Ok, so after posting that I chose the BRB when my DH said I could buy a new bag if I promised not to buy any more "for a while...," I am wondering if I made the right decision. Oh, I hate this about myself!!! I love all of the organization of the BRB, and I love the fact that it's a real backpack (I could never get used to the straps on the Packabe), but there is just something that I don't love about it. I can't even put my finger on it, really...maybe it's because I'm always thinking that there is something better out there that I have to have, LOL!!! So please help me decide. Should I sell my BRB and get a Be Spicy? Can anyone tell me more about the Be Spicy? One thing I loved about the Packabe is that I could fit so much in the main compartment, and I can't do that with the BRB (though, like I said, I do love all of the different compartments..).
And buying both is not an option, due to the bag-buying ban that's been imposed upon me.
So tell me what you love about both bags...please help me decide!
Thanks for any help you can offer, ladies.

If you are looking for more centralized space go forthe Be Spicy. It holds a ton, but not compartmentalized like the BRB. I really love mine, I can get lots into it! THere are still lots of pockets in the Be Spicy and the mommy pocket is great!!!! It also has the messanger strap if you want to carry it that way, and the tote handles are longer than the Be Smart so it is a bit more comfy to wear on your shoulder.

First off, let me just say that I don't have either bag nor have I seen them IRL.
But if I were to choose, I would go with the Be Spicy. Having your hands free would be a huge bonus with the BRB, but I am not a backpack person so unless I'm at Disneyland or some all day excursion like that, I would be happy with the Be Spicy. I think the BRB looks like a backpack and I'm just not big on backpacks although I love the Packabe and that is about as backpack-like as I can go. Plus, I really like the big open pocket of the Packabe. The BRB might be too organized for me and I don't know what I would do with that bottom pocket. However, I have no doubt that it's super comfortable and other Pink Ladies love it.
You can't go wrong with either. If you're a tote/messenger girl, go for the Be Spicy. If you love backpacks, go with the BRB.

I have both and if you are looking for a bag to use as an everyday bag, I'd go for the Be Spicy...it holds a lot or a little, depending on how much you have to carry on any given day. If you are looking for something for day trips or travel, then go for the BRB. I use my Be Spicy as my "purse" and the BRB for day trips and it works out fine. IMO, the BRB would be too large to carry around everyday but it's perfect for day trips or overnights. Good luck deciding!
Thanks ladies! I am so excited to get my new bag! Well, new to me, anyway, but exciting nonetheless!! And yes, black is classic, and since I prefer to wear all black to hide my baby weight, LOL, it will go perfectly with my wardrobe, too!
