Thinking of buying one, but not sure.
Do you think they are worth it?
Which one is the smallest?

the saddlebag is pretty small but it doesn't have a shoulder strap
happybags sells them all

jennifersofia · 09/03/2008 21:00

Oh, so when you take it off the pram, how do you carry it?

I dont have one but it looks like you just use the wrist strap

it has a handle on the top

I have a skiphop duo in black which is very useful and fits fantastically well on my buggy (I hate having to carry a bag and push the buggy) without taking up any space in the shopping basket.

I don't think it is particularly good-looking but it does its job very well.

Teaandcake · 10/03/2008 11:09

The Duo has a removable shoulder strap and a little carrying handle too.

Hate my black skiphop duo - found the black lining meant I lost everything. will be selling mine when I get round to it.

I hated mine (Duo) and sold it on quickly. No zip at the top so everything got wet. It's too long and narrow to find anything. Strap's a PITA to take on and off. I've got a cheapo m/care one at present, but was thinking of allerhand or a little company one which have zips and decent straps for going on pushchair. Aside from saddlebag, duo is smallest, then expo/dash. Think Glam is just fancy colours for duo.

Sorry for blatant hijack.

I had the Skip hop too but returned it - didn't like that the top was open - too easy for things to fall out.

Does anyone have the saddlebag or pronto?
Am pondering getting one or both of these...

Pannacotta - I have the saddlebag
It's pretty small and the pronto is smaller I think
I can fit nappies, wipes, bit of food in it and that's about it

Pannacotta · 11/03/2008 18:37

Thanks TheBlonde, can you fit a few nappies in it, or just 1-2?
I have a Duo bag but find it a bit too big - and it slips down on my Frog, doesn't seem a good bag for this buggy.

4 nappies (2 per child), 1/3 pack of wipes, spare outfit for baby, bottle in net pocket on end
nothing of mine goes in it, I still have a handbag

Pannacotta · 11/03/2008 20:13

Thanks TheBlonde that sounds about right - I have a handbag as well, could never get the hang of combining all my things with the DSs!

Skip hop dash has a flap over it and has been very handy, and we have a pronto which is very small and handy.

Look at kiddykool for a good selection

expatinscotland · 21/03/2008 21:10

i had one and sold it because it was overrated and really a PITA

slinkiemalinki · 25/03/2008 13:58

I've got a Duo, really like it actually, but don't want a huge one. But the Pronto is fabulous, can't recommend it enough.

accessorizequeen · 25/03/2008 21:10

There is a new Skip Hop, called Via, looks alright though on the huge side Better strap system. here

TheBlonde · 25/03/2008 22:28

I looked at the Via (I was after a huge bag)
Went for this kipling one instead
kipling new baby
