Mine has lots of outside pockets that I find really handy - stuck the nappies in one, drink bottle in another. I can put my purse and keys in another and ditch the handbag!!!
I'm going to preface this with - I am not one of those organised mothers who is prepared for everything...rarely even truely prepared for anything.
So with that size is a big thing for me. I'm a wallet and keys girl, I don't carry my own bag, let alone a suitcase for everyone else. I wanted something that held the essentials but wasn't heavy as lead when full.
I have had several now and am currently using an old handbag that hardly saw the light of day. It's a better size.
I found that hand bags with pockets annoyed me because stuff always ended up jumbled anyways so I preferred a nappy bag without too many.
Think about how you tote your stuff round now and that will give you an idea of what you need.
What suited me was a big bag in the car and a little bag to sling in the pram - so I technically had what I needed, but I just didn't have to lug it around.
I have ended up with a Ju-Ju-Be purchased from littledudesanddivas.
They are the best planned out nappy bags I have found and have funky designs which I love...I am not really a plain jane person in that respect. I love that they have lots of well planned pockets on the inside for nappies (that actually fit cloth nappies in as well not just sposies). And they have an awesome range of accessories. I am loving their bottle rockets for going out and also the dummy case cos I can loop it and clip it on to the outside and the dummy is always within reach then and keeps it clean. I also went a bit overboard and got the matching wallet which I am also loving the design of and have had so many comments fromwhen out about where did I get my wallet.
Oh and I got the backpack design....I had bought the Be All and Packabe second hand of a lady and decided defintley the pacakabe was the better design so sold both of them and bought a packabe and accesories new in one the new designs that better suited a boy child (I had bought a pink one secondhand!)
I can recommend littledudesanddivas for great service and reasonable shipping from overseas and they throw in little extras and coupons etc.....
Can you tell i like jujube!!! LOL
Oh and another thing, they are designed to be machine washable so if you get pooh anywhere which is bound to happen you just chuck it in the machine...i have tried it and they are defintely washable which is awesome, and they wont fade out in the wash like some of the cotton fabric bags (think Isoki, oioi etc)
The only other bag I liked was possibly the Isoki but has no where near the organisation of the jujube...it is more of a tote bag....
i got given a napy bag, and while i was very grateful for the gift, i HATE it DH wont let me get another coz i 'already have one' its not set up very well. Its got a flap that goes over the top ITMS and its got a divider length ways in the middle.
Im atm, looking for a hand bag that is big enough to put her essential things in, coz im not a fan of lugging lots of things around.
I do agree with an AP that pockets on the outide of a bag are a good idea
I also have a bag in the car that stays in the car, has a towel and face washer, some nappies and back up clothes, JIC that way i dont have to carry around too many extra clothes with me.
