Oi Oi is a Australian-based company that makes stunningly beautiful bags. This one is brown/white canvas outside with water resistant interior. It comes with a thermal bottle bag, a plastic baby wipe carrier, a clear plastic pocket, and a baby changing pad. The two side pockets are both thermal insulated, and would fit bottles on each side. The bottom is studded with 4 nickel stands. The large, durable strap can be worn over the shoulder or across the chest. The size is 14" wide x 11" tall x 5" gusset.
First Impressions:This bag is off-the-hook sexy. FIERCE. To prove this point, we had a lady in the shop try to BUY the bag from us even AFTER we told her it was a diaper bag, and another Australian customer vouching for the quality of the bag/company. It's canvas, so it has a good feel to it, not too stiff. The bright orange interior is good for finding things in the bag, and everything about it is practical- the accessories (a thermal bottle holder!), the size, the depth, and the various compartments inside. Karl was concerned it might be a little too big, but I didn't mind too much. Overall, someone put a good deal of thought into this bag.
Second Glance:
The materials, for the most part are very high quality. We like the wipeable liner, and the bonded canvas, as well as the strap material. We are less thrilled with the imitation leather riveted strap connectors, and the fact that the bag is single-stitched everywhere. However, there is tons of space, and the magnetic closures are just great - easy to use and secure. It also sits very flat and open for ease of baby changing. We also love the side thermal pockets; what a great touch!!!
Conclusion:This bag is the frontrunner right now! It's going to be hard to beat, even with the very few drawbacks. And it's just so sexy.

I must admit, I never thought of my diaper bag as sexy!
I LOVE THIS BAG! Given my affinity for giraffes and, well, everything african, i am drooling over this bag. i am with the lady at the store: even if i wasn't in the market for a diaper bag, i would want this bag! this bag makes me want to cheat on my current diaper bag which is saying a lot because we've been in a loving, committed relationship for over six months. send the rest of them back, now, beth...this is the winner!
Yeah, I'm a big fan of this bag. Although I'm with Lisa... I never thought of describing a diaper bag as "sexy" either. But, then again, why not?
agreed: "sexy" is indeed an unlikely descriptor for a diaper bag. but...one could argue that, ahem, sex is what caused the need for the diaper bag in the first place. so. perhaps in actually, "sexy" is the perfect descriptor for a diaper bag and all other things baby.
except for the baby itself. now that's just downright wrong.
i affirm the others...this is the bag...i really wanted one of those cool seatbelt bags for my diaper bag...i can't remember the brand right now...but i wanted a backpack...i change bags so often, so, as you said, i'm sure this won't be the last one, 'cause you need multiple ones to go with multiple looks...
