Fisher-Price Fastfinder™ Deluxe Wide Opening Diaper Bag - Brown (Colors/Styles Vary)

The bag carries soooo much stuff (which is great if you're a first time mom and wind up with everything and the kitchen sink in there.) There are more compartments than when we knew what to do with! There was plenty of space, and having the longer strap really made it easy to carry when we had to lug the baby in the carseat too. Changing pad is pretty thick, and the bag itself is designed to help you stay organized (assuming you can remember where you put everything.)

The bag held up pretty well initially, but eventually, the wire that holds the bag open pushed through the fabric at around 9 months. Also, the special "bottle compartment" to keep milk cold didn't do much other than help us know where we had put the milk. We thought that having a wipes container on the outside was a genius idea... except the container continually pops open and your wipes dry out. We bought a smaller version of this bag and have the same issue with the wipes container. Trying out a different brand for baby #2

Fell in love with the look of this bag and all the pockets. The inside mesh pockets ripped just packing for the hospital. The stiff zipper is a hassle and requires two hands to close. The changing pad fell apart in the gentle cycle of the wash. After about 2 months of use one of the thick metal bars/supports for the zipper ripped through the end and I scratched my hand on it several times. Really wish it were more durable.

This diaper bag was given to me as a gift, and I couldn't have picked a better one myself! I love that it remains wide open while you're fishing things out. And there are ample pockets for the necessities. I found the plastic wipes holder a bit junky, but a package of wipes fits perfectly instead. It's also great because my husband doesn't think it's to frou-frou-y to carry himself. ;)

This is the perfect bag for Me. I am a crafter and I like to carry my stuff with me when I go on short trips to visit family. I am also a diabetic. The bag is huge and fits so much of my craft items. Lots of internal pockets to organize things. I hate germs so I love that there is an outside pocket for baby wipes. I use the insulated pocket with a very small ice pack to store my insulin. Even the changing pad is great for when you are sitting outside and want something to sit on so your clothes don't get dirty. People should look at diaper bags for more than just babies. They can be very functional and make great carry on's for planes.

I fell in love with this bag, I am an organizational junkie and this bag was my dream! However after about 3-4 months of use the metal rods that held the bag open started poking through the fabric, and then the thermal lining started ripping at the seams. Before the thermal lining ripped, it wasn't very efficient at keeping my bottles either cold or warm. I could have been okay with all of that, if when I contacted Fisher Price with my issues they would have stood behind their product and not passed the buck to some other company that they get the bag from. Very irritated at the whole process.

I love it. It is a great size with tons of pockets and compartments so it's easy to find everything we need. One small problem is that the wipe case opens too easily so wipes get dried out faster. Simple design, light weight, very good product.

This bag is huge and great for travelling or other times when you need to bring everything and the kitchen sink, although it's also pretty bulky if you don't need to carry that much. The brown color with green stitching is gender neutral so my husband doesn't mind carrying it.

There are four large outside pockets on the bag. One contains a portable changing pad folded up. It's like most changing pads that come with diaper bags -- functional but a little small when baby gets bigger.

Another pocket contains a wipes container, with an opening for the lid of the container so the container can stay in the bag during a diaper change. Unfortunately, the container is not air tight because our wipes were completely dry after a few weeks. However, I can replace the container with my own refill wipes package (the kind with the plastic lid) and the lid fits through the opening in the bag, so it functions the same but doesn't look as nice.

On the other side of the bag, there is an insulated bottle pocket. Unfortunately this pocket is a bit too short for my Dr. Brown's tall bottles with the cap on, so I can only fit one bottle diagonally. You could fit two shorter bottles side-by-side.

The final large outside pocket is supposed to be a wipe-clean pacifier pocket, but my baby quickly weaned himself off pacifiers so we just use it for odds and ends -- usually for my wallet and phone.

There are also long skinny pockets on the ends of the bag that I use for my own water bottle.

The opening to the main compartment of the bag has a frame, which I've discovered is a little awkward -- to get a larger item (like a toy) out of the bag, you have to unzip the bag completely and open up the frame. A bag without a frame would allow you to unzip it halfway and grab an item. I did not realize this would be a drawback until I tried to open the bag while holding a squirmy baby, or while the bag was squished into the basket under the stroller!

The main compartment has 6 small mesh pockets along the sides, which can be used for small items, or if you don't use them they don't take up any extra space. Since you can store bottles, pacifiers, wipes, and changing pad in the outside pockets, the main compartment provides tons of space for all the other things you need to carry -- diapers, clothes, snacks, toys, etc.

The adjustable shoulder strap allows you to carry this as a shoulder bag or cross body. The two small handles can be velcroed together. So far our bag is still in great condition but we've only had it for a few months.

Overall, it's still a good bag for the price but not perfect.

When my Husband and I were looking for a diaper bag...it was the one item that took us the longest. When my Husband found this model we both fell in love with it at the store. Everything was so easily marked, the pockets were deep and everyone says how much they love having the wipe container on the outside. My sister enjoyed the bag so much as she saw mine at my shower, she went out that same day and purchased the exact same one for her second child to come. I wish I could have stopped her before she wasted her money. While the idea behind the bag is great, the quality of the bag has been extremely disappointing.

Within the first few days of using the wipe container I would go to shut it and it would pop back open. I finally took it out and now just purchase the wipes with the top opening and have placed that in the opening for wipes instead. About two weeks later on of the metal rods that helps to keep the bag open began to poke through. I would push it back in and then it would poke back out again. It would constantly catch on my clothes and I was concerned it would end up poking my son, so I pulled it out. Within 45 additional days the 2nd metal rod came out the other side and so I pulled this out also. (I will admit though, the bag does pack better now that the rods are gone.)

For a few months, nothing else happened with the bag and I figured I would just live with these few inconvenience; however, by month 5 of using the bag, the insulated lining in the bottle section started to separate at the seams. Every time I turn around I am picking up another piece of silver lining off my floor from where it has fallen out/ripped. Now when I put a cooler pack in the bag and we are out for the day, the cooler pack will start to melt and the water that comes off the pack will leak into the rest of my bag getting my child's clothes and diapers damp.

Finally, on each end of the zipper is a piece of material that has been sewn on to keep the zipper from coming off when you open and close the bag. The stitching has come out of one of the tabs allowing the material to separate from the zipper and one of the zippers has now fallen off. I have it temporarily helped on with a safety pin until I can get a chance to re-stitch it.

I really wanted to give the bag the benefit of the doubt and thought, maybe it was just mine; however, may sister has now been using her bag for two months and the wipe container broke within the first two weeks, the metal rods in hers have also come out, and the lining in the insulated bottle compartment has also separated at the seams. Too bad both of us wasted our money of this.

I will continue to use the bag because I am not going to waste another large amount of money on a bag that is going to fall apart within a few weeks or months. I have also been able to do things to make the bag still work for me (purchasing wipes with a flip top, place ice packs in a zip lock bag to keep form leaking, using a safety pin to keep the zipper from falling off. I will wait until we are ready for our next child before considering another bag.

I love this bag so much! It is perfect! It has a compartment for everything and they are all labeled with cute little pictures. It might be too big for some people, but I use it for my stuff and the baby's and I don't need to carry a purse. Plus it is easy cleanup as well and Daddy doesn't mind carrying it because it's gender neutral.
