Baby Products Reviews of Skip Hop Duo Deluxe, Black
Customer Review: A great diaper bag!
Summary: 4 Stars
This diaper bag is great. As a replacement bag for our first one that fell apart, this is just about as good as it gets.
First, there's lots of pockets. I love how there are the zippered pockets up at the top of the bag that my 2-year-old son doesn't know about, so that's where I hide all my stuff! I like that you can tighten the hold on the bottle/sippy cup pocket so that it doesn't fall out.
We were spoiled by our first diaper bag which had stroller straps on the inside, so that was definitely something we were looking for. I love that this one has the stroller straps! It makes it so much easier than stashing it under the stroller! I also love how you can take the shoulder strap off so that it doesn't just hang there while it's attached to the stroller.
My husband and I purchased the black bag, and I loved how I knew that my husband would feel comfortable carrying it around. It doesn't really look like a diaper bag, and it's not really a girly-looking bag, so I knew that he'd be willing to carry it.
The only thing I'm not a huge fan of is that the inside isn't that spacious. It's nice and deep, but it's kinda narrow inside, so if you have a lot of little toys or pacifiers or something in there loosely, they'll get lost at the bottom of the bag. Also, we're about to have our second baby, and I'm a little worried about having all my 2-year-old's toys and such in there and still having space for the abundance of items a newborn will need to have hauled around. We'll just have to see how that goes!
Other than that, I love this bag!
Customer Review: I LOVE my Skip Hop Duo!
Summary: 5 Stars
I use my diaper bag as a purse too so not only do I have all of my sons items I have a wallet, cell phone, keys and a couple of cosmetic items I need room for. I had tried a couple different diaper bags that I received as baby shower gifts but they screamed "Baby" where cheaply made and didn't seem to have enough pockets to store things in. I had gotten an Amazon Gift Card as a birthday present so I decided to do read some reviews and find a better bag. I came across the Skip Hop Duo and fell in love!
It has 11 very useful pockets. The designers really knew what they wanted when designing this bag. I have room to put in toys, jars of baby food, diapers, a pack of wipes, a change of cloths for my son, a thin blanket for nursing in public. There are convenient pockets for bottles if I had the need for them and a separate zippered pocket where I keep all my personal items. It came with a changing pad. I also like the magnetic closers, the cushy shoulder strap and the shuttle clip for attaching the bag to my stroller.
I have one piece of advice, even if you have a boy, don't be afraid to buy a more "girly" type bag. Most people think this is my purse anyway. I originally thought about ordering the Cherry Bloom design but I though it was too feminine to use for a boy. Now I wish I had. Buy the bag for you and not the baby.
Customer Review: Well made but too small
Summary: 3 Stars
I put this on my registry based on its great reviews and a recommendation from a friend but now I wish I had seen it in person first because I've never really been happy with the design. This is a great quality diaper bag, it doesn't fray and isn't showing any signs of wear despite my son being almost a year old. I like the waterproof pocket for dirty diapers and the cup holder side pocket. But the design of this bag kind of stinks. It's tall and narrow so it falls over when I set it down and it's not nearly big enough for a few diapers, a change of clothes, and a toy or two. I can't ever find anything inside it, my wallet will sink to the bottom while I'm out shopping, never to be seen again (till I get home and dump the entire thing out). It also kind of swings awkwardly at my side. It's not flat like a messenger bag but since it's usually overstuffed and there isn't a strong closure (just a magnet) I don't feel comfortable flipping it over my back where anyone could reach inside. I will probably sell this at a consignment shop and get a different bag for my next kid. That said, I have passively been looking for a replacement and most of what I see in stores feels cheap so I continue to use (and dislike) it. Well made bag, just a dumb design. I think there are nicer ones by this maker.Customer Review: What I didn't know prior to my purchase...
Summary: 4 Stars
This bag was purchased as a replacement for my free hospital diaper bag. I didn't want too spend much, but I needed decent storage space. I am very happy with this purchase. I can fit 2 Medela bottles in each of the outside front pockets, and put a sippie cup in the mesh bag on the side. I love the cell phone pouch and the padded shoulder pad. Before I purchased this diaper bag, I didn't realize that it comes with a matching changing pad. I also didn't know that it has two zipper pouches in the top folds on either side of the large opening, which are great for personal items and small toys. My favorite things about this diaper bag are the magnetic clasps and the special straps made to wrap around the handles of my stroller. Hooray! No more head stands to dig stuff out from under the stroller! In short, my husband and I love the functionality of this bag. The only down side to this product is that the material seems to collect hair, fuzz, and dirt more than I wish that it would. Ours is black, which doesn't help either. Still, it's a quality product with great functionality. I recommend it!Customer Review: The camera added 10 pounds
Summary: 3 Stars
Pros:
The inner pockets fit diapers and travel wipe packs perfectly.
The fabric is durable and easy to clean.
The magnet snaps make it easy to close the bag when in a hurry.
The changing pad covers public changing tables well.
The strap is very comfortable.
It's fits snugly into the basket of the travel system.
It's uni-sex and fairly stylish.
Cons:
The bag is tall and wide, but it isn't very deep. It's very easy to lose items under inner pockets. It's also hard to fit larger items like toys or snack coolers.
Bottles don't have their own place to go.
The two side pockets are too small to put anything useful in.
The top zipper pockets fill easily and block the opening of the bag.
The magnet snaps fall open easily if the bag is turned upside down.
The bag is ok for quick trips to the store or park, but I wouldn't bring it along for a day trips or multiple errands.
