Jujube bff

[namasteak]

I think this is the bag I'm going to get

If you have/have had this bag how did you organize it? It seems like it could quickly become a black out of kid stuff but some of the youtube organizing videos are .... Intense.

If the bag you got had a lot of white on it did it get dirty pretty quickly? If it had a lot of black did it fade quickly?

I have this and LOVE it!!!! I'm out but I'll come back and add more later.

Following, it's what I picked too. The you tube videos are crazy.

I have this in the black and white stripe. It's OK. I think I would have preferred something less bulky, but I get a lot of compliments on it. It holds a lot and mine isn't close to being organized. There are YouTube videos? LOL WTF NO.

The white is really dirty, I need to wash it badly. The black has not faded.

How do some of those ladies get so many individual set pieces? Plus the bag has so many pockets so why do they need all of them?

I'm debating between getting 2 of the "be set" or 3 "be quick" just to keep the kids stuff separate.

I love my be quick! I'd get two of those so you could grab them if you didn't want to take your whole bag.

Good idea! I also like the small zipper pocket the be quick has.

MUST ORGANIZE ALL THE THINGS

As I said, I love mine! I had wanted the smaller messenger bag one (Be Prepared?) but I ordered it and put my stuff in it and it felt small so I returned it. The BFF is really big, bigger than I thought I wanted but I think I'll need it as baby gets older and I need to put more stuff in it. I love the mommy pocket, I keep all my stuff in there (sunglasses, keys, Chapstick, breast pads, hand sanitizer and 2 pacis so I can grab the, quick). I put my phone in the felt zippered pocket so I always know where it is and can also grab it fast. I have an iPhone 6 and it just barely fits in that pocket. In the bag there are a ton of pockets, so I keep about 8 diapers and wipes in the back 2. I keep a burp cloth in one of the side pockets and a bottle of emergency formula/nipple and granola bars for me in the other one. Then in the main area of the bag I have a change of clothes for baby, extra blanket, sun hat, teethers and other odds and ends. Since the bag opens so wide I can find stuff pretty fast. Oh and I bought a big wallet that I throw in there too, that way if I go out alone I just grab that and my cell phone out of the bag easily when I'm not taking it with me.

I'm really happy with it so far! DD is 3 months. I tried a bunch of bags and this one made it easy for me to organize my stuff and find it. I love it!

noodleoo Thanks for your review! I'll be using it for a newborn & 20 month old so big is unfortunately better.

I have the BFF in Shadow Waltz and it has definitely faded. I cloth diaper, so I never felt like it was huge, but I was able to fit everything I needed. It's still my backup bag, but I've switched to a Petunia Picklebottom backpack for my everyday bag.

Have you picked one out yet? The one I have is on clearance at Buy Buy Baby for $129, which is a great price!! I paid more for mine 2 months ago. I'll see if I can find the link.

It's a great bag.

A couple of BeQuicks are a great idea, as someone suggested above.

I was hoping you would chime in (they used to be a client of yours right?)! Why would you get a be quick over a large set piece?

Yup, former client! 

I was going to say that the large BeSet may not hold larger diapers/wipes as well as the BeQuick does, but I just realized I have the large BeSet in my bag here at work (I use it with the long strap as my purse when I run errands after work and don't want to carry my big work bag in), and it actually is a good size upon further inspection. I just tend to use the BeQuicks a lot to organize diapers/wipes and other things -- mainly because I have so many of them. I also totally forgot that they brought the BeSets back. They were gone for a couple of years! They're very versatile, so if you're up for it, I'd say get the BeSet. (They don't sell them separately, though -- just with all three sizes.)

There are also JJB resale groups on FB where you can find good deals on stuff and/or sell yourself when you're done with it.  

Holler if you have any other questions.
