Skiphop or Land's End Do-it-all

So, I've been stalking diaper bag threads like they are going out of style... and I keep seeing two that stand out. I've also checked them out a little online and I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts as to which one I should buy..

I'm planning on Cd'ing..and I'm new at this...so I'm sure I will want to pack everything but the kitchen sink.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.. TIA

I'm another proud owner of the Lands End bag. It's great for CDing... very roomy and lots of pockets to organize things.

Thanks! All the feedback really does help. I think that I'm going to start off with the Land's End, especially for in the beginning while I'm trying to figure out cd'ing and until I get a little bit more experience under my belt and am comfortable not carrying everything around with me.

And I think I will end up getting the skip hop later too. For quick trips...

I remember when I first came on here to find the perfect cloth diaper, I'm now addicted and have one of everything...it will be the same with diaper bags now too. Someone keep me away from the stollers!!

Thanks again!

I really wanted to get a Skip Hop because I liked the design and liked how they hang on stroller handles, until I realized that you have to completely detach the shoulder strap to be able to hang it on the stroller, so it's not really easy to grab and go if you need to.  Seems silly.  I have the Lands End and like a pp said, it's great for the newborn stage or long outings, but daily I use a smaller diaper bag.  I have an Eddie Bauer one from BRU that someone gave us, but I'd like to get the Lands End Little Tripper.

i have a skip hop. it's okay. you can't get a whole lot in it. i've packed it for airplane flights before, though. in that situation i can get just about a simple day's worth of of necessities. oh and the plus is that it hangs on your stroller.

That's a great idea- get the DIA and the Tripper   I think you'll be all set.  Really have a bag that "attaches" to the stroller is not different from hanging your bag on it.

i just want to add that i was using a maclaren twin while using the skip hop, so i never used the internal clips for attaching it to the stroller, i just extended the strap over the handles and it worked perfectly that way.

Oh, a plus for the Lands End is the light colored lining inside- why don't they do this with all diaper bags?  It's great.

I have both as well, we've gone through a couple of diaper bags so far.  I find that I love the skip hop when we are only going to be out for a few hours, it holds 3 or 4 diapers fairly well, a change of clothes, a few wipes, a wetbag and a burp cloth.  If we are out for more then a couple of hours though I need something bigger.  The land's end do it all or my huge backpack work well then, since I can fit almost a full days worth of diapers in them, so we are good to go for 4 to 6 hours (with 8ish diapers in it, I have a very pee happy baby).

I can't comment on the skip hop bag, but I'm a HUGE fan of the Lands End diaper bags.

I was given a LE gift certificate and I couldn't decide between the Little Tripper, the Do-it-all and the Backpack diaper bags, so in the end, I got all 3!!

I love having 3 to choose from.  I live in the country so every trip out is at least 2 hours.  If I'm going to grandma's house all day or something, I take the DOITALL.  If I'm going shopping at the mall, I take the Backpack and if I'm just going grocery shopping or the park, I take the Little Tripper.  It is great that the Backpack and the Little tripper can be worn and leave me hands free. The Doitall, also can be worn but not as comfortably for long periods. I just wear it to and from the car.

Like the other posters were saying, at the newborn stage, you want a bigger bag.  Right now, I keep the small blue bag from the DoitAll in my car and keep a change of clothes for my DD in it at all times.  That way, if I only have 1 extra dipe w/ me in my LT, I still have some clothes if I need them for her.

I love having all 3! and for the price, you can afford to buy all 3!
