 The perfect non-diaper-bag diaper bag |

This may be the best bag I've ever owned. I recently traveled by plane and found it was large enough to accommodate my 13" laptop, seven extra diapers + wipes (never know how long you're going to be stuck in the airport), two books (one for me, one for my husband), and various other items, all without making the bag bulky (though yes, it was heavy, as you can imagine). Yet, the bag is somehow compact enough that I can use it around town *without* all of those items, and it doesn't look like I'm carrying a giant empty bag around. Should your child decide he wants *you* to hold his beloved stuffed sheep, it'll fit easily inside. For any moms and dads out there returning to school, you can fit a textbook (two if they're slim), notebooks, folders, etc. inside and not worry that it looks like you're using a diaper bag. (FYI, when my laptop is inside, I find my bulky textbook too big to also fit, so I just carry it.)
Perhaps my favorite feature are the two front pockets, miraculously large enough to easily slip a sippy cup in and out of (but, when empty, look just as they do in the picture), thus keeping it upright and spill-free. I also love the two zippered pockets at the top of the bag (I keep my wallet in one of them). I don't use my stroller much anymore (my son is 2 1/2), but I do use the stroller clips on the cart handle at the grocery store. I *love* not having to carry my bag around and having easy access to sippy cups, snacks, etc. that my son may want. |
Finally, the perfect diaper bag!

| My husband will tell you I am a diaper bag slut - I have tried many and refused to commit to any ... until now. The Skip Hop Duo Deluxe Uptown is everything I have been looking for in a diaper bag. It is stylish AND convenient. I have an infant and a toddler, and there's room for both their stuff. The water bottle net on the side is perfect for mommy's drink but it can also adjust to fit a sippy cup, the mobile phone pocket is big enough for my smartphone, the changing pad is long enough for my toddler - I could go on and on. All the things that frustrated me in other bags are addressed with this one, and the fact that it snaps right onto the stroller made it perfect because my infant seat makes accessing the basket under the stroller impossible. So settle down for a long-term relationship with this diaper bag; this is THE BAG to own especially if you have two!! |
At last a diaper bag I don't regret purchasing...

With a two year old and another baby on the way, I searched for a diaper bag that would work for both children and not look cheesy. I've bought several bags over the past few years from various manufacturers and this is by far the best. The Skip Hop Duo delivers on style, comfort, accessibility, and function.
It got its first test this weekend at the Saint Louis Zoo. The stroller clips really do work and keep the bag securly attached to the stroller. Not once did I have to detach it to get something in a pocket, everything was perfectly organized with the multiple pockets. Another bonus? All the pockets have super powerful magnets (or zippers) that hold closed despite how much you shove in the bag, so no one can look down and see whats in your bag.
I was asked multiple times "What type of bag is that?" and "Where did you get it?" Of course, this is a great affirmation.
The only negative was the strange smell I noticed when the bag first arrived. It could've been my pregnant nose, but it had a strange chemical odor. I ended up leaving it on the back porch overnight and the smell was gone. |
Excellent stylish diaper bag!

With all the expensive trendy embroidery diaper bags out there, this one is much better and worth the price.
I chose this over the embroidery ones because these can be cleaned with good old soap and water. The others need to be dry cleaned!
* The Duo Deluxe has many pockets which are ideal for someone who likes to put various things in different places.
* The Shoulder strap and padded section is just right, even for shorter people
* The uptown stripe (that I have) is great because of the many colors, and I don't feel like I clash with my clothes or stroller (red).
* The stroller clips, is what sold me on this bag, and I am EVER so thankful for them. You can buy separate clips for most other diaper bags, but those cost half the total cost of this bag.
* It has turned into my purse, since I don't need to carry a separate purse with this bag.
* It is deep which is nice for us cloth diaper users.
* It sits upright when placed on the floor and has never toppled over even when I cram everything in.
It could be a little bit wider at the base, but then it would be bulkier, so all in all it's perfect!
GREAT PRICE! |
Love It!

I'm not a bag fanatic; I'm just a busy first time Mom who wanted something that would work well. I couldn't be happier with this diaper bag. It's almost perfect and I absolutely love it.
The main compartment is almost magical. It's large and deep, holds a ton, yet I somehow seem to be able to reach into the bag and instantly find what I need. I routinely keep a blanket, extra outfit, burp cloth, my wallet, and several toys in it comfortably. There are two pockets inside the bag, one for diapers and the other for wipes. Now that my son is older I only keep 5-7 diapers in there but when he was younger I kept about 10 in the bag with no problem. The bag is a perfect size for outings with a young child. On the outside there is a bottle holder for either a water bottle for nursing Mom or a milk bottle for baby on one side and a cell phone pocket on the other side. Two pockets on the front hold small items like keys or small toys. The bag is comfortable to carry over my shoulder and when it's on my shoulder it stays put so I don't have to fuss with the bag while I'm tending to my son. More often, though, the bag is on my stroller where it fits perfectly. The bag also stands up easily on its own so I can easily get to what I need while I'm holding my baby.
Before I bought the bag I was concerned about the closures on the pockets. I actually really like them. The closures are strong magnets that stay closed when you want them to stay closed but more importantly they don't make it too difficult to quickly reach in when you need something like a burp cloth quickly. The closure combined with how deep the bag is means that I've never had a problem with items spilling out of the bag if it gets knocked over. Also, the bag is very durable and holds up well. I've been using the bag constantly for the last 9+ months and the bag still looks like new. I also bought the Skip Hop Pacifier Pocket - Black to use with the bag and I think it's a nice addition.
There are two negatives I have about the bag. First, it doesn't come with a wipes case, but those are easy to find and buy. Second, the changing pad is a little small but I've been using it for months without problem.
I highly recommend this bag.
