JJ Cole Collections Swag Diaper Bag, Silver Drop

I had more expensive/ designer baby bags in mind when I happened across this one... Petunia, Mia Bossi, StorkSak, and so on. But this one looks so good on, and the colors and design are surprisingly versatile. It goes with white, black, brown, all colors. I also appreciate the practical aspects of the bag. It has insulated pockets for bottles on the outside, plus a back pocket dedicated to the changing mat and a couple extra diapers. The front has four pockets for your wallet, keys, cell phone, pacifiers. And the interior is a light color with four more pockets, so it is easy to find everything. It has a clip for your keys and a small personal bag. It comes with stroller clips and a super comfortable shoulder strap that is adjustable and can easily be worn messenger style. Finally, It was important to me to find a bag that was PVC and pthalate free after buying a StorkSak that was not.

PROS: This bag suites me very well - practical and stylish. It comes with a changing pad, stroller hooks, and a zippered pull out wristlet. I can't wait to use it! I'm a first time mom-to-be and this bag seems to be practical but we'll see once I actually start using it. The lower canvas portion of the bag is black and white (on the website it looks navy to me). The silver part is very soft, and the strap is wide and should be comfortable on my shoulder. I plan to use it messenger style as apposed to purse style. (But it's great to have options!)
CONS: The opening at the top could be wider. But, in general the bag is a little stiff, so it may just need some breaking in. Front zippers are chunky and don't open/close smoothly. It's not so clear that the front pockets will be of much use once the inside bag is full. Quality is good, not great for the price.

I was sooo hesitant in buying this bag because of the price... i kept adding it to my cart and then deleting it. then finally gave in and bought it and i am SOOO glad that i did!!!! i LOVED it the minute i took it out of the box. it's much bigger than i thought it would be and i love how the strap is so big and used in a purse style or messenger style. the color is more goldenish/silver rather than silver as in the picture. the changing pad is really cute and has a velcro strap to keep it shut. comes with stroller hooks and a little change purse. also has a key clip inside the purse which is sooo handy to have because i'm always losing my keys at the bottom of the bag!! the front has the two zippered pocketes as well as two open slots which is really convenient. the inside has four pockets. the bottom has silver buttons (or whatever they're called) so the bottom of the purse doesn't get dirty! it really doesn't get better than this (or maybe it does but i'm not going to spend over 100...Read more
