| This is a great diaper bag that is also functional. the built in changing table is a great addition, and the velcro flap closes very securely. This is a huge plus because i've had bags that you stuff full and don't stay closed. A little pricey, but this may very well be your "purse" for the next couple years. Also, there are a variety of stylish patterns! very hip- chic. |
Pretty, but not perfect

| This diaper bag may be pretty, but it's not very practical. I'm admittedly not very practical in terms of fashion (I'm a stilleto-wearing mom 'til the end), but even I couldn't bear to use this bag anymore. The print is gorgeous, and in the beginning it seemed like a great purchase. But after using it for about 1 1/2 years, I had to toss it. It's dry clean only, which I think is absurd considering spills and stains are all too common with babies. It's rather uncomfortable to carry (I only used the shoulder strap), especially after loading in all the baby necessities. I did, however, appreciate the built-in changing pad, which was washable. I had to finally throw this bag away after finding a litlte mold growing inside the bag thanks to a forgotten-about snack. I recently purchased a Ju-Ju-Be Be Prepared bag from Amazon, which has more pockets, compartments, is washable and anti-microbial. I didn't like the prints as much as I liked PPB, but it's far more functional. For once in my life, I sacrificed style for practicality and have never been happier with my decision. |
Very Heavy and uncomfortable backpack straps

I got sucked into getting a Petunia Pickle Bottom bag because of their pretty fabric. Well, for this kind of price you expect it works well too. It does not.
It is VERY heavy even when empty.
Straps are very uncomfortable to carry backpack style.
No insulated bottle/cup compartments.
Difficult to clean.
Not that many pockets for organization.
Also, depending on the style you get, the lining may be dark, and thus creating a back hole effect where you can't find anything.
I only give this two stars because of the pretty fabric. |
