2 Red Hens Rooster style review & pics

[writeleigh]

Well, I was about to take part in the 2 Red Hens co-op, but my mother knew I was really interested in this bag and got it for me as a gift. It arrived today and I was soooo excited, because I've lusted after this brand for a little while :D She ordered it from sethbaby.com and said customer service was EXCELLENT.

This is the Rooster size/style, so it is 13W x 14 H x 3 3/4 D. It is in the Lipstick pattern/fabric combo. This downsizes a bit from my large diaper bag, which I've been looking to do since Liam is about one and I don't use as much stuff.

I used it this weekend a few times when we went out and do like it. It has one interior pocket, and three outter pockets. I use various sized cosmetic bags to organize my daiper bag contents into categories anyway, so this works fine for me. This one did not come with a changing pad (though some do- I know the ones in the co-op have that option). It was not difficult to reach items in the bag, and I do like having less to carry. I also like the button-loop closure and the open top it makes for very quick access to items in the bag.

Not knowing my mother had gotten this, I already ordered a WW bag a week or so ago, so when that arrives, I'm curious to compare the two. I know the WW has lots of interior pockets, so I'm curious how it compares.

I stick one bottle in the long outter pocket.

This is the cosmetic bag where I keep 2-3 diapers, Huggies disposable changing pad, small ziplock of wipes, and Hefty Handy Sacks (plastic trash bags).

This is a very small cosmetic bag with anti-bac wipes, Purell, Tylenol, etc.

This is my wallet-purse, which I like because I can quickly extract it from the bag and have all my stuff.

Bag with all my stuff in it. There's still room for a few extra things like snacks and a light jacket for DS.

It wasn't offered in the coop--I guess they ran out of fabric--but alas, I can't participate now since I just bought another bag! Gorgeous bag--enjoy it!!!!

Thank you! Yes, I think they no longer make it in this fabric. My mother said the store had only two left in this print. I love the bag :) I'm not sure which fabric I would have gotten in the co-op - there were a few I was considering. Do you like the bag you just bought?

Thanks for posting this! I've already ordered a hen and have been debating about ordering an additional larger bag. I usually use smaller bags, but would like something a little larger to take on plane trips with my 14 month old. How much exactly did you carry in this bag (i.e. diapers, wipes, extra outfit, etc.). They are soooooo cute!

What a cute bag! I'm still on the fence re: getting a bag in the co-op, but they're such fun bags, it's hard to resist!

Also, I love your idea of putting all your diaper items in a cosmetic bag! I never thought of doing that, but it sure would make it easier to keep everything together in my totes (WW, Ella). And you can just grab the little case and have everything right at your fingertips! Great idea!

Enjoy your bag!

Hi, Melissa. Let's see. In this bag, I put:
1. cosmetic bag which fits 1-3 diapers; disposable changing pad, baggie with wipes (though you could probably fit a hard, travel case of wipes as well), plastic trash bags.
2. small cosmetic bag with infant Tylenol, anti-bac wipes, etc.
3. My wallet-purse.
There would be room for an emergency outfit depending on how large the outfit is. I think you could fit a onesie or romper type outfit easily, but if were a heavier outfit with more pieces that would be a much tighter fit. HTH :)

I bought a Choc. Cord Mothership that someone in the coop bought but ended up not liking for the size--I **LOVE** it--it looks like a huge piece of Hershey! LOL! Great looking bag!

Very pretty! Your mom is super sweet, what a thoughtful gift. :-)

Thank you all for the good wishes and compliments. Yes, I think my mother was probably sick of hearing me talk about the bag and just got it to shut me up :D
