Product Description
Function never looked so sleek!

There?s also a special AgION antimicrobial pocket to help keep germs away from your clean things. The Via Messenger includes the new Shuttle Clips; a unique strap and fastening system that allows the Via to attach neatly and conveniently to the handlebars of any stroller and then convert into a cool, hip messenger-style diaper bag.

Summary: LOVE IT! 2010-03-06
Comment: I cannot say enough good things about this bag! I love, love, love it! I have gone through at least 3 other diaper bags and have been frustrated with all of them. This bag has a pocket for everything (no more digging!). One of the pockets is antimicrobial. Pockets for 4 sippys or bottles. Hands down my favorite feature is the messenger style. It allows me to throw it across my chest and worry about carrying the baby not keeping the diaper bag on my shoulder. A little pricey but definitely worth it!

Summary: Good concept, bad execution 2010-01-21
Comment: This diaper bag is not really spacious inside the main compartment. It is really not worth the money!
There are a lot of pockets all around but doesn't fit anything inside the main compartment once the zippers outside are full of little items! Because of the material, the bag doesn't stretch. For an infant, I have to carry at least 4-5 diapers, wipes, a change of clothes, 2 feeding bottles and a small thermos flask. Even the side mesh pockets don't stretch to accommodate the feeding bottles. Most other diaper bags allow at least this much space.
It is not worth the money. I am so disappointed. I was excited by the prospect of the stroller clips and the number of compartments. I give it two stars because of the look and it is slim.. but useless.

Summary: Smart looking but space is an issue 2010-01-07
Comment: We bought this bag because it looks smart, and it's one that both my wife and I can use when we are out with our baby. Here's what we've found:
Pros:
- Looks great
- Durable
- Many pockets to put things away
- The diaper changing pad is very useful when outside
Cons:
- Space is a premium. While there is quite a bit of pocket space, I think it doesn't stretch much, or perhaps we're trying to fill it with a lot

Summary: Wears out in 3 months 2009-11-30
Comment: The diaper bag from our daughter is 3 years old and still in good shape. We had no idea how lucky we were with that bag. With our second, we thought we'd like a bigger bag and liked the messenger style so we splurged on this one. It is decent looking and carries stuff and all. We are just annoyed with the fact that it already looks worn out and our son is only 13 weeks old! The edges are fraying and the color (green) is turning chalky. I honestly don't think it will hold up until his first birthday. It is very disappointing.

Summary: Got fooled 2009-08-20
Comment: I went by the good reviews for this bag and boy did I pay for that. This bag is way too expensive for it's small size. I was sold by the 18 pockets and versatility of this bag... or at least what it was supposed to have. I wish I could return it but accidentally threw out the packing slip and have already used it. First, the bag is way smaller than it looks. There are 18 pockets but you cannot use all of them if you wanted to. Some are so small you can only add in tissue packets. There are 2 decently sized pockets inside but that's about it. Also, the magnetic closures don't work unless you have the bare minimum inside, so watch out for falling items. The changing pad is flimsy and small. I have a 20 inch long newborn and she just about fits. I've had to put my jacket on the floor as an extension. PLus, it barely fits back into the pocket if you have other things in the bag. The clips that attach to the stroller is nice, but a pain to attach if the bag is heavy...by the way, other diaper bags without this feature hang well over the stroller anyway. I am currently looking for anoher diaper bag...preferably one that doesn't let my wallet and bottles spill out.
