PSA: Petunia Pickle Bottom sale

Rosebud2587 · April 2014

Petunia Pickle Bottom is having an outlet sale, up to 60% off, through 4/28! I might have to buy that boxy backpack I've been eyeing up.

I had heard the boxy backpack was too small for twins... but I just saw the ABUNDANCE boxy backpack designed for twins... dammit now I want it lol.

@katekat8721 , I actually have read a couple of twin mamas do just fine with the regular boxy backpack. I am planning on getting that one instead of the abundance because I don't think I can carry a bag that big + two babies.

And THANK YOU for this PSA!!!

@MrsP419 Oooh really?! In that case maybe I'll just check out the regular ones! They're only $99, that's such a good price. Here on FB they sell around $80 for used.

I say all this as I already have a brand new perfectly awesome diaper bag to use. I didn't know I would turn into such a diaper bag whore once pregnant haha.

@katekat8721 , my plan, if the boxy backpack ends up being too small, is to just keep a second bag stashed with diapers and outfit changes in my van at all times. Then I can just rotate stuff out as needed. I have a 31 tote I have been using lately for my big kids, and they don't need much.

I was thinking of getting a 31 bag for in between the car seats, just to hold extra stuff. Something like this: https://www.thirtyonegifts.com/catalog/product/27/catid/22/swid/917a/

Awesome! I don't know anyone who has it so it makes me happy to hear

Are the sides pretty firm? Do they stand up well?

I actually got the abundance boxy back back diaper bag and it is a little big but it will be nice for when DD has sleep overs at grandparents house or we are away for a while....i also purchased a City Carryall for quick everyday trips that i don't need to bring a bunch of stuff with me:)

I had the boxy backpack and ended up returning it a few months after using it. (Nordstroms return policy is amazing, and took it back with full disclosure that I had used it and didn't like it.)
For me, it was an awkward size. It often felt either too big or too small. I felt like there weren't enough pockets, so all of my stuff just wound up unoraganized and in the bottom of the back pack.
I did like that it could be used as a back pack or a satchel. That part was nice. But defintely not worth the price tag for me. I ended up getting a SkipHop that I really love and suits my needs!
All of that being said, I know so many people love theirs, so maybe I'm just weird!

ugabamafans , I know that this was not directed at me, but I had the Skip Hop Studio with my first. I liked it a lot! That is about $75 on Amazon. I think Skip Hops are really nice bags! I just didn't think their "twin" one was particularly pretty.

@Ellebee85‌ which SkipHop bag do you have? I went ahead and ordered while it was on sale, but plan to continue researching. If I can find a bag that I like for $50 instead of $100, even better! (And that's why I bought from BBB, so I could return, if desired)

Also not ellebee lol. I have the Skip Hop Duo Double (twin version). It's huge! You should be able to fit multiple kids' crap in there. I can let you know in a couple months how I like it :P

Thank you for this PSA! I may have just splurged on a City Carryall. :-)

This is what I have as well, but so far I've only used it to tote the cat around our condo. I preferred a plain black diaper bag to a patterned one and this seemed to have plenty of pockets but also wasn't super structured so if I don't need all the space it will be lighter and smaller. Or so I hope.

@ugabamafans (sorry, mobile isn't letting me quote for some reason)
I have the Bento one from Skip Hop.

www.skiphop.com/product/bentoultimatediaperbag.html

I got it from BBB and used a coupon that made it $80, half of what my Petunia was. I really like that it has so many pockets! It really helps keep me organized. I'll especially need that now that I'll have two littles.

The only down side is that it doesn't come in the super cute patterns that PPB does. but functionality was top priority for me.
