Opinions on bags - PPB BB vs A7 vs Diaper Dude vs Combi Urban Sling

(crossposted on stroller swap)
I'm trying to figure out a bag for the next baby. I've looked at PPB
BB, diaper dudes, A7, and saw a cute combi urban sling. Any thoughts,
suggestions would be great. I like the reviews, size of the A7 - but
as they are so scarce and the only one I can seem to find is a very
boring black cord. I love the ppb's prints - especially the green tea -
but it does look large and sort of floppy (I had a kecci which I used
a lot earlier on when my kids were small - now 5 and 2, no diapers
currently, but I didn't like the floppiness). My sister has a diaper
dude and the quality seems very good. I think I really need a couple
bags but don't know if I can justify the expense with the last baby.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be great. I'm not afraid to try a
knockoff if you have a quality suggestion.
Thanks in advance,
Kinsey

I can respond in regards to a PPB - I have had that and a Kecci. Kecci is actually larger, PPB BB a little smaller and a little less floppy, but does flop with time. PPB organization is not as good. The attached changing pad is downright annoying- hard to balance bag not to fall on child when it's attached- and it's cloth that doesn't just wipe clean! Open side pockets with no elastic means things fall out easily. Ugly, slippery straps. And the fabric is much more delicate than a Kecci- it pulls on EVERYTHING including it's own velcro. It starts to look very worn, very fast.

What about a sling tote or mini sling tote? Size wize, it's like an A7, and much more available as they are still being made.

Can't comment on diaper dude, or conbi sling- though I am not a fan of the look of sling style bags in general.

My all time favorite didn't make your list- a Skip Hop Dash.
