    I did tons of research and couldn't decide between this bag and the Fleurville Mothership. I am SO glad I chose the Skip*Hop Studio Diaper Tote!!!!
    This bag is awesome. So many pockets - and not those small, useless pockets, either. All of the pockets are a great size and really help keep everything organized. The handles are a great length and fit nicely over the shoulder; the handle straps also stay put on my shoulder, which is important when you're carrying a baby. The bag looks great, too. Not too fancy, but not too casual. (I have it in black) The material is soft (can't think of a better word) so it's easy to squeeze in to tight spaces - but yet it's sturdy. I have a Fleurville Lexi tote and I love it, too, but that bag is kind of stiff. I think this Skip*Hop will become my everyday bag. It is a bit large - so if you're not in to large bags this may be better as an over-night diaper bag. But I can fit everything I need in here, and have room for a book, my make-up bag, wallet, phone, and then some. I only wish they made the inside a brighter color (like the Fleurvilles, which have bright blues, greens, pinks, etc.) to add a little spunk, but who looks inside the bag anyway...
    To give you an idea of how much stuff you can put in this bag, here is what I have in it right now:
    1. 5 diapers
    2. Wipes container AND small package of face wipes
    3. 8oz bottle and 6oz bottle of water
    4. 3 pairs of baby pants
    5. 3 onesies
    6. butt paste
    7. baby tylenol
    8. large nose sucker (you know what i'm talking about!)
    9. package of boogie wipes
    10. packets of hand sani-wipes
    11. package of kleenex
    12. 3 burp cloths
    13. 3 bibs
    14. 3 small toys
    15. small baby hoodie and bib in the bottom zipper (awesome secret pocket!)
    16. wallet
    17. small make-up bag
    18. cell phone
    19. camera
    20. sunglasses with case
    21. small blanket on the outside flap
    (Don't judge me.....I'm out of town and had to pack lots-o-stuff!)
    And there are still some pockets not in use! All this stuff is in its own pocket (except for the clothes) so it's not all just piled in there and hard to find.
    I highly recommend this bag - I have been very impressed with it and am glad I bought it.

    At last, I've found my perfect diaper bag. I've tried many other brands (Petunia Pickle Bottom, Fleurville, OiOi, Lexie Barnes and even other Skip Hop models) only to find some important element lacking - usually lack of organization, space, style or security. But this bag has it all.
    *Two roomy external bottle pockets also fit sippies and 16 oz. thermos bottles
    *Two interior bottle pockets also fit sippies (hard to see these pockets in the Skip Hop provided photos, but they were a nice surprise)
    *Nice and roomy interior zip pocket in main compartment, large enough to fit a spare onesie, socks, and knit pants
    *Foldable changing pad which is softer nylon, not the cold cheapy vinyl Skip Hop uses in the Dash and Duo lines.
    *Large exterior pocket in the back fits coloring books and magazines, and has a magnet closure (magnet isn't that strong, however - wish it was a snap closure instead)
    *Medium pocket in back which has antimicrobial lining. Not sure if this pocket is supposed to be for food (seems too small for use as a lunch compartment and snacks might get crushed) - it is way too big for pacifiers...would fit around 20 pacifiers though if necessary. I use it for my wallet and wristlet and hair comb. Diapers and wipes would fit here too.
    *2 front zip pockets. One on top is good size for your cell and keys. One on bottom a good size for burp cloths, bibs, travel size lotions.
    *Nickel feet on bottom - protects from wear and scuffs
    *Beautiful ribbed nylon (not sure how nylon is "eco" though) fabric. I have this bag in black and it looks sharp.
    Overall, the only thing I would change is having a snap option on the back pocket (versus magnet). That is a very minor issue compared the issues I found in other bags (poor construction, lack of interior pockets, no exterior pockets for sippies, cheap zippers, etc...). This one is a keeper, wish I had it when my second child was born a year ago!

    I'm currently using this bag as a diaper bag on the weekend but during the week as my breast pump bag. There's enough room to fit the breast pump, all accessories and even the large insulated breast milk carrier. Even with the breast pump, there's still enough room for my lunch, a water bottle in the easy access outside pocket, cell phone, wallet and even some paper work. The best part of this bag is that there is absolutely no PVC so no gross odor and earth friendly. It's a high end bag with a reasonable price. The only small complaint is the red skip hop tag on the outside which is a dead give away that it's diaper bag...otherwise no one would have a clue.
    Update: After a month, there was a small defect in the bag. I contacted Skip Hop and they sent me a new one overnight. I couldn't believe how great customer service was. Buy with confidence.

    I just found this bag at BBB and took it home right away! Our first diaper bag was the Skip Hop Duo and I hated it. I was able to fit all of our things from that bag and... have space for more. I think with the Duo the middle compartments are hard to use b/c the pockets get smooshed when you fill the other pockets. Anyway, I love this bag too b/c it doesn't look so casual. I'm also short, so I hated the long shape of the Duo. This bag can be attached to the stroller or carried like a shoulder bag. I don't feel so frumpy with this bag! My husband will have to deal. I got the black one, but the gold and slate are nice too. Only negative is the patent trim. It does look a little cheap, but with the black one you can't really tell. The brown one looks more obvious. I would have gotten slate, but it wasn't at the store.

    Be wary! This bag is falling apart. I've had it for less than 4 months, and I am not hard on my things. I usually resell my "old" bags and baby items on craigslist, but this won't even be decent enough to donate to Goodwill! I wonder if all the good review this bag got were from when people first got it in the mail, because I was really excited when I got it. In hindsight, I wish I'd gotten the Babymel Amanda bag I'd debated getting.
    Pros:
    1. I like all the pockets it has to organize my toddler's sippy cups, snacks, toys, diapers, etc.
    2. The stroller straps work well.
    Cons:
    1. One of the inside pockets tore.
    2. There are threads coming out of various places on the outside of the bag. It looks haggard.
    3. There is a rip where the faux leather meets the fabric on the sippy cup holder on the side. In fact, many places where the fabric meets the trim are frayed and beginning to show signs of impending rips.
    4. The inside pockets are smooshed because the bag has no "hold" to it, so it can be difficult to get into the inside pockets - or find them for that matter. It kind of makes all those pockets useless.
