Thank you to BabyMel London for providing me with a sample, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own.

 I love being a mom.  With that being said, I don’t like looking like I’m loaded down with baby gear.  There are many days that I already feel like my hair and clothes are in major need of an upgrade because I’m sporting the mommy pony tail and spit up or finger prints on my clothes.  One product that I wanted to be able to use for my children and still be stylish is my diaper bag.  I came across the great company BabyMel London, who offers a nice array of bags and I wanted to put them to the Fashion, Function, Baby Challenge.

Now that I found a beautiful bag, I needed to make sure it was as functional and practical as it was lovely.  At the beginning of the year, we switched to cloth diapers and I have struggled ever since with fitting everything we need for any daily outings into our bag.  The cloth diapers take up more room than disposables and our previous diaper bag was falling short on the performance end of our lifestyle change.  Even though we switched to cloth, I do keep a spare disposable or two in the bag for emergencies or if the kids end up staying somewhere unexpectedly and the caregiver is uncomfortable with cloth.  So our diaper bag needs to accommodate:  1:)  Cloth Diapers,  2:)  Disposable Diapers,  3:)  Wipes,  4:)  Spare Outfit & Socks,  5:)  Wet Bag,  6:)  Plastic Bag,  7:)  Bib,  8:)  Sippy Cup,  9:)  Snacks,  10:)  Changing Pad,  11:)  Odds and Ends such as a deck of cards and a toy car in case we need distractions.

Features of the Amanda Quilted Bag Include: 

~Adjustable & Detachable Carry Handle/Strap

~Stroller Hanging Straps

~Changing Pad Included

~Built In Insulated Bottle Holder

~Many Pockets Both Inside & Out Including Zippered Pockets

~Water Resistant Lining That Easily Wipes Clean

~Lightweight

I have to say that my favorite feature of the Amanda Quilted Bag would be the stroller straps.  While all the storage pockets come in a close second, the stroller straps allow me to easily bring our diaper bag with when we are using the stroller and not take up any minimal and valuable basket space.  Not to mention, I always have a hard time cramming my diaper bags into those baskets!  Plus, the stroller straps allow me to have the diaper bag on the handle bar and close to me so I can safely carry my cell phone and money without worry.

I am happy to report that I am able to fit all my necessities into the Amanda Quilted with room to spare.  The pockets even allow me to stay somewhat organized when I’m out and about with all 4 kids.  I love that I have a pocket for my bib to be in as well but that I can grab it quickly when it’s time to eat.  I really like the quality feel of this bag and I believe it will last a long time.  The colors are beautiful and should hide the dust and dirt from daily use in between wipe downs.
