Good Buy: Bugaboo Frog Diaper Bag vs Petunia Pickle bottom Diaper Bag


Like a busy bee, I like to stock up good bargins even I don't need it at that moment of my life. One good example is diaper bags. I got the PPB tote almost four years ago coz I love the design and pattern of it. At that time, we just got married and still haven't talk about our baby plan. I just couldn't pass on an good deal like that. We also got the Bugaboo Frog backpack way before we bought the bee. Again, it was on clearance sales and we love the Bugaboo Frog stroller. Same as the Built tote, we got couple of them beacuse we know they will become handy some day. Um...keep you from getting jealous, I am not going to disclose the price. :)

Well, here's how we plan to use them.
  • Petunia Pickle Bottom touring tote - Suit for daily use. I guess it will be my purse for couple years. It's very pretty, compact, and got 3 straps options.  Pair it with the BUILT thirsty tote will save some room to store other things. 
  • Bugaboo Frog Backpack - Good for longer shopping trips and hubby to carry. There are many mixed reviews but it could clip on to the bee and save us from buying a cup holder. The stroller won't tip over even when 5 books in the bag and the seat is empty. For best practice, we advise to put something in the underbasket to keep the stroller balance.  
  • For overnight trips, I have my eyes on the Mia Bossi Reese. Before I spot a good deal on it (I missed the one from Gilt Group), I guess I could use the big chanel tote or the gucci travel tote and rest my mind on the diaper bag shopping.  [7/4: Gap has a July4 sales on the Mia Bossi Reese for $130 after tax.  Oh! It's so tempting, but I didn't get it coz two diaper bags should be enough and I truly don't want to carry a big bag around. Thus, I saw another Mia Bossi bag in BabyBliss in person and was not impressed with its quality. Not sure whether it is the same as Reese, but my BBP is so good looking and sturdy.]
