I think I am going to LOVE it though! Now I just have to wait a few more months for baby to get here so I can test it out for real! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ppb-city-carryall-vs-boxy-backpack#post-653732 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 07:46:57 +0000 mrs. wagon 653732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@andrea86: eeeeeee can't wait to hear how you like it!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ppb-city-carryall-vs-boxy-backpack#post-652639 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 16:48:08 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 652639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh dear, the last thing I needed was to see that they're ON SALE! I've been avoiding drooling over the PPB site, because I think they are beautiful, but can't convince DH that I need to spend 100+ on a diaper bag (okay...need is a relative word). </p> <p>Maybe I'll drop some hints to my mama...she's always on the lookout for gifts to put away for occasions!</p> <p>I'm totally torn between the Boxy Backpack and the City Carryall too. They're both great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ppb-city-carryall-vs-boxy-backpack#post-652576 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 16:15:20 +0000 andrea86 652576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: I think you're right. For my twins I had a messenger style bag and while I did carry it cross body a lot, I wished it had short shoulder straps to just throw it on my shoulder and go. As far as the back pack thing, I'm just not a back pack kind of girl. I actually debated the satchel too, but I really like the changing station on front of the city carryall. Whew! This diaper bag thing wears me out! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ppb-city-carryall-vs-boxy-backpack#post-652263 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 14:07:55 +0000 andrea86 652263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for your input ladies!!! I went with the City Carryall in the orange print! Now Im excited to get it!! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ppb-city-carryall-vs-boxy-backpack#post-652192 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 13:42:56 +0000 mrs. wagon 652192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@andrea86: hehe! you never see them because they're so new, I think. Plus I think most people like the backpack feature (and cross-body or messenger feature), but I never wore mine as a backpack or messenger-- just as a shoulder bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ppb-city-carryall-vs-boxy-backpack#post-652187 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 13:40:50 +0000 andrea86 652187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: I agree the orange one makes me happy just looking at it, but I'm worried that I will get tired of it because it is so bold. It is like $30 cheaper though, so I think I'm leaning toward that one. </p> <p>@lavender: I dont know if I will actually use it as a backpack much anyway. So I think I'm leaning towards the city carryall.</p> <p>@shopaholic: Thats the debate I'm having! I'm leaning towards the city carryall, but I wonder why I never see them! LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ppb-city-carryall-vs-boxy-backpack#post-652111 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 13:23:30 +0000 shopaholic 652111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the boxy backpack but haven't used it yet. Got it because it seemed like the most classic, frequently seen &amp; used one. My GF's LO is almost 2 and she still uses her boxy backpack. </p> <p>Both prints are cute, but I slightly like the bottom print. Good luck picking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ppb-city-carryall-vs-boxy-backpack#post-652110 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 13:23:16 +0000 lavender 652110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>backpack! I'd love to be hands free so backpack would be ideal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ppb-city-carryall-vs-boxy-backpack#post-652108 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 13:22:35 +0000 mrs. wagon 652108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>EEEEEEEEE when I had my Boxy the City Carryall didn't exist yet. When it came out I wanted it BAD!! But I had already moved on from PPB bags at that point.</p> <p>I want one of these two bags SO BADLY. I loved my Boxy through and through and used it a ton. But I think I would prefer the City Caryall!! but I've never seen one in real life so I can't say for sure.</p> <p>The second print is more neutral but I just love the pop of orange on the first!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ppb-city-carryall-vs-boxy-backpack#post-652104 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 13:20:12 +0000 andrea86 652104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With the outlet sale going on right now I'm hoping to snag one of these bags at a good price. Would you prefer the City Carryall or the Boxy Backpack? I like the shoulder straps on the City Carryall, but have heard so many great things about the Boxy Backpack! HELP please!! Oh and these are the patterns I'm thinking about, which one do you like better?? </p> [attach=3165/13/mjx6xo.600x600.SantiagoSunset_CityC_Front.jpg] [attach=3165/13/mjx6xq.600x600.MistedMarseille_CityC_Front.jpg]
