Kokopax Samantha Diaper Tote

It's not often I feel compelled to write a review but I love this bag so much and felt the need to share. I've been looking for a great diaper bag for a while now. One that would not only be functional for baby but would also be professional enough to bring to work everyday. I hate constantly going from one bag to another I'm always bound to forget something.

This bag has three large pockets, one zipper pocket and endless amounts of space in the actual bag itself. The material is great quality and the leather accents make it a nice choice for work as well. The only drawback is the leather means this bag cannot go in the wash. However, this bag has flown with me internationally and on multiple trips and cleans up well when spot treated. I also really love that the straps are thicker than other bags I've had and the leather gives it a little extra support on my shoulder. Despite loading it up with all my stuff, I never get that "digging into my shoulder" pain.

What has my cheap self learned during my search for the "perfect" diaper bag? You get what you pay for. You will not regret getting this bag.

I'd been on the search for a stylish and cute diaper bag that didn't LOOK like a diaper bag, for a long time when I came across this one on Amazon. I love it. It's big purse, with 3 inside pockets (great for diapers, pacis, etc.) and one inside zip pocket. The main compartment is huge, and hold a lot. I love that I can carry this around with me and not feel like I look like I'm toting diapers and baby stuff everywhere I go.

My only complaint would be that since there's leather on the bag, I'm assuming you can't put it in the washer, although the rest of the bag is fabric. Dry clean maybe? I've had it fora bout 6 months, and so far I've only had to spot-wash a small spot on it, which came out fine with a little bit of detergent on a sponge.

I would definitely recommend this to someone looking for a cute diaper bag!

Munchkin Arm and Hammer Nursery Fresheners

These are smaller than I thought they would be, but work very well. I'm not a fan of lavender scents, but this one is not overpowering, and is actually quite pleasant. I hope they last 90 days as promised.

I got these to try out because my doctor's office doesn't allow us to throw away wet diapers in the exam rooms, but they always want our newborn in a dry diaper. Since it's a 35 minute drive to their office, she is inevitably wet every time. So I keep one of these in the diaper bag, and also use the Munchkin Arm and Hammer Diaper Bag Dispenser, Assorted baggies, and I never worry about my diaper bag smelling fowl, even if it's only for a 35 minute drive back home.

Added Oct 20: 3 months later, these are STILL fresh. I haven't replaced any of them in my diaper bags, hamper or diaper pale. These DEFINITELY last 90 days as promised, and today, they still smell like they did on day 1. They've helped everything stay fresher. I will be buying these again, once the first pack finally wears off.

I was expecting these to be much larger than they actually are (about 2" across) but with that being said, they DO work! I have one in my kitchen trashcan, one in the Diaper Genie, and one in my car as an air freshener. The light lavender scent is pleasantly noticeable without being overpowering. The packaging says they last for 90 days so we'll see how it goes. I found them cheaper than Amazon's list price locally ($5 on sale at Kmart), so it may not hurt to look around.

I put this in the diaper pale and it reduced the smell a little bit but doesnt really help... What i dont like is that there is no adhesive on the back so i cant stick it to anything and also the packageing isnt re-sealable so once you open it all 5 are exposed and put off the lavender smell.

Our diaper pail has an in-built container to hold these fresheners and this fits well and smell great!

These little guys are great for garbage cans. I have them in my tall kitchen one and small bathroom one. They last about two months with regular use, will take care of pretty strong odors (guacamole, fried foods), and have an okay scent. My only issue with these is that they aren't self-sticking. I remedied that by using Velcro Brand Sticky Back Coins, 5/8 Inches, 15 per Package, Black (90069), but still wish they had built-in adhesive.

Lambs and Ivy Luv Bugs Musical Mobile, Plum

My daughter enjoys watching this mobile, and it fits with the rest of the Luv Bugs collection. But it has a basic mount, so it only fits to crib bars of a certain spacing, making it inflexible for positioning in other types of cribs or playpens. The music is too loud, of low quality, and on a very short loop. Even when fully wound, it only keeps spinning and playing music for about 5 minutes, so I have to keep going in an rewinding it.

This item really helps complete the look in your nursery if you are buying the Luv Bug decor from Lambs & Ivy. However, it is REALLY overpriced for what you get (I paid around $40). It is a wind up mobile with a music box so it doesn't last for more than a couple of minutes. For the price I paid, I would expect a battery powered mobile with maybe some choices of music/sound effects. But I wanted the mobile to match the nursery so I was willing to spend the money on the look, even though its function leaves much to be desired.

My daughter LOVES her mobile! She coos and smiles and has since she was able. I wish it was battery operated as it doesn't go for long without needing to be rewound, which is annoying if you're trying to do other things while keeping the baby entertained. All in all though, it's a great little mobile for the price.
