JJB BeTween v. VB Diaper Bag - *LOTS of pics*

Here are some comparisons between my LP JJB BeTween and the VB Diaper Bag.


The VB...
This bag was really great for when DS was younger and I needed to haul a bunch. It was kind of nice to just stack everything in the main compartment. The large outer pocket was used for paperwork I received, coupons, etc. Side pockets are good for sippies, but I used them for my phone, hand sanitizer, pens, and other small items. There are two interior pockets that I used for stain wipes, paci/toy clips, sunscreen, boogie wipes, etc. The main compartment held burp cloth, bib, change of clothes, toys, diapers/wipes, and my FV wrist bag (FV zip wallet pictured). It zips really easily and holds a ton

The BeTween...
I love the organization in this bag. Thought there was no way everything would fit in this bag, but it holds about the same amount as the VB (maybe a little less). I don't have either bag stuffed to the max in these pics. I usually put items that I want to be easily accessible in the back change pad pocket...phone, camera, etc. I love that the side pockets are insulated now that DS needs a sippy cup. The shoulder strap is amazing with the padded shoulder piece. It fits over my stroller handles well even without stroller hooks. I often wear it cross body and swung around to my back. It is very comfortable. Really like that it has the separate mom pocket. My FV zip wallet fits perfectly and can be pulled out for short trips.

Overall, each bag was wonderful and fit my needs. The VB worked best when DS was younger and the BeTween is a great choice for the stage we are in now.

I love me some Lush! Gorgeous!

The tween is smaller than a be-all but bigger than a ????

Does the mommy pocket always bulge out?

Bigger than the Small (which is discontinued). The small is approximately the same size but narrower and the bottle pocket is inside so it holds less. It's one big zippered pocket and a mommy pocket vs. 2 zippered pockets, 2 bottle pockets and a mommy pocket.

It can bulge out but it doesn't have to.

Great comparison!

I still love the size and style of the VB! I want a MB, but not sure the structure would work for a diaper bag

LOOOOOVE the VB bag! Is that the same print as the coin purse?

Yes, it is the same print I got it at the VB Outlet sale they have in Ft. Wayne every year!

That VB bag is GORGEOUS!

Thanks! If the MB doesn't work for me as a diaper bag, I might go back to using the VB

Really? In the store too? I think it's more because it's a retired print.
But oh well....just my luck.

Sorry...I meant I looked on eBay for the Cambridge coin pouch. No Cambridge print at the store...it's been retired for a while.

No problem! I'm sure something in Cambridge might show up on eBay soon

I still can't get over how big that VB bag is. It looks like it can fit a TON!

Yup! It's amazing! But still very manageable when out and about. I'm hoping the MB will be similar although it's not as deep.

Great pictures! I have the VB Super Tote in that print. I keep meaning to buy more VB bags but I never have money left after I buy all the JJB I want.

It's hard to go back to the VB since JJB has such great features...I know what you mean

I have to agree...too many nice features to get spoiled with
