The Scenario For Needing a Petunia Pickle Bottom Diaper Bag

Imagine this scenario - we take our kids out for that little bit of sunshine and outdoor fun. Then imagine the typical baby-outing happenings in that scenario: baby needs changing, baby needs feeding, baby needs wiping, your phone rings, you need that hand sanitizer, you need to find the pacifier, your phone rings again, baby needs feeding (again), and finally, you need to find your car keys! Imagine further that you carry those bulky carry-all totes with those cute animal designs in pastel where you have to sift through all the debris of baby necessities to find what you need. Chances are there will be times when you have to unpack almost the entire bag just to get that teeny-weeny item. I have never known a single mother who has not experienced this sanity-threatening occurrence at least once in their motherhood lifetime. We mothers love our kids and that's a fact and together with the exhilarating satisfaction and the personal affirmation that go with it, we also accept the stress. And fumbling through a jumbled up diaper bag like your life depended on it is stressful! No one would look like a million dollars when they're searching through a black hole of a diaper bag. You only need to pull your hair and the picture is complete.

Can we then have fun outings and travels with our kids without the stressful scuffle and shuffle and still look chic and fashionable? Yes, indeed! Thanks to Petunia Pickle Bottom diaper bags, the days of the traditional, shapeless and so-obviously-diaper-bags where everything intermingles itself with the entire contents are over!

The Scout Collection comes in black and brown buffalo distressed leather and felt of heathered gray, heathered black or heathered olive green colors.

The brilliant functionality of the PPB diaper bags comes in their plethora of pocket and compartments inside and outside the bag. Each bag has water-resistant interior, 2-4 pocket for baby bottles, pocket for baby wipes, creams and ointments, detachable changing pad, key clips, and other organizational pockets that make them perfect for those small baby necessities for grabbing on the go. They are an organizer's dream. The zip-out changing station keeps changing pads neat and easy to access. Their shoulder straps stays put on your shoulder and can be effortlessly attached to strollers. They are fully-compartmentalized bags which makes fumbling through baby items in a hurry a thing of the past.

Petunia Pickle Bottom Diaper Backpack Review

The Petunia Pickle Bottom backpack is a unique diaper bag that is great bag for a going out for a day or two. It's small enough to take out for just a day, but it also big enough to carry enough of the things you need for a trip that may last a weekend. It's also got a lot of great features for packing it up and taking it with you on a short trip or a weekend stay somewhere.

It has enough space for the accessories that are needed for a longer trip. The large main pocket can carry a lot of diapers, wipes, creams, cups, and cloth changes that are needed for a longer trip. Plus, there are plenty of pockets and compartments to store and organize the things you have to carry with you. One great feature is the fold out changing mat. If you're going on a longer trip, you may not really trust the changing stations where you're going. You can just put the bag on a hard surface, it'll stand up tall, and fold out the mat to change on.

The colors aren't a favorite for most men, but the Misty Shanghai is something that isn't too girly though. It's subtle and the grey and gold is something that men won't mind carrying around. It's designed to look fashionable for both men and women to carry around.

A couple of complaints about the bag are the price and durability. The bag feels sturdy, and can stand up straight, which is handy with the fold out changing mat that is built in to the bag. But, while the fabric feels and looks nice, it can become tattered if it's not taken care of. This may be an issue if you're not gentle with it, but with the cost of the diaper bag, you kind of expect a higher quality that can take a fair bit of abuse.

The price is another thing. Because these bags are so trendy and popular, the price is kind of high. You'll get a lot of compliments for the looks and the features, but it'll cost you a bit first. The great features, pockets, and the fold out changing mat make the Petunia Pickle Bottom Box Backpack a really great backpack, but with the durability problems, you need to make sure to take care of it, or you might end up wasting some money on it.
