1st Trimester

opinion on bag

Would you carry this diaper bag if you were having a girl?  Or does it scream boy?  I also like this one but I'm not sure if it's too boy as well?  Not sure what we're having yet, of course, but it's hard to resist a good sale!  I would probably re-use the bag for a second child (regardless of the sex) if it were still in good condition so I would want something semi gender-neutral.

Re: opinion on bag

  • I don't think either of them scream "boy".  I think they look pretty neutral too me. I like the blue one personally (not a fan of yellow).
  • Loading the player...
  • I think both could go either way b/c of the pattern.  I LOVE them both btw - good taste!
  • I think that they're both fairly neutral.  I like the first one the best.
  • i love the first one but that tourquoise color is my favorite so I'm a lil bias. I don't think either one says boy or girl, just a nice and classy non diaper bag looking diaper bag
  • Neither of them scream boy, but people will automatically think boy when they see the blue one.  I like the green one better, anyway!  :)

  • I also think both can easily go either way. I like the first better though because I'm not a big fan of yellow, just never have been. I love the pattern though on both bags. :) Very pretty picks.?
  • i think both are gorgeous.  and in my opinion you are the one carrying it or your SO or another adult so i don't think it needs to match the sex of the baby. it should be a bag you would like to carry.  i don't understand the cutesy bags or slings with teddy bears, disney characters etc but that is just me.

    as i said both are GORGEOUS!

  • I love both of them.  I don't think they scream boy or girl and they certainly do not look like diaper bags at all!  Very stylish!
  • Thanks!  I'm leaning toward the first one but I can't decide if I really want a "certified second" that I can't return or not.  It's kind of a gamble!

  • The color may make them "boyish", but I think the pattern is more neutral.  Pick whichever you like more!

  • They're both good options. I personally like the blue one better.
  • Do you like the boxy backpack???????  I'd never wear it as a backpack though, just on the stroller so I'd rather have a messenger bag.
  • I like them both...I'm not really particular when it comes to "boy" vs "girl" for a diaper bag, I think they're both real nice, I like the first one better just because I love blue/brown together.

  • I have a blue Petunia picklebottom and a green petunia pickbottom clutch. And I have a girl. It just depends on what you like. I will use both again. Although I would love to spulge and get a new one for this baby, but either way any color, its more for you to put babys stuff in, its not really "for" baby.

     Ditto this 100%!  I've never understood why people get diaper bags to match the sex of the baby.  They aren't using it, you are!

  • The second looks more neutral, but nowadays, blue nad brown are everywhere, so it is not screaming boy as it may have in the past
  • i liked them both, but liked the 1st one better---although i do think ppl will think it's automatically a boy if the baby is not wearing pink---it's just the natural response--- i think the green one (and good to see that someone else thinks it's green and not yellow...wondering if my eyes were going lol) but i think the green one is just as cute and would be a better "neutral" bag

    i am thinking along the same lines as a stylish bag-- i was gonna splurge on a large vera bradly tote (the yellow bird which is yellow, black and white)

  • I like the first one best, and I think they're both gender neutral.

    If you're looking for ideas, I have the StorkSak Gigi in chocolate and *love* it. ?It's been through a lot of abuse and still looks brand new, plus it's really stylish.?
