Diaper Bag

Does anyone have this bag? I was planning on getting a Ju-Ju-Be BFF, but thinking I might go with this one as a cheaper alternative but I'm still not sure....

It's the JJ Cole Mode style one from BRU:

ETA: Will it be big enough for everything for a newborn and an 18 month old?

I had the JJ Cole Mode bag with DD1. I was not a fan. There is only one main section and everything would get lost in there. I also found that it was barely big enough for all her things. I cannot imagine using it with two kids.

I now have the Skip Hop Studio tote for my 2U2. It's the perfect size and has tons of pockets.

I just want to say that I got the BFF and love it!  It's so organized.  With 2 it works great but I would need a bigger bag for all day outings.  I was a pack rat but I've gotten a lot better with 2 now.

I had the fold over flap JJ Cole one and it was fine for one baby, but with two I wouldn't think there is enough room.  I would go with the Ju Ju Be one.

Thanks! I just saw a bunch of people raving about the JJB BFF over on 2U2, so I guess I'll just go with that one like originally planned. I'm pretty minimalistic when it comes to packing diaper bags (I used to be a pack rat) but I would rather have too much room and down grade (and have it for longer outings) then waste money on too little space. KWIM?

I don't know much about JJ Cole.  But I am a true JJB lover  

Personally, I do not think the BFF is big enough for 2.  I got a JJB Be Prepared for 2u2 and 2 in diapers.  I will probably switch to a BFF once DD1 is PT.

We bought the JJ Cole and hate it.  I clean it out and take stuff out all the time but it's always overflowing to the point that it won't close. Even my husband who made fun of me when I was considering the more expensive options says now that we should have gone that route.  The only reason we haven't replaced it is that we really only use it on weekends since we both work and I can't justify the cost.  I'll definitely be splurging if we ever decide to have #2 though!
