I thought it was weird at first but I found myself switching to backpack mode randomly while I'm out. It's so thin and light so it's not a big deal for me. I usually put wipes, hand sanitizer, and diapers in that area anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tote-amp-cross-body-diaper-bag/page/2#post-1478105 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 11:24:19 +0000 hilsy85 1478105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erwoo: ok sorry one more question! are your backpack straps actually detachable? On mine it looks like I can just tuck them away in a pocket--is that how it's supposed to be? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tote-amp-cross-body-diaper-bag/page/2#post-1478078 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 11:18:03 +0000 hilsy85 1478078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erwoo: ah ok, I think it is missing in that case :( Will have to contact amazon and exchange it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tote-amp-cross-body-diaper-bag/page/2#post-1477530 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 09:13:54 +0000 erwoo 1477530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Mine was inside the main bag zipper. If yours isn't there, then it may be missing. I thought mine wasn't there at first until I dumped it upside down. It was hard to see b/c everything was black. I've been using mine daily and totally love it. It's just so light! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tote-amp-cross-body-diaper-bag#post-1477337 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 07:54:48 +0000 hilsy85 1477337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erwoo: hey there! so i ended up ordering a boken, but can't for the life of me figure out where the messenger/cross body strap is. Where on the bag did you find it? Or is it possible mine is just missing it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tote-amp-cross-body-diaper-bag#post-1464268 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 15:36:03 +0000 hilsy85 1464268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: ah that stinks! I still really like that one, need to decide if it'll be a deal breaker... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tote-amp-cross-body-diaper-bag#post-1464148 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 14:48:54 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1464148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: So bummer, they're really only for hands. Can go up to elbow, but no further comfortably :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tote-amp-cross-body-diaper-bag#post-1464028 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 14:15:38 +0000 Cara M. 17 1464028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ms.janedoe: Same baby name, same diaper bag...are you my twin!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tote-amp-cross-body-diaper-bag#post-1464025 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 14:14:35 +0000 hilsy85 1464025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: thanks!

I need it by monday, so I'd have to see if I can get over there with LO by then, but it's going on the list! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tote-amp-cross-body-diaper-bag#post-1464011 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 14:12:39 +0000 Cara M. 17 1464011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: they carry it at buy buy baby and you can use a 20% off coupon to bring the price down! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tote-amp-cross-body-diaper-bag#post-1464008 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 14:12:07 +0000 twinmama 1464008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: bummer! I got mine from zappos! It's a print so I guess the nylon.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tote-amp-cross-body-diaper-bag#post-1463992 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 14:09:22 +0000 looch 1463992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: have you looked at ebags? They've got some interesting options. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tote-amp-cross-body-diaper-bag#post-1463985 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 14:08:50 +0000 lawbee11 1463985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Yeah, DH told me if I was going to spend that much on a diaper bag we could only get 1 so it had to be something he could carry, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tote-amp-cross-body-diaper-bag#post-1463983 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 14:08:44 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1463983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I will check -- always used it as a messenger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tote-amp-cross-body-diaper-bag#post-1463977 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 14:07:57 +0000 mlm2934 1463977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: I have started looking into diaper bags, and most are much bigger/uglier than what I want. I had my eye on this fossil bag, and glad to see someone else has used it as diaper bag! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tote-amp-cross-body-diaper-bag#post-1463976 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 14:07:36 +0000 hilsy85 1463976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: gotcha! Thanks :) It's definitely one that DH would carry, which is a plus! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tote-amp-cross-body-diaper-bag#post-1463972 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 14:07:17 +0000 hilsy85 1463972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bpcmarj: super cute! I would just worry again that it would be too heavy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tote-amp-cross-body-diaper-bag#post-1463964 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 14:05:36 +0000 lawbee11 1463964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I just use the same strap for when I carry it over the shoulder. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tote-amp-cross-body-diaper-bag#post-1463939 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 14:00:58 +0000 bpcmarj 1463939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also suggest the timi and leslie. I got mine second hand so it didn't come with the cross body strap, but I am going to be ordering one for an upcoming trip. I have the Charlie in pewter with brass details and I love it. I get compliments on it everywhere and people have no idea it's a diaper bag. It holds SO MUCH STUFF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tote-amp-cross-body-diaper-bag#post-1463926 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 13:57:59 +0000 Sparkler 1463926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ ginabean3: I am not a good influence to answer that type of question! My current diaper bag is a speedy with shoulder strap...I told my husband I can use it to hold my daughter's diapers AND hand it down to her to use one day too :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tote-amp-cross-body-diaper-bag#post-1463905 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 13:53:59 +0000 Beehive 1463905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Ah yes, it's not very big - that's a drawback for sure. I need to carry my stuff separately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tote-amp-cross-body-diaper-bag#post-1463902 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 13:53:20 +0000 hilsy85 1463902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: those are nice! I think leather would be too heavy though, which is why I would like to find nylon if possible! I luuurve that as a regular purse for me though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tote-amp-cross-body-diaper-bag#post-1463900 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 13:52:31 +0000 hilsy85 1463900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beehive: I actually don't know if that would be big enough--I plan to use it on the plane for some of my stuff as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tote-amp-cross-body-diaper-bag#post-1463891 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 13:51:17 +0000 Arden 1463891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the Fossil Explorer tote (though mine's in grape) and I love it. It comes it lots of colors. </p> [attach=2195/14/n1vj1h.480x360.image.jpg] [attach=2195/14/n1vj1j.600x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tote-amp-cross-body-diaper-bag#post-1463874 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 13:49:10 +0000 hilsy85 1463874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MerryC: it looks like they dont have any options for it available on prime! :( and it looks like some are leather and some are nylon?</p> <p>@looch: the only cross body bag I have right now is teeny! And wouldn't work. </p> <p>@Cara M. 17: thats a little bit more than I wanted to spend...</p> <p>@erwoo: that might work!</p> <p>@lawbee11: also a bit more expensive than I wanted but really cute!. Can it go over the shoulder or do you use the same cross body strap for that?</p> <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: I LOVE that one actually!!! Are those two little straps big enough to go over your shoulder? Or are they just carrying straps for your hand? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tote-amp-cross-body-diaper-bag#post-1463867 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 13:48:01 +0000 Beehive 1463867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: This doesn't quite fit the bill as it's not a cross-body, but we use this as J's diaper bag:</p> <p><a href="http://www.fjallraven.us/collections/numbers-bags/products/totepack-no-1" rel="nofollow">http://www.fjallraven.us/collections/numbers-bags/products/totepack-no-1</a></p> <p>I like it because it's a tote that converts to a backpack. We have a Danzo messenger bag and hated it - we found it huge and unwieldy, and the magnetic snap never stayed closed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tote-amp-cross-body-diaper-bag#post-1463833 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 13:42:40 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1463833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: also it's deep rather than wide, which I liked but I could see some people finding annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tote-amp-cross-body-diaper-bag#post-1463827 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 13:41:49 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1463827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: I'd say it's big enough as long as you aren't an overpacker. It was ok for me the brief time I used it for both but I don't bring much for my toddler anymore -- mainly just a couple of dipes and a snack and small odds and ends. </p>
