I thought I was all set. I ordered a Spec Ops All Purpose Bag and Accessory strap thinking I had found the ideal hard use diaper bag. Then I got it in the mail... and it is much smaller than the photos online make it look! My wife gave me that, "you're such an idiot" look and said, "We can't use this for a newborn, we need a bigger bag! Send it back!"
She was less than thrilled when I gently told her that I couldn't send it back, because it was an Ebay purchase and returns were only accepted for manufacturer's defects.
I still think we can make it work, but I'd also like to get some alternatives in mind. Otherwise, I'll be stuck toting around another Eddie Bauer diaper bag <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I looked at bags that Maxpedition offers (another favorite brand of mine) but didn't really see anything that would fit the bill. I'd like to spend no more than $50 for the bag, and have it be made of quality materials that will stand up to hard daily use. I planned to use this as a family essentials bag later on for trips to the mall and things like that...to carry the antibacterial wipes, a few snacks and other kid type stuff.

I prefer the military type bags, just because they seem to be made to better standards. The Spec Ops bag I got is khaki...didn't think my wife would go of OD <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
And the Spec Ops bag holds 500 ci...so the bag would have to hold more than that.

Any suggestions? <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
