JuJuBe Packabe - anyone have pictures?

[momof1squirt]

I asked this on the babybags group but didn't get a response. I am looking for a IRL picture of the Packabe interior packed to get a good idea of it's true size. The interior shots on JJB site make it kinda hard to tell since nothings in it. Also, is this bag heavy unpacked? I have a Be Smart and it seems a bit heavy when nothing's in there.
Thanks!

I couldn't find anything either. :( I thought there had been pics on babybags, but I guess not. They have to remove them every so often to make space, so maybe there was at one time. I did read that it's heavy unpacked. I think trmbwilson(?) has one. Maybe she can post pics. HTH a little!

I have one and I love it. It is so roomy compared to my previous bags: Loom Maruspial, Kecci Shanghai Mommybag and Fleurville Alpha 7. I will try to take pics and post in the next day or two. :)

I should add that at first I found it a bit heavy unpacked but the organization and roominess won me over quickly.

Hi, Andrea! Sorry I missed this question in the board - I have been in and out of town this past week. I found these old pics - not the best, but here goes nothing:

Just to give you an idea about this one, I carry all my Mommy things in the front two pockets (I use my FV wristlet for my wallet and also carry a cell, compact, Burt's Bees tin of lip stuff, etc.)

Inside the main compartment:
sz 4T cargo shorts and undies
JJB Snack Capsule
2 sz 4 Cruisers, 1 Pull-up
full soft pack of Huggies wipes
bag of Sassy diaper disposal bags
camera in small case (actually, a LB mini bag, lol)
couple toys
soft baby doll
1st aid supplies in snack-sized zip-lok
couple other odds and ends

Although the bag is a bit heavier than say the LB Darling, like another poster said, I have no issue with it since it is so well-organized. I wish I had known about this when we were living in the city in Germany - so much more fashionable than my Jack Wolfskin backpack! I think you would like it if you are not a stickler for the padded straps, then you would really enjoy this one. I will definitely keeping this bag (although the first thing we discover on these boards is to never say never, right?!) after babies, just as a backpack.

I think that you would like it for your travels if you are in the mood for a fun, organized bp, Andrea!

HTH! :)

Thanks Tina! That helps a ton to be able to see the inside packed. I am now going to have to decide if I should get the new blue print or an old one :)

Tina, how comfy is it to wear as a messenger? Is it easy to access items? Thanks!
