Skip Hop vs. Updated LT

[southern_kali_gurl]

Hi! I am looking for a new diaper bag and have narrowed it down to the Skip Hop and the LT. Here's what I plan on carrying:

3 diapers (size 4)
changing pad
wipes
sippy cup
bib
snacks
burp cloth
wallet, cell phone, and keys

Since I've never seen either IRL will I be able to fit everything? Does anyone have both? Which do you prefer? Please help! TIA!

You can fit those items in either bag. I prefer the LT for carrying on my shoulder (hate, hate carrying the Skip Hop) but love how the Skip Hop attaches to my stroller, and so I just leave it there.

I've had both, and personally, I love the Skip Hop. The LT is a good bag, but I like how versatile the SH is. I'm a die-hard messenger bag girl and find the Skip Hop very comfy. I also like how the Skip Hop doesn't have a large label on it, like the LE bags do. You also have more colors to choose from with Skip Hop. I find the organization in the SH much more user-friendly too. You'd also have a little extra space if you wanted to toss in a blanket or sweater. Okay, I'll stop doting on the SH now!

They're both great bags, so it's really just a matter of personal preference. :)

Thanks so much for the input! I think I've decided to go with the Skip Hop because I like how you can attach it to the stroller and you can wear it messenger style (which is a must for me!).

I'd LOVE to see pictures of the skip hop next to the LT (new version). I just can't decide between those two either! About the time I think I'm sold on one of them, I start looking at the other. I think what I really need is to see them both in person and get a "hands on"!

thanks,
Ellen

I'm interested in a new diaper bag, too. I really like the Skip Hop and was thinking about getting it... But, I'm not familiar with the LT, can someone give me more info...

Thanks!
