I LOVE this diaper bag. It has all of the pockets/compartments I could ask for. And because of the color and style my husband feels comfortable carrying it.

Overall My husband and I I really like this bag. It's got lots of pockets And I have no problem putting everything I need inside of it( I breast-feed so I can't comment on how well it fits bottles) . I love the top fold over flap, I rarely zip the top because the Velcro holds well enough at things don't fall out. My husband loves that it's just plain black and It's pretty sporty. The annoying part is that the zippers cannot be zipped with one hand. I'm a first-time mom so I didn't realize what a big deal was until I had the baby! If the zippers would just zip more easily it would be perfect bag.

We use this product daily for bringing our daughter's diapers, wipes, extra clothing, bottles, formula, etc. to the sitter. The material is great because it cleans easily with just a damp cloth. I love the versatility of the bag, just adjust the straps and it can be used as a shoulder bag or a messenger bag. The ability to expand the bag is a neat feature as well. I don't like that the bag is soft and flimsy. If the bag had some structure items inside would stay in place. Also, I don't like that there is only one compartment for a bottle. It could use one at the other end as well.

I bought this bag in red (which unfortunately appears to no longer be available) when my oldest was about 10 months old. It lasted about 6 months before it ripped. No big deal, the bag comes with a LIFETIME WARRANTY!!! I called the company and was instructed to email them with pictures of the bag/damage. They shipped out a replacement right away. The replacement bag survived carrying stuff for 2 kids through regular everyday use and also plane and car trips!! We LOVE how much stuff this bag can carry!!!! It held everything we needed for a newborn and an 18 month old and we still had some room leftover!! Unfortunately the replacement bag has now ripped in the insulated bottle pocket so once again I emailed the company and they sent me another replacement bag. Well, the new bag arrived and it was a backpack bag!! Even though the backpack bag is nice, it won't hold everything I need for a 14 month old and a 32 month old. I called the company to let them know they made a mistake and the VERY nice representative that I spoke with said she would be sending out the correct replacement diaper bag in black (since they don't make the red anymore) right away. ALSO, she told me to KEEP the diaper bag that they had mistakenly sent the first time!!! They have AWESOME customer service!!!! So if you chose to purchase this bag (which I HIGHLY recommend that you do!!) keep the tags so that if anything happens to the bag you can have it replaced!!! (For the people complaining that this bag doesn't last, ANY bag is going to wear out if you are using it everyday and not every diaper bag comes with a lifetime warranty!!!)

This diaper bag is good if you are by yourself in that you can put across your body...however when I started to bottle feed my baby, there just isn't enough room to hold everything for the entire day. The flap that closes the bag is velcro and gets stuck to burp rags and clothes which then damages them. I ended up buying a bigger diaper bag, but saved for my husband to use.

We're expecting a girl and everyone wants to get you pink, zebra print, cheetah print, etc. I am a simple GAP type person and all that bling just doesn't do it for me. I want something simple and non assuming and this bag is perfect. It comes with tons of little pockets on the sides, on the inside, etc. It comes with a little black changing mat for out and abouts. Love it, will be perfect to carry across the body or over the shoulder. I am 5"2 and this fits me perfectly!! AND the best part is, it is very very light weight. All the others seemed heavy when trying them out at the store and I imagine once loaded down would be heavy to lug around while out and about.

I got this bag over 4.5 years ago, so that both my husband and I could use it. We've used it almost every single day since my first was born and it has been on countless airplane rides as well.

This bag is just wonderful! It's been permanently expanded the whole time we've owned it. The outside pockets are great for easy access items like keys, wallet, pacifier, bibs, spoon, meds, chapstick, etc. The outside insulated bottle pocket has been so great. It just made me feel better about putting a bottle of milk or juice in there and knowing it would last. It was also so convenient to be able to reach it one handed and quickly. The inside is great as well. It's quite large, the middle area is very roomy, there's a mesh pocket on one side with velcro and the other side has two large open pockets and zippered ones behind. The velcro on the mesh pocket does tend to stick to the mesh, but it's a minor annoyance. This pocket held extra clothes, crayons, toys, bibs, anything. On the other side, I always stuffed diapers in one and wipes in the other. Occasionally I used the interior bottle holder, but not too often. I keep not often used items in the interior zipper section for those just in case times. The outside has a diaper changing pad that I used quite frequently. I couldn't understand the two flappy pockets on the side. I never put anything in them, they are so small and they just got in the way. I would always fold them over to the back so the baby didn't lay on them. But a minor issue. You can zip and unzip this pocket one handed. It's just been so nice to have everything I could possibly want or need always with me.

The bag opens great when the flap is open, it doesn't close in on itself. This makes for easy use of throwing things in and finding stuff.

I like the adjustability of the shoulder strap, it can be lengthened or shortened enough for me or my much taller husband. The stroller strap snaps on the side have come in handy so many times and they attach very securely to your stroller.

The big middle part is especially great on airplane rides because it holds so much. (you know how much you need to bring to keep kids happy and occupied) It fits under every seat we've used, sometimes you have to shove it, but it's held up so well.

It's also comfortable. I've been using this for so many years and the only time my shoulder hurt was when we crammed it full for a trip. It's not so big though that you can't use it on a daily basis. I don't always have it filled to the brim, mostly I don't. When empty it's pretty light and I usually throw it in the car, under the cart or on the stoller, no big deal.

I ripped the interior lining pretty early on when the velcro stuck to some carpet and I just kept pulling. Otherwise the only other issue I've had with it is the zipper stitching pulling away from the bag part after a few years and recently the lining on the bottle holder is coming apart. That is all to be expected given how often and roughly we've used it. I guess if you don't like the sound of velcro then don't get it, but it never bothered my children. Given how much we've used it, no zippers have broken and there are many, and no pockets have ripped either. It's quite sturdy.

I'm expecting again, and will be buying another of these bags since I can't say one bad thing about this bag. It is just wonderful!!!

My mom sent me this diaper bag from the US when I had my daughter 3 years ago (the bags is still in GREAT condition).

I loved it because it wasn't girly or baby looking at all (which makes the bag useful for even just a normal bag). It made it to the US and back and 4 security stops with no issue. It was a life saver in the plane and airports with the changing mat especially!

The extra straps (that you can tuck away when not in use) that allow it to be attached to stroller handles were a godsend as someone who got around Europe on foot. The bag and many pouches and carrying nets along with storage place for my keys (on a key chain inside a pocket) and for pacifiers. It also came with 2 re-useable/re-sealable bags for storing things that may be stinky or in need of washing.

I TOTALLY recommend it.

I already had a diaper bag that I used for over a year but someone I saw knew had thi as one and it looked so cool and comfy that I decided to purchase it and see how I like it. Let me tell you... I can't even look at my old one. This one is hundred times more comfortable and useful. My husband can wear it too b/c it's unisex. It has so many compartments that are easy to reach. I packed it up full and spent many hours at the airport wearing it and carrying my child at the same time. It was really comfortable and I was really happy I made the switch. The old bag I had was eddie bauer and the zipper broke in the first month. This columbia bag seems to be way more sturdy and I hope it will last long. I only wish it would come in more collors than black and red.
