PishPosh Mommy Pull-String CarryAll – Leave The Diaper Bag At Home

As a mom of a toddler I have been through several diaper bags. When my oldest first came along I had bought one of those cheap diaper bags you can get at any department store. It did the job for about 6 months or so before the zipper broke on it. The bag itself was pretty hideous, but it had a ton of pockets and places to store everything. The next bag I had was actually the one I got at the hospital and it was from one of the formula companies of course. It was just a generic black bag with absolutely no style to it.

By the time my son was 2 I had stopped using the diaper bags all-together and started stuffing things in my purse instead because it was just more convenient.

Now I have a toddler and a newborn and still no diaper bag. As it turns out, my hospital has finally started encouraging mothers to nurse and no longer hands out diaper bags from the formula companies.  As a nursing mom I thought that was great, except.. I really needed a new diaper bag!

Not long ago I was asked to review the PishPosh Mommy carryall just like the one below.

To be honest, I actually thought it was going to be a lot bigger than it was. When I received it I was quite surprised.  It’s basically a cotton bag with a ton of pockets inside and out where you can organize everything.  You then close it with the pull-string and pop it in your purse or non-diaper bag. This means you can use it with most of the bags you already have and you don’t have to look silly carrying a big gaudy diaper bag around.

What I did was store it with the basics that I need for my toddler and my newborn when I leave the house.

A bottle of juice, a jar of apples, extra underwear, an emergency pull-up, an extra pair of pants, washcloth, wipes, diapers, diaper cream, pacifier, lotion, bottle, nose bulb, extra outfit, granola bar for mom and my blackberry.

You can see that even though it’s not that big it can hold quite a bit. Here it is sitting inside my Passchal Uptown bag which I rarely get a chance to use because I’m always carrying around other people’s things! Unfortunately even closed it was a bit too much for that bag due to the height 🙁

So I broke out my trusty Baby Phat bag that I won last Christmas that I absolutely loooove. It fit like a charm with room to spare! The liner of the carryall even matched my bag. I wanted to show you this picture so you can get an idea of how big my bag is. That’s the seat of my office chair so as you can see, it’s pretty large.

 

Here you can see that there’s plenty of room left inside for other things I may need. It worked out great with this bag because the bag itself only has a couple of small pockets inside.

Summary

I love the carryall. It works like a charm to store all of our things and to keep everything organized. If you’re a mom you know how long it takes to get ready and make sure you have everything. For me the carryall is perfect because I can keep it “stocked” at all times. This way I can always have it ready to go and it doesn’t take me an hour to search the house! There’s no reason it wouldn’t be perfect for someone who’s not a mom as well. There is nothing about it that makes it look like it’s only for moms. I also love the fact that the fabric (minus the lining) is 100% cotton. It’s washable and it’s very well made.
