Diaper Bag Friday: Love Packin' my Packabe

Sometimes, we need a little pick-me-up, and as a bag lover, I've been known to look to my bags. Standing out amongst the solid browns, pinks and blues is my JuJuBe Packabe diaper bag in Perky Perennials. This bag is screaming "spunky for summer!"

JuJuBe has a great concept--they created several bags and didn't seem to miss a beat. All JuJuBe bags have a Teflon coating on the exterior, not only are they waterproof, but they are stain and spill resistant. And the interior lining is waterproof as well, and a bright or light color, thus no black hole.

The changing pads are probably the nicest I've used. The fabric matches the bag, and sandwiched inside is a memory foam, so that the kids are (semi)comfortable during their changes.

Did I mention that JuJuBe thought about everything? All of their bags have Thinsulate which keeps hot, hot and cold, cold. And the pockets... lets just say there are more pockets than even I know what to do with, including an entire mommy section with zippered and mesh pockets, picture slots and a LONG key clip. And they heard our wishes--no velcro! Just very strong magnets that work in multiple ways.

I've been carrying the Packabe for several weeks, and I keep coming back to it. Partly because of the fun colors, but more for the function. The bag is SO stuffable. I love that I was packing two stuffed diapees and wipees in the main section, plus pajamas for both kids one night last week. Late that night, after changing the kids into their pajamas, I was able to stuff both boys' clothing, including sneakers, into the main section. That's a lot of stuff! The mommy pocket is fantastic. I'm no longer losing my keys because there's a super long key strap, and the keys can also attach to the magnets--double the help! I keep my pretty necklace in the zippered section, and there's a cell holder and several other small pockets.

The back of the bag fits the amazing changing pad, but has additional room for books or magazines.

All this, and the Packabe is convertible! For the longest time I was carrying it as a messenger, different because it is taller than wide. It took a bit of work to figure out, but when I determined how to convert it to a backpack, I surprised myself by becoming a backpack gal afterall! (There are instructions on JuJuBe's website).

JuJuBe's products include 6 bags, including Daddy Bags, as well as a variety of accessories like brag books, paci pods and snack capsules.

Did it pass my pop quiz? Yes! Making me a happy teacher!
