I love the Mia Bossi Caryn but it is too big for me but i know it screams style.

My three choices:
1. OiOi Hobo
2. Storksak Donna
3. Un Apres Passy

I like the look and functionality of these three bags. I have a 7 month old son and im a medium packer. I have a FV ST now and I love the fabric but i'm beginning to dislike the vertical aspect of it! I have a sKipHop Dash knockoff which i love but it doesnt look all that great. I just want something in neutral color too - makes it just easy to match with my clothes.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated too.

Thanks!

Well, I can only comment on the Oi Oi Hobo, but I love mine. I have the charcoal dot with lime interior, and I even used it as a work bag for a while. I love the strap because it's sort of seatbelt like, and I love the big, open pockets inside. Mine also came with a clear zipper pouch that I put all of my stuff in to keep it organized. I use it in my purse right now and switch it from bag to bag. The charcoal dot looks really nice with casual clothes and dressier clothes. I highly recommend it. :)

Thanks. I keep hearing good things about the OiOi Hobo too. Is it easy to take care of?

Yes, I'd say it is. It's a water resistant (waterproof?) fabric that you can easily wipe off. They come in different materials though. Some are more canvasy, like the Poppy (or so I hear) and the herringbone ones are more of a fabric. Mine is like a nylon material.

Oh wonderful!! I wish US had the circle hobo with turquoise lining. That's my fave color. I been searching all stores but no good!

Im trying to get one at a good price. Do you know any discounts or sales on any online stores?

Thanks for answering my questions. Appreciate it!

No problem! I'm not sure anymore what the criteria is for joining, but there's a Yahoo group called babybags where people buy and sell their diaper bags, and there are often some Hobos floating around there. I can't access it from here, so I can't give you the link, but if you do a search in yahoo groups for babybags, I believe you'll find it. Otherwise, go to www.froogle.com and do a search for one. You get results by price and can see if anyone has one on sale. Also, I saw some on ebay for pretty good prices. Let me know if you have any other questions! :)

I am a lurking member of babybags group! =) I love it. It is addicting. I just love reading reviews of various bags and of course on the lookout for a good bag.

I actually found a 25% off sale at Tresjoie.com, thanks to fellow member of the group. It has OiOi HOBO for 75 bucks!! SOO happy!!

Take care
