Full review
I purchased the Skip Hop Duo Diaper bag when my DD was about 15 months old. I needed something that was going to hold all of my things needed for baby and be versatile at the same time. I found it in the Skip Hop.
This bag has a buckle strapping system. It is the kind with the two "squeezy" things on each side. . .sorry I can not describe it better. Anyway, you have the shoulder strap on and you are on your way. Once you arrive to your destination, and decide that you would rather have your baby/personal needs close at hand, yet not be carrying the bag, you simply take the shoulder strap off and use the smaller (yet same) straps found on the inside of the bag to put it on any stroller, shopping cart etc. . .
I have tried this bag on many objects just to see if it worked. . .and it normally has! I have been able to put it on both the single handle and double handle strollers with ease. Also shopping carts/buggies, rental strollers in amusement parks, you name it, I have pretty much been thrilled with being able to use my bag, yet have it "out of the way".
The design of the bag makes it a great one for both mom and dad. Not at all a "girly" looking bag, they also come in great colors to suit any need, taste, and style.
This bag offers all kinds of storage pockets. On the front you have two pockets, perfect for bottles, or any small items such as toys for baby. On either side you have pockets. One pocket is a mesh drawstring pocket great for a sippy cup. . .even the bigger toddler cups fit perfectly. On the other side is a cell phone holder for mom and dad. The interior of the bag offers you two storage/bottle pockets. The interior is very roomy and has a lot of give in it so you are able to fit more in this bags than it would seem. I have been pleasently suprised.
On the outside, but at the top, you will find two zippered pockets. One is a bit more shallow than the other. These pockets are great for retrieving items that need to be accessed quickly such as pacifiers and tylenol. It is also good for personal items such as keys that you would not want to get lost. There is a pocket with velcro closure on the bag that stores your waterproof changing pad (included).
All of the straps on this bag are adjustable. The bag can be worn messenger style due to the long length of the strap. The stroller strap is also adjustable so that it will hang at any great length for you!
The demensions of the bag are 13Wx14Hx3depth.
The bag comes in all kids of fun colors. You can get anything from the standard black, red, navy, and gray, to pink, sky blue, blue and green camo, and other colors that are not everyday diaper bag colors. You can get this bag in Canvas as well as in corduroy.
I have washed my bag several times. All I did was throw it in the washer on cold, delicate cycle. Once it was complete, I took it out and let it air dry. . .I have never had a problem!
Anyone would be glad to sport this bag, even dad!!
