I'm definitely going to get a couple then!

Or do you have multiple ones in there? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-jujube-worth-it#post-1985381 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 14:59:39 +0000 winniebee 1985381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaG: I got the size large from the ouchpouchshoppe on etsy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-jujube-worth-it#post-1985353 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 14:44:11 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1985353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I ended up getting the jujube too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-jujube-worth-it#post-1985344 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 14:41:11 +0000 MamaG 1985344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: @cascademom: Ouch pouch? I see several different kinds on etsy, any one in particular that you would recommend? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-jujube-worth-it#post-1985336 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 14:36:06 +0000 cascademom 1985336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Yay!! I love our Be Right Back. It's such a well designed bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-jujube-worth-it#post-1985234 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 13:45:49 +0000 winniebee 1985234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaG: I got the jujube right backpack. It's a little flashy for me but the utility of the bag is awesome and convenient. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-jujube-worth-it#post-1984949 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 11:33:55 +0000 MamaG 1984949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've concluded this weekend that I really don't like my PPB Boxy Backpack and I really miss my JuJu Be Better Be messenger bag. But I really want something that can be a backpack. After revisiting this thread I think I'm going to get a JuJu Be BFF and try to sell my PPB bag. </p> <p>@winniebee: which bag did you end up with? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-jujube-worth-it#post-1941394 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 14:41:35 +0000 cascademom 1941394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I think that I got medium and larges. It's a fabric backing with the plastic enclosure. For my diaper bag, I use the large one with Klennex, sunscreen, band-aids, etc. for LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-jujube-worth-it#post-1941370 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 14:33:54 +0000 winniebee 1941370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: What size did you get? This may sound so dumb, but does it come with anything loaded in it?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-jujube-worth-it#post-1941367 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 14:32:44 +0000 cascademom 1941367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Yep, it's on Etsy. I'm actually thinking of buying some more of them. I have a couple in my regular purse for cosmetics and one for cords. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-jujube-worth-it#post-1941354 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 14:26:28 +0000 winniebee 1941354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: The ouch pouch on etsy right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-jujube-worth-it#post-1941013 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 12:22:32 +0000 cascademom 1941013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the BeRightBack and love it. It's so easy to find everything and store it. I bought a set pack with the Be Quick in a couple of sizes and a coin purse. I also got a few Ouch Pouches after watching a video. Those are super handy. I use the coin purse everyday for all of my credit cards, etc. It goes from my regular purse to my diaper bag during the weekend. When we travel for Thanksgiving, I'm only taking my diaper bag, not my purse. I want to get the JuJuBe purse as my regular purse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-jujube-worth-it#post-1940995 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 12:16:02 +0000 ShootingStar 1940995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I have a BFF and I don't have any of the other JuJuBe smaller organizers. I do have a small wetbag that I use as a diaper clutch in there. But the pockets are pretty much all I need. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-jujube-worth-it#post-1940874 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 11:30:30 +0000 mrskc 1940874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: @MrsF: I don't think it's completely necessary to buy the extra pouches. I have the Be Quick from the recommendation from someone on here and I really like it. Keeps all diapering stuff together. Otherwise, the bag that I keep his snacks in was just a zippered pouch I got on Amazon awhile back and the first aid kit is in cosmetic pouch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-jujube-worth-it#post-1940493 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 08:46:33 +0000 MrsF 1940493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I don't have any of the smaller pouches, etc from the JJB line. With the hobo I've just been using a large ziplock (classy, I know) to hold a couple of diapers and wipes so I can grab them easily. I also have two little cosmetic pouch type things from the travel section at target. I use one to hold my Chapstick, comb, hair ties and one for coupons. . I wonder if I'll want another system for the BFF though because it's a bigger bag. Curious to hear what @mrskc: and @singingbee: have to say on the topic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-jujube-worth-it#post-1940458 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 08:18:25 +0000 erwoo 1940458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never tried a JuJuBe but have the Boken and it's super lightweight if you'll be putting a lot of things in it. You can hold it three ways and it's quite large and great to travel with. The ONLY con and it's what