Thursday Giveaway: Skip Hop Via Messenger

2008-02-07-skip-hop-via-mes.jpgThere are so many diaper bag choices these days. The field only narrows slightly once you have a clear idea of what you want to carry around with the peanut's supplies.

Skip Hop seems to design their bags with the modern parent in mind: someone who doesn't want their bag to scream "BABY!!!" but one that doesn't deny that in an average mom or dad's day, there are going to be poopy diapers, leaky bottles, cell phones and wallets to contend with.

They have a new one (read on for details) and we're giving one away.

 
 

2008-02-07-skip-hop-dude.jpgSkip Hop’s new Via Messenger is a thoughtfully organized diaper bag with eighteen pockets, including a special AgION™ antimicrobial pocket to help keep germs away from clean. The crazy number of pockets might be a bit of over-kill. We only used about half of them, and tried use one side of the bag for adult stuff like keys and cell phones, and the other side for diapering supplies and other baby things.

The cushioned changing pad is a nice addition for those who like to use a pad on the go, although we didn't use it much (space is too precious) -- we're more the types to just lay down our coat.

The Via Messenger has Skip Hop’s Shuttle Clips, a strap and fastening system that attaches the bag to the handlebars of any stroller. It worked well on our MacLaren Techno, but be careful if it's heavy, it can tip an empty stroller, or one with a light baby inside.

Being bloggers on the go, we often have our laptops with us, so we like a bag that will accommodate our computers, as well as a few gDiapers and wipes. The messenger just barely fit it all for me with an almost 13" wide Mac Book. There was no room to try to jam anything else in, but I appreciate having limits. For daddy, so far the only diaper bag we've used that has been big enough for his Mac Book Pro is his briefcase.

2008-02-07-skip-hop-via-col.jpg
The bag comes in Black, Chocolate, Gray, Lime and Red and retails for $79.

We're giving one away today in the color of your choice. Let us know in the comments below what you'd want to pack into an ideal diaper bag, and which color you like best. A random winner will be chosen from the comments below. (Ends Monday 2/11 at noon EST.)

I like the chocolate one, coz it comes with an orange changing pad. In my diaper bag: Diapee/Wipee pack, my video ipod (to soothe my son during long waits at the doctor's office), chewing gum, a tub of play dough (again, for the son!), a couple of books, a change of clothes for each kid, plastic bags for the soiled diapers, snacks, milk boxes, business cards, and information stickers to slap onto my kids' backs if we are in a busy place (zoo, disneyland, etc.)

sign me up for grey as well! this would be my husband's diaper bag. in it would go crayons, fruit snacks, and thomas the train for my 2 year old; a change of clothes, diapers and wipes, rattle, teething toy, mei tai for my 4 month old, and first aid kit, antibacterial wipes, and eucerin for both. ( i think i'd make use of all 18 pockets!)

The brown one would be awesome - my husband is tired of carrying the pink one we have now. It really is a disaster. With his skin coloring, he's an autumn, and baby pink is just not his season. ;)

With two little ones in tow, I have a lot to get in the diaper bag. Lets see, I would pack - diapers, wipes, a change of clothes for the baby, snacks for the toddler, sippy cup, bottle, laptop, possible files for work, books, wallet, cell phone, and probably much more. I like the red or lime bag.

couldn't be more timely as last week i lost our skip hop expo - loaded with sentimental items in addition to the essentials (long story - snowy day in minnesota, loading the boy & stroller into the trunk - oh that's right, the boy went in the back seat -, must have left the bag on the curb). my wife just emailed me (as a subtle reminder) the link to the skip hop dash bag a few hours ago. the gray skip hop looks & works great attached to our phil & ted's stroller. essentials include a toy (video ipod or laptop) for me, a toy for the little guy, dipes & wipes, waterless hand cleaner, rice chex... skip hop's design, quality & functionality are second to none from my vast (12 months) of experience.

Oh this is perfect! I've been shopping bags and finally settled on one of the Skip Hop models to carry around for my baby due in August. I love the fact you can hook it to a stroller. I like the lime. What goes in it? The usual...diapers, wipes, spare clothes, a few toys, some odds and ends for my preschooler. It even matches my wallet!

I really like the brown and orange combo. What would I pack? Pretty much my whole life. At least a nursing cover, burp rags, extra outfit, blanket, diapers (we use cloth and they take up extra space!) wallet, cell, keys, snacks, water bottle. Etc, etc, etc. New babe is coming any day now and I've kind of forgotten what all we need to put in there...

In the IDEAL diaper bag I'd be able to carry LOTS of little toys as my little guy gets pretty bored with toys pretty quickly. Plus I'd also pack more than one burp cloth (which can take up a lot of extra space) for those especially messy occassions. (as well as all those other essentials of course) And we'd love to have a "sporty" red diaper bag.

