Poll - Skip Hop, JJ Cole, or Diaper Dude

I want a neutral/black bag for DH and I to share.  I was set on the Skip Hop Duo, but in the store the other two just felt nicer.  I'm leaning towards the JJ Cole - it just felt so nice, but it's my least favorite look.  All are in the $55-65 range.

    My only advise is not the JJ Cole one. Mine just like that started to tear at the zipper after 2 weeks and when I called the company they said it was common ... Huh what????? I just started using a backpack instead.

    I heard this same thing from a couple friends when I was registering for stuff for DD#1 so I avoided the JJCole--i voted for Skip Hop. I LOVE my studio bag. Looks brand new 3 years later.

    I got DH a messenger-style diaper bag from Eddie Bauer to satisfy his manly-ness request. It was $60 at Eddie Bauer and then I saw that Target has a very similar, though slightly smaller, EB bag for $40.

    Sorry to high jack but---Did the company do anything about this "common" problem? I hope so!

    I have a a JJ Cole in a different style and have had good luck with it. 

    I don't have any experience with any of these bags personally though so no vote from me.

    Diaper Dude...we've had it since before DD was born.  We used it for the 1st year of her life and shared it everywhere.  I love the way it is organized and how it looks like a messenger bag when DH is wearing it. 

    We'll use the Diaper Dude as DD's travel bag now as she is getting older (almost 2).

    I personally don't like the look of the Skip Hop for a neutral bag for the 2 of you.  I would have suggested JJ Cole because it looks cool, but not after what was said by the PP.

     I had the same problem with that bag 4 years ago!  Zipper broke.  They sent me a new one.  4 months later, it broke again!  I opted to get a different bag this time from them.  I went with the Tote.  It was great, but a tad small.  

    I recently bought a Skip Hop and will never go back to JJ Cole!

    But for a guy, I think the Diaper Dude is perfect.

    Yes.  There is a 1 year warranty on all their bags.  They have very good customer service, but after two ripped bags, I got fed up!

    DH has a Diaper Dude and he/we almost never use it. Those 3 front pockets are nice but there is almost no space in the interior. I have a Skip Hop Duo Deluxe which is pretty good, but also kind of too small now that I have to bring sippies, snacks, and toys. DH ends up carrying my diaper bag when we go out (and I carry the baby) so I kind of wish I had got a more neutral one for myself.
