Review of Ella Ultimate Diaper Bag

First Impression
Looks Small and the Strap is too short

Upon Actual Usage….the strap is too short (!) but it’s doable as a tote. I used the bag both on my stroller (MBUS) and on my body – on my body I wish for a longer strap but it’s perfect on the stroller. On my body, when it’s on my shoulder the bag is at approx my waist (I’m 5’5”).

The hardware is very nice – nickel. The construction is great. I love that the bag is super lightweight when empty; it stands up on its own w/o flopping over. There’s pockets galore! The elastic pockets are super for holding a few diapers, wipes case, changing pad (disp. Changing pad). I have toys/matchbox cars in one of the end bottle pockets; my wristlet in one of the back slip pockets; small snacks in other bottle packet. I also have a ½ pint bottle of water in a bottle pocket inside. What else? Small cosmetic bag w/ sunscreen, bandaids, disp bibs, utencils, etc.

Thanks for sharing pictures! They're always fun to see. I hope you end up liking the bag despite the strap.

Very nice! I really like how the fabric looks on the shape of the bag, very clean cut and sharp looking.

I wear mine tote style vs. messenger style so the strap length doesn't bother me. However, I wish the strap was wider. Other than that, I'm loving my bag.

I agree, I wish the straps were wider too. It even looks as though it needs to be wider.
I can't wait to use mine, but am afraid to bring it out until I can come up w/a really good excuse for why I have yet another bag when DH sees it.
Anyway, I like the overall appearance of it, size and interior organization, but can't say that I'd get another one at the price, since mine arrived with some ridiculous flaws.

Got mine yesterday and had a couple problems with it as well, including short straps. If you email them they will easily fix the straps if you would like longer ones!

They are sending me an extension for the strap. I've used this bag for a week + and really do like it alot. Fortunately i haven't had any issues other than the strap being too short. I love the pockets (inside and out), the hardware, the looks, etc.

This would be my *perfect* bag if it had a backpack option. But I'm thinking the longer strap will help w/ that.