I'd love red or lime...both so fun! My ideal diaper bag WOULD have a million pockets, so these seem perfect.

What do I need those pockets for? Keeping tracks of the trillion things I seem to find it necessary to carry with me like stain wipes, baby tylenol (just in case), soft cloths for wiping baby noses and spit up, small bags of toddler snacks, hand sanitizer, hand wipes, sunscreen, extra hat, toys, books, tiny play-doh, extra baby outfit, cell phone, wallet, small pad of paper, crayons, pen, lotion, diaper, toddler cup, adult water bottle, tissues, band-aids, first aid ointment, diaper ointment, etc, in addition to the diapers and wipes. It would extra fantastic if it could also fit my new wrap!

My current diaper bag is just not cutting it now that I have a baby and a toddler.

Love the lime.

I'd pack diapers, wipes, snacks, books, baby spoon, sippy cup, and room for his blankie would be nice too. We spend every Sunday all day at a friend's house and our current diaper bag just doesn't hold enough baby food and entertainment and we end up using a second bag just for food supplies.

I'd like the black one please as it is most likely to hide all the dirt a diaper bag can pickup over everyday use. I'd pack the essentials and something for everyone like diapers, wipes, toys, change of clothes, sunscreen, phone, magazine(s) and anything else that I could fit into the bag.

oh i would love the brown one! (although the lime one is tugging at my heart...) i'm actually diaper bag shopping now, b/c i bought a double stroller this month that has no storage underneath, and i need a bag that will hang off of the handles!

i travel out of town A LOT with 3 kids, and the diaper bag is what holds everything for me, since i can't juggle several bags at once.

so it would be my purse/diaper bag/snack bag, etc.

cell phone
small medicine bag with inhaler, tylenol, etc.
ipod
diapers/wipes/lotion
wallet and coin purse
sippy cup/bottled water
snacks, toys to entertain on long trips
camera

i can guarantee that i would find a use for every pocket...let me prove it to you! ha! convincing enough? ;)

I'm most excited about the quarantine section, not so much for diapers as for the endless, endless stream of wadded-up used tissues. How can such a tiny nose produce so much slime?!

- First 1,000 Days Baby Journal. I write in it whenever I'm in the waiting room at the doctor's office or find myself in another quiet moment. If I didn't carry it with me I'd never write anything down.

loving the gray one. i don't like to carry more than one bag around at any time, so this will do triple duty as a bag for work/baby/purse while I do double duty with two youngs under the age of 2 - one of them is on the way. We'll carry one set of diapers since we use the BG 2.0 one size (yay), wipes, a tube of Burt's Bees diaper ointment, but double spare onesies, a bottle (will be b-feeding #2 also), small container of cheerios and a toddler biscuit, an extra shirt for me, and the only my necessities that I carry for myself these days: lip balm, a pen, keys and wallet.

I like the brown or grey one, although I could go for any color. I won't need it for a baby for a few months but could stash my knitting, laptop, water bottle, snack, and newspaper in it in the mean time. Once the baby arrives I would also put in wipes, gdiapers, extra outfit, warm cap and a sun hat, nursing cover, blanket (in San Francisco you always need an extra blanket), a pacifer, and a bottle of wine. Okay I might leave the wine at home.

I'd love the chocolate one. In my ideal diaper bag(remembering that this is my ideal, not reality) I'd put my knitting, my camera and a novel. I'd have some moo cards to pass out to all the moms I'd meet and a pad of paper to jot down their addresses and my grand thoughts on life. There'd be no diapers or extra clothes, because my toddler would use the potty and keep himself clean. There'd be fresh cut fruit and a perfectly clean sippy cup with filtered water in it for snack time.

Now this packing wouldn't do the trick for reality, but that diaper bag does look really cool :-)

Definitely Gray- my favorite color, then I could have my current tote just for library books, and in this store our snacks, sippy cup, diapers, wipes, binky, coloring book, crayons and my keys, wallet, etc.

I'd love the black one (I always go for the bag that dad will carry too...). As for what will go in it - diapers, wipes, changing pad, sippy for the baby, nalgene for me, snacks (i like the cheddar crackers too so that works for both of us), cloths for wiping up spills, a toy and all my items that are constantly moving from my purse to the diaper bag (wallet, keys, phone) - and if i happen to remember while walking out the door - the camera :)

Can't go wrong with Grey! Since I love snagging stuff w/o digging around, I'm certain I'd use ALL the pockets. One for pacifier, another for snacks, another for burp cloths, snacks, toys...I could go on and on.

