| Just curious how everyone uses them. Do they sit unloved or do you rotate? How often do you rotate?
Right now I am struggling with the Be Small. I can't fit everything for me and the kids in it so am using it for just kids when I need a few extras along. Any other bright ideas? | |

| Well, for me this is an easy question.... I have exactly one bag!!
My lush Pakabe! :-) It get's used daily!! It is my carry all bag. I keep it in the car and only carry in the small essentials so I don't have to take the whole bag in!

| Hi Amy I rotate them more in the summer than in the fall/winter months...reason being is we tend to go to amusement parks, zoo, splash pad etc...right now my skip hop duo double goes with me to the amusement park, the built in clips work beautifully and it holds a TON without being bulky, its amazing that I can put in spare clothes AND waterpark stuff + extras . My JJB Packabe is normally my go to bag for the splash pad but I am kind of downsizing with ds now so I am actually using my JJB Be Spicy as my everyday bag and just add what I need...sometimes on wkends I may switch to my LB duchess. I've stopped using my baby bee fabien bag as its already falling apart quite disappointed in the craftmanship considering I barely have used it... I am sure I am missing something but I can't remember what else I have and use lol | |

| I use my AK Gladiola as my day to day bag. My poor CL BeAll is sitting unused at the momet because they're about the same size.
My PackaBe is used for those days where I need to pack a lot, like if we're going to the park or on a day trip.
The BePrepared is used for overnight trips which don't happen often.
My FV sling tote gets used when I go out with just one kid, which is very rare.
My BeLights are used mostly as library totes.
My WannaBe is used when I go to the beach or the pool.
So for the most part my bags all have a specific purpose so there's no need to really rotate. It just depends on which one fits my needs best that day. | |

That is what I do too. Some days I find myself wanting to just use a bag that has not gotten a lot of love lately. | |

| I rarely rotate. I get stuck on a bag for a while before I change it up My Reese is so perfect for me. Used to be the Marigold.... should switch back for a bit, I miss it Most of my bags are unloved I'm a bad bag owner | |

| I have a Black/Envy Packabe and I take that one to my parent's house or when Andrew (my baby) stays over with my parents. I pack everything that he needs in there.
I also have a BB Smart and that's my Sunday bag. I don't need to pack as much because we just go out to eat and we go to the mall, etc. So that is the bag I take.
I was going to get a Be Small when they were on babysteals but they all sold out before I could get one. I was going to use that one as a trip bag (for Andrew's clothes when we go on vacation, like a little suitcase).
Well, that's all. I will be getting more bags IF I like the LE prints. | |

| I rotate between 5 of my bags pretty regularly, just depending on what I feel like taking out that day. I like to pack the same thing no matter where I'm going so I am prepared, so I use most of them for the same purpose. Because of that, my larger bag (BRB) and smaller one (Light) don't get used as much as my medium sized bags. Ones I use regularly: Ak Gladiola AK Lily Babymel Amanda FV Sling Tote SM Cosmo Tote (yay!) I use my JJB Large Sets as a purse when it is just me. Ones I hardly use, except for a long day trip which is rare, or a really short trip....which I end up just packing more than normal to be safe. TT BRB CB Be Light I realize I'm not using my JJB bags at all, just the accessories. That makes me a little sad. I'm just a tote girl and I don't like things too bulky on me. The smart didn't hang far enough from my shoulder for me and I am actually getting a Spicy in the mail soon that I got for pretty cheap just to try. I am hoping it works out! For some reason, most messenger style bags seem really uncomfortable to me, so far the Babymel Amanda is the only one I've found that is comfy, since the strap isn't too bulky and it doesn't stick out from my hip. | |

| Are you all going to roll your eyes at me if I say I use the AK Gladiola as my travel bag... AGAIN My Kalencom weekender as my Gym bag Reese Li Lex as my everyday bag and I switch off with the AK Marigold or I use the AK Marigold when I have a nice amount to carry but don't need the "just in case" room FV writlet for my ID's when I travel and I also used it as the perfect little bag on the cruise when I stepped out of the cabin Be Quicks for make up, toiletries or a small bag when I go to WW | |

| LMAO!!! Well thank you! Also used my T&L wristlet that I got with the bag to run out of the house yesterday. Was perfect. When it's in the bag, it's my stuff holder. Chap stick, mini perfume, mirror.... I'm loving the bag!!! | |
