Customer Review: great bag but zipper broke after 5 weeks...amazon's customer service is great!
I purchased this bag from amazon and received it in 2 days. It's a great diaper bag and fits so much (6 diapers, change of clothes, snacks, wipes, diaper cream, sunblock, wallet, cellphone, sanitizer, bibs, washcloth, bottle, water bottle, and finally my little organizer). However, after 5 weeks of use the zipper on one of the front "inside" pocket was opening while I closed it and vice versa then finally it wouldn't close at all. I initially contacted skip hop to see if I could get a exchange since I felt the zipper must've been defective but they said that zippers aren't covered so I decided to try to get an exchange from amazon. amazon's policy says that you must exchange within 30 days and since it was over 30 days I wouldn't be able to. So I emailed to amazon customer service and explained the situation and guess what... they will/have exchange(d) it for me and in fact, they've already sent the new bag (it's in transit) and gave me instructions on how to return my damaged bag to them. The customer service rep replied to me within 3 hours and had already ordered the replacement and this was on a sunday! The replacement bag has shipped and I'll receive it no later than 4 days from now. That's is great service!!! I was and am so grateful for the superb customer service and will encourage all of my family and friends to order from amazon. As for the bag, I'm hoping I just had a defective zipper. Here's to hoping...
Customer Review: At last a diaper bag I don't regret purchasing...
With a two year old and another baby on the way, I searched for a diaper bag that would work for both children and not look cheesy. I've bought several bags over the past few years from various manufacturers and this is by far the best. The Skip Hop Duo delivers on style, comfort, accessibility, and function. It got its first test this weekend at the Saint Louis Zoo. The stroller clips really do work and keep the bag securly attached to the stroller. Not once did I have to detach it to get something in a pocket, everything was perfectly organized with the multiple pockets. Another bonus? All the pockets have super powerful magnets (or zippers) that hold closed despite how much you shove in the bag, so no one can look down and see whats in your bag. I was asked multiple times "What type of bag is that?" and "Where did you get it?" Of course, this is a great affirmation. The only negative was the strange smell I noticed when the bag first arrived. It could've been my pregnant nose, but it had a strange chemical odor. I ended up leaving it on the back porch overnight and the smell was gone.
