I love JJBs!!!

I have a BeTween and Be Spicy but got a BFF for these babies. I'm excited about the backpack ability... with 2 babies and a 3yo I think I'll need it.

It's packed for the hospital right now & fits lots of stuff, but I can't comment on its every day use as a diaper bag just yet. I do have to say that it's SO easy to access, especially compared to my Spicy.

I have that same PPB bag and love it. DH surprised me with it right after I had DD. It is a great size

I have the Jujube BFF. I love it. Even DH likes it. He has commented about what a great bag it is.

My DD is 10 weeks old so it gets a lot of use. The only time it was full was when I packed it for the hospital. It holds a ton of stuff and keeps it organized.

I have the Penelope Peabottom bag and love it. I went through three llbean bags before finding the ppb at pottery barn. It is great quality and works well even with twins.

i have never used a ppb bag so I cannot say for sure, but i'd probably go with that one.

ju ju be bags are so cute and functional but the material makes them SO heavy! The bag is heavy before you even get anything into it!! I ended up selling mine on ebay after I spent a small fortune on it just because I couldn't stand the weight once it was all packed up.

I have a Ju Ju Be Be Prepared - it's big but we cloth diaper and really need the space.

I've never noticed the bag being heavy by itself, and really like it - the quality is fantastic, definitely notice a difference in the zippers, material, etc.

That said, no idea about the other one!

I have both a ppb boxy backpack and multiple JuJube bags, the be all, the be prepared and the packabe (which is awesome for Disney BTW).

If I had to choose one, I'd go with the JuJube. The ppb bags are pretty and they have nice cache, but they really can be black holes, stuff goes in and then its really hard to find. I also don't like how dinky the changing pad is, but my main complaint is how hard they are to clean. I have a glazed version, which is nice, but still, if you spill anything on the inside, it is a total pain in the butt. I had an incident with an applesauce container and despite my best efforts there still is a small stain on the bottom. If you are going to keep your ppb pristine, and use it only occasionally, this will not be a worry.

One of the reason I love juju bes so much is that they are total workhorses. You can use them and really put them through their paces and they still look really good. When they get dirty, you can just toss them in the washing machine (awesomeness!) I also love how many pockets there are and how easy it is to organize and find your stuff. Its a really user friendly bag.

I've steered many of my mommy friends towards JuJu bes and they have all been really happy with the choice.
