I love bags. That is probably no surprise to you – as a mom, you may love bags too. There are so many different types! Diaper bags are in their own little world. When I had just one baby I was able to get by with a small diaper bag, but having 2 kids in diapers definitely changed things. I needed to carry more diapers ( & more stuff) around plus my two kids! Hands-free & lots of space are so important with diaper bags! I tried using several different bags I already had, but nothing was working!
I finally found something that I absolutely love, holds everything I need and is stylish! I received the timi & leslie Metro Messenger diaper bag in Barcelona to review and it’s perfect!
After using this bag, I have fallen in love with the style, pockets, and ease of use!
timi & leslie say this about their bag:
“Be sophisticated and organized with the Metro Messenger bag. The Metro Messenger bag has a roomy interior with multiple compartments to fit all of your and baby’s essentials. Always be in style and never sacrifice function with the Metro Messenger bag!”
The Metro Messenger is not just a bag- you get all of these accessories with the bag:
- Changing pad with diapers/wipes pocket
- Stroller Straps
- Adjustable shoulder strap
- Two insulated pockets for bottles & 6 internal organizational pockets
- Large back zipper pocket
- PVC free bag (vegan faux leather) with custom hardware in an antique brass finish
- Inside key fob
This bag holds a lot. On a daily basis, I tote around 4 cloth diapers, a package of wipes, wet bag, a toy or two, some food pouches, water bottle, and my own wallet/phone/mommy supplies. For a few day trips, we have packed the bag with 5-6 diapers even plus wipes, toys & a lulujo blanket. Even fully packed, the bag is not bulky and doesn’t seem over-stuffed.
I am not a 1-shoulder bag girl. I feel like I have the wrong type of shoulders and bags always fall off. That is why I love messenger-style bags! Easy to wear, and you can adjust whether you wear it on the side, front, or even back! Additionally, since the bag is all vegan faux-leather, my husband will gladly grab & carry the diaper bag for me! I cannot say this about some of the other bags I have used. Lastly, since the strap length is adjustable, its SO SO easy to wear while baby wearing! It never interferes with the carrier or the kids!
I love love that timi & leslie bags come with stroller straps! Carrying a bag and pushing a stroller is not always the easiest task! I love that I can just secure the bag to the stroller and go! We can easily get to the bag, get things in & out, and go about our stroll! Here is how we place the bag on our Britax b-Agile double.
My favorite features on the bag, are the zipper pockets on the inside front for me to keep my wallet & goodies, and the zipper pockets on the outside! Easy for storing a phone, binkies, pouches, toys or anything you want to access quickly! The light colored interior allows me to easily see things inside the bag and find anything that may have gotten dropped down in there! timi & leslie makes their bags super easy to care for as well – you just wipe it down with a damp cloth and it comes clean! I know we will be using this bag for a long time, and we likely will be trying several other styles!
Head over and tell me what your favorite timi & lesile bag?

Back when my kids were little, I used a backpack, but then again – diaper bags are MUCH nicer nice than they were 8 years ago. I LOVE this one.
OMG, I love it! My diaper bag was a hideous blue and green padded thing. It was so awful.
Diaper bags have come so far since I had kids. This one is really stylish!
What a fabulous bag that looks nothing like a diaper bag! I bet that you will use this when the little ones are well out of diapers too!
Probably!! Its really handy!!
That is an awesome diaper bag- so stylish. Not at all like the frumpy diaper bags that were available when I had my kids.
This sounds like my ideal diaper bag. It looks great and it has enough space for plenty of supplies.
Wow what a gorgeous bag. I love the colour and size. With so many kids I need a good bag that has a lot of room. This would work!
Yes! Some of the other styles I believe are actually bigger just due to the shape of the bag.
Love that bag… would make a great baby shower gift for a friend that is expecting this summer. Pack it with items to use on the go plus some books… the perfect gift!
Wow I never though of it that way!! that is a fabulous idea! I will have to remember that!
I love a messenger bag and love to sling it cross-chest and forget about it leaving my hands free. I seem to have more stuff than a small purse can handle!
So cute bag! Love the color. I need to check that out.
This is the perfect bag for me. I have been looking for a new one for summer. I love all the room it has.
Now this is a diaper bag! I wish I had one like this when I was raising my son. So chic and stylish.
This is a good article for mothers.
But I like the look of the bag – I am a fan of handbags, but I am an aunt-figure 🙂
haha! There are some different styles that are more hand bag ish! 🙂 I just prefer hands free!
What a great bag! It doesn’t even look like its a diaper bag. I think you’ve found a winner!
Thats a diaper bag? This is way better than a diaper bag!!
I love this bag! I would keep my camera in there too!
While I do not have children, I do have a Timi & Leslie Bag, they are perfect for us photographers out there too! Lugging around a DSLR, lenses and a tripod can be difficult and these bags can sure take a beating! 🙂
