On my experience gathering user needs: Most of my mom friends weren't able to get together with me--it's Mother's Day weekend, after all! So I put out a call to my neighbors on Twitter and talked to one of the moms that responded about her long search for the right bag. I also went to story hour at my local library and people-watched on the DC metro to observe child caretakers with their diaper bags in action. I could see a lot of frustration, and it was really helpful to see all the ways people use their diaper bags, especially depending on their varied needs (are they using a stroller or a baby carrier? breastfeeding or bottle-feeding? cloth or disposable diapering? how old is the child?).
