The Search for the Perfect Diaper Bag - Hoohobbers Review & Giveaway

I'm having the this problem with diaper bags. I either love the bag or hate it. If you didn't read my original post on "The Search for the Perfect Diaper Bag" then you should before you read this post to get an understanding of where this saga started. So far I've tried about 4. I tried purse style, messenger style, and tote style. Most recently I started using a tote style Diaper Bag from a company called Hoohobbers. I love it!

Hoohobbers is a Chicago based company that has designed and manufactured its own line of products since 1981. They have everything from furniture to bibs, bedding, art smocks to beautiful Moses Baskets. They even make the hanging cradle bedding. I still have my hanging cradle from when I was a baby! Elijah weighs too much for it now, but you better believe I will be ordering bedding for it for our next baby!

Their very first item was their Junior Director's Chair and since then they have added so many wonderful award winning products to their line! Hoohobbers even offers special personalizing and customizing services in quick turn-around times. They will even design products using your own materials. WOW! I could send them my material I found and bought anywhere and they could make Elijah a new crib set. How awesome is that? They even do custom bedding up to king size! I could get a set made for his crib and then another set for his big boy bed, and then another set for our king sized bed in the same pattern. I don't know why, but that really excites me. So for all you parents who have the baby's crib in your room, or your baby and your older child share a room, you can still decorate the room in one print! How cool is that?

I could not believe the amount of their products that you can personalize with names or monograms. BUT I have to say my absolute part of their store is that you can have EVERYTHING match. Seriously. Just about everything. You go to their swatch page online or in their catalog, pick out your favorite, and then go through their catalog picking out all the great stuff you want in the same pattern.

Okay, so back to the diaper bag. They have 3 different styles Tote, like I received, back pack and messenger.
The can all be personalized and come in so many great fabrics! They are long-lasting and durable with nylon reinforced bottoms, nylon lined insides, nylon lined pockets
AND come with nylon changing pads [which wipes clean SO easy.]
All three stylish diaper bags have four pockets (pockets on the tote diaper bags and backpack diaper bags are outside; on the messenger diaper bags they're inside.) They are all machine washable even! I know :::gasp:::!

The backpack diaper bag can be used as a single-strap sling, or the sling can be unzipped for regular backpack use.
The straps on the tote diaper bag snap around any stroller handle!

This is a perfect grab and go diaper bag. I am pleased how well it goes with my wardrobe. It doesn't shout "Mom" but is roomy enough to hold Elijah's diapering supplies, bottles, and my stuff instead of me carrying a separate purse. I'm so excited to use my Hoohobbers tote diaper bag! Every time we go out now and I carry it with me and I feel just as good as if I were carrying a Dooney & Burke or XOXO handbag!

I would LOVE to hear what your opinion is too on this awesome diaper bag!
And guess what? Hoohobbers wants to as well! So they have offered to give a lucky reader one of their tote diaper bags!
