JJ Cole System Bag - Green/Blue

I've been using this diaper bag since my son was born almost six months ago and am very disappointed in it. In fact, I'm on Amazon tonight shopping around for a new bag.

Here are my problems with this bag:

- The main pocket is large, but isn't very easy to get open (especially with one hand). The pocket doesn't open up completely making it difficult to get at the things that are inside.

- The stroller attachment straps are a joke! They broke the very first time I used them... within a half hour! The bag wasn't even very full. It had a receiving blanket, a bottle, a couple of diapers and a small packet of wipes. The straps are a cheap rubber and seem like they'd be a good concept, but the rubber tore just like a big rubber band would which made the straps completely useless... garbage!

- I thought that the padded shoulder would be nice and it was for a while... until the black part of the pad (the part that sits on your shoulder)...Read more

I don't review items often unless I LOVE the product or HATE the product. Unfortunately, this one falls in the latter category.

The things I like about the bag are more or less cosmetic and slightly less functional:
1) I like the color. Easy to find. I don't care if it's easy to clean or not--it's a diaper bag for goodness sake!
2) I really like the changing pad. Personally, I feel it is superior to a lot of changing pads I've seen that come with other diaper bags. It's super easy to fold and unfold with one hand.
3) The pockets in the main compartment are huge which is really nice.

That's really all I can find at this point that I like.

Things I don't like:
1) The main pocket is kind of hard to find. I know it sounds stupid, but there are so any zippers and pockets, that it takes you awhile to figure out which one is the "main" pocket. Plus, it's not in the most logical place which would be the top of the...Read more

I have owned this bag for two years now. After the first year, the fabric along the top of the zipper began to pull away from the zipper. I will readily admit to being an overstuffer though! I contacted customer service, and they offered to replace the bag. However, I didn't want to mail mine back and wait, and we kept playing phone tag to finish the details. I decided to give up and continue to use the bag. Well, now I am getting ready to go on a trip, and decided to look for a new diaper bag. The entire seam is ripped out along the top, but the functionality of the bag is just fine. So, a little ugly, but workable. I couldn't find a bag that I loved, considered the Skip Hop and even a second hand PPB. I decided to contact JJ Cole again, to see if I am still eligible for a replacement, or at least to order a new bag without the accessories for a discount. Well, they are replacing the entire bag! She said that I am on the borderline of being eligible (I am assuming that...Read more
