This PVC-Free, Eco-friendly Diaper Bag is Practical and Hip

safbaby | April 24, 2009 | 4 Comments

Here is our take on this pvc-free and eco-friendly diaper bag by FleurVille.  I mean, we are both moms (Sandra ready to be a mama AGAIN) so we have had our fair share of experience with diaper bags.  And we never really have fallen for a diaper bag until now.

Most diaper bags are huge, and if you are a mama who carries your babe mostly in a baby carrier or sling toting a huge bag around with you too just does not work.  And I know because I have been there, done that.

Hanging the huge bag on my arm wasn’t easy, it would fall down all the time and was totally inconvenient. I usually left it in the car and had to run back to get wipes and diapers.

Since I was breastfeeding, I never really needed baby bottles either, so carrying around a huge bag wasn’t necessary.  And now that she is potty trained, my mega diaper bag has no practical use.  But, this hip diaper bag from FleurVille doubles wonderfully as a really cool purse too.

That’s why we highly recommend getting this cool looking Re-Run MicroPod Bag by Fleurville available on Nubius Organics.

PVC-Free Diaper Bag

Most diaper bags contain PVC, a toxic and hard to recycle plastic – all bags by FleurVille are made of recycled plastic bottles!

Each MicroPod we build keeps three 600ml plastic water bottles out of landfill.

It has 3 storage areas:

  • The main compartment contains enough room for the included wipe case and changing cloth (both are included with bag!) as well as one or two diapers.  Now that I am not carrying diapers, I can easily fit my tri-fold wallet and a few other random small things in there too.
  • The fully fleece-lined scratch proof exterior pocket protects your sunglasses, cell phone or iPod from scratches. The Re-Run™ silicone badge has an ear piece ‘pass-through’ so you can talk on you phone or listen to you concealed iPod.  Also love that this pocket is so easy to get too, so no digging through the endless pit to find that emergency binky.
  • A hidden sippy cup pocket deploys from the side when necessary to carry a bottle or sippy cup.  But my cell phone fits perfectly in that easy-to-get-to side pocket too!

It can be worn in many different ways; messenger, over the shoulder, around the waist or hung from a stroller.  The design, the colors, the versatility all make this diaper bag a hit with these SAFbaby mamas!

Available on Nubius Organics for $28. Enter ‘SAFSAVE’ at checkout and receive a 15% discount!

    Does anyone know if Fleurville bags are BPA and lead free- I can’t seem to get this answer? Thanks
