Shyft DualRide Babe on The Run Essentials Bag

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The biggest complaint I hear from people about this car seat is that there is no where to put your things/a basket. This is a great solution. I keep mine in my car for on the go and I would throw in diapers, wipes, extra clothes, etc…when I need to. It's really easy to attach this bag to the Shyft. I didn't wear it a ton as a cross body. I prefer my diaper bag that's like a book bag, but that's completely personal. I felt like the bag was well thought out. It has a lot of storage and pockets! It is small but mighty! Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the convertible nature of this bag. I've had a backpack type diaper bag before and found it to be too bulky but this sleeker crossbody bag is more in line with my style and preference for how to carry a bag. Everything is more accessible when wearing as a crossbody compared to the backpack type diaper bags. And I can easily tuck it away on the hook of the stroller/carseat combo when I don't feel like carrying it. The black color hides stains and dirt easily and it's easy to wipe clean. Normally I wouldn't buy this high end of a product but I was fortunate to receive this item through the Stellar testing panel and the product is a good value for the price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have to say that this bag makes me love my Shyft DualRide car seat even that much more. I hated carrying a diaper bag around on my adventures. I always ended up pulling out a diaper and wipes and throwing them in the bottom bag. However, I always managed to need something from my diaper bag and ended up going back to the car. This bag fits just what you need for a shopping trip and just slips over the hook in front of the stroller. I fit diapers for two, an outfit for each, wipes, diaper cream, sanitizer, pacifier, a bottle, sippy cup, water bottle for myself, snacks, and my keys and wallet. The hidden wipes pocket is genius! I can just slip my hand into the slit in front and pull out a wipe in seconds; no needing to dig through the bag. There are tons of smaller pockets inside to organize your things so everything can be found easily. If I need more room I put in a disposable changing pad and leave the padded one it came with in the car. I love how convenient this straps to the car seat. I just grab, slip on, and go. Just seconds to have it ready to go. I also can just reach around front and grab what I need when out and about. I love organization and this bag just has a place for everything. I can find and grab anything I need in seconds. I find myself using this bag even on outings where I drag my double because I just love how much it fits and how small it is. I can easily carry it while holding my infant son or daughter without it being in the way. The shoulder strap easily adjusts so I can wear it like a pocketbook or as a crossbody. It is a very stylish bag. Thank you stellar testing panel for providing me the bag to try. I have since ordered one as a baby shower gift and can not wait to surprise the new mom. I have seven children and have had many diaper bags. This one is by far my favorite compact diaper bag. I can't think of anything that wasn't thought of when designing this bag. I will definitely continue to use it even when my infant outgrows the Shyft car seat.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm in love with this bag. The crossbody feature is my favorite, and allows me to be hands free while loading my baby in the stroller. I really enjoy carrying it because the outside wipes dispenser is so well thought out, and the outside mini pocket is perfect for my phone or sunglasses. Since the school year has started, we're walking daily with the stroller. This smaller bag is perfect for those short trips - allowing myself to carry along the essentials without a bulky, oversized diaper bag. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this car seat accessory!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited for the opportunity from The Stellar Product Testing Panel to be able to test out the Shyft DualRide Babe on The Run Essentials Bag. And to say the least, this bag holds true to its name! It is definitely the epitome of an on the go essentials bag that is perfectly made to utilize with the Shyft DualRide Stroller, or for even use without the stroller! I was really looking forward to being able to use this bag, because it seemed as though it would be the most convenient way to be able to take my baby essentials along with us and it sure was. The bag connects to the back of the car seat by a hanging loop and sits just a few inches off the ground. It actually looks quite perfect there and is easily out of the and easily stored. It connects on and off of the hook easily and securely, so no worry about it falling or becoming disconnected. If you want access to your essentials bag, you simply remove it off of the hook and can wear the bag as over the shoulder or crossbody as well. A well formulated opening on the outside conveniently allows you access to wipes you place in the opening without having to dig through the bag. It closes with a pull/drawstring and little tightener. The strap of the bag is easily lengthened or shortened for your preference. Each end is equipped with openings for bottles or on the go water bottles or cups to be held. On the backside is a zipper which opens to a nice space to hold things like your phone or keys or can even hold the diaper changing mat that is also included with the bag and can be tucked away within that space. Inside the bag is one spot for a bottle or cup to be held as well as a zipper pouch to open to place your wipes in for easy access from the outside. Three elastic see-through netted compartments allow to hold things like tissues, extra plugs or medicine; smaller things. Behind those is just a flap that creates another space for things to be held like diapers or burp rags. The inside is spacious enough to hold your essentials, as well as babies combined. I look forward to continuing to use my essentials bag with the stroller or even as an essentials bag for on the go in the car! What a great bag to have!