I've always heard about Ju-Ju-Be

I've heard tons about Ju-Ju-Be bags but up till recently I had never had a chance to get my hands on one.

The first thing I have to point about about these bags are the features! They certainly do not skimp anywhere on the designs of Ju-Ju-Be bags. You wont find plastic parts, all of the bags are machine washable, and magnetic snaps replace velcro which means your bags will last much longer and you won't have to worry about them sticking or snagging your clothes.

I've been excited to try out their new Wannabe bag. It's an extremely versatile bag part back pack part tote bag, its perfect as a diaper bag, a beach bag, and personally i love it as an overnight bag! The first thing I noticed is its very generously sized 19 x 17 x 8 though I saw these dimensions before it came I really surprised me just how large it is, its more than big enough that I can fit all our essentials for an overnight trip or a day trip for both Connor and myself. Between the sheer size and what seems like endless pockets you can not only fit everything you could ever need for an outing but you can organize it all so its easy to find, which is rare. We've had several large diaper bags but my complaint always is that the bigger the bag the harder it is to find the thing you want... hey even in a small diaper bag its sometimes hard to find what you want when you need it. With all the pockets there is no excuse for loosing that pacifier as you can keep it in its own little area. The really cool part though is that there is an insulated bottle pouch, that will keep your bottles cold (or warm) on even a hot day.

There are a few really unusual features about this bag though, the most unusual one is that the bottom half of the bag opens with a zipper so if you take it to the beach you can just unzip the bottom and shake the sand out. Though I'm not much of a beach girl myself I find this VERY useful for shaking out the cookie crumbs that always seem to end up at the bottom of my diaper bags, and everywhere else as Connor thinks its cool to throw cookies or whatever else he has in his hands in my purse too. The other great features include a set of elastic traps on the front of the bag that allow you to store your towel, or for those over night trips its a great place to store your blanky. My favorite feature though is that the bag comes with two see through wet pouches (ie water proof zipper compartments) that work perfectly for storing those leaky toiletries, wet swim suits, and occasionally in a pinch a wet diaper too.

You can purchase your own Ju-Ju-Be Bag on their website, while your over there check out the other bags as well as the new Ju-Ju-Be BeLite which is great for those short trips!
