Man I have escaped the diaper bag rage...until today...

[NEVE and TRISTAN]

Sorry gals but I haven't really been much into diaper bags, I have the one step ahead back pack that stays in my truck...and I have seen you all mention bags that I have never even seen, or knew what they looked like.

so today I was at our local boutique and they had a gorgeous bag!!!!!!! I asked what it was and looked at the tag and it is the Marsupial (????)...WHEW!!!!! tres nice!!!!!

Do I need a another bag now that T is 14 months old...
I didn't even look at the price, and don't know if it would work for CDs but it sure was nice!!!!

You met one of my favorite bags, the Loom Marsupial (www.loomlife.com)! It really is a gorgeous bag! If you want to try to find it online, check out:

There are also tons of reviews on this board, if you want to do a little research!

i didn't care about diaper bags until lauren turned one. then i found i NEEDED one. until then, i kept the diaper bag in the car.

now i need it because i carry everything - sunscreen, hat, bib (we eat out a fair bit), diapers/wipes/etc., sunglasses for lauren and for me, sweater, snacks, little toys, and a few other things.

i couldn't live without it, and i LOVE my marsupial. i have one in red and am thinking about buying another someday. but i also have the watermelon clutch and love it. i keep my cards, money, etc. in it, and often just put that on my wrist when going into stores.

i love it. the marsupial is the best. i honestly don't know what i'd do without it.

i got it pretty recently. i planned a co-op with diaperbags.com. if you can plan another co-op with someone else, great. i'm sure lots of people would want to participate again.

the plan they did was $120 for the loom AND a clutch...or $115 for just a loom. i got both.

I think there would be quite a few takers for a new Loom co-op, especially with their new bag, the Bandicoot, being released at the end of this month!

We can always see if diaperbags.com would like to do it again. I think missfitzinc.com may also be receptive.

The last co-op with diaperbags.com included several other brands as well. Very fun!

Please keep us posted about the possibility of a Loom co-op. You all know I have been jonesing for one of these! I'm starting to become bag obsessed (just add it to the stroller obesession).

Well Neve, they're not just 'diaper bags,' their Parent bags! Like, when your family grows, even if the children are older, you'll still want toys/snacks/water/books/paper/crayons maybe a change of clothes, camera, etc etc. Think of it as an investment in your family's future. LOL!

There's always room for one more!

That's a wonderful sales pitch! Maybe I can use that to talk hubby into the Loom Bandicoot...

*sigh*

Count me in for the coop too.

DH is going to KILL me.

(But at least they can bury me with a kick @$$ diaper bag!)

My youngest DD is 3 and I still use a toddler bag but a small one. The petunia picklebottom toddler tote. Of course DD#3 is coming this fall so I will probably go back to the messenger style. Got a beautiful Bumble bag in a pucci print. Messenger and backpack, great pockets from babyoliver.com.

Congratulations Chrissy! We welcomed #4 last November and I must say that I highly recommend it!

Here's hoping that you have an easy pregnancy.

I would definitely participate in a Loom co-op. In fact, I was thinking about emailing babyoliverboutique.com to see if they would be interested, but I don't want to start that ball rolling if someone else is already working on this. Let me know!

[lmariana]

Oooh, I love their site! So many great bag choices...
