Celebs Love Ju-Ju-Be’s Stylish Be All Diaper Bag
 Ju-Ju-Be Be All Bag |
Searching for a diaper bag that’s high on style but not short on substance? Ju-Ju-Be serves up both with its hip “Be All” bag ($120), chock full of clever features designed to make a mom’s life easier. It’s so chic — style savvy celeb moms like Samantha Harris, Ali Landry, Britney Spears and Marissa Jaret Winokur (above) have already snapped one up.
Coated in Teflon to repel stains, the durable Be All (14”x 11” x 5 ½”) — the company’s top selling bag— contain tons of storage space, including two Thinsulate-lined exterior pockets to keep bottles cold for three hours as well as a squishy waterproof changing pad treated with an anti-bacterial agent.
It also comes with two crumb drains, located in the bottom of the bag so you can clean up food messes without emptying the whole bag. And quiet magnets serve as closures, instead of noisy Velcro which tend to wake sleeping babes.
Other cool features: a detachable waterproof pouch to store soiled clothing, a clip for keys, a front “mommy pocket to stash your wallet or phone and a plastic picture pocket to show off photos of your little munchkins. The bag comes in 21 bright, upbeat patterns, each adorned with rhinestones on the zipper pulls and buckles.
My only complaint — albeit a small one — is that the metal buckles can make the bag feel a tad heavy when already weighed down with bottles. But overall, this bag rocks!

I have this bag and I love it. Sometimes when we go away overnight it’s definitely too small but I just pack and extra bag no problem. I highly recommend this bag. I have it in black and silver and my husband doesn’t mind at all toting it around

Yay! Ju ju be is the best. They make the best bags and have the absolute best customer service. Their devoted fan base is one of the most amazing groups of women (and a few men!) you’ll meet. Join the “Pink Room” http://www.ju-ju-be.com/pinkroom/ and you’ll learn what I mean!

Would this diaper bag be large enough to hold enough for three kids in diapers? We’re potentially going to have three in diapers in April 2010 and need a larger diaper bag than what we have now. We may only have two in diapers, but I am planning for the worst if my three year old isn’t potty trained by then. I doubt he will be b/c he is non verbal and doesn’t respond to his name so I doubt he’ll start using the potty anytime soon, but there is still time to have hope! LOL

For three in diapers, I recommend the Ju-Ju-Be Be Prepared bag (it is HUGE and awesome!) I LOVE it! I also love the Be Spicy bag (very big and adorable). Hope that helps!

I love the style of Ju Ju Be Bags, but am TOTALLY turned off by the Teflon they use (and tout) in their bags! A recent UCLA study found that pregnant women and women of child-bearing age in the United States are at greater risk than previously thought for infertility and reproductive problems as result of exposure to the toxic Teflon chemical PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid). Research has shown that PFOA can disrupt fetal development, hormonal function and the immune system and increase the risk of heart disease and cancer. Contamination of the food and water supply has the potential to damage the reproductive systems of a large number of women of child-bearing age nationwide. NOT GOOD. Wish they’d get rid of Teflon, I’d buy their bags again if they did!

I agree with everything Andrea said! JJB is the best! I own several of their bags and I love each and every one for different reasons!

Jessie,
I think you should do a little more reashearch about the kind of Teflon that Ju-Ju-Be uses. You are sooo of base its not even funny, their bags are not harmfull whats so ever. You seem a little naive if you ask me.

I totally agree – JJB bags are the best I’ve ever owned, and the Pink Room is a fantastic place to find suggestions on how to pack the bags the most efficiently.
With regards to the Teflon – you and your baby won’t be eating the bags, right?

Actually the type of Teflon Ju Ju Be uses can be absorbed through the skin. You might want to do some research as well. 95% of Americans have Teflon detectable in their blood – even those who do not use Teflon pans. It is an extremely toxic substance linked to cancer. Why it is in diaper bags that are used by mothers and touched by children is beyond me. Ju Ju Be also uses Agion, which is nanoparticles of silver, in their products. The safety of nanoparticles is unknow and it is recommended to avoid usage until more scientific studies can be conducted. I don’t mind being labeled as “off base”…the same label was given to me by friends and family when I tried to ring alarm bells against BPA in bottles back in 2005. I do like Ju Ju Be bag quality, but cannot recommend their bags until they stop coating them in toxic substances and metallic nanoparticles (fyi, nano = so small it can enter your bloodstream too, via skin).

@ Jessie – Because there’s so much misinformation out there about Teflon, I’m not surprised that you are concerned. I’m a representative of DuPont though, and hope you’ll let me share some information with you and everyone else that is reading this.
In regards to PFOA and cancer – The weight of evidence gathered from a number of significant health studies continues to indicate to us that there is no health risk to the general public from exposure to PFOA. Additionally, no authoritative body has designated PFOA as a human carcinogen. The U.S. EPA stated that it is premature to conclude that PFOA causes cancer. For more information, please visit http://www.epa.gov/oppt/pfoa/pubs/pfoarisk.html. http://www.teflon.com/Teflon/teflonissafe and http://www.pfoa.dupont.com can provide you with additional information.

I also encourage readers here to visit EPA website Ross4Teflon linked to. The site contains a letter from the EPA Scientific Advisory Board Chair (dated 5/30/2006) stating that “three-quarters of the Panel judged that the weight-of-evidence conclusion for the potential of PFOA to cause cancer in humans was more aligned and consistent with the hazard descriptor of likely to be carcinogenic as described in the Agency’s cancer guidelines.” The Panel also “strongly urges the Agency to strengthen its risk assessment by considering verified and peer reviewed new information found to be relevant and critical to the assessment.” So basically, the EPA panel is strongly encouraging more peer-reviewed studies and the label of carcinogenic for PFOA. In addition, a 2009 study published in Human Reproduction, a European reproductive medicine journal, has found that “pregnant women and women of child-bearing age in the United States are at greater risk than previously thought for nfertility and reproductive problems as result of exposure to the toxic Teflon chemical PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid).” Something to consider at the very least.
