After many (way too many) hours searching the web and scouring the sparse selection at the BX, I gave up on trying to find the perfect diaper bag and just made one. Note - I am NOT a seamstress. I actually had to go through and watch some online video tutorials so I could run the sewing maching without killing anything...
So, long story short, here's the bag!
- filled with sposies at the moment, but designed to fit up to 8 cloth dipes (so probably 4 cloth dipes plus change of clothes, toy etc. - enough for half a day out or so)
- cell phone, small notepad, and pens are easy-access on the side :)
- Wipes, bibs, paci, bags, and mama's stuff fit in the outside pockets so no rummaging in the bag for what we need
- side pocket fits a water bottle or baby bottle - heck yeah!
- 100% machine washable
Used an old pair of my husband's ABUs, a shirt I found free at Airman's Attic on base, and the strap from a bag I also found for free at Airman's Attic. The only thing I bought was thread. Wahoo!
Mission Accomplished :D
