More Skip Hop Questions

[almostamom]

I'd like to get a Skip Hop based on the wonderful reviews here, but I have a few questions.

-- Best place to order from?

-- Canvas vs. corduroy (I haven't seen either in person) is one easier to clean?

-- Red seems to be pretty popular and I really like it, but I like the "storm" color too. Does anyone have that? Is it more of a light blue or a gray blue?

TIA for the help! :)

I ordered mine from http://www.kiwi-kid.com & they were great!
I was originally going to order from http://www.kidsnstyle.com , but she was out of the color I wanted at the time.
I can tell you that the woman who runs kidsnstyle (I am blanking out on her name right now) was WONDERFUL to deal with..and when I am ready to get another one :-), I will probably order from her.
You can also order from http://www.target.com and return it to the store if you decide you don't like it.
I got the canvas one in black.
I haven't seen the cord ones IRL. I think they look cool, but I am afraid it would be a lint magnet, plus I have a cat & I am afraid it will be covered with her fur.
Here is a post someone else did with pics of the storm bag (I think it looks gray):

I think the storm color looks really nice & was tempted to get it to go with my Black Sable P3...but I did my usual boring thing & got black.
HTH :-)

Thanks for the help! Good point with the corduroy as a lint magnet (and I'm sure dog hair magnet as well!) The storm color does look more gray in the picture from the post -- I think I'll go with the red. I appreciate your advice!

Thanks again,
