Ju Ju Be - BeTween - Lush Paisley - Diaper Bag Decide Now

I purchased this bag because I wanted a smaller bag I could use for quick trips out with my 4 year old and 1 year old. It is well organized and there is a place for everything you need for a few hours out - diapers, wipes, spare onesie, your wallet & keys, sunglasses, a small snack. The print on this bag is just gorgeous/stunning in real life. I did have a few issues with the bag. First, it arrived with a strange chemical smell, a smell that did not go away after a few days after being removed from plastic wrap. My second issue is with the side elastic: I placed my son's 7 oz. Playtex sippy in the side bottle holder (which is pretty short for most bottles and sippies) and within an HOUR the side elastic started to give out and snap, started to unravel. Very disappointed. Third, the changing pad is very short - probably best for kids under 9 months. Fourth, the bag was heavier than expected, which wasn't a huge issue because the shoulder padding is really nice. But the fifth issue is what killed my interest in this bag. I washed the bag on delicate (in hopes to get rid of the horrible chemical smell), per manufacturer instructions. Cold water. New machine. When I took the bag out, I noticed that the front pocket area had a small rip. I was able to repair, but I don't think I can recommend this bag with all the issues i had with it. I am also not a fan of Teflon and other toxic fabric treatments. But it is a very pretty and well organized bag otherwise! Get more detail about Ju Ju Be - BeTween - Lush Paisley - Diaper Bag.
