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!

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.

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.

I really liked my Eddie Bauer Bag in the beginning. The material holds up well. It is nice and roomy too! However, I soon realized that the bag is heavy when it is empty. It is a great strain on my shoulder. Also, the diaper changing mat that comes with it doesn't last long. My baby is now 5 months and is almost too big for it. I'm looking into buying a backpack and a larger changing mat.

I registered for and received this bag for our shower. I have since used it a lot. Its amazing how we can fill up every bit of space in a diaper bag, its extremely useful for short trips too. And its stylish without the mundane so called baby designs. The only flaw in this bag is its attached changing pad which is very inconvenient and too small.

I registered for this diaper bag and thought I would use it as my primary diaper bag. However, the bag is quite bulky and heavy.

On frequent trips to mall or wherever the stroller is needed, this bag quickly becomes a nusance because it does not fit in the "storage compartment" under our stroller (Graco Glider). We either have to carry the heavy thing on our shoulders the entire shopping trip or somehow strap it over the stroller and hope & pray it doesn't flip the stroller over if, by chance, we let go of the stroller for one second.

I ended up purchasing a much smaller Eddie Bauer bag, made very similar to this one (same navy fabric and leather front) for every day use because it is much more convenient & easier to carry (and it fits VERY well under my stroller - another plus!).

The diaper bag is an overall nice product that has a great amount of space but not feasible or recommended for everyday use. It is more of a bag that would be used for overnight trips or vacations (or a trip to grandma & grandpa's for the weekend!!).

My Husband wanted a more masculine bag, so we registered for this one. Is he ever happy, it can carry everything he thinks he needs and then some for our little one. It's also great for mom's on the go in the business world as it matches the attire we are required to wear. This is the perfect, durable bag for anyone starting their family. No doubt it will still be around to use for child #2. A GOTTA HAVE IT!!!!

He absolutely loves this one because it isn't so "cutesy" as the one that a relative bought for me. He likes the pull-out changing mat. It has enough room for everything that you need and is not nearly as heavy as our other diaper bag. It's a great one:)

I purchased this diaper bag for my wife. Within a week of using it I was sorry I ever found it on Amazon.com. The bag is much smaller then other diaper bags of this price. The zippers have all broken and trying to clean it out is a nightmare. I ended up buying a much nicer bag at the local babies-r-us store. The Eddie Bauer bag has a small area to hold bottles, an attached changing pad (it makes it hard to use in cramped bathrooms), the zippers are undersized, and it stains like crazy
DO NOT BUY THIS DIAPER BAG... if I can stop just one person from owning this monster I'll feel better.

My husband and i recently took a 2 week trip and this bag was great! It fit everything we needed plus more. I liked the clear accessory bag that you could take out. That made it easy to store all of our child's bath products etc. I would reccommend this bag to anyone.. and my husband doesn't mind carrying the bag around cause it doesn't look like a diaper bag!
