JJ Cole Collections Theory Diaper Bag, Green

I just got the green bag and I can't wait to start using it. The green looks exactly as it does on my computer. This bag is so stylish that no one will believe it is a diaper bag.This bag is a standout and I guarantee you'll get compliments. It is also quite large and appears functional with several large pockets inside and two external pockets as well. I can't imagine that I will need more room for all my baby stuff. In fact, I think I'll be ditching my own purse so that I only carry the one bag once the baby arrives.

update. I have now been using the bag for 2 months. It is really too small for anything but a really quick dash to the store. Once I had the baby I realised just how much stuff I have to take with me each time I leave home. This bag doesn't hold half of it. The inside pockets are not contoured enough for bottles so i have to stuff other thing around them to keep them upright and then they fall over anyway. The fact that the bag doesnt close is a big problem...Read more

First of all, I love this bag. I have it in green, and get so many compliments on it! But it does have a few things I'd like to change...

~Because the sides are angled, it's hard to use the bottle holder if your bottles aren't leakproof when covered. Mine are not, so if I put it in the special spot, it leaks all over the bag. I usually just stick it in a pocket near the middle, propped up by diapers or something, and it's okay, but it'd be nice to be able to use the bottle holder.

~It doesn't hold as much as I thought it would. Again, probably due to the angled sides. When it is fairly full, it doesn't stay shut very well. The flap that 'closes' it is only held together by magnet, so if any pressure is put on it, it pops open. If you don't have much to carry around, then it's fine, but if you do, this probably isn't the best bag for the job.

~I wish there was a way to use the stroller straps without detaching them from the bag. I...Read more

Pros - Doesn't look like a diaper bag, Lots of pockets for organization, Big - lots of room, Comes with pacifier holder, matching changing pad included, changing pad is easy to access, changing pad folds and unfolds quickly, seems very sturdy
Con - No top zipper
I love this bag except for the fact that there is no top zipper to keep the main compartment closed. I'm always in a hurry with my toddler and my newborn in tow and many times my bag gets knocked over and things in the center compartment fall out very easily. I have somewhat remedied this by rolling up a receiving blanket and placing it on top of my things and under the snap. It works pretty good at keeping most things in the bag in case of a spill.
