I see a couple negative comments and I hope that you didn't let those bother you, this video was entertaining and informative! ❤️

[@sleepymountain]

You are the kind of woman I would instantly become friends with💕love your content and personality!!! I just decided for the skip hop forma after being almost sure I was getting the happ brand levy bag (very expensive) But then I saw the forma at Macys and held it and just felt like it was perfect. Totally forgot about the fancy Happ one.

[@biancafister2009]

I am searching for a new diaper bag. I have a jujube BFF from my first child and let me tell you. That bag it's almost new, but the straps are definitely not comfortable for me or my husband. The straps keep coming off our shoulders. The bag it's awesome but the straps are super uncomfortable. Especially after traveling a long time.

[@LadyOutnumbered321]

I couldn't afford the Jujubes so I went with this bc I didn't want something that screamed backpack. I love it! No more clothes lining myself in doors carrying the infant seat and a regular sling over your shoulder bag. Don't ask how I managed to do that this time around! Backpack is much easier!

[@Ktcupoftea]

YES! HAHA I hadn't thought of it as clothes lining but I have definitely done that many times. I agree! This backpack is obviously a backpack style but not flashy or screaming "Look at me! I'm a backpack!".

[@danielabautista1023]

thank you for your help, I decided on this backpack and it's been great so far and my husband prefers this diaper bag over the one we used to have :-)

[@Ktcupoftea]

Well hip hip hooray!!! And if it gets husband approval that's saying something!

[@gillperkins4602]

Started with BFF, the zip broke and have now got the Forma and only had it a few days but so impressed with it! :D xx

[@ishioftondo8950]

Hi, are the straps durable? I read from the reviews most of the complaints was the strap being ripped.

[@Ktcupoftea]

I saw those complaints as well. So far, a year later, I haven't noticed any of that! But I'm also not using the bag on a daily basis.

[@Mrsktmomof3]

I started with a jujube BFF which is bag your talking about legacy is the print. I use a jujube super be right now since its summer and we do lunch at the park and pool stuff.

[@Ktcupoftea]

Good to know! And those JuJuBes were absolutely drool worthy!

[@jennyhernandez1568]

Currently carrying a jujube be right back and I love it! Great for summer since we're doing lots of day trips. Usually use a "be light" by jujube since it's practically weightless:) Btw you look amazing!!!!!

[@Ktcupoftea]

It definitely seemed that if I was planning on a new diaper bag for daily use, the JuJuBes were the way to go. Great quality for the price, right? And thanks for your sweet comment! I filmed this days before giving birth and I certainly didn't feel amazing. HA!

[@aaronmcginnis3942]

It's so nice to see you again! You look fantastic! I hope all is well.

[@Ktcupoftea]

Thank you!! This was filmed just a week before William was born. Alas, finding time to film without someone crying in the background is hard! I may just need to transition to live streaming and get over it :)

[@aaronmcginnis3942]

+The Cup of Tea Blog Yep!

[@elaine2504]

Hi! Do you think I could use skip hop forma backpack as baby's travel bag and use skip hop duo signature as real diaper bag? I am think about buying them both but I have doubts.

[@Ktcupoftea]

So I actually took the backpack as my 10 month old's overnight bag this past weekend just to test! Bottom line is it worked! I filmed a video to go up soon, because I'm sure you're not the only one wondering that question. But I was able to fit quite a bit in there since the backback is soft sided and easy to stuff full. But I wasn't able to use it as an overnight bag AND as my purse/diaper bag... I'll tag you when the video goes up so you can see what fit. But thanks for the question and inspiration!

[@Ktcupoftea]

So I actually gave it a try and used it as an overnight bag! Here's the video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioWYc6t4e6mdjrc

[@aubreegrelle9398]

I have the jujube bff and I love it. But it's honestly not that comfortable. I'm a size 12/14 and I feel like I need a longer style backpack. Does that make any sense at all? Ha! I've tried so many bags, spent so much money and my husband is so annoyed with me. I might try vera bradley next...

[@lc9525]

Aubree Grelle try the jujube be right back! 😊

[@aubreegrelle9398]

Lea G I've tried it and it doesn't work for me. I got the vera bradley campus backpack and I love it so far! Thx

[@Ktcupoftea]

So I have a friend, same sizing, that has used the Skip Hop for 2 years now! And still uses it as her daily bag. But if that Vera Bradley is working, keep on going!

[@sarah-beautyfreckled9811]

I used the Skip Hop Double Duo (which is meant for twins but I used it for one child). I love that bag but since my little one is now a toddler I didn't need as much stuff with us daily so I caved and got the JuJuBe BFF in Charcoal Roses. I love watching diaper bag videos and what's in my diaper bag videos so I would love to see how you pack this one! I finally started doing these kinds of posts on my blog.

