I recently got to try the new (chocolate) SoYoung Bag and I must say this is definitely one I’m not ashamed to carry around town. Before this bag I had the normal type that you could grab off any shelf at your nearest Walmart or Target. It was nothing fancy and definitely not something to brag about. But when I was asked if I’d like to review this I had to say yes.
This isn’t a diaper bag really…okay it is, but it’s more than that. For one it isn’t that plastic type that you tend to hide or after years the sides crack from wear and tear. When you think of a diaper bag you think, big and bulky. When Catherine thought of a diaper bag she thought stylish and baby. She put the two together and came out with something that we could all enjoy and be proud to support around our shoulder.
The bag actually has several parts:
- suede exterior
- cell phone pouch on side of bag
- key clip so you won’t have to search later on
- My laptop and school books fit inside
- But for those that have to have a bit more room there’s an extra strap to adjust it.
- Inside is wipeable so now all those cookies and other crumbs can be cleaned up.
- There’s a side flap that’s got velcro, honestly I thought it was an easy way to change baby. I found out today it is for yoga mats to be carried in. This is perfect for moms that do this and now they won’t have to struggle with the baby.
- There’s a small bag inside, great for on the go, it’s insulated on the inside. This is perfect for bottles, medicine and baby food.
- Changing pad with micro suede material, so baby is no longer on a cold surface and it velcro shuts. 
Honestly the SoYoung bag is perfect, if I know it’s a quick trip I just toss a diaper inside the mini (insulated) bag with the changing pad and leave. I no longer have to worry and it has these cute straps that can attach to it so it makes carrying it a breeze.
It’s one of those bags that every mom can get and feel that she’s stylin too, even with the sweat pants and baby food in her hair. Do you have a bag you are proud of?
This bag looks fantastic! I have the Dash Deluxe bag from Skip Hop, and I love it! It has lots of room inside with good pockets; it’s super-sturdy; the clasps are all magnets; the side pockets are perfect for bottles; and the best part is that it has straps that hook it onto any stroller. It’s a great bag if you don’t mind wearing it on your shoulder.
Yes, I think I forgot to mention this one does have a strap that allows it to connect to the stroller. I haven’t went out on a walk yet so wouldn’t have used that part. I love this bag. Sounds like you have one you like too.
