Giveaway & Review: Baby Star "Rock the Tote" Diaper Bag (ARV $60) [CLOSED]

It finally happened! The day has arrived that we are able to down-size from a weekender-sized tote bag to a more manageable (and more attractive) diaper bag. When we only had one child, it was easy. When the twins came along, however, we found that we had to carry diapers/training pants, wipes, a change of clothing, toys, and a long list of other things for three children. Now that our oldest is 6, he no longer needs me to carry anything for him aside from a die cast car or two.

The Baby Star diaper bags from the "Rock the Tote" line are for parents who have not given into the idea that diaper bags should be boring and conservative. Baby Star offers tote-style diaper bags, as well as infant clothing and accessories, for families who like to be seen in style.

My husband and I chose the 18" x 15" Kaleidiscope Print Tote Bag, which is made of BPA-free, formaldehyde-free, azo-free, and phthalate-free laminate. It also comes with a Baby Star logo BPA-free wipes case and a changing pad.


I've had the chance to personally carry this bag on a few family outings. I was surprised at how much it actually holds. I also like that there are deep pockets on the interior walls, including one with a zip closure. The laminate seems to be durable and wipes clean easily. I thought that the changing pad was a little on the small side for toddlers, but it would be perfect for infants. The reinforced webbed handles appear to be strong. I like how they are rolled at the top. Sometimes the diaper bag can become quite heavy and the rolled handles make it more comfortable to carry for long periods of time.


The "Rock the Tote" diaper bag retails for $60, but is on sale for half off through March 3rd, 2010. If you miss the sale, you can still receive 20% off retail when you check out with Code: star20 through the end of 2010. Also, make sure you check for the Baby Star weekly special.
