Baby Buggy + Target (Review & Giveaway - 10/14)
9/23/2010 01:30:00 PM
As you are all aware, I love Target. Now, I just found out they've got a new baby collection, and I've fallen in love all over again.Founded by Jessica Seinfeld, Baby Buggy features designs by Petunia Pickle Bottom and Maira Kalman. Not on that, but because they're available at Target, they're affordable! And, every time you purchase one of these items, 10% of the purchase price will go toward helping Baby Buggy continue in their efforts of donating baby necessities to families in homeless shelters, parent programs, court child centers, and to those affected by domestic violence all over our country. Get a great product and do someone somewhere a world of good. I love it.
I was contacted on behalf of Target and asked to review an item from the Baby Buggy collection. I had a really hard time selecting just one item, especially since we don't know if this baby is a boy or a girl yet. I opted for an item for a little girl, only because everyone I know that's pregnant right now is carrying a little girl. I figured one of them would be able to use the item if I can't.
I selected the Petunia Pickle Bottom Clever Carryall Diaper Bag in the Tulip Pattern. First of all, I love saying "Petunia Pickle Bottom" and secondly, who couldn't use a fantastic diaper bag?The bag arrived quickly, and immediately, I was hooked. I am praying - with everything that is in me - that this baby is a girl so that I can have an excuse to keep this bag and not have to give it to someone with a baby girl. I love this bag. Here are just some reasons that I adore it:
- The outside is made of a material that is easy to wipe off. I cannot tell you how many times in the past I've had diaper bags that don't have this feature. You set your diaper bag down, only to have your 3 year old spill their juice all over the table - and all over your diaper bag. With this fabulous bag, you can just wipe the juice off and go on with your day. Want even better news? The inside is easy to wipe out too! Ingenious! Now, if a bottle gets spilled inside, it will be easy to take care of.
- It's so roomy! There is tons of room in this diaper bag! Perfect for everything a new mom will need to carry.
(Or a mom with 6 kids! I'm pretty sure I could keep a change of clothes for each one of my kids in here, and still have room left over. And even though it's roomy, it's not huge, and it won't take up your entire back seat. - There are lots and lots of pockets. I'm all about pockets. I need to be organized, and I need to make sure everything has its place. This diaper bag definitely gives me that. It's got outside pockets, inside pockets, and plenty of ways to keep me feeling organized and in control - even when I'm anything but!
- It converts to a backpack. This is one of the coolest features ever! It comes with an extra strap (and already stylishly placed hooks) to go from an on-the-shoulder bag to a backpack. Such a great idea. And, if you shorten the straps all the way, they can be used as stroller clips – just clip one end to the bag, wrap over your stroller handle, and reclip to the bag. Love it, love it, love it.
- It comes with "perks." Not only do you get the fabulous diaper bag as described above, but it also includes a changing pad, (perfect for those horrible public bathroom changing tabled!), and a cute little wipes case that says "petunia pickle bottom" across the top of it.
See why I fell in love with this bag? It really does have everything. And at just $49.99, it's worth every penny!Besides super cute diaper bags (for moms of boys or girls!), the Baby Buggy Collection at Target also includes layette sets and sleepers.
You can view the entire Baby Buggy collection on the Target Website.
