When I was diaper bag hunting, I was looking for a bag that was big enough to hold newborn and my toddler's things in, one that didn't look like a diaper bag and stylish to carry around. I didn't want one that had too many little pockets that my stuff can get lost in and also no velcro!
I do like this bag but must admit it's not the perfect diaper bag for me. It's a simple bag but it does hold everything I need and I've found ways to make it work for me.
Here are some of the things that I love and some things that the bag could improve on if you're interested in purchasing an Eliz-A-baby bag:
What I love:
- it's a lightweight bag
- the nylon material makes it easy to clean, just throw in the washer
- wide and deep outside pockets with magnetic closure makes it easy and quiet to open/close
- has pockets on the inside of bag to organize things and a also zippered pocket
- comes with detachable and adjustable crossbody strap
- bag unzips open very wide
- does not look like a typical diaper bag, bag can be used as gym/travel bag after baby
- available in
pretty prints orsolid colors - comes with a matching changing pad
- bag is very big, can hold a lot of things
- bag does not stand well on its own when set on floor so it can get saggy if you aren't carrying much in it or get bulky and fat if you overstuff it
- inside signature black and white MJ lining makes it hard to see inside pockets easily
- no stroller grips...but it does have d-rings on both sides of bag so you can buy a pair separately and attach it onto the bag
- the plushy nylon material makes the bag look bulky even if there isn't much in the bag
- double straps are not padded, digs into my shoulder when bag is packed full
- changing pad is included but is very small
- no protective feet at bottom of bag so the nylon might get scratched up if you aren't careful when placing bag on ground or rough surface

How many inside pockets can you see?
This is what I meant when I said it's hard to find the inner pockets!
It blends in with the rest of the inside of bag, which can make finding smaller things difficult.

Everything inside the diaper bag. It holds a lot of stuff! Not pictured are my son's bottles and sippy cup, which I would keep in the bag's side bottle pockets.
This diaper bag was purchased with my own money. I did not receive compensation for writing this review. I am not affiliated with Marc Jacobs or Nordstrom (I wish!). This review was written with my honest opinion.
