First of all thanks to Gina for arranging the Group Purchase.
I got my Pursonality on Friday and road tested it yesterday. I LOVE this bag. It is definitely my new favorite bag. I got the Function Rich Tote in Spring In Her Step.
It is made of a cavasy type material. Not as stiff as the Skip*Hop. The inside has a satiny feel.
On the outside:
two bottle pockets on the sides
two pockets in the front with a magnetic closure flap
long pocket in back w/matching changing pad (don't use though)
Packed in there:
back pocket is my changing pad and my organizer
side pockets cell phone and sun glasses
front pockets have spoons, bibsters and packet of tissues in one and toy keys in other
On the Inside:
two insulated bottle pockets
one long pocket running the length of the inside back wall closed w/velcro
to elastisized pockets on other end (front of bag)
Packed in there:
long pocket had extra outfit (3 pieces) and 2 bibs
elastisized pocket 1: wipes container
elastisized pocket 2: baby 1st aid kit (made myself)
main compartment had my purse, teething book, formula dispenser 3 jars of baby food, stacking cups, bottle of water and burp cloth
two insulated pockets have a Avent bottle in each
Comes w/a clear zippered pouch bigger than a pencil holder and I put 3 size 3 diapers in there with room to spare.
It also comes with a little change purse that matches the outside fabric, and that had purell and roll of dirty diaper bags.
Things I love:
I was out all day and I could carry everything w/out feeling overstuffed like I do with my T&L. Everything was so easy to get to and find, but my purse b/c it was buried, but that's OK, b/c I really didn't need it much. I love the fabric, b/c it looks easy to wash. The bag from the outside doesn't look huge so I don't feel like I'm lugging a diaper bag. It has 5 feet on the bottom so I don't worry about putting it on the floor. ETA: The front flap has magnets inbedded in the cloth so it's super easy to open and close and it will stay closed on it's own.
Things that are negative:
If you put two bottles in the inside pockets you cannot fit bottles in the outside pockets. It's one or the other. I even tried Dr. Brown's normal sized bottles and it still didn't work. With all of that stuff in there it is very heavy, but that's b/c I over pack not necessarily the bag. The straps are not long enough to hang on the stroller handle, so I had to use hooks. No biggy, but the first bag I had that problem with.
Overall:
Definitely worth every penny. I love this bag. I of course am still on the prowl for the perfect bag. I think I don't ever really find it because then I couldn't keep buying diaper bags. :) None of the negative aspects really offend me to the point of not liking the bag.
I am in a rush right now, but I promise to add pictures later today. I'm sorry for not being able to do that now. Let me know if you have any additional questions. x post on baby bags.
