timi & leslie Mod Convertible Baby Bag - Bronze

 (2 customer reviews)

I loved this bag when I first saw it. It has several useful pockets, two big, zip-up sections, and it didn't look like like a diaper bag. I am 5'3 and 105 lbs, and the bag was definitely oversized for me. I decided I still liked it, though, because of all the useful features, such as a waterproof pouch for soiled clothes, a removable wristlet for mom's personal stuff, a tiny zip-up case for pacifiers, etc. Unfortunately, I took this with me for a 3-day trip to Disneyland this summer, and it didn't survive past the first day. The bag ripped in at least two places when I was putting back the baby's sweatshirt. For a bag that normally retails over $300, I expect it to be able to withstand a little bit more rough handling than that. I returned it, and Amazon processed my refund quickly.

With the price tag it has, you'd expect to get a bag that would last through breastfeeding at the least! I found this adorable bag and purchased it while pregnant with my first baby. I used it as a handbag to get used to it...and I was so excited about it! Within 1 month of occasional light use, the crappy "leather-look" material ripped! And the main zippers got stuck. I'm a young professional and I take care of my things. It's not like I was hard on the bag. For the quality I wouldn't pay $30, let alone what I did pay. Returned it and got my money back. Now I'm back searching for a diaper bag that is cute (ie: doesn't look like a diaper bag), functional and will last longer than a few months!

The 2 stars are because it's cute and roomy. Unless you'd like to replace it within a few months or carry around a bag that is falling apart, I'd suggest you avoid Timi & Leslie faux leather bags. Unless the bag is genuine leather, I would stay away!
