Skip Hop question

[ayoja]

I think this looks like a great bag. I like everything I am reading about it, but I have yet to find a picture/diagram of the inside of the bag. Can anyone who owns it describe the inside or point me to a site with a picture?

Thanks.

The main compartment (in the center) is open with a small velcro closure. There are two small pockets at the bottom of this compartment. The open aspect of the center compartment is my only real complaint. I wish it would close better. On either side of the center compartment are zippered pockets. They go the entire side of the bag, but are only maybe 6 inches deep (so that everything isn't at the bottom of the bag). They diapering supplies are kept in an open pocket oalong the back of the bag.

I really like my SkipHop, I just wish the main pocket closed more completely. I guess the new ones do, but I guess they are also larger and I think the SkipHop borders on too large as it is.

Thanks. I didn't want to get one until I knew what the inside would be like. I think it will meet my needs. The size seems really small to me, but I have twins and their bage was HUGE!

I'm still not sure on it. I like that it will fit on my stroller easily as the basket isn't huge. I like that dh won't mind carrying it around. A part of me would still like to get a really pretty bag too.

Hi,

Skip*Hop's web site (http://www.skiphop.com) has an interior picture of
the bag as well as other views. Just click on the FEATURES hyperlink at
the top of the web page.

BTW, Skip*Hop will be debuting their new Expo and Dash diaper bags in
March. You may want to take a look at them before deciding. Here's a
link to a previous post from Mariana: http://tinyurl.com/3on4t or

Good luck,

I can understand the angst! The SkipHop is one of the most expensive bags I own, lol. It took me months to finally buy one and I have been loving it ever since. I got one that I *knew* would be way too sporty, the blue camo, but you know what I enjoy that it is different which seems to compensate for the sporty thing a lot. Even as I use a stroller less and less (I don't even have one in my trunk right now :-() I use the SkipHop. It has enough pockets to hold diapering stuff, mommy stuff (LOVE the exterior cell pocket and bottle holder), while still managing to stay pretty organized (ie not too many pockets). It isn't perfect, it isn't really a pretty bag (though some of the colors are really pretty), yet it is one of my favorites to use on a daily basis. I have others that are not daily bags, but serve specific purposes but this is a great daily bag.

Okay long winded, but hopefully a bit helpful.

I guess now I will wait until March to check out the new bags. Thanks everyone for all of the input. I really appreciate it!
