I'm looking to get a new diaper bag because the one I have is so big and inconvenient! What do you feel like the pros and cons are of your diaper bag? TIA!!

    I have a PPB Boxy Backpack that I really like. It has plenty of pockets and room for extra outfits, toys, etc. I love the fact that the changing pad is connected and folds out easily. It's also a bonus that it can be worn as a backpack or across your body. This biggest con for me, though relatively minor, is the fact that the front flap closes with a giant strip of velco...it's just a little loud, and I don't like the fact that it closes all the way every time I put the flap back over (if that makes any sense). HTH!

    I have the cake collection. The clutch and society social and i love them both. the positive is how cute they are plus the changing pad is built into all of them, the con (to me) is they are a tad bit small. Then again i went around carrying basically a dufflebag.

    I got mine while they had a HUGE sale for relief for japan about 2 months ago and got 2 of them for $150. Personally i love them, would i buy another one? no, i wish they were a bit bigger, i have a kate spade one and it is HUGE! i just want to combine the two! haha

    I agree with this.  I HATE the velcro - if DD is napping in her stroller and I need to get something out it wakes her up half the time.  Also, because of the way the changing pad zips up on the sides, you've got to be pretty talented to hold LO and zip it up at the same time (makes changing her in small restaurant restrooms a bit tricky).

    Also - I wear dark washed jeans a lot, and I wear the bag as a messenger bag a lot and the dye has rubbed off onto the back of the bag.  Not a huge deal, but it's got a blue tint in some places now.

    I also have the boxy backpack that I received as gift.  I don't like it.  It's very pretty, but definitely not as functional as my original diaper bag, Skip Hop Studio.  I thought I would try switching one day and the first day I HATED it and switched back.  I feel like there are hardly any pockets and it's a bottomless pit when you are trying to find something fast.  And like the PP said, the flap with the velcro is SO stupid.  When LO is asleep, it wakes him up and it just lies weird when the bag is closed.  I hated that it didn't have any outside pockets for me to throw my keys and cell phone in also.  I don't know about their other styles, but I don't recommend this one.

    Thank you ladies!! I think I'll get one! I have read a lot of reviews as well and it seems like the biggest complaint is the Velcro. We live in a apartment on the third floor and it's so hard to hike up all of those stairs with LO an my duffle bag! The back pack would be great! Now to talk DH into letting me buy another DB!!

    I have the Sashay Satchel, which I love! It looks like a purse, but I can shove a ton of stuff in there! We cloth diaper and I can fit about five-seven cloth diapers depending on the type, plus the wet bag. I BF so I don't need to carry bottles etc, but I don't think that would be a problem if I did. It's great!
