Where can I get these bags online? They list physical stores in each state that carry them and none near me.
I especially like the look of the Jetsen and Circles:

I'm bumping this up because I would like to know if anyone has one and how they like it. I am looking for it to replace a Skip Hop.

Someone is selling one on Craigslist for $40, although it is not one of these prints.

I checked with a shop here and I think they should have the bags in stock now, so I am hoping to stop by there soon. I have also seen a few more places selling them online. If you google, they should come up. Price is around $100.

I saw these today at BuyBuyBaby for 89.99 (same as ebags) and I must say, I'm in love! I just need to sell the others first.

Things I like about it - nylon exterior - not nubby backpack material (hate that) nor sensitive vinyl that is so fashionable these days.

TONS and TONS of room in this thing and it's well thought out. I like that it has magnetic closures on the side compartments. LOVE the phone compartment right on top, but somewhat tucked in and love all the little extras.

Best of all? It's lightweight. I have the sling tote by Fleurville and the darned thing BY ITSELF weighs a ton - like a new mom isn't lugging enough weight as it is!?!?!

I think I'm picking one up tomorrow. I actually came online to see if anyone had reviewed it yet!!!

Melissa - trying to pawn off her Jirro Dekko bag, her Aqua sling tote by Fleurville, her Timi and Leslie bag AND her McKenzie Kids sling.... jeez, and I thought I was being so good!!!! (and I'm keeping my skiphop dash and my lands end do it all!)

I finally got to see this IRL and I was a bit disappointed. It is lightly padded, which is not obvious from the picture and description on the website. The padding makes it bulkier and bigger. The overall size was bigger than I thought it would be and the bag was heavier than I thought it would be, too. The innermost pocket is nice and opens wide, but the outer ones are a bit narrow for me. This is what drives me crazy about my other bags. I thought the straps might fit over the handle of my Combi US but they did not. So it's not the bag for me.

Melissa, did you buy one? I would be interested to know how it functions IRL.

I didn't get it. I took my stroller in and I too realized that this bag can't hang from the stroller handles. I'm sorry, then what's the point? I guess you could tuck it in the basket of the stroller, but not like you need that space for other things so much of the time.

So, no... I didn't get it and my search is back on. I want a lighterweight bag with organization and a LONG shoulder strap! I'm afraid to use vinyl in winter!

You might want to try this bag:

I basically use it as a purse and keep diapers and wipes inside. I add whatever we need when we go out. If you do a search, you will find some recent posts on the Lesportsacs.

I was actually looking at these this summer, but I don't like that they have very little organization. Pretty pricey for a nylon bag in my opinion!
