Skip Hop Bento Diaper Tote Bag Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received this bag last week and after spending weeks reading reviews and finally deciding on this bag, I really REALLY wanted to love it. Unfortunately, I did not.
Pros:
- It is made from great quality materials--durable handles, strong inner/outer material, and smooth zippers.
- Shuttle clips are GREAT for use on stroller or shopping cart to keep the bag out of your way and it keeps it in the perfect spot to unzip easily and access whatever you need inside the bag.
Cons:
- The bottom insulated compartment MUST be filled for the bag to stay upright. In fact, the included 'mealtime kit' was not enough to fill this compartment completely. I also had to attach a bottle of water to the 'mealtime kit' to actually fill the compartment enough to keep this top-heavy bag upright.
- The outer insulated bottle compartments do not properly fit extra-wide bottles (as advertised). The hard plastic bottom of the main compartment (also the top of the insulated lower compartment) extends too far out on both sides of the bag. If you place your hand in the bottle compartment you can feel the plastic bottom sticking out into this pocket. It sticks far enough into the insulated bottle compartment that you can actually set the bottle comfortably on it and it will stay right there. I even thought I would just use the bottle compartments like that (setting the bottles only halfway down the bottle pocket on the plastic 'shelf' rather than all the way down to the bottom of the pocket) but when you place two 9-oz. bottles at the top of an already top-heavy bag, it makes it nearly impossible to keep the bag upright. Besides, even if keeping the bag upright wasn't an issue, there is no reason to have this size bottle compartment if you can only use the top half. When you shove the bottle past the plastic 'shelf' that is sticking into the compartment, it causes it to buckle in the middle of the bag's main compartment and anything items you have put in the main compartment gets jumbled all over because the bottom of the bag is now curved up in the middle rather than being straight across as it is when there are no bottles in the insulated pockets. (It's also worth noting, this plastic bottom is sewn into the bag, so it can't be simply removed to solve this problem.) This is an issue I would overlook on a cheaper bag, but at almost $100, I would not expect such an obvious design flaw.
