Chelsea & Main diaper bags at Walmart.com—anyone have these?

[Joanie B]

Has anyone tried this brand? I was on walmart.com and just saw some some really cute diaper bags. I never heard of this brand Chelsea & Main but the price seems really great since i don't want to spend too much.

I am deciding between a bag just for me or one that DS and I can both use. Love the fact both have stroller straps. Please let me know if you have either. I am more for the girly one though!

Wow, that's a great price. I like the navy one better, probably a bit better at resisting stains.

At that price point, I'd have to check it out in person (i.e. why is it so cheap?). I'd look at the mesh pockets first - are they strong, or cheap mesh, prone to tearing? Some mesh seems to tear just by looking at it. I had a Skip Hop Via backpack which was expensive, but the side mesh pocket tore when I put a regular baby bottle in it (LAME). I'd also examine the zippers, make sure they are smooth. Look inside the bag too - is there a lining, and can it be wiped? What about inside pockets? Are they stitched in together nicely? Check out the magnets too - magnets can be too weak or too strong, and you don't want them to wipe out data on your iPod. Finally, check out the changing pad. YOu don't want vinyl, there is a risk of lead in vinyl changing pads (if PVC). Walmart's George line of diaper bags had changing pads with very high quantities of lead, for example.

If it looks to be of decent quality, then I think the value is exceptional. If not, pass.
