 Topic: babymel vs skiphop vs oioi
Posted: 04 May 2012 at 8:58pm |
So this time I have decided to get a decent nappy bag! I'm tossing up between a babymel, skiphop or oioi.
Opinions please!

I reckon nappy bags are overated, unless you plan on bottle feeding and you need an insulated bottle warmer, just a stylish large handbag with seperate zips 1 side for babys bits & 1 side purse/makeup etc.
I leave a spare change baby clothes in car (have had to use once in 6months) and just carry mini wipes/1 nappy/disp change bag in a minipak or blue plastic nappy bag. inside my handbag and a bib, get sore shoulders carrying around huge nappy bags
anyway thats my 2c worth as a 3rd time mum to 6 month old

Love my babymel so much! Used it all the time last 16 months and still looks great! Put it in the washing machine even and looks great!!
It is very slim line and easy to carry, hangs on stroller handles great!
Even my DH loves it now and thinks it was worth the spend.

Have you looked through all the nappy bags on bellybeyond website? There is quite a selection from pretty, to super stylish leather. I actually got mine at the Parent and Child expo in Auckland on sale from Pregoli stand, check their website out, they might be cheaper.
Oh, but looking at the bellybeyond website, can you believe how pricey some nappy bags are!! I thought my was a splurge! All my other mum friends were slightly mocking me in a friendly way about my fancy nappy bag when I bought it! But they all went through multiple bags due to different requirements from babies to toddlers. Now a few want a decent one :-)
I think I love nappy bags :-) funny as for handbags I have two and they are both crap and cheap! Funny how I can't justify spending on a handbag but yes for a nappybag :-)
Let me know what you get :-) those leather oioi ones look great!

I like the fact that the skiphop is attachable to strollers and it comes in unisex colours, so dp can use it too.

My wonderful mum bought me a skiphop - I LOVED it - so many pockets and LOADS of space, and yes best part that it clips onto the stroller

I have a skip hop to - looks just like a normal sachtel - great for DH to use.
Was goin to get an OiOi but my sister drilled into me that you don't need as big a bag as you may think.... you don't carry the kitchen sink forever.
I use cloth nappies and still find it plenty big enough

I think Skip Hop bags are much better than oioi - and cheaper too! Have never used a Babymel so can't comment. Mums Know Best have Skip Hop bags on special at the moment.
