This is a fantastic diaper bag. When my son was born, I had a crappy $15 bag from some no-name store. I thought anyone who spent more than that was a sucker. But when my junky little thing broke after just 3 months, I started looking around for something a little more dependable. I still was NOT going to spend $250 on some of the "better" bags, and I almost gave up all hope of finding anything in between- good quality and affordable. Finally, I stumbled upon the Skip Hop, and I thought it must be too good to be true! Compact design, durable fabric, and not hideous?! For less than $60??! But that's exactly what it is. It's wonderful. The strap adjust from super short, for wearing just under you shoulder, to super long, for wearing messenger style. It has built in stroller clips, which are incredibly easy to work. Can you believe that for bags 3 times as expensive, you still have to buy the stroller clips separately?? There are plenty of large pockets, on the front and on the inside. I can fit my wallet, address book, and planner all in one pocket. Seriously. There are also two zippered pockets, but you can't really store that much in them, because they are wide and shallow, so they become hard to zip if they are very full. But they are perfect for bibs, or one or two small toys. Bottle/sippy cup/mom's water bottle holders on the outside. One expands quite large. Very handy. The only tiny complaint I have is that when you fill up all the pockets, there is not much actual space inside the bag. You can shove things in, and it's not really that bad, but it's kind of cramped, and you feel like the typical woman who can't find what she needs in her bag because it's so full. But really, there is room for a lot. This bag is so durable I can't believe it. It's been roughed up in sand, on hard floors, scratched by our cat, and dropped on the ground more times than I can count, and is still perfect. This after my old one tore a huge hole in just 12 weeks. Love it!!!

I love this diaper bag and can see using it even after the kid is grown! It has the perfect amount of pockets and straps on to the stroller nicely. I no longer carry a separate purse when traveling with the babe. The two shallow zippered pockets on the top are great for holding my wallet, phone, and a few other small essentials that I want to have easy-access to without having to dig around. The inside holds the diapers, wipes, and various burp cloths/blankets. I use the outer pockets for my two glasses cases, keys, and paperback book. Of course, do whatever works for you, but I think you will be pleased with the ease of organization and many colors to choose from. Also, unlike some messenger-type bags, it doesn't have the annoying "flap" on top that serves no function. Yay!

I am having my first child, so I did a lot of research on diaper bags. It may sound silly, but I wanted to find one that was useful, big enough, and durable. Skip-Hop is an amazing company and they successfully created the perfect diaper bag. The strap has a very cushioned sleeve on it, can be taken off completely and then hung with hooks onto the stroller, there are pockets galore of all sizes and a lot of the pockets have magnets clasps, the bag is big enough without being gigantic, and it just so happens to be super cute! I would not buy any other diaper bag besides this one.
