I need a nappy bag but not sure what to get. I like the messenger type ones. I'll be using cloth nappies for bub and will need spare clothing for bub and DS plus a nappy for DS and probably a drink bottle or 2 for DD and DS and also my purse and mobile. Is there anything that'll hold all that?
I treated myself to an OiOi hobo bag and It's been fantastic, particuluarly when you need to carry all the newborn paraphernalia around with you. They do a messenger style one too, but I didn't like the big flappy part, so that's why I went with the hobo one.
i have a messenger style one , but i find its getting too small for 2 sets of MCN and spare clothes and lunch box and sippy cups ... so i am looking for a back pack style ... Pity the JuJuBes arent for sale any more I LOVE THEM !!
hi there!
i was at the baby and kids expo the other day and i have to say that i LOVED the idea behind the ISOKI ones. basically you have a big proper nappy bag (i checked out the cloth nappy room...good to go!), but the seal of the deal was that it has a separate bag inside for clothes, food, etc. and all the usual suspects (ie the nappy mat, bottle thingy etc etc). it look really compact, but useful for more than one bub/toddler...
i'll be making the purchase when bub no.2 is on the way.
(i have an OIOI ATM, but not sure that it will be able to meet the differing needs of two kids IYKWIM...)
HTH
I have an Oioi leather hobo which I have been very happy with until recently when I discovered the Il Tutto leather bags... they are very stylish! Now I will have to sell my Oioi as I've just bought an Il Tutto!
I also have an Isoki one, but it's quite large. It's good for big days out, but a bit too big for everyday use I find.
oh that's good to know about the ISOKI ones....
I don't have a bub yet but I already have my OiOi bag!!!
It's a messenger style bag and it's got heaps of room and lots of pockets inside. I paid $130 for mine and there are so may different colours and styles to choose from. Check out their website!
im getting a J-J-B, Lea, you just have to know where to look.
We had a look at the oioi messenger and hobo ones and decided they werent big enough, and DH soesnt like the isoki ones.
Ok, i like the OiOi Hobo ones but still not sure if it'll be big enough?
Will you have stuff in there for DS as well as the baby, or just for the baby?
Size wise that will be important.
o oooo oooh where ? where?:
tell me !!!! :lol:
Thought I'd pop in and offer some advice. :)
The OiOi's are lovely, but the change mat, bottle warmer etc is all carried on the inside, which takes up precious space. I have an OiOi Hobo sack, but there's no way it will be big enough when this next baby comes along, especially with two in cloth. The messenger style really doesn't have a lot of room, but it does look great. The carry all style is probably your best bet if you really want to go with an OiOi.
You can still buy Ju Ju Be's, but you won't get them anywhere near the price I was selling them for... :( If you google Cheeky Bubs (they were my supplier), but be prepared for your purse to take a big hit. Lea - I still have two left, but they're similar to the style you already have. Sorry... :(
I really loved the Sugar Booger Deluxe Messenger's that I was selling. The above mentioned supplier is now stocking them too, but like I said, no-where near as good as price as I was doing them for.
Good luck with your search!
Can you take out the change mat and bottle warmer? Cause i dont need those.
DS will just have a nappy and spare pants.
Yes, you can. :) I have one OiOi Hobo left if you really want one, which I'm selling at cost. It's a woolen check. Black and white. Have a look on their site and PM if you're interested.
I had an OiOi CarryAll which was great - except that it had plastic zips, which eventually broke - didn't take kindly to being routinely stuffed to the seams. Loved it though.
Hated the messenger one I got, because if you're trying to get to things one handed, the flap keeps falling down.
Now have an Isoki one (without the carry-all style straps, just the one big long strap), and I love that, the downside to that is that it's made of canvas so it's HEAVY (Falguni DID warn me!). But, considering I have 2 kids and pack like I'm travelling overseas when I'm really headed to the shops, any bag is going to end up heavy. :p It's got metal zips, so should work out tougher, and I talked to the owner who said that if anything goes wrong to bring it back to them, cos they don't want unhappy customers.
I also unzip the bottom off the Isoki if I want it to be lighter, and keep the nappies in the main section of the bag, in one of the separate bags.
Oh, and I use cloth nappies, and the Isoki, and OiOi CarryAll fitted nappies for both boys just fine.
Let us know what you end up with! I love bags. :D
Nother fan of the oioi Hobo.
I have the zebra print and it's fantastic.
Will fit all required stuff no prob....though I more of a travel light kinda gal.
Just had a look at the OiOi website...they have leather Hobos! Drooooling over the green, which I would buy if I was rich. :D And I like the Hobo Sacks too! They'd be perfect if they had tough zips!
aher fan of the Oioi bags here :D cannot fault them.
Hi,
I have bought one of the leather OiOi bags in Orange, and it is beautiful. I got it when I bought all my nursery furniture, so got about $70 off the retail price, which brought it down to about $209. Still expensive, but it is lovely, and not as heavy as the Isoki- I wanted one of those until I picked it up, they weigh a ton empty.
I would normally buy a new handbag every 12- 18 months so I figure this is the substitue that I will use as both baby baby and handbag.
You need to buy something you will be happy to use for 2-3 years.
For short outings I bought an Isoki clutch change pad with a pocket for small wipes pack and a nappy and bib. Got it at the Parent & baby expo for $15 so rapt with a bargain there!

Hi, I'm new to this site. I found this thread on nappy bags whilst trawlling the net for the perfect bag! I guess it's an old thread but I hope someone is still reading? I was all set to buy the OiOi Hobo but then found out about Jujube here. Now I'm all confused as the leather OiOi Hobo looks lovely but the Jujube Be All seems so much more practical. My big conundrum is the change mat (do I even need one for a 13 month old?!) and how much room it takes up in the bag. With the OiOi I'm pretty sure it goes in the main compartment. Does anyone know whether there is a separate pocket for the change mat on the Jujube? I think that would swing it for me. Don't want my whole bag taken up by a change mat! Hope someone can help me decide. Thanks.
I've got no idea Psos, but, with my OiOi, I actually used a different change mat that I could fold up even smaller. So, you don't necessarily have to use the one that comes with your bag, I just got a little cheapy one that did the job just fine.
For a 13 month old, I think a change mat (or even a flat nappy would do it), would give you some peace of mind if you're changing at someone else's house and it's a poopy one. I think I'd be very nervous changing a messy one on someone else's carpet or something without a change mat...
While I'm here, may as well say that I'm still loving my Isoki, I don't even find it that heavy, maybe Falguni crams in more than I do, or maybe she's just a big sook. :p
Hi Nelle
Thanks for replying. You're right about the change mat. We rarely have any little accidents anymore but you can bet the first time I ventured out without a change mat it would all turn ugly. I actually have an unpadded change mat thing from my Gr8x bag (the Baby Traveller - I've found it great for a newborn but kind of annoying for an older baby/toddler in case anyone is wondering) so perhaps that would do. Mmm. Meanwhile my husband is sick of me not making my mind up. 'Just go and buy an expensive nappy bag already' he says. I love him. :)
