Diaper Bag Review

Finding a diaper bag is harder than you think!  After all, you need a bag that is cute enough to carry everywhere you go but one that is functional enough to actually use.  I looked at Target, Walmart, Babies R Us, JCPenney, and other stores in the mall but couldn't find one that I thought was cute.  After all, your diaper bag becomes your purse once you have a baby so you need a cute one!  Here is my criteria for a diaper bag:
- Stylish (so I'll want to carry it around everywhere)
- Doesn't cost an arm and a leg
- Lots of organizational pockets and space
- Includes a changing pad
- Comfortable to wear/carry everywhere

Unfortunately I didn't have the money to get one of the Petunia Pickle Bottom bags (see note at the bottom of this post).  I had my work cut out for me to find a cute diaper bag that didn't cost an arm and a leg.  I did a lot of research a found that I really like JJ Cole's diaper bags.  They aren't super popular so not everyone has it but they have way cute styles and the best part is the prices (prices range from $60 to $120).  But I was also able to find a promo code for 10% off AND free shipping.  The promo code is: JJBUNDLE and if you spend $49 or more on their site then you get free shipping.  Here is the link and some pictures of what they have to offer:

This is the diaper bag I ended up getting.  I love that it has a padded strap, stroller attachments, lots of organizational pockets, and a matching changing pad.  This bag is $60 without the discount.


Here is another one that I really like ($109):


This is another one of my favorites ($120):

My older sister and sister-in-law both have Petunia Pickle Bottom diaper bags and I would have LOVED to buy one of those but it was a little out of my price range (prices range from $130 to $760, w/out shipping).  They are expensive but they are so adorable and are the Lexus' of diaper bags.  If you have the money to buy a Petunia Pickle Bottom diaper bag then do it!  They are so cute, functional, and I haven't read one complaint about them.  They also come with a coordinating changing pad.
