Guide Review - Fleurville Sling Tote Diaper Bag

I'm actually not a huge diaper bag fan, but when I saw the Fleurville Sling Tote, I thought it might win me over. It was attractive, versatile and it didn't scream diaper bag. It comes in multiple colors, but I chose the wild pink stripe version. The outer fabric is covered in vinyl to make keeping it clean a breeze. I'm not sure I like the vinyl, that's the one real problem I have with this bag.

The Sling Tote comes with three ways to carry it. You've got the built in, but easy to stow away, handles like a purse. This is great for slipping it off one shoulder to quickly grab something. It also has a detachable messenger bag handle. I like that the handle is ergonomic. There is also the ability to attach it to a stroller as a stroller bag, attachments included.

There are a ton of pockets for the fans of stuffing baby items. It's nice to be able to sort everything. I particularly like that they kept mom and dad in mind too, something not every diaper bag does. There is a carabiner clip for keys, so they don't fall to the bottom. I also like the felt lined pockets for cell phones, my iPod and sunglasses. This would also be nice for baby pictures. There is even an insulated, but attached, place to put baby bottles or a drink for you.

The wipes container is orange but see through. It's great for making sure you have wipes with you at all times. There is also a very thin changing pad. I thought I'd hate it too but wound up loving the ease of use and cleaning ability.
