PPB or Posh Ultimate

[martycw]

Can anyone compare the Petunia Pickle Bottom Boxy Backpack and the Posh Baby Ultimate? I know the fabrics are different (silk v. oilcloth?) but I'm struggling to decide which will work for me, especially since I haven't seen the Posh in real life. Anyone have any advice?

I've had the Posh Ultimate and the orginization was awesome! I don't think the PPB is nearly as organized as the Posh. The Posh is also going to be so easy just to wipe clean and not have to worry about dry cleaning it.

Tara -
Does the Posh feel huge?? I'm a little nervous about the size, based on the website pic, but I'm also not sure the Boxy Backpack is really big enough... Thanks!

Not the previous poster, but I have a Posh too. I don't have a PPB so I can't really compare the two.

The Posh is quite large but I don't find it overwhelming. To give you a reference on size- I'm 5'3" and weigh 112.

I have 1 child and it is too large to be my everyday bag- we use it primarily for travel and all day outings. I love the material and the interior organization.

Hope that helps!

Tina - Can I ask what you do use for your everyday bag? (Thought that might help me compare). Thanks!

I bought the bag when I had my second baby. I had 2 in diapers and I thought it was the perfect bag for a newborn and a toddler. I also tend to over pack. Once my baby outgrew the newborn stage I thought it was too large for my everyday bag. I love my skip hop dash for my every day bag. So far it has been my best bag purchase.

I am 5'8" and medium build so it didn't overwhelm me. I thought the Fleurville MS did. The straps aren't bulky so it doesn't make the bag feel so bulky. I ended up selling the bag because I just wasn't needing a bag that big but now that #3 is on the way I wish I had it back.

Sure, I'm using a Chester backpack. I'm a medium packer. I was starting to need a larger bag but recently my ds likes having his own little bag so he carries most of his own stuff.

But I plan on keeping my Posh if/when we have another baby.
