The perfect bag for traveling!, December 9, 2001
This review is from: Navy Eddie Bauer Weekender Diaper Bag (Baby Product)
This bag is our "big" diaper bag. We keep a smaller diaper bag for daily use - which my husband refuses to use because it is Tommy Hilfiger. He thinks this one is "more masculine." Is that a selling point? I guess it is to men. :)
We recently took a five-day trip and this is the bag we used. I absolutely love the small, zippered pocket located above the tan flap with the logo on it. I used that to carry my money...I know it's not the safest place for it but that pocket blends in so well with the bag that my husband couldn't find it at first.
The flap pocket folds out and becomes the changing pad. Just above the changing pad are two mesh pockets. In those, I keep wipes and a diaper so that I don't have to dig for them in the bag. I love that.
The inside of the bag has two bottle holder straps and a wonderfully large, clear dirty clothes bag that attaches with velcro, making it easy to remove. The rear outside of the bag has a large, roomy open pocket that closes with a single velcro tab. There is also a good-size zippered pocket on the inside of the bag. Quite a bit of storage altogether!

First-Rate Diaper Bag, July 13, 2003
This review is from: Navy Eddie Bauer Weekender Diaper Bag (Baby Product)
Are you looking for an outstanding diaper bag at a decent price? The Eddie Bauer Weekender Diaper Bag is designed well; it looks smart, and is easy on the wallet. It is extremely well thought-out, and wears well. The Accessory Pouch is more than enough, while the interior of the bag is roomy. When William was an infant, I carried 10 diapers, a box of wipes, an insulated bottle tote, board books, toys, and a change of clothes in this bag. As he aged, I replaced the tote with sippy cups, snacks, and other toys. Two years later, the bag still looks new. To be fair, I am a stay-at-home mom; hence, I do not put my baby gear to the test as other parents. Nevertheless, I am active, and this bag has been carted around a lot.
Favorite Feature:
Removable Plastic Pouch
The Removable Plastic Pouch is made of heavy-duty plastic, and is ample in size. Measuring 8 x 14, the clear pouch fastens to the inside of the bag via Velcro. This very clever design allows for dirty diapers, wet clothes, or liquid items that might make a mess if spilled. I used this pouch almost daily, and I praise the designers for their insight into moms world.
Least Favorite Features:
Foldout Changing Pad
Initially this feature worked well, because it is attached to the bag, so one does not need to go digging for it. Once it is unzipped, and unfolded it makes a nice cushion for a little persons bum. On the other hand, as my son grew, it became awkward to employ. This feature ended up adding bulk to the bag, which is no added bonus.
Mesh Bottle Holder
This facet of the bag is designed for bottles that are small in diameter, such as what Evenflo offers. I used Avent bottles, which are much larger around, so this aspect was of no use for my bottles, but it sure came in handy for storing socks. I used a bottle tote since I expressed my milk, which needed to be chilled. As a result, I would not have used this holder to store bottles, even if it was large enough. I mention it as I think it is a flaw in the design.
To summarize, the Eddie Bauer Weekender Diaper Bag provides a lot of features for the money. If I were shopping today for a diaper bag I would certainly take a chance on this one.

It's an OK bag, May 17, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Navy Eddie Bauer Weekender Diaper Bag (Baby Product)
I registered for and received this bag for our shower. I wanted something more masculine for my husband to carry. Turns out we use other smaller bags for every day (including a great backpack diaper bag I bought for myself from Combi online.) This bag, however, is far too bulky and heavy for every day. We've only used it for overnight/weekend trips and it's great for that purpose. It's very roomy with all the compartments you need. I would not, however, have registered for this bag if I'd known the changing pad was attached. That's extremely inconvenient and awkward.