makes it lightweight is that it doesn't hold it's shape so it can be hard to find things inside sometimes. That, for me, was not a big deal. I've never not been able to find something. I found mine on myhabit.com for $30 some odd dollars. Such a great deal at the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-jujube-worth-it#post-1940453 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 08:09:18 +0000 winniebee 1940453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsF: did you get some of their small er pouches to help organize it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-jujube-worth-it#post-1940441 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 08:02:31 +0000 MrsF 1940441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: it's quite possible I got the recommendation for the hobo from you :happy: . Thanks! So glad to hear that the BFF is a winner too. Mine's sitting in the nursery waiting for baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-jujube-worth-it#post-1940400 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 07:27:32 +0000 winniebee 1940400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: so I watched YouTube videos and am almost sold. But it seems like to maximize the space you need to use some of their smaller pouches and bags. Which ones do you have? @singingbee: same question :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-jujube-worth-it#post-1940376 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 07:00:23 +0000 singingbee 1940376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love mine. Something got on there and it came off without any problems. I have enough room for all of my things and it is super cute. It holds up to my wear and tear. I'd watch YouTube videos. I got mine off of Amazon. Love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-jujube-worth-it#post-1940294 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 23:50:01 +0000 mrskc 1940294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I really do think they are worth it. I feel like I should be a spokesperson for them with how much I feel like I've been promoting their bags around the boards lately. lol </p> <p>Here are some pics of my BFF.<br /> Pros:<br /> -can be backpack style or messenger. Seriously love backpack feature with 2 kids. There have been times I've put it on my back, carried the infant carrier in one hand and DS in the other. Nice to not have to worry about the bag too.<br /> -love the handle on the top and use that all the time to carry the bag. Makes it easy to grab it out of the car or for carrying it in and out of the house.<br /> -machine washable<br /> -I love way the bag opens up and you can easily see all items in it. No need for lots of digging around!<br /> -Lots of pockets inside to keep things organized.<br /> -LOVE the mommy pocket on the front to keep my wallet and phone in. And love that it has a sunglasses holder. Also love the key chain clip so I can easily find my keys. </p> <p>Cons:<br /> -Can't think of any besides that the backpack is not the most comfortable and DH complains it's a little awkward sometimes. But I'm not carrying it like a backpack for hours on end so it doesn't bother me. </p> <p>Included a couple pics of mine. I keep 2 burp clothes on both sides of inner pockets. Outer pockets I carry DS's and I's water bottles. Extra set of clothes for DD and a first aid kit in the pocket next to it along with J&amp;J hand and face wipes behind it. I have the Be Quick which has all diapering supplies in it. The pouch behind it has all of DS's snacks in it. I also have a wet bag at the bottom of the bag. </p> <p>@MrsF: I have the hobo too in addition to the BFF. The hobo was great when it was just DS as a toddler. I'm loving my BFF again now with 2 kids. </p> [attach=684/14/newtff.600x450.2014-11-11-20.32.49.jpg] [attach=684/14/newtfh.600x450.2014-11-11-20.33.28.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-jujube-worth-it#post-1940182 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 21:06:13 +0000 winniebee 1940182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Watching youtube videos is a really good idea. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-jujube-worth-it#post-1940155 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 20:44:07 +0000 MrsF 1940155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been using the jujube hobo be for the last year and I love it for a toddler! Great compartments to hide diapers, snacks, toys etc while I pretty much use most of the bag for my stuff. It just seems really well thought-out and easy to organize / find things. It doesn't exactly look like a purse, but a lot less like a diaper bag than most. </p> <p>Just bought the BFF to use with the toddler and newborn soon to come. So glad to hear that you like it @pui: ! </p> <p>I also second watching youtube videos of the ones you're considering. It really helps to see what different people use the pockets for and what you can fit in each bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-jujube-worth-it#post-1940147 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 20:36:11 +0000 pui 1940147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the jujube BFF and I love it. I cloth diaper and it has tons of room for it all. I also love how it can be used as a backpack or a messenger style bag. I mostly just like how it's set up. </p> <p>I recommend watching video reviews of the bag(s) you're interested in to get a better sense of pros and cons. That's how I ended up choosing the BFF! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-jujube-worth-it#post-1940055 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 19:20:41 +0000 MamaG 1940055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a jujube messenger bag. It held up with very little wear after two years. Bbb carries them if you have one near. At the time, I found amazon to have the best pricing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-jujube-worth-it#post-1940046 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 19:07:26 +0000 Synchronicity 1940046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love to hear reviews on the Boken! I like how it looks as a messenger bag. </p>