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bag is the best! Remember hunting through giant diaper bags for wipes? That day has ended. This bag is deceptive. It looks small, but holds everything you need and it even has a special pocket for wipes so that you can pull out a wipe without even opening the bag! Add in a diaper changing mat and a hook to attach this to the dual ride shyft (or as a light, stylish crossbody bag) and you have this amazing diaper bag. Right now my bag has diapers, wipes, etc. for an infant as well as snacks for a toddler and some of my own personal stuff. Brilliant! I'll never go back to big and bulky again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this car seat accessory to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. The Shyft DualRide Babe on The Run Essential Bag was the only thing I was missing to make my Shyft DualRide car seat combo perfect. The only downside of the stroller was that it didn't have any place for storage. The car seat combo turns into a stroller by simply releasing the wheels, and those usually don't have any baskets to store any of the babies stuff. It was a hassle having to carry his diaper bag because it's heavy. I would have to fit his bottles, diapers and wipes in my purse because I didn't have anywhere to place it in the stroller. I was also limited in what I could take with me because i couldn't fit much in my purse. BUT, now that I have the essential bag, everything is much easier. The essential bag is easily attached to the stroller, since it was made specifically for the Evenflo Shyft DualRide Combo. Most importantly, I am able to fit most of his essentials in the bag. It has a spot where I can place the wipes, bottles, and diapers. At first, I didn't think I was going to be able to fit much but the pockets are very spacious and organized. It has two side pockets for water or bottles and even has a key chain where I can hang my keys. My favorite feature definitely is how i can use it as a crossbody bag and how stylish it looks as well. This bag is perfect for anyone that has this stroller or for anyone that's looking for a stylish diaper bag that's not too big. Highly recommend it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Shyft DualRide Babe on The Run Essentials Bag is AMAZING. Having a carseat and stroller combo is already “bigger” than your typical carseat. This bag makes the load so much lighter! It attaches super smoothly and easily to the DualRide stroller. There are not tools required and it is so very convenient and spacious! It has a spot for ALL babies needs! The only thing that was a little less than convenient was the room between the seat and stroller. I often have to remove the Shyft DualRide Babe on The Run Essentials Bag in order to get the DualRide stroller combo into the vehicle. Overall this bag is a very good addition and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone with a little one when on the go! I absolutely LOVE being apart of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and am thankful for being able to test this amazing bag!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having already had baby number one and now with baby number two, I know that having a bag of 'essentials' wherever we go is an absolute must. I would like to say thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this car seat accessory bag to try out. Being able to wear this bag across my shoulder or attach it to the stroller is my favorite feature of the bag. I tried this bag out via wearing it as a crossbody bag, as well as attaching it to our Shyft DualRide stroller. When carrying it as a crossbody bag, it feels comfortable. However, I often carry our baby in a wrap. Wearing the baby while also wearing the crossbody bag feels uncomfortable and awkward. Attaching it to the stroller was easy, but the strap does always seem to dangle when it is hanging on the stroller. Also, I'm not a big fan of the fact that the bag hangs on the opposite side of the stroller that I am pushing it from. Because of that, I could see it being potentially easy for someone to steal something out of the bag. All that being said, it was easy to use while out and about. The bag is easy to get to and easy to open and close. The design of the bag has room for improvement in my opinion. I think it is a little too small, even for just the essentials. I really like the idea of the baby wipe opening, but it doesn't really seem functional. If you put the wipes with the wipe container in the bag, you then cannot open the wipes container because the slot is too small. If you take the wipes out of the wipes container and then put them in the wipes slot in the bag, they will dry out fast. So, while it seems like a great idea, the functionality needs improvement. I also like the idea of the magnets on the bag and the top flap to keep it shut, but when the bag is full, it is almost impossible to shut it and keep it shut with the magnets. I think the top flap needs to be longer to make the bag easier to shut, and stay shut. Overall, this bag provides positives and negatives. The option to carry it across the body or attach to the stroller is great. But it needs improvements in too many other areas for me to justify using this over our other daily bags we use for baby essentials.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think because the stroller is such high quality. I assumed that the attached diaper bag would be the same quality but it was not. Becomes packaged pretty poorly in a plastic bag all squished up so you have to open it up and fluff it up. But once you have it all pulled up and done it does look pretty slick attached to the stroller. I got this product from the company stellar panel for my honest review.
