| Customer Reviews: Average Rating:  Rating : - HEAVY DIAPER BAG BUT DURABLE Was so looking forward to get my hands on this item and just received last week. H-E-A-V-Y is all I can say when I hold and carry the empty bag. Nice compartments and the material used truly of high quality and can see this bag will last for years to come. Pros: (1)EASILY ACCESIBLE DIAPER WIPE @ Front. I used this to put hand wipes since I like that it is at the front and easily accesible by myself, my husband and my 4.5 yrs old todler whenever we go out with the 6 months old baby. I bought a diaper changing kit by Especially for Baby from BabyRUs which is Black and made of same material, matches the bag PERFECTLY and toss it inside the zipper compartment where the diaper pad located, didn't like the diaper pad provided, TOO FLIMSY, NOT PRACTICAL! (2)Material used for inside and outside of the bags are "tough" material, can see that this bag can last for a long time even w/ rough handling.
Cons: (1)OMG, this bag is so HEAVY when EMPTY that once loaded w/ thermos, 2 baby bottles, formula dispenser container, diaper changing kit loaded w/ diaper and a travel case wipe as well as 1 set of baby clothing that it is REALLY HEAVY even for my husband. (2)The stroller strap on ech side, the strap is made of ribbon like material and not enough width, can see that it will break soon if the diaper bag is kept hanging all the times on stroller w/ all the jugglings using the bag while hanging on stroller. Also, DIFFICULT to hang the bag onto stroller once the bag filled out w/ stuffs, all these due to the stroller strap is thin and the hook is a little small. (3) Can't squeeze anything INTO the bag once you filled out things in the outside zippered pockets. Some how, this bag is designed to filled out INWARDLY and not stretchable outwardly.
IMPROVEMENTS FOR THIS PRODUCT: (1) get rid of that FLIMSY diaper pad, UNNECESSARY!!! Replace this w/ a diaper changing kit that has the same size and great padding like Especially for Baby though unlike Especially for Baby diaper changing kit, made everything cover w/ fabric on the outside so that the diaper wipe case and diapers are enclosed w/ fabric on the bottom and the top is made of mesh. Don't mind that the manufacturer charge $10 or so more since getting this separately also the same price but it is so COOL to have a diaper bag w/ its separate diaper changing kit when you just need to change diaper only, you just take the kit and no need to open the bag for anything at all since the diaper kit has all you will for diaper changing. (2) Made this into a backpack too so that it can be used as crossbody, shoulder and backpack. (3) PLEASE PLEASE USE LESS DENSE FABIRC OR MATERIAL!!! THIS BAG IS SUPER DUPER HEAVY EVEN WHEN IT IS EMPTY!!! Do consider lighter material yet durable. Suggestion is to use those material that Tumi used in their crossbody bags which is SO LIGHT YET SO VERY DURABLE & STAIN RESISTANT AS WELL AS STRETCHABLE!!! (4) Improvement needed in the stroller straps!! THIN & FLIMSY straps as well as difficult to hang on stroller after diaper bag is filled w/ stuffs. Design and material used for the stroller straps needed to be changed. (5) Please consider making the flap of messenger bag be reversible like the sport bag too! Charge a little bit more if necessary as I would be willing to pay rather than getting another flap. One side is w/ design and the other side is solid w/ strip. (6) Have a cell phone pouch some where outside the bag, either on the bag or strap. (7) Need to be WIDER so that can put many things inside the bag. (8) Include 2-3 mini color coded collapsable vynl cube-like containers that are stackable, w/ or without lids, so that one can store snacks and not be crushed or baby foods inside and able to locate it instantly. Now, if all the above suggestions are included into the next generation of Dadgear Diaper Bag, would definitely give this a 5 Star Diaper Bag. + See Full Customer Review |  |
