skip hop dash vs duo (pics)

[karolyp]

ed for spelling

This is my first post in this forum, but I just want to return the favor to you all. I was set on getting a new skip hop bag found several skip hop reviews extremely helpful, but still couldn't figure out which one would suit me better: the dash or duo. I ended up ordering both from nordstroms and then took the one I didn't like back. So, I don't want to rewrite those fab reviews, but I just wanted to add comparison pics of the dash and duo in hopes that it help someone out there.

Here are some pics of the dash (L) and duo (R) side by side

Here are 2 more pics of the dash (bottom) and duo (top) looking down into them, the first one has the top zipper pockets closed and in the second they are open

Hope I didn't overload you all with all those pics! ;)
I ended up keeping the dash and taking back the duo. I didn't like the duo because it was so deep and I felt like all my stuff was getting lost in the bottom. I also didn't like the duo because if you used the two top zippered compartments, then it was hard to get to the things on the bottom. And I liked the fact that the dash would stand up by itself.

Anyhow, I hope these pics help!

that was so nice of you to post- the Dash v. Duo question does come up often!

I actually like the style of the Dash better too!

What a great comparison! Thank you!!

Great pictures! Thanks! I love the Dash too. I have a Duo now that I'm hoping to sell because it's just not what I hoped it would be. I have the same color in my Dash and love it. :)

Can you give me more info on the Dash? I have a Duo and while I really like it, it seems like things really get lost in the bottom of the bag--like it's too deep--but the Dash looks smaller to me--maybe because it's shorter? Is it roomier or just easier to pack/find than the Duo?

Do you find the flap annoying? I've never had a diaper bag with a flap over the top--just a zipper (Land's End Tote) or the Velcro (Duo).

TIA

I love my Dash, and it definitely holds more than the Duo (I have one of those I'm looking to get rid of). The organization is great and it's much easier to pack and to find things. The only negative to the flap is the velcro factor, which is only a problem for me if I'm somewhere like church where I need to be quiet. It has a great handle on the top to grab it quickly and go, if you don't want to throw it over your shoulder. It's definitely a great bag. I recommend it all the time. LOL. ;)

What great pictures! Now, why can't the websites selling these bags do the same? I'm so glad I found this because I had been complaining earlier that no one showed the inside of the bag.
I'm going for the Dash
Thanks a bunch! :)
