I wore my Skip Hop Versa mostly cross-body, and it was very nice to be able to get things out with one hand. The Babymel looks gorgeous btw! I'm jealous, DH nixed a new diaper bag for this baby (the Versa is looking a little worn). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-babymel-diaper-bag#post-1223893 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 12:19:57 +0000 lamariniere 1223893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmate: I guess I'm ready for a change, no pun intended :wink: I think I'll be doing much less baby wearing this time around and I always felt like the backpack I did use for DS was a bit on the small side and since I had to unzip the whole thing to find things. It wasn't very convenient sometimes. I'm thinking a diaper bag that opens wide at the top would be more practical. </p> <p>@leelee: good to know about the quality and the stroller straps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-babymel-diaper-bag#post-1223833 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 12:00:30 +0000 mrsmate 1223833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's funny, I had a diaper bag w/DD1 and now I'm thinking about going the backpack route for DD2. @lamariniere: what's keeping you from using a backpack again? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-babymel-diaper-bag#post-1223610 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 10:36:21 +0000 leelee 1223610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought the quality was good and easy to clean! I've had a JJ Cole and Diaper Dude and the Babymel was definitely my favorite. I do remember that a common complaint about the bag thoigh was that the velcro in the stroller straps wore out pretty quickly. I never use them though so never had any issue with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-babymel-diaper-bag#post-1223033 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 03:39:56 +0000 lamariniere 1223033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@leelee: how do you feel about the overall quality? If I decide to buy one, I will just have to buy it online and hope for the best since I don't know of any stores that carry them here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-babymel-diaper-bag#post-1221438 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 20:37:36 +0000 leelee 1221438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the Babymel Amanda and used it a lot when DD was younger. It's a good size and has a lot of compartments. My only complaint is that the bag has a zippered cooler pocket for bottles and none of my standard bottles fit in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-babymel-diaper-bag#post-1221368 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 19:34:56 +0000 LovelyPlum 1221368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bump! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-babymel-diaper-bag#post-1221219 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 16:31:22 +0000 lamariniere 1221219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been considering a new diaper bag for the new baby (just used a backpack for DS). I have found a few by the Babymel brand but have never seen them in person, just online. If you have one, tell me which model and what you think of it. How is the quality? Do you think it will last a long time? Do you feel like you can use it as a non-diaper bag, like for traveling? </p> <p>This is the one that I like:</p> <p><a href="http://www.happybags.co.uk/babymel-bags-mats-and-bottle-holders/babymel-big-slouchy-tweed.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.happybags.co.uk/babymel-bags-mats-and-bottle-holders/babymel-big-slouchy-tweed.html</a> </p>
