Designer Diaper Bag With Matching Changing Pad

I purchased this bag to replace my daily-used and well-worn previous diaper bag of two years, and while my previous bag (the Skip Hop Duo Special Edition Diaper Bag in French Stripe) is similar in style, this Maman bag has several features that are a great improvement for me.I love the two bottle pockets that make storing and removing my water bottle and my toddler's cup quick and easy. My previous diaper bag had vertical zipper bottle pockets on each side that were too small to hold my water bottle, so I'd have to store my water bottle inside the bag, taking up space. This bag solves that problem. I can also store and remove my water bottle and my toddler's cup with one hand, which was impossible with my previous bag.I also love the addition of a zippered pocket on the inside of the main compartment of the bag. In my previous bag, I used the more shallow top zippered compartment to store my phone, wallet, and keys, as well as my hand sanitizer, lotion, lip balm, etc. (they'd get lost in the main compartment, especially as I pulled other items out of the elasticized pockets.) With this bag, I can store those smaller items inside the zippered pocket of the main compartment. Less clutter, and no chance of them spilling out. It's a small feature, but I really appreciate this extra zippered pocket!Lastly, the zippers are extremely sturdy, heavy duty zippers. One of the zippers on my previous bag broke this past year, so I could no longer safely store my wallet in the shallow compartment and ended up toting it around in the main zippered compartment, using up even more space. I don't foresee that happening with this bag. The quality of this Maman diaper bag is fantastic, as is the style, and all at a great price point. Choosing a quality diaper bag that'll stand up to daily use (and that one and one's husband will both feel comfortable toting around) is no easy task, but I'm very satisfied with my choice of this Maman bag, and that I'm supporting a small business in the process!

There are a few things that stand out to me most about this diaper bag: durability, style/look, and functionality.I have been using this diaper bag for 2 years. TWO YEARS. I bought it when my first child was 7 months old. He is now almost 3 and I also have a 4 month old. I have absolutely no doubt that this bag will last me until I no longer need a diaper bag.I should also note that I do not carry a purse. This bag holds everything I need for myself and my children. It is used every single day. There is virtually no sign of wear and tear on this thing. The zippers are all still in tact and fully functional. There are no rips, tears or imperfections in the fabric or leather. It is basically in immaculate condition. The only thing that shows it had been used is the long strap has folded over and essentially has a permanent crease. I attribute this to me carrying it on my shoulder like that too many times. But it’s not a big deal at all.It looks so sleek. Images don’t really do it justice. It looks and feels very luxurious and premium. I love the style.Functionally, it’s perfect for me. I love the 2 side pockets for bottles. I love the 2 pockets on the front with magnetic closure. I love the back pocket for a diaper changing pad. My favorite is probably the smaller zippered pocket that sits at the front/top of the bag. This is where I put most of “my” stuff - phone, wallet, keys. It’s simple and functional and it just works for me.I absolutely love this diaper bag and would buy it 100x again- but I’d never need to because it’s so darn durable!

First of all, I bought this bag because I was looking for a well constructed and attractive AND efficient work bag. I am a professional who has to take public transportation, so the bag I carry can make all the difference between whether I am "schlepping" to work or "travelling" to work. I had been carrying a designer diaper bag as my work bag which, although it worked fine as a "chic" diaper bag when I had my daughter, it did not translate as well for daily mass transit use. However, it was better than the alternatives I was seeing for work, which were all vacuous large totes with no compartments, or extremely narrow computer messenger bags. Some of my gripes with my bag (for which I paid $200 + due to the "designer" status, pssht!) were the skinny, unpadded shoulder straps that made walking from the train (and sometimes standing with it on my shoulder) so uncomfortable, and the lack of any exterior pockets for keys, metro fare card, or phone made me feel I was sacrificing utility for sleek appearance. What I loved about a diaper bag were the many interior pockets, and specifically, 2 side interior elastic pockets that graduated from holding bottles to holding my umbrella and coffee. Still, I needed something that was just as classy and clean-lined but with better accessibility for the things I need both to and in the office.This bag improves on every aspect of my former bag. I traded internal elastic pockets for the external version, and have not been disappointed. I am never without a place to stow my cup and umbrella. Also, the external front pockets with the magnetic closure mean I can slide my keys and card in and out with the confidence they will stay there. Cutting down on time spent looking for those things while in constant motion on public transportation is a huge plus for me. The large back pocket holds my tablet or book of the moment, so I don't expose all of my personal items to a crowd while getting those things out on the train. The top front pocket zips but stows my earbuds, wallet, and sunglasses in their big case- no need for an additional purse for personal items! The interior pocket is roomy enough for my work shoes, makeup bag, and even a cardigan. There are also internal pockets, and I use one to keep a small handbag in for walking around at the office. I haven't even needed the other two internal pockets yet.I did order a padded should strap cover for the adjustable strap, and I would recommend the company developing one as an option. Mine has memory gel and really helps keep me comfortable, as the woven fabric can tend to rub and irritate my shoulder if walking for more than a few blocks.All in all, THIS is the kind of lifestyle bag I think most working moms can really appreciate and use for the long haul. I have gotten complements daily on it. Thank you for coming up with this design at such an affordable price and with such a great look- because common sense design should look good, too!
