ThirtyOne Zip-Top Organizing Utility Tote

The 31 bags Zip Top Utility Tote is making its way around the cloth diapering world and has received wonderful reviews. It’s not technically a diaper bag, but it does make a very functional budget-friendly alternative to some of the more costly options out there. A representative of the company who happens to be a Fluff Love & CD Science member was so kind and lent one to me to review for the blog. It does not have a lot of bells and whistles, so I do recommend either using a wet/dry bag or an organizing insert inside of it to keep things separated.

 

This week’s contents include:

  • 6 diaper changes (6 soakers, 2 shells)
  • wipes
  • blanket
  • wet/dry bag
  • outfit change
  • glass food jar
  • bib
  • spoon
  • sippy cup
  • first aid kit
  • makeup bag
  • board book
  • 3 toys
  • sunglasses
  • wallet
  • keys
  • phone
  • shopping bag

I opted for my Skip Hop Grab & Go Wet/Dry Bag to organize a little bit. All of my small stuff went in the front dry pocket to keep it easily accessible.

There are no interior pockets to this bag, so I lined everything up in two layers- diaper changes on the bottom with snacks and whatnot, and toys/mom things on the top.

The exterior pockets are very roomy, big enough for my water bottle and sippy cup.

This is a great bag for $35. It’s not the most ideal for a family of multiples, unless it is used for a short outing, but for a bag to hand off to a babysitter or an overnight bag for a single child, it’s a wonderful option. It does not have all of the fancy features of a traditional bag, but if that is not important to you, you really cannot beat it.
