Diaper Bag - Skip Hop Duo

So before my baby was born I scoured the Internet looking for a diaper bag that was a reflection of me and my style. Did you know that people pay a lot of money for designer diaper bags? There are some really cool ones out there but I am not willing to sell my first born in order to purchase one.

I settled on the Skip Hop Duo in green. It's canvas for easy clean-up (I haven't had to clean it off yet, fingers crossed). I like multiple pockets and its narrow shape makes carrying easy with all the other stuff you cart along with the baby. It's a shoulder strap bag and remarkably, holds a ton of stuff. It clips easily around the stroller handles so it's never in the way. The one drawback to this feature is you need to unclip the shoulder strap to be able to attach to the stroller. I chose green so both my husband and I could use it with gender neutrality. All in all it's a good bag for around 70 bux. There is no top flap to encase the items within, which would have been helpful (the Skip Hop Dash has this feature), but it does have a velcro strip to hold stuff in. However, the crap you need for a baby usually doesn't allow this feature to be useful.

But let's be honest, you could buy a $10 dollar backpack and that would be sufficient. Heck, Nestle gives you a pretty nifty bag, free, if you sign up for their newsletter. And, although I carefully researched and pondered this purchase, my husband went to Old Navy and got a camouflage messenger bag for $14 that he plans on using.

In an aim to stay hip and cool I recommend this bag or those like it even though I feel $70 is steep. Just try not to be defined by your diaper bag. If it happens to say Juicy on it, you can bet that the only thing really juicy about it - are dirty diapers.
