So I do not find this diaper bag to be as useful as I was hoping. I have a three month old so I need a lot of things. This diaper bag is big which is great, but I find that when you fill the pockets with diapers, wipes, bottles, formula then the middle of the bag is basically no longer usable. The other thing that I find kind of annoying is that the bottom of the bag might work great if you are using the snack thing that comes with the bag but it is kind of heavy. I tried putting a blanket on the bottom to keep the bag from tipping over but then that takes up more space in on the inside of the bag. Also it has a lot of pockets on the outside of the bag but I did not find them to work that great. So overall I was hoping this bag would be better than it is. Maybe when my daughter is a little older and does not need some much stuff it will be better. I have the Coach diaper bag now, and I absolutley love as it is so much more functional.

Very cute, not so functional. I tried every diaper bag out there, and this one seemed great but failed for 3 reasons. One is that unless you have the bottom zippered compartment full, the bag does not stand up/stay upright or open when you are trying to fill it/take stuff out. Two, once you put stuff in the side compartments of the inside of the bag, there is no more space. And three, even lightly loaded, this bag tips the stroller when attached to the handles (we have a Bumbleride stroller). Oh, and a fourth - it's a heavy bag and the strap hurts your shoulder. We added a pad to it, which worked fine.

I bought this bag for my first airplane trip with my 1 year old. I love it! It has become my favorite bag. The bag was large enough to accommodate all travel essentials and the insulated pockets kept bottles cool throughout the day. The stroller attachments are easy to use and the two different sets of straps allow you to carry the bag purse or messenger style. The main compartment has plenty of mesh pockets to keep everything organized and easy to find. The side pockets are awesome to keep
wallets, cell phones, and keys at hand. The food compartment at the bottom is great for keeping food isolated from other essentials. The only downfall, if the food container isn't centered just right, the bag will tip over.

This was a gift to my daughter and her husband. I wanted a bag appropriate for a mom or dad to carry. This bag has room for everything, but does not get too wide because of its height. It is comfortable to carry cross body. Many compartments inside, a big pocket on the outside that is easy to access, insulated pockets on the ends. I ordered three
bags and this was their favorite.

I love Skip Hop
diaper bags! I really like this one because it's big! It's great for packing for a long day trip, childcare or an overnight. My husband doesn't think it looks girly with the messenger strap, and I can use the two shoulder straps for my comfort. The only downside is when the bottom pocket is empty and I have a heavy load in the big pocket, it stands up a little funny. It's still a great bag, and I plan on recommending it to other mommy friends.

I really like this diaper bag. We got it to use as a secondary diaper bag to take to daycare. I absolutely love the pockets on the interior. They really help to organize extra outfits, bibs and burp cloths, wipes, a blanket, and we still have room for six cloth diapers which is something that most
bags just would not accommodate. Since our little guy is only four months old, we use the bottom pouch for bottles. It easily can fit five five ounce bottles. It is nice because the care givers can quickly access his bottles. The back pouch is where the changing pad was, since it is used for daycare, we removed the pad and that is where we put a few toys and books for him to use at the sitters. The side pouches are awesome. I easily can fit a wet bag and in the other one I put a spare 10 ounce bottle and a few pouches of formula should he have an extra-hungry day or if his dad or I need to run an errand on the way
home from picking him up. There are however a couple of negatives. I mostly use it as a cross-body since my hands are always full. I wish that the shoulder handles could somehow stow away. I manage to get them snagged on doorknobs or the railing on my deck in the morning. I also wish that there was just a little more capacity in the main pocket. Once you fill all of the pouches with the extras and then add diapers, it is not really possible to zip the main section closed. Ours almost always ends up open, but we end up easily loosing items - so far it has only been in our driveway, but this could be a problem.

We really like the look and style of this bag, but it doesn't hold as much as you would think given its size.

I love this bag even though I have had to replace it twice. Once for a button that popped off and the second time because the stitching on one of the side pockets unraveled. I would still recommend it because of the big size, good amount of pockets, versatile straps and especially the bottom food compartment. I love the color, too.

I am pleased with the Bento Ultimate Diaper Bag. It is spacious with various compartments for toting my baby's essential needs (as well as mine). For safety precautions, I do not carry my handbag/purse. Instead, I use my diaper bag to carry my wallet & various contents from my purse. There's only one downside to the [olive-colored] bag; I was caught out with my children doing grocery shopping and it stormed hail-rain (I was soaked as if I'd taken a shower with my clothes on). Well, I had to stop at another store prior to going
home & my diaper bag has a big watermark stain on it due to getting wet from pressing up against my wet
clothing. I was really annoyed by that because I was thinking the bag should have been resilient to liquid & stains. Also, the pocket that stores the bottles (even with an ice pack in place) does not keep the bottles cool longer than an hour. Therefore, I use the bottle holder provided to me by the hospital. All-in-all, I am satisfied with my diaper bag. It offers an unique look from other moms & yes, if I had to make this purchase again (knowing what I know) I would definitely do so. The bag is very strong & sturdy and it is not heavy to carry.
