3-n-1 Diaper and Travel bag

I was so excited to find this 2-in-1 diaper bag/carry cot. Years ago, I had a similar cot that I used everywhere for my 2 daughters. It was very practical as a cot, for visits, for traveling and diapering. This one looks amazing, It has many spacious pockets and is very versatile BUT... very cheaply made, the bottom has no support whatsoever so you cannot carry the baby in it (my old one had a plastified removable cardboard under the soft changing pad). As one of the other reviewers said, this cot has a horrible chemical smell (something like Naphtalene) that is impossible to get rid of. My daughter thought it was the plastic bag it came in so we got it out and aerated it outdoors, we washed the 2 sheets that came with it, the smell stayed and the plastic backing of the sheets cracked. We really tried to keep this cot, but if we cannot stand the smell ourselves, there is no way a newborn could sleep in that... makes you wonder what kind of material it is made of......However, the seller was great, we received the item in 2 days just as if it was Amazon Prime, it is unfortunate we have to return it.

I was super excited to purchase this item. I first came across it in a baby/parenting magazine & just had to have it. I love multi purpose items & since I'm planning a cross country trip with my infant & thought it would be perfect, a sleeper & a diaper bag all-in-one! I did a trial run with this bag at the hospital just to make sure it would fit my needs & it doesn't. First thing I disliked is the plastic factory smell. Normally I can get that smell out of products by putting the item outside in the fresh air for a day or so but even after 4 days the bag still reeked. The smell was so pungent I thought I had a gas leak one morning. Finally I got the smell out with a baking soda & dryer sheet combo, but I had to put it in every nook & cranny.Next I packed up the hospital baby items in the bag which is supposed to re fold into a normal looking diaper bag, it didn't. After playing around with which compartments I placed the baby's items & laying clothes flat on the inside I still couldn't get the bag to fold up nice & neat like a normal bag. I gave up & just used it as a duffle bag vs. diaper bag. This worked as a solution for the hospital run but will not work on the cross country trip. Unfortunately I'll be traveling solo with the baby so I'll need things to be as compact as possible. I'm still playing around with the bag & hoping I'll find the "trick" to making it work for me since it's a great concept.Update: Used this for our first 16 day trip to CA & it lost a star in my book (Went from 3 to 2). First several of the zippers broke off or broke in half. Not the teeth part of the zipper but the part you use to pull. They broke when I went to open the pockets. I'm not Super Girl so I wasn't using any feats of strength, jest went to open several of the pockets & they were like brittle in my hand. Only positive about that was nothing was jagged so I didn't have to worry about hurting myself on uneven breaks.Next was functionality. No matter how I packed the bag it was too bulky in the middle to fold up like an actual diaper bag, even with only the liner in the middle. I just ended up using it like a duffle bag & tossed it in the bottom of the stroller.Lastly, it utterly failed as a sleeper for my 2 month old. I tried to set it up as a co-sleeper (the readon I just had to have it) but never found a way to keep the sides from caving in.It did, however work great as a stand alone storage drawer for all the wonderful presents people gave us.My final assessment is: Great Concept, Poor Delivery

nice product and nice idea

WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! I am a first time mom and I never realized how many places don't have changing stations in restrooms. When I had to literally put paper towels on the floor then blanket then changing pad in a handicapped restroom that was it I couldn't take seeing my son having to get changed like that n it was too cold to keep running to the car with him. I was furious n dead set to find something. I'm so thankful I found this. Its pricey but so well made and he will be able to use it for years to nap in n even play in while he's very small. It comes with a spare changing pad and has an insulated pocket for bottles, can be cross body worn and even the strap unhooks so it could be attached to a stroller or shopping cart handle. SO AWESOME!!!!!!!

Never used it because it never completely finished off gassing. The smell was way too strong. Cute idea, though.

The smell was bad

Zipper are cheap as one broke at first use.

ous doesn't have the printed design the one in the picture has. We are hoping the plastic smell goes away by October. This product is so cool!! We will use it a lot spring of 2016.
