The only thing that has kept me from ordering a MiniBe was the lack of a mommy pocket. The pocket on the front is a little too long I could carry wipes in it but I would rather keep them in the bag. I would rather have a mommy pocket to hold my cell phone and BeMine.

I saw this mentioned in another post and thought it was the greatest. 2 Two Bottle pockets on the inside like the Be Smart and Be Small pockets, or zippered pockets on the outside like the BRB, only maybe a little wider. I do a lot of cups with straws and I don't like the straws hanging around outside in the open. Plus, sometimes it is a tight fit and looks weird. But if it is inside, who cares. I had a One Step Ahead diaper bag for years, that had side zipper bottle pockets that actually held 2, 4oz avent bottles. But I am not sure that a pocket that big would look stylish on the outside of a JJB bag.

Another idea is to have some bags with no mommy pocket. Maybe just a cell phone holder. I put everything in my Be Mine, so I just use the mommy pocket, as a Be Mine holder. Seems like a waste.

One more idea would be a diaper bag, that came with a Be Mine. A Be Gift?

Thanks for allowing us, to express our ideas.

Is it just me?

Or is the mess shuttle too small to hold all the clothes that get messy when a baby has a blow-out?

I tried to fit just one onesie and one pair of pants, rinsed of poop and rung out, but still moist, inside the mess shuttle and could barely zip it. This was back when my son was only wearing 0-3 months sized clothes...so I'm not sure what I'd do now (in 9 months clothing), but...

THE MESS SHUTTLE NEEDS TO BE BIGGER!

Or messes won't be shuttled cleanly...

Not sure if it has been mentioned or not, but I would love to see a thinner changing pad, either come with the bags or as an accesory, to buy. I am in love with the Fleurville changing pad. Their green matches Perky so well, so I am carrying it in my Be Smart (Sorry). I feel so guilty. I am thinking that the Be Light pads might be similar. Cuts down on the bulk of the bag.

Thanks

I agree with some of the other moms about the Be All messenger flap. I have a Be All and opted not to use the Mommy Pocket (messenger flap) as it became so ridiculous, flopping about every time I opened the bag with anything in that pocket.

Oh well. I'm not really sure how to fix the problem because the Be All is so cute as a messenger with the flap, it's just the flap isn't practical...which is part of what JJB is all about (fashion and function) right?

Maybe a grab handle on the BeTween
I'm still holding out for the next Between Bag...the bigger one. But would love a grab handle on that one too

I love all the Damask prints on bags right now...so classy!

Do you know something I don't? Is there supposed to be a new, larger BeTween coming out?

Just from reading the threads, there's an indication that there would be another between (between the BeAll and BePrepared). That might just be the perfect bag

I totally agree!!!! Perfection!

I would love a larger between! What I would like to see is a more functional mommy pocket on the Packabe. I think that if it was gusseted like the Between that would awesome. Also, it 'needs' the awesome sunglasses holder. or maybe line the bottom front packabe pocket for sunglasses. Also what's with the rounded mesh pocket in the Packabe? is that for water bottle or something? Personally I'd prefer just a regular one like on the other side, but I'm sure there are those that would disagree with me.

I'd also like to see a side entry for the changing pad as opposed to top entry. When the bag is on the stroller it's really difficult to put the pad back in w/o unclipping the bag.

Ironically, Shira, all the modifications you listed are exactly what the BRB has...which is why I have newly "fallen in love" with that bag! Now, I wonder if it'll come the new fall "blue" print...dreaming...

maybe after I get back from seattle I will see about selling/trading my packabe. I did like it for SeaWorld as I was able to stuff two small towels in there, but I could always put the towels in my stroller. I am a backpack kind of gal, so maybe I 'need' a BRB

Shira, you do "need" a BRB!
I had no idea I would like it so much, not being the backpack type in the past, but I just got one on e-bay and WOW, WOW, WOW!
I was actually going to get a packabe too, but now I want another BRB!
I'm in love.
It's totally perfect and can fit everything/anything.
It's got ergonomic, padded straps and padded back with side zipper for changing pad (used this yesterday while attached to my stroller and it was so easy to get the changing pad in and out)! The bottom compartment has a mega-mess shuttle, which I fit 3 full (9-month sized) outfits and 1 sweatshirt of clean clothes in for "accidents".
It has 2 exterior, insulated bottle pockets that (unlike the Spicy) don't smoosh in on the bag (making the interior space smaller...bad thing about Spicy) when full.
And it has the gusseted mommy pocket with sunglass holder, a zippered space on top where I fit my Be Mine perfectly, elastic straps in the main pocket to hold diapers or wipes case, a small front pouch (for emergency diapers, or in my case, burp rag), and a huge interior main pouch in which I fit 2 blankets, 6 diapers, lotion, wipes case and 9 toys!!!
Plus, my little guy loves sucking on the remaining length of the shoulder straps!
Well, you can see I love it. It's a little pricey new at $160, but there's someone selling a Purple Paisely one for $100 NWT here:

And someone else selling an EUC Black/Silver one for $95 here:

I got mine for $93 EUC off e-bay.
Oh, and someone's selling a Perky one here:

Sorry this got so long, I just love it that much! Silly me!

Thanks Shaina for your in depth review. I asked about that purple BRB, maybe I'll PM her too. I didn't see about the perky one, Hopefully someone will want my JJB duffel so I can justify this. You're not silly BTW.
