California Innovations Baby Sling Bag - Black

"great bag, still using it 8 months later, still looks like new. fits A LOT more than you think."

"I bought this bag, not wanting to carry a large diaper bag, and for my husband to be confortable carrieng it too. At fist when the baby was a new born, it wasnt much room to carry that much milk around in the bag. But since my son started using the zippy cup and drinking regular milk, THIS BAG HAS BEEN SO HELPFULL!!! With him being so active, THE BAG DOES NOT GET IN THE WAY AT ALL. I took this bag on our first family vacations to Cancun, it worked perfect in the airline!!! Hands free, all his stuff was in order, even our passports were in there. I recommend this bag for 9 months and up."

"It's small, very hard the get things out of this bag."

"I requested a backpack type of diaper bag as a gift suggestion when we had our second child (8 years after the first). We had been using a tote type which was terribly awkward & bulky for us (and I found I didn't use most of the space anyhow). This was particularly true with our new child as he was on oxygen which I also had to carry around. While there isn't a lot of extra room for tons of toys, it fits our needs for the most part, although I often carry a small insulated lunch bag for extra bottles when I'm out for an extended period of time. I can fit in a fairly large health organizer, lots of diapers, receiving blankets, a change of clothes, a toy or two, a bottle warmer, a small thermos, soothers, diaper cream, wipes, etc. The only time it is too small is if we'll be out on an overnight trip or perhaps a full day when he may need more toys. For a mom on the go who is walking the other child back and forth to school and running to countless medical appointments, etc. this has been absolutely great. The design is quite functional for me (yes, it can be tight to get stuff out of the side zippered area, but I think all backpacks are harder that way than a tote). The change pad at the back is very convenient, and the pockets/extra bag are also handy. The cell phone adjustable & removable case is also handy. I don't use a purse any longer but carry "my stuff" in a fanny pack. With the baby in a front carrier (this is possible, just hook the carrier and backpack on before you add the baby!) I am hands-free to deal with other things. You can also remove the pack while wearing the baby on the front though it isn't the easiest to do. I have not yet had any problems with the quality (have had for 4 months)except when I accidentally shut the car door on the buckle yesterday (it was hanging down and I was in a hurry and didn't notice on time). This is a problem in that I can't seem to find a wide enough replacement buckle at this point. I am going to see if the manufacturer can send another or will look at repairing with a different metal system (since I am a clutz!). I find the backpack to be quite comfortable and easy on my back."

"I bought one of these in 2003 when I had my first child. As I was searching for a replacement for the giant diaper bag for newborns, I tried a few others (namely the JJ Cole Logic Sling bag) and none worked.



I stumbled across this one by accident. I was thrilled to get it again. The thermal pocket is large enough for a bottle or a sippy with a cap. The bottom compartment fits a full package of wipes, a few plastic bags and ointment. The inside holds snacks, 4 diapers, a bib and a change of clothes.



I use it every day. It adjusts for my size and my husbands. It is easy to get on and off and it doesn't shift when you bend over to pick up the pacifier for the 30th time. I can also swing it forward to grab out my wallet, keys or a burp cloth for quick wipes of noses or drool.



I highly recommend this to every person who is wanting to ditch the foofy diaper bag."

"My husband and I work opposite shifts and do the baby swap in the middle, so this bag gets quite a lot of use every day, even on our days off. There are so many positive things I can say about this diaper bag, I don't know where to start. It's just the right size to do the job, not too big or small, not too many or too few pockets, it is very adjustable and comfortable, and it's not overpriced or too expensive. Not to mention, my husband loves the bag and is not the least bit embarrased to carry it everywhere. It's amazing just how much it holds; a change of clothing, a spare blanket, six to ten diapers(depending on size), container of wipies(sm), all the necessities (therometer, balmex, baby tylonol, binki, etc), 2 six oz bottles, lots of dry formula, several sixteen oz bottles of water, and more. I've read some of the reviews that say it's too small, we can get a full days worth of items in it. It's durable and well constructed, we've had it for six months now and no problems. It is so easy put on, one handed, even while holding the baby. One thing I don't like about conventional diaper bags is that it is always slipping off my shoulder, not a problem with this bag. It fits nicely into the stroller. I origionally bought it because you could wear it and a baby carrier at the same time and be quite comfortable. I highly recommend this bag."

"I have been using this bag for 8 months, traveling on car trips, grocery runs, and daily daycare hustle and bustle. It is easy to carry and easy to get into while carrying an infant. It always has just what I need in it. Extra Clothes in the bottom, 4 diapers+wipes in internal small slot pockets, front pockets hold lotion, balmex, shampoo, soap, sunscreen, washcloth, insurance card, and anything else that needs to go in like medicines or comb, in the big middle pocket - extra 4 oz bottle for emergency drink/juice, small cup, 2 cloth diapers, jar of food, spoon, toy, empty water bottle for mom, extra bib, and then in the back with the mesh and changing pad - I can place up to four additional 8 oz bottles with powder formula in there besides the one that is ready to go in the thermal bottle holder....also can wear it while baby is in Bjorn.....no signs of wear and tear yet....great bag and hubby loves it too...It also is easy to pick out of a crowd of diaper bags at daycare...."

"I waited too long to buy this product becuase I was going off of everyone elses opinions. This bag is great!I can throw it over my shoulder or wear it on my back. It has a padded strap so it doesn't cut into my shoulder. I put my things in the front zipper pockets keys, wallet, lip gloss etc. My 14 month old son gets the rest of this bag. (love inside compartments for his clothes and hand wipes) His sippy cup fits perfectly in the mesh part where my water would go and I it holds everything we need on the inside. His diapers etc go in the bottom zipper compartment and the toys go inside the bag. He is able to pull out his cup when he needs it. Thanks Baby Inovations for such a great product. By the way we have tried many other bags, bottom line all bags wear out. This one is a great price for what you get."

"This bag has enough zipper compartments and pouches for all my stuff. I fit a changing pad, blanket, nursing cover, 6 diapers, plastic travel wipe container, small bottle of baby powder, crib sheet, and 2 outfits all in the MAIN zipper compartment.



I put my keys and wallet in one of the outside compartments.



I put nursing pads, kotex pads, snacks for myself, and small containers that held formula in the very bottom compartment.



The insulated bottle pouch will hold 2 (4oz.) bottles, or 1 big bottle. It kept them cold/warm for a couple of hours.



I put pacifiers, burp rags, and toys in the mesh pouches for easy access.



I preferred this bag over the expensive designer bag I got at my shower!"

"This bag is great for everyday use. It has multiple compartments to store everything. It has smaller pockets that are easy to get to for money, cell phone, and hand sanitizer. I don't even have to carry a purse when I use this bag. It's not big enough for longer trips but has just enough room to hold enough bottles and diapers and clothes to keep it from getting too heavy. I like it because it doesn't look like a diaper bag. It's not frilly and girly and Daddy isn't afraid to use it. It hangs nicely on the handle of my snap n go stroller. The only con is the mesh pockets in the big compartment. If you stuff too many diapers in them they rip. They could have used a more durable material for the pockets."
