Product Description

Editorial Reviews

Spacious and luxurious, this chocolate, faux suede duffle looks more like a fashion bag than something that may carry soiled diapers. Its features include large compartments that are equipped with either zippers (main compartment) or are held together with magnetic inserts. An outer pocket runs the length of the bag for holding items that require quick access, like keys or a cell phone. There’s also a matching changing pad that fits into the bag, which can be whipped out and used when there’s no changing station around. Also, a tiny dangling heart-shaped picture frame adds a little charm, and an ID tag is there if needed. And most of all, it’s a bag with a theme everyone can get behind: love. --Diane Beall

3.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't Meet My Great Expectations, December 21, 2005

This review is from: Chocolate Brown "love" Duffle Tote (Baby Product)

When I started looking for a diaper bag, I did my homework. I read review after review, went to the store, tried the bags out. After lots of research, I decided I HAD to have the "Love" duffle tote. It was a little more expensive than I had in mind, but hey, look at the thing...it is GORGEOUS!

I bought the bag a few months before my baby was born and before she was born every now and then I'd pull it out and admire my "perfect bag."

Now that I'm using it on a regular basis, I call it my "Like" duffle tote. It's still beautiful and I get compliments on it EVERYWHERE I go, but it lacks a little in functionality.

For context, I'll say that one of the things that drew me to this bag was all the little compartments and the fact that I could carry ONE bag and carry my essentials (wallet, keys, cell phone and lip gloss) and the baby's essentials in one bag. That said, I carry it every time I leave the house. So I write this review as someone who has actually used the bag in everyday life.

First of all, it is HEAVY. Now, I had seen other reviewers say it was heavy. When I tried it out in the store it didn't seem that bad but as I carry it around, it DEFINITELY is a heavy bag.

Secondly, when I fill the little compartments, there is not much room for other things a baby needs (like a blanket and a spare change of clothes). When I add these things to the mix the bag gets "fat" which makes it even more cumbersome to carry.

Thirdly, the handles are just too short. Not only do they not fit on a stroller, but if I'm wearing a big coat (which I wasn't when I bought the bag in August), it's hard to get it over my shoulder (and I'm not a large person).

Because I paid so much for this bag, I will continue to carry it for a while, but for those who haven't made the purchase yet, I'd recommend looking for a bag that's just as cute, but a little more functional.

I just bought this bag and I adore it! I hated my old diaper bag because I had to unpack the whole thing to get at a toy or spoon or cup. As soon as I saw this bag I knew it was the one. It looks fabulous, has pockets and compartments like crazy (with labels - cute!) and is comfortable to carry. The diaper pocket looked small but I was surprised at how far out it expands. I also love that the front section is for mom - I can consolidate our stuff into a single bag instead of having to carry my purse as well.

I just bought this bag a couple of days ago. I have a Two yer old and a new born on the way so I needed space and lots of it. I love how the pockets have the words on the outside where everything goes. Its Stylish and even when I dont have my babies with me I dont mind carrying this around. There is plenty of extra room after putting in everything. I recommend this bag to anyone who has one or more kids and doesnt want to take along an extra purse just for your things.