[@Ktcupoftea]

Hooray! Glad I'm not the only one that loves watching/reading these kinds of sneak peeks. I'll have to swing over and read yours! And I'm definitely planning a what's in my bag video once I get my act together. I've used it maybe 10 times now for outings to parks and museums and it holds a lot!

[@sarah-beautyfreckled9811]

+The Cup of Tea Blog Skip Hop is just awesome. Their bags hold so much more than it looks like they would. Can't wait to see more videos of yours!

[@Ktcupoftea]

Finally have an updated video about what I'm packing in it for 2 kids! kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKLFgpKcpb1qp5Y Took me a while to get it filmed and edited haha! I blame the kids :)

[@maries9478]

Love the video! I have a 2 year old and trying for a second child. Do you think the skip hop has bigger space then the jujube?

[@Ktcupoftea]

Thank you! The Skip Hop definitely has a larger main compartment. The jujube had lots of pockets/pouches, but I felt like it would limit you if you really wanted to stuff it full. Plus, after using it for a while now, I realize I like having less pockets in the Skip Hop. I keep my things organized in smaller pouches to make it easier to transfer from one bag to the other, and if this backpack had more pockets, I'd have to unpack everything to use those pockets... make sense?

[@maries9478]

+The Cup of Tea Blog Thanks for replying! Yeah that is a smart idea to declutter. I ended up getting the skiphop kids backpack for my daughter since i have a skiphop diaper bag already so i though it would be easier hopefully!

[@Ktcupoftea]

That's a great idea! We have 2 of the toddler backpacks ourselves, and that's a great alternative until you have #2!

[@shimaharon8499]

thats it. im getting this bag. thank u for the review!

[@Ktcupoftea]

How are you liking it so far??

[@luciemarama7923]

The lining of the bag perfectly matches your eyes 😃

[@Ktcupoftea]

Haha thanks!! Totally intentional 😜 that’s how I choose all my bags!

[@irmatezx3]

I have the skip hop Chelsea backpack the chic style which I love !!!! But when we are deciding a third one mom of two right now so for my third one I'm really considering this one for sure !! If my Chelsea backpack one doesn't hold until that time lol I been eyeing this one myself. Love it !! And affordable.

[@Ktcupoftea]

It's so affordable! The Chelsea one is adorable though, so definitely hold on to that one as long as possible, especially if you're using it as a daily bag!

[@miltman85]

I just ordered this bag on Zulily for $40! My husband and I were just looking at it at Babies R Us over the weekend. I couldn't pass up the awesome price!

[@Ktcupoftea]

WHAT????? That's amazing! I hope it treats you as well as mine has!

[@Chantallika]

I just ordered mine!

[@Ktcupoftea]

GAH! 4 months later and I see this. How are you liking it?? Just took mine out to the playground yesterday HAHA!

[@TheSiddy16]

Where do you buy your pouches from?

[@Ktcupoftea]

Good question! Those 2 pouches came with the bag, so they're meant to fit just right.

[@danielabautista1023]

Hi, wanted to know how the diaper bag has held up... Been looking at reviews and they go back and forth

[@Ktcupoftea]

Hey! So a "how I pack it" video is going live tomorrow, but so far so good! I actually diligently used it daily for about 3 weeks and it was super handy and is holding up so far. Haven't noticed any stitching going, etc. But I would say if you were planning on a daily backpack (and not the occasional use like I plan on) I can see it not being as sturdy as other backpacks or backpack convertibles. But if you just need a backpack for the occasional trip to the park or museum, etc, then you can't beat this for the price!

[@Ktcupoftea]

The "how I pack it" video is FINALLY live! HA! kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKLFgpKcpb1qp5Y Hope that helps a little too.

[@nourhafez4297]

@@Ktcupoftea hello thanks for the review how about cleaning it or putting it in the washing machine ? What other sturdy backpacks do u reccomend i will use it for 2 kids as well on daily basis .

[@trevorsoderholm7974]

Momom

[@lc9525]

I vote the jujube be right back all the way

[@Ktcupoftea]

They are SOOO pretty!

[@lc9525]

The Cup of Tea Blog I totally get why you bought this bag! Check out the jujube "be right back" in "blackout" if you ever need another! I used the 20% at buy buy baby to buy it! It's all black (with black hardware, no girly gold) and my husband and I both love to carry it! He steals it for work/travel sometimes! Haha!!! It's even more comfortable than the "bff" jujube bag! It's also $30 cheaper than the "bff" even without the coupon. Also the "be right back" can totally be used after your babies are grown. Great video mama. 💗💗💗

Talked to much over a backpack

[@afiqah2008]

talk so much missy. You should talk less and focus more on the bag review with your bags full of items.
