Right now I carry the FREE similac bag I got from the hospital. It is the perfect size. But I would like something with style! I see all the measurements but that doesn't really help like pictures of a woman actually carrying the bags. I like the packabe, be all and be small. But don't know which to get.

Please help.

Thanks

Hi There

we did a mini photo shoot...well sort of...I grabbed a very cute fashion model that is 5'4" and stuck some bags on her. see below ....it should give you a good idea of what you're looking for....let us know if this helps! FYI the first bag is the BeAll in both regular and messenger style. The next bag is the BeSmart, and the bottom bag is the BeSmall.





thanks for checking in and getting us to post more info out there.

Here is a link to the packabe in action...

Well, I ordered the Be Small in Black and bubblegum from LittleDudesandDivas. I'm hoping it is the right size for me. I have a 6 y.o. who I carry her diabetic supplies for and my 6 week old. I only carry diapers wipes a change of clothes. She is breastfed so I don't carry bottles. And of course my stuff, wallet, small digital camera lipstick.

Anyway, I'll get back to you. Hopefully, I don't need to exchange for the Be All. I had the Fleurville Mothership and it was too BIG. So if you be all is about that size then the be small should be good.

Thanks

I'm curious to know how you like it.....the Be All is smaller than the Mothership (most things are) and the Be Small is a lot smaller. However, the Be Small holds a lot more than people think. Based on your descriptions of what you carry, you should be fine with the Be Small.

Well, I recieved the be small yesterday. I have to say it is a beautiful bag, the way the material feels is great, it's lightweight and well made. It is the perfect size for a small diaper bag. I can fit all the stuff in it but I took into consideration that winter is coming and I will be carrying thicker clothes and You always want a little space in case you have to carry something extra so I will be exchanging it for the Be All. Since you said that the Be All is a lot smaller than the mothership. I will be buying the Be Small when my baby is out of diapers. By the way the changing pad is soooooo soft.

Thanks
I can't wait for my Be All to arrive.

Well I recieved my Be All and I loaded it up with all my stuff. I love the bag. The strap is a good length I am 5'2" and don't find it to be too long.
I can see what people talk about with the front flap pocket everything being tossed around when you flip it open and also making the bag appear over-stuffed if you put too much in it. But I will be using that pocket for little things. I will be using it as my everyday bag. And will be purchasing the be small when she is older.


Thanks

you are a smart gal!
yes-the front mommy pocket on the be all really is intended for smaller things

I too purchased the Mothership Fluerville bag. Came across the Packabe and fell head over heels in the store! Literally went home dreaming about the bag, the feel, the look, the functionality....The next day, I drove one hour just to return my Fluerville bag and was happy to do so! The Mothership is a cargo wherehouse and the Ju Ju Be is a cool condo. Ladies don't break your back lugging all that bag about! The Packabe is perfect.

Wow! Another smart gal!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

I have to chime in that I hate the mothership with a passion. It feels like I'm carrying 2 extra people in addition to my son, I sold it the day I got it!! I dont see the big deal about this bag at all-I think it's just popular because it was on Oprah.

I completely agree with the comments made about the Mothership. I have one sitting in my bedroom, completely untouched. It arrived 2 months ago and I thought it quite ridiculous. It's like a big shiny shell. Because it has no organisation, you can't begin to think where to put things in it and I don't know where i'd be going to take such an enormous bag with me. I need to get it on ebay as soon as possible because it annoys me to look at it - especially when i've got my fantastic Be Small which I adore.
I've never known another website to have such a fantastic forum. No wonder people love your bags - its almost as though you're part of a family when you own one. Sounds silly but that is how you make us feel - so thank you so much for offering this service, its one of a kind.

we do think of you as family for sure....especially when you feed us with such nice compiments....we're here to listen so chime in with any extra ideas you have.....good night

I don't know why anyone would buy a mothership when they could get a Be All or Packabe-to me they store the same amount, look much better, and dont feel so darn heavy!
