Everything else was perfect. I bought a Skip Hop Duo off the clearance rack and love it except for the lack of insulated pocket. Usually I just use my purse (JuJuBe Be Light) and a JJ Cole diaper clutch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-happy-with-your-diaper-bag#post-2580129 Sat, 02 Jul 2016 07:13:14 +0000 Happygal 2580129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I went with a smaller, regular backpack b/c I did more babywearing and wanted something I couldn't overload and was gender neutral. But there are too many compartments and things get lost easily in it, and none of those compartments are big enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-happy-with-your-diaper-bag#post-2580122 Sat, 02 Jul 2016 07:02:40 +0000 SweetiePie 2580122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like mine a lot. I wish it had a bit more structure, but it's not a deal breaker.<br /> I have the Le Sport Sac diaper bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-happy-with-your-diaper-bag#post-2580100 Sat, 02 Jul 2016 01:20:57 +0000 lamariniere 2580100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I became very disappointed with mine, but because of the quality, the style and functionality were still good. I bought a leather, handbag style diaper bag and it started falling apart after less than a year. I take good care of my things so it wasn't because I was throwing it around. I regret that purchase. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-happy-with-your-diaper-bag#post-2580091 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 22:29:42 +0000 simplyfelicity 2580091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rocker2014: That's exactly how I feel about it! I feel like it's huge but not a lot of space. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-happy-with-your-diaper-bag#post-2580090 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 22:28:32 +0000 simplyfelicity 2580090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@macintosh: I agree! I wish it had more vertical space so I wasn't just piling stuff on top. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-happy-with-your-diaper-bag#post-2580089 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 22:24:48 +0000 macintosh 2580089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kind of hate mine actually. It's a Skip Hop Duo. I feel like it's always full and I'm cramming more stuff in the top. I never carry it anymore, I just stick it in the van. If DH is with us I can hang it from his chair, so that's convenient :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-happy-with-your-diaper-bag#post-2580050 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 19:50:45 +0000 Alba4 2580050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the Skip Hop Versa and use that mostly. I also was given a Vera Bradley one, but I don't like that I can't wear it like a messenger bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-happy-with-your-diaper-bag#post-2580046 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 19:39:25 +0000 Rocker2014 2580046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started with a Skip Hop Duo, which I hated from the start. It was simultaneously too big and didn't hold enough. I switched to a Kate Spade Serena and love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-happy-with-your-diaper-bag#post-2580041 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 19:31:49 +0000 Littlebit7 2580041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Finally, yes! Our stroller is the "car" 90% of the time so I needed something functional hanging from the hooks. I started with a skip hop versa which was pretty good or a Mia bossi tote (the Emma) for days I needed more stuff or for traveling. But then I found the Mia bossi Katie on sale on Amazon...... loooooove . Love the pockets, size, end pockets. And it's easily accessible from the stroller for city living without gaping open. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-happy-with-your-diaper-bag#post-2580039 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 19:25:17 +0000 dc yoga bee 2580039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hate it! I have the skip hop duo. It's too deep, and overall just becomes a black hole. For next baby, or even for Christmas I may ask for the jujube bff or be right back. I think the bff may have the organization I'm looking for but still able to be worn on my back. The skip hop hurts my shoulders and slides off and is uncomfortable when trying to baby wear or carry the baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-happy-with-your-diaper-bag#post-2580024 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 18:44:15 +0000 MrsTal 2580024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recently switched from the Skip Hop Duo to the Skip Hop Forma and I love the Forma! It's a backpack so it's easy to wear when I'm wearing DS and it's got just the right amount of room and isn't too deep like the Duo was. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-happy-with-your-diaper-bag#post-2579898 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 14:29:07 +0000 sapphire 2579898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still like mine but find that I use it less and less as LO doesn't need as much as often. For short trips I just grab the diaper clutch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-happy-with-your-diaper-bag#post-2579772 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 11:38:51 +0000 krispi 2579772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still really like my Skip Hop Forma. It's on the large side, but I like that, because I tend to over pack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-happy-with-your-diaper-bag#post-2579757 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 11:24:40 +0000 petitenoisette 2579757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never really liked mine but it doesn't annoy me enough to do anything about it. I do avoid using it if possible. I have a stork sak. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-happy-with-your-diaper-bag#post-2579744 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 11:07:22 +0000 Boogs 2579744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our skip hop backpack is still great.

I ended up buying a zippered makeup bag and keeping a few diapers and wipes in it in my purse. For #2 I got a Skip Hop Duo and I like it much better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-happy-with-your-diaper-bag#post-2579666 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 09:49:25 +0000 BSB 2579666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pickle: I have a Be Prepared, too. I use it for weekend trips and when we travel. It is big and you can easily overpack it and gets really heavy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-happy-with-your-diaper-bag#post-2579658 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 09:43:34 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2579658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nah. I'd prefer a backpack. DH did a lot of research and surprised me with my bag last year for Mother's Day. I hate to replace it! I have the Ju Ju Be Be Prepared and it's too big. I really don't have to carry around that much stuff. I like the brand though. It's easy to keep clean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-happy-with-your-diaper-bag#post-2579647 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 09:29:40 +0000 catlady 2579647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never loved mine. I had a JJ Cole Mode to start and quickly switched to a Skip Hop Duo, which is what we still use now (when we even remember to bring it). I just find that stuff gets lost so easily inside diaper bags. The Duo was better because it was better organized but it is still tall. These days, I tend to just grab what I need and throw them in my own handbag (usually a tote). Not sure what we will do when #2 comes along. I may get one of those organizers that turns a normal bag into a diaper bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-happy-with-your-diaper-bag#post-2579641 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 09:18:26 +0000 Miss Sarah 2579641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! Still love my Thirty One zip-top organizing tote! I also got the Jujube Be Quick to hook onto my carrier for runs into the store or to a park and really like that as well. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-happy-with-your-diaper-bag#post-2579523 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 07:55:26 +0000 csross217 2579523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and no. I have a Skip Hop Duo and it's been fine so far since we really don't bring much when we're out (DD is 10 weeks), but I can see myself disliking it when she gets older and we need to cart around more stuff. It's tall and narrow and can be hard to find things in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-happy-with-your-diaper-bag#post-2579041 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 15:51:02 +0000 renee0106 2579041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a SkioHop Duo and just today I decided I'm tired of it. It's too tall and just becomes a bottomless pit when I try to find something. I ordered a backpack today and I'm hoping that will work better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-happy-with-your-diaper-bag#post-2579040 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 15:50:52 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 2579040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have an older Kate Spade (Serena) and still use it with my 2 year old -- gearing up for it to support 2 kiddos this fall! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-still-happy-with-your-diaper-bag#post-2579036 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 15:48:22 +0000 magnoliamama42 2579036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got the Fisher Price backpack. It's been great! I do wish it had more compartments, though. But yeah, we take that thing everywhere. </p>
