There are so many diaper bag choices these days. The field only narrows slightly once you have a clear idea of what you want to carry around with the peanut's supplies.
Skip Hop seems to design their bags with the modern parent in mind: someone who doesn't want their bag to scream "BABY!!!" but one that doesn't deny that in an average mom or dad's day, there are going to be poopy diapers, leaky bottles, cell phones and wallets to contend with.
They have a new one (read on for details) and we're giving one away.
Skip Hop’s new Via Messenger is a thoughtfully organized diaper bag with eighteen pockets, including a special AgION™ antimicrobial pocket to help keep germs away from clean. The crazy number of pockets might be a bit of over-kill. We only used about half of them, and tried use one side of the bag for adult stuff like keys and cell phones, and the other side for diapering supplies and other baby things.
The cushioned changing pad is a nice addition for those who like to use a pad on the go, although we didn't use it much (space is too precious) -- we're more the types to just lay down our coat.
The Via Messenger has Skip Hop’s Shuttle Clips, a strap and fastening system that attaches the bag to the handlebars of any stroller. It worked well on our MacLaren Techno, but be careful if it's heavy, it can tip an empty stroller, or one with a light baby inside.
Being bloggers on the go, we often have our laptops with us, so we like a bag that will accommodate our computers, as well as a few gDiapers and wipes. The messenger just barely fit it all for me with an almost 13" wide Mac Book. There was no room to try to jam anything else in, but I appreciate having limits. For daddy, so far the only diaper bag we've used that has been big enough for his Mac Book Pro is his briefcase.

The bag comes in Black, Chocolate, Gray, Lime and Red and retails for $79.
We're giving one away today in the color of your choice. Let us know in the comments below what you'd want to pack into an ideal diaper bag, and which color you like best. A random winner will be chosen from the comments below. (Ends Monday 2/11 at noon EST.)
Oh, the grey please! I'd pack baby wipes and cheerios!

I like the chocolate one, coz it comes with an orange changing pad. In my diaper bag: Diapee/Wipee pack, my video ipod (to soothe my son during long waits at the doctor's office), chewing gum, a tub of play dough (again, for the son!), a couple of books, a change of clothes for each kid, plastic bags for the soiled diapers, snacks, milk boxes, business cards, and information stickers to slap onto my kids' backs if we are in a busy place (zoo, disneyland, etc.)

couldn't be more timely as last week i lost our skip hop expo - loaded with sentimental items in addition to the essentials (long story - snowy day in minnesota, loading the boy & stroller into the trunk - oh that's right, the boy went in the back seat -, must have left the bag on the curb). my wife just emailed me (as a subtle reminder) the link to the skip hop dash bag a few hours ago. the gray skip hop looks & works great attached to our phil & ted's stroller. essentials include a toy (video ipod or laptop) for me, a toy for the little guy, dipes & wipes, waterless hand cleaner, rice chex... skip hop's design, quality & functionality are second to none from my vast (12 months) of experience.

I really like the brown and orange combo. What would I pack? Pretty much my whole life. At least a nursing cover, burp rags, extra outfit, blanket, diapers (we use cloth and they take up extra space!) wallet, cell, keys, snacks, water bottle. Etc, etc, etc. New babe is coming any day now and I've kind of forgotten what all we need to put in there...

In the IDEAL diaper bag I'd be able to carry LOTS of little toys as my little guy gets pretty bored with toys pretty quickly. Plus I'd also pack more than one burp cloth (which can take up a lot of extra space) for those especially messy occassions. (as well as all those other essentials of course) And we'd love to have a "sporty" red diaper bag.

I'd love red or lime...both so fun! My ideal diaper bag WOULD have a million pockets, so these seem perfect.
What do I need those pockets for? Keeping tracks of the trillion things I seem to find it necessary to carry with me like stain wipes, baby tylenol (just in case), soft cloths for wiping baby noses and spit up, small bags of toddler snacks, hand sanitizer, hand wipes, sunscreen, extra hat, toys, books, tiny play-doh, extra baby outfit, cell phone, wallet, small pad of paper, crayons, pen, lotion, diaper, toddler cup, adult water bottle, tissues, band-aids, first aid ointment, diaper ointment, etc, in addition to the diapers and wipes. It would extra fantastic if it could also fit my new wrap!
My current diaper bag is just not cutting it now that I have a baby and a toddler.

