All good things come to an end, even cute diaper bags. Over a year ago my wife Brooke posted about the JJ Cole sling diaper bag, and since then we get a constant flow of emails from ladies who want to know where the heck to buy one.True, it's an awesome bag that I know my wife's enjoyed and it's possible you've even seen me using it. But it turns out JJ Cole didn't sell enough of them to keep producing the bag (what else would be the reason?). As far as we're concerned, that's a bummer.
Good news, ladies. We think we've found the fix. Overland Equipment (website) has the answer to your desire for a handy, yet good-looking, sling bag with their Shasta Sling Hiking Bag. It's not really described as a diaper bag, but it'd handle the task and then some don't you think? Like the JJ Cole bag, the Shasta gives you a place for a bottle, a small stash pocket on the back, a medium-ish pocket on the side, and a larger cavern where you can store the changing pad, wipes, and a couple of diapers. It seems to fit the "just right" category. Padded sling, yep, and quick release clip on the front - the only thing it appears to lack is that cool cell phone pocket that JJ Cole put right on the front of the strap.
When the diaper stage of parenting is over, this Shasta sling bag will still be fantastic for your day hikes, bike rides, or being on the move because it's a simple, thoughtful, classy-yet-rugged bag.
