Lands End New Little Tripper or SkipHop bag...

[MamaKath]

For smaller amounts of stuff and out shopping which is better? I have the JL Childress Stroller bag for on the stroller (in both blue and black, lol) as well as numerous diaper bags and totes. I have started using a plain backpack for big outings, my Ameribag Healthy Back Baby Bag for everyday (it is bigger than I would like for quick stuff, but have not found a bag that even comes close to comparing) but am realizing, I still really just need a "quickie" bag with enough room for 2 kids sippies, a couple diapers, wipes, and my stuff. These both seem to fit the bill. Obviously the Skiphop is much more, but with a possible co-op, I might go for it. I was thinking the SkipHop is cool since it has the cupholder (none of my strollers have one) on the side. Is it worth it? Anyone have both, that can compare? Maybe even take photos? With the stuff above mentioned even, lol?

And what color on either? I have mostly navy strollers, and wear tons of denim (you know the SAHM dress code). Think LE's in Navy, Red, or Light Blue; Skiphop in Navy, Charcoal, Red, Olive or Camo (what am I thinking??? But it looks cute for my boy's stuff).

I don't have either, but after reading your post I had to go find this skiphop and check it out (why I need to stay off this board because I'll have one of each) and I found these websites with photos of the skiphop with stuff inside:

If you have already seen these photos, I'm sorry!
After reading my dress code in your post, I just had to try to help.

Thanks Ida! Lol, I am wondering if my dress code is worthy of the SkipHop! It is definitely not worthy of some of the sharp bags in the other coop, though I LOVE that OiOi backpack, so cute!!! ;-)

I saw those photos, I figured if anyone had both and could show the same stuff in each, it would help to understand the size and realistic usage. I am so tired of trying bags and then hating them, lol. I need to sell a bunch off, and have my couple that are usable. I don't change for the season for the most part (with the exception of my orange LE bag- perfect for summer and fall, was awful for Christmas, and clashed with my new red winter coat; it doesn't match anything I own though, but isn't to bad with jeans and a navy t-shirt).

I have seen the Little Tripper IRL...it is very tiny. Nice and great for one/two diapers, one bottle etc. but it is very small. I *think* the SkipHop is bigger which may be better for 2 kids.

[MamaKath]

Do you mean the new LE or the older one? I have seen the old one and new one, and the new one seems so much bigger. (They are both kind of small though, lol.) The measurements on the new one works out larger than the SkipHop (I haven't seen this one either, so I am working off the online measurements ;-))? I guess it doesn't have to be too big, my kids are 2 and 4, so only need room for about 2 diapers and 2 sippies, and my stuff. :-)

We all know I've got four little people, and I carry comfortably for all of them in the Little Tripper, the newest one. Diapers, wipes, two sippies (in the outside pockets), snacks, crayons, coloring pages, a hotsling, and multiple other teeny things all fit in there nicely, and I love how it hangs from my stroller.

I really, really thought about getting a Skiphop, but I'm truly happy with my LT, so no Skiphop for me. ;-)

[egoldber]

Ah thank you! You convinced to just get the LT and save myself some $$! :) What color do you have?

[MamaKath]

I'm convinced! What color to get? Going with the LE bag too.

Thank you Calmegja for the info on what it holds.

I've got the black one, and it's pretty darn sharp. The front pocket is a slightly lighter shade of grey. It looks purty ;-) hanging from my strollers, and I've been known to use it as a purse, as well.... ;-)

I like the red one, as well. My neighbor has that one, and it's a great, clear red....