Oh the gray one is lovely!

We'd pack extra clothes, cloth dipes, cloth wipes, small bottle of our wipe solution, the small wet bag for the dirty dipes so this beautiful bag doesn't get soiled and a small bottle of cleanwell. We'd also use it to stash our stuff like a sigg bottle for water, keys, wallet, phone. So fun! pick me pick me!

We seem to always need 2 bibs, an extra large changing pad for use in public restrooms, a clean outfit, diapers, wipes, a few little toys, a board book and cheerios. Plus mommy items like blackberry, lip gloss, keys, and a book for me too.

I love this bag! I even registered for it already (due with 1st in June). The brown is my favorite. I'd use it for all the usual suspects for baby - diapers, wipes, blanket, nuk, and toys as well as some of the newer items I wasn't aware I would need being a first time mom - desitin, breast pads, tucks??, nipple cream and then I'd fill the rest of the space with my personal stuff - ipod, wallet, keys, cell, book, lip gloss, gum and candy. I think that's it.

Now, all of these things ARE contained in my diaper bags, but along with them are old raisins mushed into the bottom, a dirty baby sock or two, a pair of sandals in the middle of winter, and loads of random papers. lol

I love the lime one! I would pack a list of things to pack because I always seem to be forgetting something.

I'm in for the gray or black...My slightly tattered one is currently suffering from our outing today...zero diapers, dirty clothes, a few empty baby food containers for the recycling, cheerio crumbs, a blanket with leaves on it, and a few action figures. So I'd fill a new skip hop with all the aforementioned, but clean and filled!

The ideal diaper bag should have... :)
diapers, wipies, burp pad, pacifier or teething ring ( or both), plastic keys, change of clothing (sometimes for mom too), snacks for mom, wallet and disenfectant wipes. As the mother of 2, with another on the way, it should have everything thats not bolted down from your house if you can fit it in! lol
I would love a red one :)

I would love the gray.

Wow, with 18 pockets, I could actually pack everything I've ever wanted to for both myself and my 10-month old...

for my little one: his favorite board book - the hungry caterpillar; his new sippy cup; a bottle; diapers and wipes; some earth's best baby food; a bumkins bib for eating; LOTS of bandannas that we use as drool bibs; an extra onesie; and a toy

for me: hand lotion; sunglasses; wallet; planner; cell phone; keys; water bottle; and a camera.

With baby "dos" on the way, we'd use the grey to pack in the usual double dose of diapers, toys, books, snacks and the camera. And a exciting book for me for if, and when they both nap on the road...
Sounds like a lot but we're really minimalists and it works...

I like lime....containing the basics of diaper/wipe holder, clothes, toy trains. Plus snacks, water and my camera!

Oh, geez!

I would throw in only the bare essentials! LOL! Diapers, wipes, extra clothes, food, snacks, bibs, medicine, creams, thermometor, toys, binky's, water, formula....then maybe a few things for me (my phone, camera, wallet, keys).

Wow, I hope this bag would be big enough....LOLOLOL!

And then I have to choose a color?!?! Oh mee oh myy!


The Chocolate Brown seems to be calling my name! It looks wonderfully amazing. I have only heard of SkipHop, I don't actually own one though. I hear they are awesome!!!

I LOVE the chocolate one. Skip Hop diaper bags are AMAZING. I keep the following in my bag; diapers (two sizes), wipes, burp cloth, hand sanitizer, board book and two matchbox cars.

I've gotta say I love the black. It will go with everything. What would I pack? Diapers, wipes, a bottle, water, my cell phone, burp cloths, a clean outfit and snacks.

The grey for me. I'd pack like three pacifiers, diapers and wipes, foamy hand sanitizer (the kind with no alcohol), a changing pad (but it looks like they've got one), a bottle, some toys, my wallet, my iphone, keys, lip balm, gum, stuff for my older kids to draw with, a bib, and the most essential of all, the baby's favorite stuffed bunny, of which we own seven, so that we can never be without it.

I love the chocolate. We pack wipes, diapers, snacks, a couple of changes of clothes, DD's daily medication, crayons and paper...as well as my wallet.

I love the green one. What would I put in it? Three different sizes of diapers (because we're crazy and have three kids 3 and under), two sippies, a ton of snacks, some Matchbox cars, a few books, a cellphone and wallet, crayons (in a plastic bag so they can't get places they shouldn't be), and if i could i'd try to fit some spare sanity, since i tend to lose track of my sanity lately.

I like the red one. In an ideal diaper bag, I'd always have a clean diaper, a change of clothes for each kid, tasty and healthy snacks, and entertaining toys. Most days I am just happy to have a clean diaper.
