Hi All,

I couldnt get to see the other bags in the stores i visited. Happened to see DJ Bag, Dash and Bob and i think i like the DJ Bag.

Of all these bags, is there a personal favourite of yours? If so, why? Do you rate a particular bag better than others?
Those who have been using DJ Bag, is there any thing that you dont like about it?

Also is there a website where i can buy one of these bags discounted. I searched the other sub forum in this website (for coupons) i couldn't find any one that i can use.

Thanks for your time.

So I'd personally cross out Diaper Dude. I purchased that and felt it was floppy and not a bag that I could carry as the body was more for a "brusque" build.

We have the Fleurville Alpha 7 and DJ bag in Camo and so far, DH likes the DJ bag. Again, it's a little bulky for my build (I'm about 5'6", 130lb). Plus, it's a little difficult to get into sometimes if you're on the go. There's not just a zipper but a clip and then a zipper. It's also only designed to be worn over 1 shoulder. But it's still a pretty neat bag. I like Fleurville as a whole. Oh and DH says the DJ bag is more comfortable than the Alpha 7.

My hubby likes the Diaper Dude. The material is pretty sturdy. He even wants to use it later on as a work bag! We got ours at ChildCarriers.com
We have the black peace model.

We have a black Skip Hop. DH and I both carry it though it mostly lives in the car. I really like the bag and would buy it again.

I have several friends that own the Diaper Dude and my SIL has the Diaper Diva. They are nice bags though they seem a little smaller than the Skip Hop. They start bulging out the front if you stuff too much in there.

Hi,
At last I went with DJ Bag, got me a Olive colored one off stores.Kiwi-Kid.com. They were selling the Camo for $70 (and other prints for $80), pretty decent compared to $120.

Haven't started using the bag yet, waiting for the little one to be born March/1.

Thanks all for the inputs.

By far my favorite dad's bag is the JJB messenger. Check out www.ju-ju-be.com and see!!! My husband even uses it for work. It is very cool.
