I just want a bag I can throw in the washer next time! It always seems dirty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feedback-on-my-diaper-bag-choices#post-2263382 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 08:24:33 +0000 ShootingStar 2263382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lady baltimore: There are straps JuJuBe makes that stay on either side of the handle of your stroller. On ours we usually don't have a problem with it tipping over, especially once DS is in there. But I suppose if you have a super heavy bag on a really light umbrella stroller, it could be an issue. But then, you'll never fit a good sized diaper bag under an umbrella stroller either. </p> <p>Here are the things we have: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FWYGSE/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1&#038;smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FWYGSE/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1&#038;smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER</a></p> <p>Here's a pic from Amazon of it all working together :</p> <p>[attach=2504/15/nt2qkx.462x465.Screen-Shot-2015-08-14-at-9.23.24-AM.png] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feedback-on-my-diaper-bag-choices#post-2263369 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 08:15:38 +0000 lady baltimore 2263369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the tip about the quality, @maddyz:! It's so hard to tell how well things are made just from looking at them online.</p> <p>@ShootingStar: Do you mean hooks over the handles of the stroller? Does that not tip the stroller over? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feedback-on-my-diaper-bag-choices#post-2262292 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 08:54:52 +0000 snowjewelz 2262292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To pick from your list, I'd pick the leather one as it is the most versatile! I currently lust after Lily and Jade Co diaper bags.. Check them out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feedback-on-my-diaper-bag-choices#post-2262278 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 08:44:04 +0000 ShootingStar 2262278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So personally, I'm not a fan of any of those bags. I have a Jujube BFF and I love it. The things I like, and would look for in another bag are:</p> <p>- Single, longer strap/messenger style.<br /> - Wider/shallower bag - I would not want a super deep bag that I have to dig through to find things<br /> - Gender neutral, so DH will carry it. Many time I take DS and have him take the bag. Originally I wanted a really pretty bag that looked like a purse, but he wouldn't have been thrilled with bag duty if I did that.<br /> - Can attach to my stroller - this is #1. None of those bags you picked will do this well and we use this ALL the time. Basically, if we're out long enough to need a diaper bag, then we're going to need the stroller too. It's so simple to attach it to the stroller instead of mushing it in the bottom bin. And that way the stuff is more accessible too. Before we got the stroller attachments I felt like every 5 minutes I needed to go into the bag for something and it was a giant hassle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feedback-on-my-diaper-bag-choices#post-2262129 Wed, 12 Aug 2015 22:28:59 +0000 maddyz 2262129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got the boken bag and it come with a broken zipper. The quality overall was not great. I returned it and got this Patagonia one instead and love it!</p> <p><a href="http://www.patagonia.com/us/product/lightweight-travel-tote-pack?p=48808-0" rel="nofollow">http://www.patagonia.com/us/product/lightweight-travel-tote-pack?p=48808-0</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feedback-on-my-diaper-bag-choices#post-2262128 Wed, 12 Aug 2015 22:24:22 +0000 youboots 2262128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like having a cross body to carry LO hands free. These all look like shoulder bags. Just a thought. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feedback-on-my-diaper-bag-choices#post-2262097 Wed, 12 Aug 2015 21:11:20 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2262097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Leather! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feedback-on-my-diaper-bag-choices#post-2262067 Wed, 12 Aug 2015 20:41:48 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2262067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Leather!

Given the three options below, which would you pick? What do you think are the big pros/cons of each? I am planning to register for the Lily Jade bag organizer to use with any of these.</p> <p>Boken Everyday Diaper Bag: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EBRAHZ6?colid=3EWUYRM2X6A2L&#038;coliid=I35WK0Z42O6AJ1&#038;redirect=true&#038;ref_=br_it_dp_o_nS_ttl&#038;vs=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EBRAHZ6?colid=3EWUYRM2X6A2L&#038;coliid=I35WK0Z42O6AJ1&#038;redirect=true&#038;ref_=br_it_dp_o_nS_ttl&#038;vs=1</a></p> <p>Canvas Zip-Top Tote: <a href="http://women.duluthtrading.com/store/product/womens-canvas-travel-tote-84703.aspx?src=T13WRTG" rel="nofollow">http://women.duluthtrading.com/store/product/womens-canvas-travel-tote-84703.aspx?src=T13WRTG</a></p> <p>Leather Tote: <a href="http://women.duluthtrading.com/store/product/womens-lifetime-leather-travel-tote-bag-30005.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://women.duluthtrading.com/store/product/womens-lifetime-leather-travel-tote-bag-30005.aspx</a></p> <p>ETA: We got a backpack-style bag (similar to this: <a href="http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=34220546&#038;cp=2255957.2273443.3242082.2255980.3073922&#038;parentPage=search)" rel="nofollow">http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=34220546&#038;cp=2255957.2273443.3242082.2255980.3073922&#038;parentPage=search)</a> as a hand-me-down, but despite what everyone says, I generally prefer a one-shoulder tote to a backpack. This one will likely be DH's mostly. </p>