Love the lime.
I'd pack diapers, wipes, snacks, books, baby spoon, sippy cup, and room for his blankie would be nice too. We spend every Sunday all day at a friend's house and our current diaper bag just doesn't hold enough baby food and entertainment and we end up using a second bag just for food supplies.

I'd like the black one please as it is most likely to hide all the dirt a diaper bag can pickup over everyday use. I'd pack the essentials and something for everyone like diapers, wipes, toys, change of clothes, sunscreen, phone, magazine(s) and anything else that I could fit into the bag.

oh i would love the brown one! (although the lime one is tugging at my heart...) i'm actually diaper bag shopping now, b/c i bought a double stroller this month that has no storage underneath, and i need a bag that will hang off of the handles!
i travel out of town A LOT with 3 kids, and the diaper bag is what holds everything for me, since i can't juggle several bags at once.
so it would be my purse/diaper bag/snack bag, etc.
cell phone
small medicine bag with inhaler, tylenol, etc.
ipod

We'll carry one set of diapers since we use the BG 2.0 one size (yay), wipes, a tube of Burt's Bees diaper ointment, but double spare onesies, a bottle (will be b-feeding #2 also), small container of cheerios and a toddler biscuit, an extra shirt for me, and the only my necessities that I carry for myself these days: lip balm, a pen, keys and wallet.

What a great new design! I like the brown. I always overpack the diaper bag... Contents: diapers, wipes, A&D, hand cleaner, wet bag, change of clothes, burp cloth, food, bottle or sippy cup, bib, toys, camera, wallet, cell phone, keys, etc...

Definitely the brown as it is my all-time favorite color! As to what to put in it...that is still to be determined. However, it has been helpful to read all of the above posts. Hopefully, I will figure it out before this little girl arrives in coming weeks!

My husband and I both would pick the gray bag, its beautiful! I always pack our diaper bag with diapers, wipes, snacks, toys, books, anti-bactierial soap, table-toppers for when we eat out, baggies for dirty diapers, an extra set of clothing, tissues, water. Also our necessities such as wallet, phone, keys etc. Thank you.

That red diaper bag is great! I'd need snacks, wipes, diapers, a little mini purell thing, books, extra set clothes - and that's just to go to the supermarket :(

I would love black or red - I would pack all things for a 2 year old and a newborn. I have wanted a new diaper bag forever and have been looking at the skip hop website for weeks now trying to decide. Please pick me.

With 4 babies worth of experience I think I can figure out what to put in the brown bag with orange changing pad! Diapers and wipes, of course, bottles, a clean cloth diaper for spit ups, sippy cup, cheerios, clean outfit, shoes, toys, pacifiers, diaper rash med, teething gel, pain reliever, baby food, spoon, bibs, brush, nail clippers, etc.

Lime! Since I've given up carrying my pocketbook and now just carry a diaper bag, I'd kill for the compartments to carry the cellphone, diapers, pacifier, wipes, snacks, toys, changing pad, Purell (mommy's a little OCD), my wallet, pen, and dog poop bags for when I've got the whole family with me.

Thanks for the great and useful giveaway.

Brown...
And the diaper bag needs diapers, wipes, snacks/bottle, the funky table covers my wife loves to use when we go out to eat with the baby, change of clothes, toys, and my wife insists on shoving her wallet and keys in there to use as a big ol' purse...makes the thing weigh as much as the baby. :)

I am expecting my first child in 7 months.
I have NO idea what I am doing.
I'd like any color - any of these spiffy little bags would assist in the ILLUSION that I have an idea of what is in store for me.
As for what I would pack, cloth diapers, homemade baby wipes and COMPLETELY organic snacks.
Yes, I mentioned it was 7 months away - reality has not set in yet. :)

I love the brown! I was just saying how I needed a new diaper bag, but would probably never manage to get one!
My ideal diaper bag is packed with diapers, wipes, sippy cupsX2, an extra bottle of water, organic snacks, a change of clothes for the little one and at least a shirt for my eldest, sunglasses, keys, wallet, emergency contacts, a few small toys, and a pad of paper w/pen.
Now, all of these things ARE contained in my diaper bags, but along with them are old raisins mushed into the bottom, a dirty baby sock or two, a pair of sandals in the middle of winter, and loads of random papers. lol
