Finding a Diaper Bag

I'm in the process of looking for a new diaper bag for when our little boy gets here. What I have in mind is a bag with 2 large dividers (think laptop bag) for 3 big sections. I'm hoping that by having the three sections, I'll be able to separate his stuff from our daughters stuff from my stuff while still only carrying one bag. I have found laptop bags that I like for a diaper bag, but I was hoping to get some more suggestions to find a good bag with the 3 sections for a decent price. Any ideas?

--The biggest issue that I have with the laptop bags I've found is that they are ugly. Not just unattractive or plain but really ugly. I'll probably get one if I can find something that looks nicer with the sectioning I want, but I'm still looking for that "perfect" bag. Also, not having a bottle holder doesn't bother me as I will be nursing exclusively.

What can I do next?

I found that a nice back pack can serve well as a diaper bag. I went through many diaper bags in search of the perfect one that fit my needs. I ended up with a nice back pack, that worked great. If you are finding laptop bags that meet your needs, by all means use that. As a mom you have soo much stuff to tote with two small children that what ever little thing makes your life a little easier is definitely worth it.

I used mine from the hospital and had a backback one as well -- hospital was over the shoulder so easy to get into and had 2 cupholders on either side for drink storage/bottles (even breastfeeding I needed a drink for me and a bottle of water or juice or sippy later for kids), but backpack was a chore to get into though easy to carry.

i loved that my skip hop bag had so much compartmentalization. Now I have a Petunia Pickle Bottom and is nothing but a gaping black hole of stuff that takes major rummaging. Lap top bags don't have bottle holders on the side and so in my opinion would not make good diaper bags.
