The perfect non-diaper-bag diaper bag

This may be the best bag I've ever owned. I recently traveled by plane and found it was large enough to accommodate my 13" laptop seven extra diapers + wipes (never know how long you're going to be stuck in the airport) two books (one for me one for my husband) and various other items all without making the bag bulky (though yes it was heavy as you can imagine). Yet the bag is somehow compact enough that I can use it around town *without* all of those items and it doesn't look like I'm carrying a giant empty bag around. Should your child decide he wants *you* to hold his beloved stuffed sheep it'll fit easily inside. For any moms and dads out there returning to school you can fit a textbook (two if they're slim) notebooks folders etc. inside and not worry that it looks like you're using a diaper bag. (FYI when my laptop is inside I find my bulky textbook too big to also fit so I just carry it.)



Perhaps my favorite feature are the two front pockets miraculously large enough to easily slip a sippy cup in and out of (but when empty look just as they do in the picture) thus keeping it upright and spill-free. I also love the two zippered pockets at the top of the bag (I keep my wallet in one of them). I don't use my stroller much anymore (my son is 2 1/2) but I do use the stroller clips on the cart handle at the grocery store. I *love* not having to carry my bag around and having easy access to sippy cups snacks etc. that my son may want.More detail ...

Best diaper bag I have found!

I have tried many many diaper bags. It was hard for me to spend anymore money on them especially one that is $80 but i thought i would give it a try. I have a 2 yr. old and an 8 month old so i have to carry 2 sets of diapers 2 change of clothes snacks drinks baby food plus my things wallet phone and many more things. Everything fits in it perfectly and i love that it is very organized! (I hate digging for diapers etc....) Another plus is that i don't find it very heavy. Yes its heavier with ALL the stuff i put in it but for as big as it is its really not that bulky! The only thing i don't like about the bag is that when you set it down it leans to one side (the side with the 3 pockets)! I wish it would just stay upright! Other than that i love this bag i love the space the color the organization the diaper changing pad and it looks stylish!More detail ...

If only it were larger

I liked the idea of having a messenger-style diaper bag as opposed to the more prevalent tote-styles. The Diaper Dude bag is ok but there are a few items that would make it better for my needs.



My biggest wish is that the main compartment were larger. It's fairly small and when we put in all the things we'd like to carry the bag gets stuffed and becomes somewhat misshapen to the point where it lays awkward on my hip and back. I tend to carry portable wipes 4-5 diapers 1-2 change of clothes a hat a blanket a sippy cup a snack trap a couple of toys my cell phone and keys. Because I can't find a place for everything the main inside compartment is a mishmash of unorganized items.



The cell phone holder does a fine job holding my LG flip phone. A bigger phone however wouldn't fit but $15 for a Timbuk2 cell phone case would solve that. Also the elasticized bottle pocket is pretty snug so getting a bottle in and out is kinda tough. On the other hand the bottle doesn't fall out accidentally.



Additionally the dirty diaper pocket in the large compartment should probably have a zipper to keep the smell out of the other items in the bag and avoid cross contamination. The hooks for keys and pacifiers would probably only hold keys. The pacifiers being sold these days aren't on a ring and are much too big to be hooked onto the bag. The included changing pad is padded nicely though.



Overall it's a decent bag especially at Amazon.com prices. Someone in our play group has complimented me twice on the bag so I may just give it away to them or keep it as a backup bag. I recently ordered a DadGear messenger diaper bag for nearly the same price and am hoping that it holds all my items better.More detail ...

The holy grail of diaper bags....

I did tons of research and couldn't decide between this bag and the Fleurville Mothership. I am SO glad I chose the Skip*Hop Studio Diaper Tote!!!!



This bag is awesome. So many pockets - and not those small useless pockets either. All of the pockets are a great size and really help keep everything organized. The handles are a great length and fit nicely over the shoulder; the handle straps also stay put on my shoulder which is important when you're carrying a baby. The bag looks great too. Not too fancy but not too casual. (I have it in black) The material is soft (can't think of a better word) so it's easy to squeeze in to tight spaces - but yet it's sturdy. I have a Fleurville Lexi tote and I love it too but that bag is kind of stiff. I think this Skip*Hop will become my everyday bag. It is a bit large - so if you're not in to large bags this may be better as an over-night diaper bag. But I can fit everything I need in here and have room for a book my make-up bag wallet phone and then some. I only wish they made the inside a brighter color (like the Fleurvilles which have bright blues greens pinks etc.) to add a little spunk but who looks inside the bag anyway...



To give you an idea of how much stuff you can put in this bag here is what I have in it right now:



1. 5 diapers

2. Wipes container AND small package of face wipes

3. 8oz bottle and 6oz bottle of water

4. 3 pairs of baby pants

5. 3 onesies

6. butt paste

7. baby tylenol

8. large nose sucker (you know what i'm talking about!)

9. package of boogie wipes

10. packets of hand sani-wipes

11. package of kleenex

12. 3 burp cloths

13. 3 bibs

14. 3 small toys

15. small baby hoodie and bib in the bottom zipper (awesome secret pocket!)

16. wallet

17. small make-up bag

18. cell phone

19. camera

20. sunglasses with case

21. small blanket on the outside flap

(Don't judge me.....I'm out of town and had to pack lots-o-stuff!)



And there are still some pockets not in use! All this stuff is in its own pocket (except for the clothes) so it's not all just piled in there and hard to find.



I highly recommend this bag - I have been very impressed with it and am glad I bought it.
