I wanted the OiOi that looks like a leather handbag but DH did not approve. The one he did approve was an OiOi messenger style and both side pockets are insulated on that one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-diaper-bag-1#post-749855 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 08:49:47 +0000 JoJoGirl 749855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just got the exacty same skip hop this weekend at my shower - i'm a little traumatized by how huge it is, but friends with kids say we'll eventually need it. I'm debating buying a small one too but will try the Skip Hop and see how it goes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-diaper-bag-1#post-749817 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 08:35:02 +0000 autumnlove 749817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the Bento and I like the other Skip Ho bags. DH has a Duo and I have a Versa. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-diaper-bag-1#post-749803 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 08:29:25 +0000 Alivoo01 749803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: The hubby saying it's more useful because it's insulated and comes with a bento box which will be great for storing food and snacks later on. He doesn't mind the girliness and will carry any bag I purchase.</p> <p>I haven't heard of OiOi bags before, going to check them out now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-diaper-bag-1#post-747977 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 09:46:33 +0000 anbanan15 747977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just looking at the pictures I prefer the look and style of the JJ Cole bag. I also agree with @mrs. tictactoe...I have never been impressed with Skip Hop bags on person. They always seem cheap and flimsy to me also. </p> <p>Have you looked at any of the OiOi bags? Mine has held up great with 2 years of daily use! </p> <p>Is your husband saying the skip hop is more "useful" meaning he would be more likely to carry it? Because my husband tried that and we got a husband approved bag and he rarely carries it (IMO my bag is more girly than the one I wanted but he picked it claiming he would carry it). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-diaper-bag-1#post-747953 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 09:02:54 +0000 Bao 747953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooooh they are both cute! I voted JJ Cole though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-diaper-bag-1#post-747935 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 08:43:40 +0000 CarrieLouWho 747935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: I have the JJ Cole Satchel and I LOVE IT!!! LO is 6.5 months now and I've never thought about wanting another bag! It's plenty big for all day trips and not too bulky for quick trips. I also get tons of compliments on it. I love it!!!</p> <p>ETA- I think the quality is great. We got around the girliness by getting DH a diaper dude bag (I got it as a Father's Day present for him last year). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-diaper-bag-1#post-747737 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 22:47:08 +0000 Sapphiresun 747737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: This was my main reason for picking the skip hop bag - that the JJ is a little bit feminine which would suck if your husband refused to carry it. But if that's not an issue the JJ is sooo cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-diaper-bag-1#post-747732 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 22:41:27 +0000 Mrs.Someone 747732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither shows the inside, but the first one looks more husband-friendly though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-diaper-bag-1#post-747702 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 22:18:23 +0000 Grace 747702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought the JJ Cole one and it's soooo pretty with so many pockets. That bag just makes me happy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-diaper-bag-1#post-747259 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 15:46:48 +0000 bunnylove08 747259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Bento and we love it. We put so much stuff in it and I love that it comes with food containers and a cooler bag for food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-diaper-bag-1#post-746868 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 13:34:28 +0000 LuLu Mom 746868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the JJ Cole one and its' a great bag, but it looks bigger than it actually is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-diaper-bag-1#post-746865 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 13:32:48 +0000 Alivoo01 746865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: @MrsCastro: Hubby already said he'd be okay with carrying non-masculine diaper bags so I'm okay there. I'm just indecisive so I can never decide on anything. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-diaper-bag-1#post-746812 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 13:14:09 +0000 MrsCastro 746812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i love the JJ Cole but i would pick the other because the JJ Cole is too girly for DH...otherwise we would have to purchase a second diaper bag for him... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-diaper-bag-1#post-746804 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 13:08:56 +0000 lavender 746804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the pattern of the JJ.. I carried a VB diaper bag around for awhile and DH didn't have an issue caring it.. That and he was to lazy to use his own </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-diaper-bag-1#post-746783 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 13:04:12 +0000 heffalump 746783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think if your DH is going to be carrying the bag too the skip hop is more man friendly. My DH would not be ok with carrying around the JJ Cole bag. Also I like that the skip hop has insulated pockets for bottles and sippy's, and they seem pretty big so when your LO does start using sippy's they will fit too. We just went diaper bag shopping because our old one broke and I have a toddler.... it was hard to find a bag with insulated pockets to keep sippy's cold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-diaper-bag-1#post-746636 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 12:12:58 +0000 Alivoo01 746636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer the JJ Cole one as well, but the hubby thinks the Skip Hop once is more "useful" so I'm torn!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-diaper-bag-1#post-746231 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 10:29:23 +0000 shopaholic 746231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Based on the pics I chose the JJ Cole because I like the shape and it's got more flair! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-diaper-bag-1#post-746230 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 10:29:15 +0000 Foodnerd81 746230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha-- I just put the JJ Cole one on my registry this weekend! I love the look of it, but I actually decided to take it off because I'm afraid it might be too big-- I'll only have one LO. When my bag is too big I fill it too much. BUT, I love the look of that one. </p> <p>Not sure if this helps or hurts, but I decided to go with the Ski Hop Studio bag instead, based on reviews online and on Amazon. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Skip-Hop-Studio-Diaper-Pewter/dp/B002UXR530/ref=br_it_dp_o_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&#038;colid=3O2B3Z4M4M0OR&#038;coliid=I1YG3PMFAHW49" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Skip-Hop-Studio-Diaper-Pewter/dp/B002UXR530/ref=br_it_dp_o_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&#038;colid=3O2B3Z4M4M0OR&#038;coliid=I1YG3PMFAHW49</a> </p> <p>Seems ever so slightly smaller and I like the look just as much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-diaper-bag-1#post-746218 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 10:26:57 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 746218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never seen the JJ cole in person, but I haven't been impressed with skip hop bags. They're really cheap looking to me. And that JJ cole looks cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-diaper-bag-1#post-746208 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 10:24:53 +0000 Alivoo01 746208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I finally got a chance to check out some diaper bags last night at BBB, and I'm debating between these two.
