Sprout Shell Chic Infant Carrier Covers

I’m excited to share about one of my favorite diaper bags. The Skip Hop. When I was in that all-important search the first time I researched like crazy! I wanted to be stylish, but I am also quite frugal, and couldn’t stand spending a lot of money on something that would likely get hammered. I figured the Skip Hop Duo was a great idea. My cousin had it; loved it. It was cute, not really girly so hubby wouldn’t balk at using it and had LOTS of pockets.
So I got it…well, the Spark version that look exactly the same, but is pretty cheap at Target.
Then I had the baby.

My wonderful mother bought me one of the “super cool and chic” Petunia Picklebottom bags and it’s ok. But, the strap is fixed in place and too long for me (I’m quite short). I also felt the silky material was too nice to take anywhere that might get dirty.
Then I tried the Queen Bee bag from The Bumble Collection. Again, I got a deal, but I HATED it! The zippers were not smooth. It smelled like cheap leather for as long as I owned it–a couple of months–the diaper area was inconvenient, and it fell over unless it was full. I actually sold it because I couldn’t stand it anymore.
Luckily, through all this I also had my Skip Hop. It was functional, practical and worked great!
It’s made of canvas, making it great to take to the park or beach or wherever without worry that it will get dirty. The fabric is also sturdy and doesn’t yet show any signs of wear. I love that it’s light as well. It can be stuffed and it’s still not too heavy. I have another bag that is fashionable, “cool” and retails for four times this price (I paid wholesale) and I love it, but it’s a lot heavier even when it’s empty.

There is a pocket in the back to hold diapers/wipes and the included changing pad. It also works great if I have some papers to take somewhere because they’ll stand straight, where in other bags there’s nowhere for them to go. Plus I feel like I have plenty of pockets and room for my other necessities.

There are 3 different lengths of straps. One is pretty long so you can carry it like a messenger bag, shorter straps to just carry and clasps on the side to hook it to the handles of the stroller without it hanging down.

They now have a Deluxe version, and there are several color options to suit a variety of tastes.

I don’t use it every day…but often wonder why. Especially now that it’s summer and I feel like I’m outside all the time. Maybe I will.
