::After I wrote this and read it I realized it sounds like a commercial the way I describe the features... I don't work for this company or have any kind of store that could sell this bag, etc. I just like it and have used it for many years--b/f this bag I had about 5 different diaper bags::


The last time we were at WDW we saw a lady with a stroller with the BEST bag and after I saw her two or three different times I asked what it was and where she got it.

I came home and ordered TWO--online b/c they weren't everywhere at that time. A single and a double and LOVE both. I think they are called the Duo and Double Duo.

They have these little short tabs so that the shoulder strap can come off and make short loops which means it can hang right there at the TOP of the stroller which makes EVERYTHING so easy to get to. I really do like it. When you aren't using the short tabs they tuck into their own little pockets on the inside so they aren't in the way.

It was a SKIPHOP bag and had two pockets on the outside, cell pocket on one end, a water bottle pocket/mesh place on the other end, two fab zipper profile pockets on the top of the bag (you'll have to check it out or look online to see what I mean), a great inside with good pockets there.

There is a place for everything and nothing gets lost.

Now the good news: SKIPHOP sells basically the same bags at Target for less. I don't really care that I paid more for my bags as I have used and used them (and abused them, but they still look brand new).
 
We use our Skip Hop daily here! We have a few different bags.

We have a Skip Hop Duo in Red that we never use. LOL I don't want to get it dirty and I love my other much more. The Duo is stiffer and narrower than the Spark.

We also have the Skip Hop Spark in Green Camo (the one you can buy in Target for 1/2 price and is just like the Duo but better IMO) that I LOVE!! Don't know why but I just love the color (and I have 2 girls LOL) and I actually think it is nicer than the higher priced Duo we have.
The Spark is roomier, has shoulder straps so that we can keep the messenger strap off in order to snap it on our strollers, and has better organization.

Plus I just bought 2 Skip Hop Saddle Bags...Ice Blue and Mushroom...to use on our stroller for our next WDW trip. Most likely the Duo and Spark will stay home. I don't bring either to WDW.
 
I have the duo too!! It will be on our stroller in August! It is a great bag and travels with us often.

Oh, it won't get dirty! I've used mine everywhere and it looks brand new (we travel quite a bit and have lugged it on and off planes, trains and automobiles).

My husband was in the Army for a while so we're not permitted ANYTHING that is camo, ha ha. When you live it, it's not as much of a novelty I guess. He also swears he'll never drive a Hummer for that reason.

I'm glad to hear the Target ones are just as sturdy. Why pay more, right? I did get the Skip Hop changing wallet at Target and it seems to be great as well.

Yeah, the Target ones are just as nice for the price. Or for me, better! LOL Just seem that the Duo is stiffer and not as pliable. Plus it has the cell phone pocket which we don't use while the Spark instead has a second bottle holder. The Spark also has four inside pockets instead of the Duo's two.

But the big thing for other than being roomier and more stuffable, is the fact that it has shoulder straps. I can just keep the messenger strap off at all times so that it can be quickly hooked to a stroller if needed and then still have the shoulder straps for carrying it when needed. It would drive me nuts to have to keep reattaching and unattaching the messenger strap on the Duo.

If you check out DisneyShopping.com, they recently added a few Personalized Diaper Bags that look very similar to Skip Hops! :wizard:

Yes, that does slow me down with the Duo. The Double Duo does have the shoulder straps AND the long strap that can be removed to do the little stroller loops. I use the short loops for the grocery, too, to hang it from the cart. I switch back and forth from the Duo to the Double Duo depending on what we're doing. But I've found that I don't go back to my other diaper bags anymore. I do, sometimes, just use the diaper walled and through it in my Vuitton Cabas Piano.

Oh, you're right! The Disney ones do look like them a bit, huh?

I never thought to hang it from the cart! I always just put it in the back and then it gets buried behind all the groceries or whatever. Good idea! LOL Although now I very rarely take the baby to the store alone while doing any major shopping since she now refuses to sit in the cart anymore. :sad2:
 
I love my Skip Hops. The Duo and the Saddlebags will be coming with us to WDW.
The Target ones are def. NOT the same quality as the regular ones though.
 
I absolutely *LOVE* the one I got from Target, it's the perfect size and attaches easily to the stroller!
