I decided not to get a dedicated diaper bag, but sweet Aron found me a beautiful Michael Kors Gansevoort tote on ebay that I’d be much happier carrying and converting into a diaper bag. Really any bag can do as a diaper bag with the addition of a Skip Hop Pronto Changer 
That said, here are some characteristics that most diaper bags share and that you might want to look for if you do go an alternative route: moisture-proof interior, comfortable handles, cross-body strap, light weight when empty, divided pockets, and a closure at top. My new bag could be a bit more “wipeable,” but it otherwise fits the bill perfectly!
If, however, you’re on the lookout for a proper diaper bag but you, like me, aren’t wild about the ones that seem intended to complement the baby’s style more than your own, here are a few other actual diaper bags I spotted and admired…
P.S. Baby Center has a checklist of items you might consider carrying in your diaper bag, here.

Those are so fancy and cute. I used a regular huge bag from H&M because I hate cutesy diaper bags.
Love the bag you chose, but some of the actual diaper bags you show are really great, too. I especially like the top two.
I’m in agreement re: diaper bags; I do feel they’re a bit of a con as any plus-sized bag will do the job, and more than often, will look nicer too.
If you’re not bottle-feeding, your bag doesn’t even have to be that much bigger. A change of clothing, some diapers and wipes and you’re set! That never failed me when baby was newborn.
It seems that now she’s older, I need more stuff: full lunches, drinks, toys, snacks. It was much easier when it was just baby and the boob!
I totally agree with you on that one! Especially since you might no even carry a purse for a few months (according to my 10 friends who had babies last year) and just use the diaper bag to put your keys and money in.
I think it’s worth investing in a bag that complement your style instead of an ugly bag. I was thinking of getting a Lacoste sports bag for men, since they are the perfect size and weight. Something like that : http://www.lacoste.com/#/catalogue-men-leathergoods-urban_mate-nh0083um
I agree. I’d much rather use a regular big bag than a diaper bag (in fact, I bought one when I was pregnant and only use it when we travel). If money were no object though, I’d certainly buy a “Petits Parisiens” diaper bag: http://www.petitsparisiens.com/02_petits_parisiens/diaper_bag.html
Love the new bag. Stylish and functional. Nice choice.
