I don't have this bag but I checked it out and here were my thoughts:
-there aren't enough pockets. I have a Kate Spade Stevie and there are way more pockets.
-the zipper comes apart like a jacket. I think it would drive me crazy to have to put them together all the time
-won't stand up on its own

I have it, and it's pretty big. That would probably be my biggest complaint. And the hardware on the body strap is heavy so I just took the strap off. It has enough pockets, in my opinion. Have you looked at storksacs?

@brady80: I'm not sure, but this particular bag *may* be an outlet only bag (that's where I got mine). Hope you find something that works for you!

I got this bag as a gift, it's big and you can easily hold a lot of things in it. I bought some hooks for the stroller and hung it.

I have it and have liked it for the most part. But I carry a lot because my son goes to work with me every day and we need to haul quite a bit. He needed a lot as a newborn, so it was great then, too. But now that he's 19 months, I rarely use it. I've downsized to a much smaller bag.

Pros for me were the size and the durability. Also the option to cross body with the long strap. Cons were the weight of those cross body straps. They are insanely heavy. I'm bad about using pockets when they're available, so the limited amount didn't bother me. I just throw everything in the large pocket anyways.

Out of all of the diaper bags that I have (2 Skip hop, Gucci, LeSportsac, and Kate Spade) I like the Kate Spade one not for weight but more for pockets. The things has like, gosh, around 9 pockets total! It's not light but the space and number of pockets outweighs it all for me. I can tell you I utilize all of the pockets and hardly have trouble finding anything. It also has a paci bag that's clipped to the top of the bag that I use for my house keys since we've never used pacis before. If you sign up for their email you can get some pretty good deals on their diaper bags when they have "secret" sales. It's always patterned but I think they have some pretty nice patterns anyway.

I was looking at the Marc Jacobs one as well and I have to say that I like this one better. More durable nylon and leather with Kate Spade versus all lightweight nylon for the Marc Jacobs. If you're looking more for weight then maybe the MJ is better b/c it is really light.

Mine is an older style but I love it! I do use the Skip Hop ones as a throw around diaper bag often too but they are smaller and have had to replace one of them twice already b/c the d-ring for the strap kept breaking. Luckily BRUs let me exchange for free both times, even past the 90-days.

Good luck and I hope you find the perfect bag soon!

@brady80: I'll take some tomorrow morning at work. The only full length mirror in my house is in the darkest room and its impossible to see anything.

@brady80: So these are terrible pics, but hopefully they give you an idea. When my son was a baby, I often had a little cooler bag with bottles in there, with plenty of room.

love that print! don't think they have it anymore tho
