target is my preferred one because of the size.
I have a Sherpani messenger style diaper bag that I love. It's big, but not too big, and it holds several cloth diapers, extra clothes, and all the odds and ends we need. I have two Itzy Ritzy wet bags (I'm not sure of the dimensions off the top of my head) that I like, they each hold about four diapers. I hope that helps!
I was wondering this as well. My current diaper bag barely holds my supplies for one and come August I will need room for two babies worth! I will be ordering my diaper bag online as well which doesn't help since I won't be able to "size it up" by eye. I guess I'll have to keep a tape measure handy as I browse!

I have a petunia pickle bottom diaper bag and it is FABULOUS! It's big, has a messenger/shoulder and backpack straps, a change pad and lots of pockets for things (diapers, wipes, diaper cream, bottles, etc.). It hold my cd's as well as everything else (wipes, nursing cover, wallet, etc.). Here it is: http://www.petunia.com/bags/boxy-backpacks/passagetopersia. I barely ever "carry" it bc I for the stroller clips which I highly recommend.
Have you tried the medium sized planet wise? I have a small one as well which I use for my dirty diapers/inserts if I'm going out for a short time. I just ordered the PW wet/dry bag so I'm really anxious to try it: http://www.planetwiseinc.com/Planet_Wise_WetDry_Bag_43_cat.html
Currently I have a couple of KangaSac Zippered Wet Bags which I really like: http://www.jamtots.com/KangaSac-Zippered-Wet-Bag-P605C0.aspx. I think they are the perfect size whether I'm using my hybrids or pockets. If I'm going out for a short period of time that is only going to require 1-2 diaper changes, I bring the small PW for the dirty diapers and put all my clean diapers, creams, liners, etc in the KangaSac. If I'm out for the full day, I'll bring two Kanga's - one with the clean stuff and one for dirty stuff. It all fits in my petunia pickle bottom nicely as well!
I have a question. We usually run quick errand. And not usually need to change a diaper outside home (weekdays). Were do you carry you "dirty" wet bag? Back in the diaper bag?

I need a new diaper bag but I like my Planet Wise wet bag I have a medium sized one andit holds a few diapers easliy and I have small whammis wet bag that I keep wet wipes in. I just put the wetbag back in my diaper bag and dump it when I get home.
I ordered my wet bags (one med one lg) from Monkey Foot Designs and have been really happy with them. Easily holds a day's worth of dirty diapers for two kids. http://www.monkeyfootdesigns.com/ For a day of daycare, I send a full sized duffel bag. For shorter outings, I agree, it is hard to fit cloth diapers in a standard diaper bag!
