maman Designer Diaper Bag With Matching Changing Pad

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!

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!

Just what I want in a new diaper bag. I’ve had a few since my daughter was born and now they each seem too big and cumbersome now that she’s a toddler. I like this because I can easily fit a bottle or two on the side insulated pockets if we are out for a long time. The back pocket holds the diaper pad neatly in place and it’s not bulky but still sufficient for use for a 1+ yr old. The interior compartment is a great size and includes useful pockets. Additionally there is another zipper pocket on top that holds my things like lipstick, hair ties and keys. I could even fit my wallet in there too if so desired but the main compartment area is plenty roomy enough for it in addition to my toddler’s essentials. I like the pockets on the front because they are deep and have a magnetic feature so they stay closed yet still accessible. A key hook strap is also included on the interior of the bag. The crossbody strap is comfortable on my petite frame and the bag can easily be worn as a shoulder bag too. Overall, great purchase! I like that I can carry this bag to work and that it looks nice with any outfit style.

I spent hours reading amazon reviews for a new diaper backpack and ended up buying this diaper bag. Green color looks exactly as photographed. Looks very nicely made. Love the stroller straps, brown trim, red zipper, and gold hardware. The list price is a great deal at $55. Extremely light weight and the handles and strap are comfortable enough to carry all day. Bag is a little smaller than I expected. I have two kiddos in diapers and both using bottles. This bag is big enough to go a whole day with one little one (diapers, wipes, 2 changes of clothes, formula, bottles, snacks, toys, hand sanitizer, bib, burp cloth, moms water bottle, wallet, and cell phone) or a half day with two little ones. The side bottle holders are large enough for our short/wide tommee tippees and avent natural bottles. I would say this bag is not big enough for a day of cloth diapering, even for just one kiddo. All the pockets are convenient dimensions (feels like this bag was made just for my stuff!). The magnets on the outside pockets are a nice feature. The only thing I don't like is that the large, side pocket gapes when it's not full exposing where I like to keep my wallet and cell phone. Not a problem at all when the bag is full (bag is almost empty in picture). Anyways, I think this is my first review ever; loved this bag so much I wanted to share!

I bought this bag for my sister who is a first time mom. She loves it because it's practical and stylish at the same time. It's a little pricey but worth every penny.

Overall good bag
