Ju Ju be is a brand that I stumbled across while I was looking for a Petunia bag and I fell in LOVE with this brand! Here are a few reasons why:
- Teflon ... so stains don't stick.
- AgION Antimicrobial Linings ... kills germs, mold, mildew, fungus, bacteria, and other bad stuff.
- Crumb Drains ... bye-bye mess!
- Metal Hardware ... we don't trust any of the cheap plastic stuff.
- Light-Colored Linings ... you can actually see what's inside; it's not just a big black hole in there.
- Machine Washable ... air dry.
- Quick reach pocket for cell phone.
- 2 exterior insulated bottle pockets … with Thinsulate by 3M. Keep it warm? Keep it cold? Sure!
I had to get one of their bags for sure because they are just so functional! Many moms love their fun prints, but they also carry some neutral print options for those moms who don't want to have a bag that really stands out and says "Diaper Bag!" Ju Ju Be just came out with some great new classy prints for their legacy collection. If you would like to see one click here.
This particular bag has been with me the longest because it is so functional and it is so nice to have a big tote bag just in case I will be carrying more than usual. I have used this bag for church, for swimming, for the beach, for road trips and I love that it can fit everything we need with room to spare. Sometimes I know we will be staying at the Grandparents house late so I need to bring pajamas for both the kids and this bag is big enough to accommodate that. I don't have to bring three bags because this ONE gets the job done.
Another great thing about this bag is even when I pack it with lots of stuff it doesn't look too bulky and surprisingly, it is not too heavy to carry around. Ju Ju Be makes another large bag called the "Be Prepared", but ultimately it was too bulky and heavy for me when packed, so the Super Be has been perfect for me. Plus it is WAAAY cheaper than the Be Prepared, so that always makes me feel better about carrying it too:)
There are three pockets on the front of the bag and the one in the center has a zip closure. It is a shorter pocket for things you need to have easy access to like your phone, chap-stick, or gum.
The two front side pockets are nice and deep for bottles, water bottles, sippy cups, or anything else you might want to put in them. I usually put a bottle in one and my wallet in the other. These pockets are really nice and big and I can easily fit my Camelbak water bottle in there if I need to.
First of all, look at this beautiful blue lining! I really love this color! The interior of the bag has two mesh pockets and one zippered pocket on the back. All of these pockets are a great size and I have found them to be very functional.
This bag also has an awesome key clip on the inside that makes it easy to put away and find my keys. I have seen other people use this feature for hair ties, and even pacifiers as well.
There are two places on the bag where you can attach a messenger strap, or your stroller clips. This bag does not normally come with a messenger strap, but I knew that I was going to be fully packing this bag sometimes and I wanted to be able to carry it cross body, especially when getting my son in and out of his car seat. I hate when my bag is falling off my shoulder when I am trying to get him situated. I do find that the two tote handles on the bag are nice and long and easy to put over my shoulder and when I do carry the bag that way it is actually pretty comfortable.
The pocket on the back of the bag has a snap closure and it is the entire length of the bag. This pocket is great for books, random papers, magazines and I usually put mail that I need to go through in this pocket.
Overall I have really loved having this bag as my go to bag if I know we will be needing more than the normal amount of stuff. I also have to say that I wasn't sure about this print at first, but it has really grown on me and I love it. Even though it has roses on it, I still find it to be pretty gender neutral because of the black, white, grey and beautiful blue.
