I bought the Duo because of the easy shoulder to stroller conversion, and would never get a different bag! I ended up with the orange (as it matches my Inglesina Zippy stroller), and love the functional outside pockets. I always know where my cell phone is, and the 'bottle' pouch is adjustable so that it can securely carry a water bottle, skinny 4 oz, or wide neck 8 oz bottle. I like the two zippered compartments on top for my 'valuables'-- the only criticism I have is the velcro closure of the large area. My cloth diaper case always gets snagged on it-- but, I guess, I could easily NOT carry my cloth case and get something else. The changing pad is functional and easy to slip into the outside pocket. Overall, I have been very happy with this bag-- the EASE of converting it into a stroller bag ALONE has made it very worth the cost (and I found mine on Ebay-- so I saved a bit of money:-) The best testimonial has to be that two of my good mommy friends have gone out and gotten this bag because they saw how nice it was to clip from shoulder to stroller!

I tried several diaper bags when my first was born, then ordered this when #2 was on the way. I have used it every day for over 2 years and it is perfect!! I can hold two sippy cups, my water bottle, snacks, diapers & wipes. I carry my personal stuff in one of the zippered pouches with no problem. It is so deep that I also have a pair of socks for each of us in the bottom, plus band-aids,Tylenol, Desitin, etc. and you don't even know they are there. I also have my ipod, heart rate monitor watch/band in other zippered pouch so I always have it but it can't be seen. I borrowed a bigger bag traveling once and it was TOO HEAVY and hard to find things. This is the perfect size to carry quite a bit, but not the kitchen sink. It also has a cell phone holder on the side that makes access really easy. It's also washable and really durable. Oh, and the best part is-it's lightweight before you start packing it. That's really important when you're carrying three drinks with you. This is an awesome bag at an awesome price. I'm about ready to graduate out of diaper bags, but can't find a purse/bag I think will work as great as this yet. Oh, and added bonus my husband has not complained once about carrying this bag!

I loved the idea of this diaper bag! I wish the shoulder strap stayed attached but tucked away or something and the stroller straps stayed put also. You do need an extra hand to undo one and put back on the other strap. The bag is very tall an narrow so you have to creatively get everything in and make sure it goes back in the same way, (which we all know doesn't happen with a baby). The bag does tip over b/c the bottom is so narrow, and it does not close if there is even one extra burp cloth in the top. I do not regret getting this bag at all b/c I love that it attaches to the stroller and you do not have to stick it under underneath. Especially for peg-perego strollers where the under the stroller bag is kind of hard to get big items in and out of. It does not look like a typicall "baby" diaper bag, and it does carry the basics (diapers, wipes, change pad, bottle and baby food), but it does need some more work.
