Size wise, how do the Jujube Be Small, Lexie Barnes Darling and Lands End LT compare? The LT is the only one I've seen IRL, and I have a horrible time judging size just based on measurements. Also, does either the Be Small or Darling have a sippy cup pocket(s) on the outside? It's kind of hard to tell from the pictures I've seen. TIA!

From all the posts I've read, the Darling holds more than the LT (I have a LT). I'm sure you'll get los of responses! Try doing an advanced search, I have read lots of reiews here on these bags.

All 3 are on the smaller side for most people. As far as how much I personally can fit, I would say the Darling holds the most (due to the shape and pliable material), then the LT, then the Be Small. I mainly put the Be Small at the bottom since the shape and configuration of it is not as stuffable IMO.

The LT and Darling both have external sippy/bottle pockets. The Be Small does not, though inside you can put one, and some have been able to fit 2.

Right now I use a HUGE bag, but I could pretty much use my Darling for my daily bag though it does not look so big. My LT was my everyday bag with DS before I was introduced to this wonderful dipe bag world! I did not like the difficult external bottle pockets, but loved the size. The Darling is like the LT but a little more roomy and just better for me! The Be Small was waaaay too small for me, but I was curious! If I only had 1 kiddo I could use it for a quick trip bag but nothing too long. I will attach some pics for you of the Be Small!

Another bag in this realm is the Fleurville Mini Tote - I just love this cute little bag, but there are not bottle pockets. Lemme know if you would like a couple of pics (I think I have some LT/Mini Tote comparison pics)!

Good luck!

Sorry to overload you....I figure you would probably want too many pics than too few! Hope these help :)

Wow thank you!!! What great pictures! I have (and LOVE) my LT. I can't believe how much I can fit in there! I would LOVE the Mini ST though...Hmmm...

Thanks again!

No problem! Just a word of warning: I started out with an old-style LT with DC#1 for over 2 years, then saw the regular-sized ST when it came out. Ever since then, I have been diaper bag-obsessed, so tread lightly in these bag waters...it is addictive once you get a "pretty" bag!
