This thing is pretty darn awesome:) |

Day Care Diaper Bag & Infant Restraint Reviews
I got mine today the bag looks awesome, I had a few parents say they want it.how do I get more for parents that are interested, the question paper asked if interested in getting more but doesn't say how to.

I got it just now... it is so great! I will be using this for our outings. I have one dck, sometimes 2 (theyre siblings), with my own 2 sons. We go out to parks, museums, and beach. This will be great for that.
|
I am very impressed! Its really well thought out.
I like the neutral colors used too but personally, I think it would have been kind of nice to have different colored labels (accents, tags or zippers or something) on each inside bag/piece so that the one needed is immediately recognized. I had to keep pulling each one out and reading the label to make sure I had the one I wanted. But that was just today, maybe you just get better at using it the more you use it. :) |
I got mine today.

Originally Posted by Blackcat31: With that being said, I agree with the bold above. Right now everything kind of blends in together. I plan on using this diaper bag for DD's belongings when she sleeps over at my in-laws or her and I travel. Currently, during sleepovers or travel, DD uses a suitcase and I put a days worth of clothing and hair accessories in a gallon size baggie. That way she can pull it out and get dressed independently. It also helps me with organization when packing. I do like that I can use the different smaller pouches for this and it seems little more eco friendly vs using gallon baggies. My MIL also places DD's dirty clothes in a plastic grocery bag, so having the laundry bag included in the diaper bag is a huge plus. For my mother in law I could immediately tell that the same colored bags would be difficult to look through, so I plan on putting different colored sticky notes on the outside labeled with the contents. IE: Pjs, clothes day 1, clothes day 2, etc. I LOVE having an insulated food pouch and bottle pouch. DD and I travel a good amount (small weekend trips) Because of allergies this means I pack her food and drinks for the car and will buy more at the grocery when we arrive at our destination. Usually she has two insulated food bags. One for lunch and snacks and one for drinks. Having the insulted bags included in this diaper bag means I have ONE bag to carry and keep track of, not three. That's a big plus in my book :) If I could make a couple of recommendations: Make the interior liner of the bag and the smaller pouches different colors. For example, make the interior liner dark purple and the smaller pouches the white/grey pattern. I would also make the smaller pouches with a plastic window where parents can write the contents on card stock, paper, etc and slip it in the window. This might make finding the correct bag faster and easier. The labels right now are great for infant use, but I can see this bag lasting families past the infant years. Having the opportunity to label your own pouches will encourage longevity with this bag. |
Nice critique BalckCat
|
Still looking for mine, but all of these positive reviews have me excited!
|
I received mine. It is great!
|
How was it shipped?
I might be stalking the delivery vans in my neighborhood. Lol |

I got mine yesterday and packed it up. We took it to the park with us today. It is big enough to carry everything we could ever need for an outing but not extremely bulky. I am very impressed.
Will be taking it to the beach next week and I'm pretty sure it will replace the 3+ bags we took with us last week. I do agree with bc about some minor changes to make finding individual bags a bit easier. I won't be bringing a bag of bibs so the labels aren't really useful. I packed a smaller bag for each child and wrote their name on the tag. Diapers, wipes, spare clothes, sunscreen and a hat all fit in the smaller bag. Overall I am thrilled. |
Sounds like they have some great items. I bet that backpack would have been cool.
If anyone has not received their items by Friday, let me know. I'm sure we can track it is UPS is handling the delivery. |
I am loving it! I can bring everything we need out back, it's all sorted and organized, no digging around in a catch-all bag to look for wipes or kleenex, bandaids, everything in its place and a place for every single thing you could think of.
Someone mentioned the neutral colors; love that it's not all babyish covered. :) But I do agree with a different labeling system. |
I also love that it doesn't really look like a baby bag. We used it today to go the the museum. I do wish the bottle holder would hold a couple more bottles. We used it for water bottles and they were slightly frozen and still had some ice at lunch which was nice. I love the laundry bags. I would use these with this bag if staying at a hotel. The little plastic bags they give never hold all of our laundry! These are great for that. I am not sure what I would use the other bags for at this point, but they are easily removed if you don't need them. Now if DD was going to travel she may use them to split up different days of clothing, she is funny like that! She does it to make sure she has an outfit for each day. So far after using it once, we really liked it.

I still haven't received anything in the mail. Getting impatient ready all these reviews. I'm excited to try it out if it ever arrives.

I think it's a fantastic diaper bag. I wish I had one similar when I was lugging everything back and forth to daycare for 3 little girls. I used a duffle bag that nothing stayed organized in.
I would love to see a backpack version of this. |
I found my first problem with it... Can't throw it in the wash ;) now, I doubt I could throw any other diaper bag in the wash either. But, just saying, it would be nice! :) -calcare

If they ever need anyone else to review items can you add me to the list?

I loved the packaging. Item seems well made. Very sturdy seams and closure Velcro. It was a bit roomy for the two infants I have. Both are around 9-11 pounds. I also tried it for size on a neighbors 16 pounder. It fit him well. But every baby is built differently so that's something to take into account. The neighbor and I both thought a one piece design would be better. Less pieces and less chance of someone assembling incorrectly. I wonder what the price point for the item would be? I did email back a scan of the form today, as mentioned in the paperwork. I enjoyed this and will use it when needed. I hope to be included in other reviews too. |
I'm confused. Are you saying you put the baby in the bag? Lol what

We took the bag to the water park today instead of taking multiple bags it was awsome it held everything.towels,extra clothes sunblock,snacks,food,my soda cans .The bottle bag worked really good it held lots of frozen water bottles and they stayed frozen it was very hot today 110 .we were at the water park for 6 hours they were still half frozen when we got back.I really love this bag an wish I got it long time ago. I think every one with kids should own this bag light weight great size. One thing I would change is the labels those are perfect for babies but would be nice to write your own labels.maby different colored labels also to be easy to find things.

I was so excited because I finally received my package today but...they sent me the wrong item :(
I received the infant positioner which isn't legal for me to use and my own child is too big for it. Super bummed. I've been patiently waiting for the diaper bag. |
I still haven't received anything.
Is it possible it got lost in the mail? :( |
