JJ Cole Collections Swag Diaper Bag, Silver Drop

Comment: 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.

Comment: 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.
