I just got the bag in the mail today, and I already love it! I've been wearing it around the house to see if it is comfortable, and I forgot that I had it on!! The bag has several compartments of varying sizes, ranging from lipstick sized to a big one in back that's will hold a couple of diapers, wipes, a change of clothes and a toy or two. It has a very sleek, modern look to it, the colors are very pretty in person.

I don't know that this would be the only diaper bag that I would want, particularly in those early parent days, when you think you need to take two of everything everywhere you go. But, now that I have our routine down, and know just want I need to take with me, I like the size of this bag. It is big enough for the essentials, but doesn't feel like you're dragging a suitcase around. Yet, I have more than enough room for the things I need. I like the fact that it sits across my body, with the weight evenly distributed, so I don't have to worry about it slipping off of my shoulder. This diaper bag would be a great addition to a registry, or a great shower gift. I am a very satisfied customer!

*********UPDATE*********
I have now had this bag for about 4 months, and it is still awesome!! I get so many compliments on it! On a daily basis, I can carry 2 diapers, a box of wipes, an extra onesie and extra pair of pants, a snack cup of cheerios, a bib, a spoon, a sippy cup, a small board book, a plastic set of keys, an extra pacifier, my cell phone, my wallet, my keys, a lipstick and a chapstick. Not bad for such a compact bag. Because it is divided into different compartments, there is no rifling around for things like with a tote bag. I can easily get to the things I need, even while wearing it. I just wanted to update and say that after a couple of months of daily use, I still highly reccommend this diaper bag!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars I love this bag- but doesn't suit every need, April 9, 2005

I love this bag! I have a toddler and a newborn and must say that with two kids, it won't carry everything single thing that I might need, but it is the most convenient diaper bag I have tried so far. I love that I can wear it without straining my shoulder with a heavy load and my hands are still free to take care of the kiddos.

One of the main reasons that I purchased it was because it had the cell phone and key compartments within easy reach and I have hated having to search through other bags for a ringing phone or things I needed quickly especially when the kids are energetic or unhappy. Also, my husband doesn't mind wearing this bag and we can chase after our toddler with out worrying about a bulkly bag swinging around.

You could fit a good amount in this bag for one kid, but with two (including one who is potty training) I still need something else to supplement. I purchased the stroll'n- tote (a tote bag with different compartments that attaches to my stroller for the extras.) I keep this bag in the car stocked with extra diapers, wipes, and toys all of the time and grab it when we are going to be out and about for the day and might need reserves. It also comes in handy to have the extra tote when I leave my daughter in the nursery @ church since I am so attached to the Essentials bag and it has become a purse of sorts for me.

I find that I can fit diapers and changes of clothes for both of my kids, a generous wipes case, small changing pad, a receiving blanket, a snack for my toddler, my wallet, a burp cloth, my cell, keys, lip gloss, a pacifier, and a small toy in the Essentials tote.

Overall, I love it and feel like it fits my needs, but it won't work for everyone- especially those who like to have everything possible on hand for any situation that may arise. But for those who like to travel with moderate goods, this would be a godsend. It is so much easier to find the things you need in this bag with all of the compartments and I always know where everything is.

I find that this bag makes my life easier and looks good too. Plus I can use for myself when the kids are older because it looks more grown-up.

I love this bag. I cannot tell you how much time I have spent looking for the perfect sized diaper bag. This one is it. I can put my keys, wallet, cell phone, lipstick in it and still have room for the things my baby needs without lugging around a huge tote. My daughter has severe food allergies so I have to bring her food with me wherever I go-this bag has the room for it. I can put this bag on and not worry about it falling off my shoulder. It also can hang on the back of the stroller. My older daughters want to carry it all the time as well. The one I purchased is dusty pink with stripes. It is pretty without being babyish. (No elephants, bunnies or such) I love this bag so much that I am buying two more to give as gifts. I highly recommend this bag to anyone looking for a small-medium sized diaper bag.
